Stevie Russ's Profile

STMASON you are correct, restating your conclusion, an "old school phone" is the type of phone I have (along with a cell phone), and it was quite helpful.

Thanks for filling in the blank I left.

One thing - I was living in an apartment community during one of the recent "black outs" around the country when a couple of days in, while everyone else was doing without telephone services (and all other electrical services.) I sat quietly inside my apartment calling various friends who were not effected by the outage and was happily calling various agencies to see where we were in getting our power back on.

There were no cell phones which were working. We all spent time outside talking about our situation. And all I spoke to stated they only had cell phones and of that group all reported their cell phones were dead.

So until I can get reliable input from someone who know that landlines are not more helpful in times of black outs (which have been going up in recent history) Do not plan to get rid of my landlline.

Mist upholstered furniture with cheap vodka.

Also great for removing mildew sent after "flood" in basement.

You are welcome.
