| Hah, sure did bring back memories. I remember the new telephones that
came out. The tall ones with the big ear piece that seemed like it
weighed 5 lbs. Back in those days, the kids in our family were not
allowed to use the phone. I had never answered a telephone, and I
remember my Mom was in bed, she had my brother, Mar. 26,1932. Her sister
and bil were in NY and there was a blizzard and could not get home. My
grandmother lived across the street from us. My Mom told me to answer
the phone, I remember climbing up on a chair to reach the phone which
was on a serving table in the dining room.I did not understand one thing
they said, so of course no one got the message. I was suppose to tell
my grandmother that they would not be home due to the storm. They were
upset with me, and especially my grandmother. Wasn't my fault, bet the
connections were not good back then. I was wasn't quite 5 years old yet.
My dad had to have aphone cause he was on the police force. no one else
on our block had one yet. I even remember our number, 3 digits, 716. Was
many years later when they added WA7,Then finally to 927 and 4 numbers.
BTW. I am so happy, my web has been really acting up. All day yesterday
and today, it was jumping all over the place, I would start writing an
e-mail and all of a sudden an e-mail card would come on from my
favorites, or the pip tv would come on, then could not get the letterrs
I typed. was so bad, I had to give up. Is working right now, but very
slow. Guess it is time for a new one, this is my first one and never any
real problems. Maybe it was the weather here, Hope everyone is well, and
pray no one is having any real health problems. |
