I listened to your answering machine messages then erased them Silver...Why do you still have an answering machine? It had tapes in it and everything! The one I erased said dance mix and it was all just messages from telemarketers... Your weird.
You haven't got one yet? I was issued one on my eleventh birthday. It's pretty awesome. I forgot where I put the tape. Did you check in the tape deck in your kitchen? I think I was jamming out when I was rummaging.
I had 8 tracks as well. I picked them up at a garage sale in 08 got home and was deeply troubled it didn't work. I'm still not sure what they are but I don't like em. Not one bit.
