[QUOTE="DDD, post: 474426, member: 35"] Just for your amustement Buddy (and other younger family members) my intro to phones was in a small Wisconsin town where the #'s were based on when you signed up. My Mother's family was chapped off and continued to be chapped off for a loonngg time because the X family got to be #1 and they had to be #2. As a little girl in the 1940's I used my Grandma's phone. Honestly...not exaggeration (and I like to exaggerate funny stories, lol) I picked up the phone and a lady said "telephone company how can I help you?" I replied "I want to speak to my Aunt Zoe please". She responded "are you the Y's cute little daughter with pigtails?" "Yes, Maam I have pigtails." "You're from Fla. aren't you?" "Yes, Maam I am." She said "well, honey, your Aunt Zoe isn't home now. I saw her car parked outside the drug store around the corner from your Grandma's." Makes me smile to remember. Then...progress, lol. Back home in sophisticated Florida we had identification zone abbreviations plus four numbers! When you made a new friend and they said call me at 8888 you always had to reply with "are you HIG or GRA?" Yep that was the way it was before we went to seven numbers and later to area codes plus seven numbers. Guess it makes sense that the "new fangled" cell phones would be a challenge. LOL Since I have raised teen gs's with difficult child in front of their name I quickly became aware of modern trends. In fact I was one of the first to get a cell phone in our community with the walkie/talkie feature. (Can't remember what to heck it's called, lol.) My much loved difficult child#1 thought it was awesome that he could talk with friends after I was allegedly sound assleep. Not! I have very sensitive ears and when I heard a beep noise I was out of my bed, in his room and confiscating the phone. I'm sure I'll adapt to the new phone and I really appreciate easy child SD offering me the chance to join 2011. DDD [/QUOTE]
