I like your site, but I may have to give in to sleep.

I remember these phones, the ones where there was never a private conversation because the phone was centrally located in the house and there was only one phone or the neighbors were listening on the party line. Today the kids can speak as they choose to without parents ever knowing what they're up to, not a good thing in my opinion but it's a reality in our instant society we all live in. Progress or hindrance? <br /><br />Magnificent photo Chas! Thank you for the jarring my memory back to the good old un-private days! :-)darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095516510953968940.post-30120869206798414232011-01-13T18:11:17.489-08:002011-01-13T18:11:17.489-08:00Hasn't been that many years ago and some peopl...Hasn't been that many years ago and some people I know still have these.

Then, again, the internet has brought together an amazing community of bloggers who are some of the nicest people I've ever met. So technology can be a good thing, too! :-)<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095516510953968940.post-60108006846238275892011-01-13T07:49:35.443-08:002011-01-13T07:49:35.443-08:00We had a rotary phone, too, when I was a teenager....We had a rotary phone, too, when I was a teenager. I have to admit, I kind of miss them...the sound of the "spin" when dialing:) And the cord on our kitchen phone would get so tangled and dangle to the floor...from all the stretching, just to get a little privacy!
