My mother had a rotary phone until about a year ago - we finally got her into the 'pushbutton' age - we also had a "party line" when I was growing up...which meant you shared a phone line with one or two other houses in the area...I used to get in trouble for picking up the phone and listening to this old woman talk to her friend about all her medical problems. My sisters used to get in trouble for hogging the phone lines from the neighbors.Originally posted by All Creatures Great And Small
Dialing a rotary phone - I distinctly remember arguing with my husband when we were first married (in 1983) that we didn't NEED to spend extra on a push button phone and "touch-tone service", just because we were too lazy to dial a number!![]()

We actually have one old rotary phone downstairs that we keep just for the fun of it - it still works, amazingly!![]()
There's some Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck songs I still like to listen to once in a while - what the heck, I'm over 40 (hee hee). Remember this one?: "so I sing you to sleep - after the lovin' " HAHAHAHA what a cheesy song!
Yeah, but sometimes a cheesy song is just what the doctor ordered.
"And I know that my song isn't saying anything new....
but after the lovin, I'm still in love with you"
Personally, I think our world needs more cheesy songs
