By the way

...Sunday

Not including cell phones, how many working telephones do you have in your home?

Five. Which is crazy. When we moved into this house we mostly had mobile/cordless phones. Those don't work if the electricity (but not phone service) goes out. And there was an issue about testing our own phone line when we lost phone service, which apparently requires a corded phone as well.

Then, for some reason Beast felt we needed a two-line phone with speakers and all kinds of other whistles and bells for the office, even though we only have one line into the house and it takes a 50-page manual to learn how to do anything at all with this phone; all I can do is answer it. I can't even dial out on it...
...sigh.

Got any really old phones that you still use?

The other corded phone, which lives on Beast's nightstand, is also a clock radio. It's not ancient, but it's older than Sparky, who is 13 (if I keep telling people that, eventually I'll believe it!).

Are you planning on going completely cellular and ridding yourself of landlines?

Nope. I see the logic, but we have crappy cell service where we live (which tells you just how far out in the boonies we live!). It wouldn't really be sensible. Not yet, at least.
