Right on Gator - if time to yourself is as important as it is to me, you would turn off all your phones. Very nice puzzle Katherine.

I knew some phones were made special to do that but didn't realize all phones did this.

ah yes
the incredible floating receiver
haha

LOL, Bugaboo.

Fun solve, Katherine.

only problem with that Katherine; was that terrible noise the phone would emit (i once hid it in my sock drawer)
Great puzzle, brought back mems :)

Excellent. Anybody remember party lines?

I sure do and I remember when my Grandma had one of those phones like on Petticoat Junction where you had to talk to the operator to make the call!

oh yeah... i had no dial even and could listen to others talk :D

And phone numbers began with a prefix of the first two letters of a work, like SYcamore3-4567. Remember the Glenn Miller song called PEnnsylvania 6-5000? You could tell what neighborhood people lived in by the prefix.

:-)

i saw that phone once, when visiting my aunt in penn.
unlike you JoDeen, i was a good boy :D

what great memories. party line -- I was out of town and trying to call my mom because my friend was in an accident. I kept picking up the phone to see if the line was clear. There were 2 teenagers talking and they knew someone was on the line but the girl blamed it on her little brother and would yell at him. I'm sure he pleaded innocent but his sister probably never believed him.

Unplugging the phone works too.
