rotary telephones?

[Catsnclay]

Growing up our phone number was JE7-xxxx, and we had a bright yellow rotary in the kitchen with a very long cord.

Then in my teenage years I had a pink Princess phone

My father STILL has an old rotary phone in the TV room. Several years ago I got him a cordless phone for the kitchen, he uses it, but doesn't take it out of the kitchen

I also bought him a thinner, lighter, smaller answering machine - which he STILL doesn't know how to use - and discarded his brick of a answering machine (that old thing weighed a ton, and took up SO much space!)

its tough getting your parents into the 21st century!

We will have a bright red rotary phone in the house. Our cordless phones went out last month so we plugged it in. Kinda scared the cats when it rang. They are used to the more modern beeps and trills and songs.

I know what you mean. The first time it rang it scared Nikki & Daisy and sent them running!
