traveller's checks, and once-a-week-four-minute-pay-phone-calls-that-cost-$20 from 1992-93.
THIS! I was in London the spring of 93, and my mom saved all the letters and postcards I sent them. I called my folks like, 3 times in 5 months, and when I got my tax return and needed the money desperately, they had to send it Western Union, or some such.
I wrote all my papers for classes, including a 12 page research paper, longhand, because no one had access to computers in my program. ONE person in our program of 40 people had a laptop, and it was purely for WP.
You guys, I want to eat the same thing for lunch every day. Is that OK?
I think that is OK. I eat the same thing most weeks, because I bring in cold cuts and make sandwichs.
I am SUPER BORED. I really should work. I have reached the end of the internet. I am mildly agitated because people on the bus were yelling and it aggravated me. (the bus driver and a wheelchair patron got into a fight because he didn't buckle her in).
I eat the same things for meals almost every day, when I'm home. After a while, I get bored and switch to something else. I have not died of malnutrition yet.
I eat the same thing for lunch, it's cheap and reassuring.
edit: What Zen said. I change when I'm bored. I don't like experimenting with food.
I am not working. I am looking at this labradoodle. [link]

Oliver Sacks does. So yes.
I wish I could get myself into a routine and eat the same meals over and over again. I feel like the reduction in daily decisions would be wonderful. When I was slavishly following the Atkins 2-week Induction menu i had that for a while, but now I have my various CSAs to eat up.
Also, deciding on a "uniform" to wear to work (or to the gym for that matter). I use up a lot of energy deciding what to wear and what to eat and I have to do it EVERY DAY. That can't be optimal.
I eat about five different meals altogether, because that's what I like. As long as 'the same lunch' is part of a reasonably balance diet, I don't think there's much basis for others' opinions.
I sort of have a uniform, but I think it might not be that noticible because it is in all different colors. But every day I wear bike shorts and a cami, then but a dress and a scarf over it. Pretty much all my camis and scarfs go with all my dresses if you are OK with bright color mixing.
In the winter, I wear tights.
