Stuff is hot and ready.

Got everything straightened out with the home phone and cell phone (my wireless provider accidently gave my new cell the phone number of my home phone, they were supposed to transfer my old cell phone number to the smart phone).  Had to answer incoming home phone call on my wireless for a a day or two.  Everything is squared away now.

This morning is starting out cold and sunny at 30 heading for a high of 40.  We start a week long warming to day with a goal of highs near 50 by next Monday.

Rusty- i think you maybe the only person i know that has a house phone these days.


Just for kicks get a rotory dial phone and ask a grandchild to call someone on it. It like pushing a slinky down the steps.

I have one of those (dial-in-handset phone, not grandkid).  I's' in a spare bedroom to answer incoming calls only.  Have another of the same mode, but with a touchtone dial that gives me emergency access if the power goes out and all the wireless base stations quit working.  The home phone doesn't cost that much, and I don't have to worry about using up wireless cell phone minutes.

Ours is free with the package, handy for finding a missing cell phone.  Few people have the number and no answering machine.

I still have a home phone, cell service is on and off here at the house(mostly off). Wish I could get rid of it, the cost keeps creeping up. It's not really the basic cost for the service , but all the "Taxes and fees" that add up to more than the service. I think rotary won't work here anymore. When I moved into this area30 years ago, I had a party line. and then when they finally got rid of those, we still couldn't call out of town without going through the operator.

Evening all.  I'll heat the coffee for the late watch. ::)

Did a lot of traveling today.  Had to take my mom back to the dentist today to get her tooth looked at again.  Hopefully she got that straightened out. 
Right after getting home from that, I grabbed a PB and J and got back in the car to go to the city for my own dentist appointment.  Managed to get a quick trip to one of the big gun stores down there.  Nothing I couldn't live without, though a Swedish Mauser in 8mm was calling to me.  $385, plus taxes and fees.  :-\

back to work tomorrow monring.

By the way, I still have a house phone.  One cordless, and one made in 1993 that was a gift to my parents for their anniversary.  ::)

The county still has a party line in south county, too.  One of the small towns actually had an original telephone from around 1910.

Good afternoon, Gents, I thank'ee for the cuppajoe, my day just getting started, since I slept past noon; must'a been tired, or something.

We, too, have a "house phone", sort of a knee jerk thing, would feel disconnected without it, but for the most part, it is only a nod to being older; it is served by cable rather than the direct wire telephone system, so when the power fails, so does the phone.  We can't justify the use of two separate utilities, and the phone company only offers tv service through satellite.  Our cell phones have become our primary means of communication.

Back in the early eighties, I was a Webelos Den Leader in the Boy Scouts, and had twelve ten year olds to wrangle.  One weekend, I had to work on Saturday (a more common situation than I liked) so one of the boy's dad took on a crafty project for the kids at his gaage.  I stopped i after I got off to see how things were going, and helped finish up.  Since a few of the boys lived on my street or an adjoining one, I said I would take them home, and told them to call their folks to let them know.  Augie had a desk phone in the garage, a standard rotary dial piece, and I noticed one of my boys walked over to it, picked up the handpiece and looked at it, looked at the desk piece, hung it up, looked around kind of confused.  He picked up the handpiece again, and poked at the dial, but didn't turn it, and was just generally confounded by that phone.  I finally went over and showed him how it worked, and he made the call.  Now, his sister was my older son's girlfriend ----------------

----- (I started thjis at 1400, and it is now 2050, sort of got sidetracked)  Well, eldest son and girlfriend are now married (25 years, my gawd) and that little Webelos is now one of my extended family kids, arguably the most accomplished and successful one of the bunch - he is now a highly respected Pediatric Anesthesiologist with a practice that covers most of Southern California.  When he got his MD, I told him I would not tell folks of his telephone adventure any more ----- but I lied.   ;D ;D ;D
