Although the excuse would be that he needs it in case of emergency, which he hasn't had in the past 5 years.

This isn't true. He called us the one day the bus got to school and there was a water main break and they turned the busses around and went home. He also called us a few months ago because he forgot his key and the garage door wouldn't open so he was locked outside.

I'll have to see if Fredericksburg has anything like that. We'll be there Saturday as Mrs. FT wants to go to the Christmas Craft show at the convention center and then we may go to the Christmas Parade through downtown.

Mrs. FT told me I may need to go to the grocery store tonight to get food for tomorrow for FT JR and us because of the snow coming. We're getting at most an inch in King George.

Not an emergency. Either is the other really, he can hang out in the back yard.

I don't know how I ever managed to get through my childhood with nothing but land lines and pay phones.

Get him a $20 tracphone with 100 minutes. He will live. No reason why he needs a smartphone with all the bells and whistles.

How would he play Candy Crunch or Road Blocks?

People still have land lines? Even my MIL doesn't have a land line at her house anymore.

How about calling from the school office? If he is not at school, then it begs the question: what did you do as a kid without a cell phone? He can do that.

My parents still have one though if they move in the next year like they are talking about, they will get rid of it then.

Saraste · 12-04-2025, 09:36 AM

Supposed to be in the low to mid 80's for the next few days with lows in the mid to upper 60's. That alone tells me it will continue to be humid af.

We still have a landline, just because Comcast has a bundle where it is cheaper to have it than get rid of it.

I think it has had a call twice in 12 years.
