"Hello Operator"
"Yes, operator, could I have the correct time please?"
"The correct time is 9:45"
"Thank you!"
click.
Just remembering the old days....
When you could actually pick up something solid
put your finger on a number, dial,
and hear an actual person at the other end!
NO bars to look for -
NO cutting out -
NO push one for more options -
NO "call was lost"!
Just DIAL and TALK period.
Remember when you had a party line?
Our phone was shared with 3 country neighbors,
our number was 4 digits long,
our number was 4 digits long,
our ring was 2 shorts.
If we were using the phone and there was any cutting out,
it meant that someone else picked up and was snooping in!
We would say, "Did you need to use the phone?"
then we'd hear a CLICK.
OHHHH my, how things change!
Text ya later,

"Do you know how to play switch"
"No" said his friend "How do you play?"
"Well", said my BIL, "First you stick a thumb in your mouth, and the other up your a--"
"Then say, switch!"
That was followed by a click, and she never listened in on the phone when my BIL was there!
Later when she would be listening, we all tried it, and all we had to do was ask our caller if they wanted to play "switch" and we would get our privacy.
Have a great day!
We had Myrtle, and she was the town busybody. Talk about rude, once she even asked me to speak up when I was talking to someone because she hadn't heard what I said. I like the 'switch' game, lol.
Oh, I'd love for you to come and weed in my garden, heck we can forget weeds, just bring the wine!!
I have to admit that I still don't carry a cell phone. I own one, but use it only when traveling or "On Call" for work. Texting....no way! I can't stand it.
