I can't remember the last time I heard a phone that rang. Hey look, Ma, it has a cord too! Since I split my time between the kitchen and everywhere else I decided to get a real wall phone.
We live in a time when we can send a robot to Mars and decode the Human Genome. Why then can't we make a cosmetic case that doesn't break in the first few weeks of use ???
Have a fun weekend
See you next week, same bat time, same bat station.......
You are so funny, Barb! And I totally agree--A real wall phone--it looks retro for sure now! I miss mine--with that long cord that I went all over the place with, twirling the cord around my fingers while yakking away...Enjoy! Hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I LOVE that phone! I used to have a red rotary desk phone. I miss it!
ReplyDeleteIs it a real rotary phone? I went on etsy and bought Bob a black rotary phone for Christmas last year. He has it in his workshop. I love the sound! My cell phone ring is the same as an old rotary phone too, people are always a little surprised when it rings!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh -- don't even get me started on those cosmetic cases! I love your solution, although I have one that the top broke in half, so I can't even put a wrap around it - grrrrr. LOVE LOVE that phone!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooooove the phone. I will have to show this photo to my kids. They have never seen one with a long cord in person. Hard to believe. I do miss how easily I could tuck it against my shoulder and stretch that cord across the room. Oh the memories. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I agree about the makeup cases! ridiculous huh?
ReplyDeleteA red wall phone... every kitchen should have one! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNot only is it a red wall phone it has a rotary dial!!! Where on earth did you find it? I love it. :0) Brings back memories of stretching that cord as far as it would go for one of those essential, private high school conversations - lol!
ReplyDeleteAwesome phone! I hope you have a comfy chair nearby.
ReplyDeleteLove the phone! We had a wall phone in our house, with a short cord and noone would talk on it because you had to stay in one place. LOL
ReplyDeleteThose cosmetic cases really do last a minute.
You always make me laugh!! I love your new phone!! You'll never lose it under a pile of fabrics. They must design cosmetic cases to break so we buy more...
ReplyDeletePs. I just have to add I love how you found a phone that is the same colour as red velvet cake.
ReplyDeleteWow, a real retro phone. I don't think I've even seen one in the stores! Fabulous in red.
ReplyDeleteI had a Yellow wall phone with a 10 foot or 12 foot cord....can't remember now, but I could stretch it from the kitchen to the couch in the family room. Who needed a cell phone...LOL.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the makeup cases - and the makeup itself, too! Mine sits quietly in a drawer, yet somehow I go to use it and it crumbles...and of course it's usually my favorite color too! :) Enjoy the phone - one ring a ding...
ReplyDeleteWe still have our old rotary wall phone. It is tucked away on a closet shelf most of the time. But when we have an extended power failure, that phone lets us communicate with the rest of the world.
ReplyDelete:-D
ReplyDeletetoo funny~!
