I sadly remember the party line too. When we got a private line it was all this excitment in our home!

I pointed out the phone to him and he asked "what's this?!". It was an old rotary dial phone which I hadn't replaced because it still worked. That may have been the first time he called me a Luddite but it wasn't the last.<br /><br />As a teenager, my parents put a 20 foot long cord on the reciever so we could duck into the broom closet for private calls. It was a good decision with 4 teens in the house!allenwoodhavennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-36818209890863729322011-10-04T05:57:45.760-04:002011-10-04T05:57:45.760-04:00Don't worry.

It's also supposed to be exclusive to Sprint for the first 6 months with a special new version of the iPhone 4 for those on AT&T and Verizon.<br /><br />So sorry to hear that you have all of those Apple devices. My mental image of you is now just a tiny bit tarnished. :( <br /><br />By the way, I couldn't drag the home phone into the bathroom because a) my sister was always locked in there and b) it was wall-mounted in the kitchen, making privacy impossible in the Weyman home. My mother could hear what you were thinking anyway.Wabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327252328190944633noreply@blogger.com
