I eventually tried to take som photos on the day we made soup on the picket line fire barrel...but I can't figure out how to get them off the phone.<BR/>I think it'll be a whole before I actually get one for myself. I had an old one many years ago when there were no options, and it would never work when I actually neded it, so I've never replaced it.<BR/>As for texting...I can text people's phones from my computer, but from another phone? No clue...:)Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-43271623451977441152008-02-24T07:34:00.000-07:002008-02-24T07:34:00.000-07:00Javachick - I was always fascinated by the party l...Javachick - I was always fascinated by the party line phone at the farm! And I miss real letters, too.<BR/><BR/>dfLeah - I know YOU never listened in on other people's conversatons, but I remember you showing me how to use the party line phone!<BR/>Cell phones are terrific for emergencies. And are handy when the Cowboy is gone for such long stretches. Don't know that I will ever NEED to know how to text, though. And the camera?

I suppose at some point we'll have to drag ourselves kicking and screaming into the 1990s. We are currently still tickled that we've got an answering machine.Leah J.

And it was a known fact that a certain neighbor liked to listen in on other people's conversations. It was a big deal when we got our own line.<BR/><BR/>I miss real letters! I used to be a big letter writer, and I was always so happy to get a letter in the mail. While I appreciate the speed of e-mail, it was nice to look forward to something other than bills in the mail.JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-58233154942935902622008-02-23T22:41:00.000-07:002008-02-23T22:41:00.000-07:00javachick - the Bag Lady can remember a time when ...javachick - the Bag Lady can remember a time when phones were attached to the wall, had a rotary dial, and you could actually talk to a real, live operator! And cousin Leah can probably tell you all about listening in on your party line neighbours out in the country...<BR/>And the only mail we got was written on paper, put in envelopes and delivered to your house by a person on foot, rather than electronically! She knows that still happens, but it's usually correspondence from some large corporation, wanting money...<BR/><BR/>Perhaps that goes a long way to explaining why the Bag Lady is having so much difficulty learning how to send text messages!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-58031015595597995502008-02-23T20:35:00.000-07:002008-02-23T20:35:00.000-07:00I have faith in you, you will figure it out!Does i...I have faith in you, you will figure it out!<BR/>Does it make you wonder what happened to the good old days when phones were for speaking and email was for sending text?JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-65457567867434160562008-02-23T15:36:00.000-07:002008-02-23T15:36:00.000-07:00Reb - how hard can it be?!

It was pining over its lost buddy out in the field. You should have never told it about that unfortunate tractor accident. Had your phone asked why its partner looked so listless, all you had to say was that it was "tired." It wouldn't have been a lie. ;)<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy your new techno-phone!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
