Who even has a home phone anymore? - the nubbyphone Jan 4, 11:07 31
- I do. It's a digital cable phone, though, not a telco phone. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 11:15
- the same people who force Mojave Meg to send hard copy newsletters. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 11:14
- I use my landline to locate my cell phone about once a week. -- nm - Max Jan 4, 11:13 1
  - bzzzzt. use "phonemyphone.com" and get a separate google number for phone spam. I just saved you $15 a month. (my cut is 50%.) -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 4, 11:20
- pretty sure every member of my immediate family still does, to start. (emergency reasons alone will keep a lot of us with them.)-- nm - b. Jan 4, 11:12
- I do. -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 4, 11:12
- my mom, but there's not much point to a mobile in dawson city. -- nm - mafic Jan 4, 11:11 2
  - *snicker* -- nm - the nubbyphone Jan 4, 11:13 1
    - I only add "city" for you folks. normally I just call it "dawson," but that'd cause even more confusion. -- nm - mafic Jan 4, 11:18
- My mom does, which I'm actually glad about. Cell phone reception is bad in her apt for some reason. -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 11:11 1
  - maybe because of all the tin foil she has stuffed in the walls to keep the aliens from probing her -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 11:31
- I'll likely be one of the last holdouts on this. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 11:10 7

    - Er... I mean that I too will be a holdout. -- nm - Spawn: *The* Blood Feud Champion Jan 4, 11:12 5
      - Well, wait, I think nubby meant land lines -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 11:12 4
        
        er, yes? - Reagen Jan 4, 11:14 2
        
        as opposed to digital. I'm never clear when I type and eat at the same time. -- nm - the nubbyphone Jan 4, 11:19
        
        Hm. I guess I don't consider UVerse a "land line" in the sense that AT&T means (old phone system). -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 11:19
        
        yeah, thought that was obvious? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 4, 11:13
- *raises hand -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 11:10
- With free long distance. Thank you AT&T U-verse! -- nm - Spawn: *The* Blood Feud Champion Jan 4, 11:09
- killing mine on Friday. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 11:09
- *raises hand* For $10 a month, it's worth it. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 4, 11:09 7
  - i actually hate it. i hate the sound of it ringing. i hate when it rings too early, or after Jacen's bedtime. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 11:10 6
    - I turned my ringer off over a year ago. -- nm - decline Jan 4, 11:14
    - yeah. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 4, 11:13
    - Hmm. We don't get those calls. Maybe one of each in the last year. -- nm - Spawn: *The* Blood Feud Champion Jan 4, 11:11 3
      - My own parents fail at remembering, despite my repeated explanations. - TFox Jan 4, 11:13 2
        
        When did he lose the set naptime? Andrew still (more or less) has one- between 12:30-1:00 every day, of course he doesn't always go to sleep though. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 4, 11:14 1
        
        Just in the last few weeks, he's started to eschew it. And he has sucked at staying in bed through the night again. - TFox Jan 4, 11:16
- We do, unfortunately. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 4, 11:08
