My home phone died sometime this week-I couldn't tell you when, I was to self absorb in things that shall remain private BUT I will say-on Thursday I was like wow I haven't met my quota for telemarketer calls this week-so I pick up the cordless and nothing,nadda it was dead-I have a minor freakout session then I search for the corded phone-that hangs up on peeps not because it is possessed but because it is like 70 yrs old...
I plug in the corded phone and it rings-I just stand there staring at it-the corded phone has NO caller ID-I have another minor freakout session as it continues to ring...
My confession for today: If you have been tryin to call me and I haven't answered it's nothing personal okay? Just as soon as I get a new phone WITH caller ID I will again be answerin my phone-until then I am unplugging this fossil and enjoying the quiet
To be tied to a corded phone? How retro! We need a new battery on the cordless, so after about 10 minutes, conversation over!
ReplyDeleteI just saw a picture of a pink corded phone from the 1960s. I immediately pictured that when you were talking about your phone. How fun.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't answer either. Caller ID is essential.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I wish I could just unplug mine. I get so many of those telemarketer calls.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya - no caller ID - no answer the phone! What did we do without it all those years??
ReplyDeleteIt might be Edward...
ReplyDeleteMany parts of Southern Utah looks like the Arizona red. We are at the base of a mountain and have the mountains and the desert red. It seriously is the best of both worlds!!
ReplyDeleteCaller ID is the best. I would do the same exact thing as you are doing. Who knows who it could be on the line?
ReplyDeleteThe telemarketers ring ALL DAY LONG here. Drives me batty!!
ReplyDeleteIm w/ you, its sooo difficult!! Arnt we spoiled!! Your blog is C U T E!!! I love the bows!! I'm gonna go check more of it out!! L A

ReplyDeletehey where in Ok. R U?? Im near Tulsa!! :)
ReplyDeleteDamn Georgie. I tried to call you to ask if you wanted a milllion dollars but you never answered. I was forced to give it to someone else. LOL
ReplyDeleteIn an attempt to save some money I canceled caller id :( Now I just let the answering machine pick up all calls.
ReplyDeleteI never answer my phone unless it is someone I know. My husband picks it up every time without looking and when they ask for me (I'm the one listed) he hands it over. After 3 years, you'd think he'd learn.
ReplyDeleteHe drives me insane!
I think mines been hooked up to the fax for about 2 weeks...which means we might have missed a dentist appt. crap...
ReplyDeleteOh hell no!! I aint pickin up nothing if I cant see who it is. And if it's an 800 number. uh-uh. I aint got no friends with 800 numbers!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I don't blame you! I screen my calls heavily...no way I am picking up that phone without knowing who is on the other end!
ReplyDeletehahahaha! I remember when that happened to me...totally freaky!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW!!! We've all become freaks about caller ID. Even my kids are freaks now.
ReplyDeleteThere was time when caller ID saved my sanity. It's a long story..and worth it's own blog post. But it did. And I love it. Amen.
See the new GNO website midnight tonight!

We sooooo deserve to have YOU #GNO-ing with us! Love the topic or hate it we want lots of both this week!
AND??? how the heck does your blogger comment new thing work and MINE DOESN't????
Just me again. Come visit me, I have something for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you! It takes a special kind of person to answer a phone without caller ID!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I have a coworker (Milton) who does not have caller id on her phone. She picks her phone every time it rings when she's home. All because she doesn't want to pay the small fee it costs to make her digital phone tell her who is on the other end. She scares me sometimes!
ReplyDeleteP.S.
I got my package on Saturday!! Woohoo!! I will blog about it on Tuesday but I thought I should let you know.
Um, so the person I said dirty, crude and disguting things to wasn't you?
ReplyDeleteOoops.
I love the quiet of no phone. I only have a cell phone and it is on silent A LOT! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't been here for awhile - did you change your site, it looks great. But I have the same problem with my internet - now that we live in the middle of nowhere my internet is no longer the trusted BFF that it once was.
ReplyDeleteCID is a wonderful thing!!!
