I'll Get It!

So many days I tried in vain to be caller 1 to the local radio show trying to win concert tickets.  ::shakes fist in the air::

Gloria - We still say something similar, but we say "you get it." We still have a land line, but the phone is in the kitchen. So if we are in the family room, someone has to go get the phone when it rings.

Yes those were the days of be corded and tied to one spot.  We have come a long ways baby as they say.

Good morning Doug and Gloria. I remember those days as well. Nice flashback.

LOL that brought back memories!  There were 8 kids in my family so we heard that a lot - everybody racing for the phone!  I'll get it!

I remember those words, "I'll get it," also!  Only we were all on one floor, with a single phone.

Oh Gloria what a great picture and it sure brings back wonderful memories of days gone by

I remember those days, I even remember our first phone number which was expressed using letters and numbers when I lived in England.

Oh, the old rotary phone was so much fun! I don't think I every dialed the wrong number either. But then again, as a kid, it was a privilege to dial the phone or receive a call. Those times were rare. I can still hear the sound of the rotary dial.... and the brrring, brrring, brrring, too!

What a lovely memory!

The rotary dial phone and the party line served our country well for close to fifty years Gloria Todor. Sometimes I miss the old days
