I remember the dial up phones, and the party lines. Ours was three short rings. You always had to count the rings to know who it was for. And yes, those calls were expensive, especially the long distance ones. You had to get an operator to dial it, and you had to pay more for "person to person". Can't believe I remember all this!!!!Cora from Hidden Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066244776488896258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-90665634917405651572012-06-06T12:04:15.644-07:002012-06-06T12:04:15.644-07:00Janet,

We thought it wonderful also. Now when the phone rings, Ray looks at me and I at him to see who will go and answer..and sometimes we don't even bother..How times change. xxSr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-29115453185725084672012-06-06T05:15:27.982-07:002012-06-06T05:15:27.982-07:00I remember those phones.

My cousin and I were on the same party line, she would call someone, I would pick it up on purpose (she would tell me when she was going to call this person) and we had a three way call, the three of us just chatting away.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-4899113364967249702012-06-05T17:51:24.262-07:002012-06-05T17:51:24.262-07:00I wanted to add Gorges that I downloaded it to the...I wanted to add Gorges that I downloaded it to the Gadget at the very bottom and it came up like that..If anyone else reads this will you let me know if the playlist is hiding the whole right side of my Blog.

But I do remember the dial phones and our family phone etiquette. Dad was always very annoyed if we were on the phone when he wanted to use it. That didn't keep me from talking with my friends every saturday night! I couldn't even imagine having my own cell phone back then! That was Star Trek, not real life. :) Have a wonderful evening tonight!
