Egorr: …The telephone had NO dial… you had to pick up the handset and ask for the Operator to connect you!…
Arrrgh! Tablet is only charging up half the time and it powered off while I was merrily perusing comments. Irritating! So, now I'm on the cell. More irritating!
I'm back. You can send money anyway.
Phoning it in...?
Some comic relief. Five new original songs, somewhere between the weird and the humorous.

Complaining about the lack of privacy in the ancient times before every kid had a cell.
I was never on a party line, but my brother was when he moved to rural Missouri - with the inevitable snoopy neighbor who was always listening in on everyone's calls.
Gotta move from town to country. Might be back.
If I'm not... leave a message at the tone.

MWNP: ...the physical action of slamming down a rotary dial or tone actual land line phone handset. No app will ever give one that feeling. It is a physical thing.
Y-not: Holding these stupid cell phones is annoying.
I remember when we upgraded to rotary phones and seven-digit numbers.
What a shame to give up on the simple three-digit numbers and voice-activated dialing.
Phones went out in mom's neighborhood for several days. The woman who works for her bought her a cell.
Okay. Nostalgia tech. Not that I haven't told this b4.
Thinking of changing several things on our family cell plan, and dumping AT&T its on the possibilities list.
So, if not AT&T... Who?
When I want to impress the kids, I tell them about how when I was very young, we already had voice-activated dialing.
