I have a wonderful use for the phone, an alarm clock that plays beautiful melody.For most times, I let it ring and screen my calls. There is a caller ID which is a very nice feature. This is the one of gizmo that I might say a necessity in a household equipped with an answer machine pre-recorded voice.I had so much fun when I first installed this machine. It was a surprise to my sisters that I finally starting to blend in. Beings sisters, they are nosey, called me and left messages.Sister #4 – what is your name, you manly voice. Who am I phoning here? (laughter in the background)Sister #6 – You are hiding a man in your house (more laughter)Sister #5 – I like your answering machine. It’s very nice.Back in the Philippines, we had party lines. I used to entertain them on the phone just because I was being naughty. One party line became so enamoured with my voice. Pretty scary because he came all the way to my place and left me a gift at our door step.
That was the end of my relationship with a phone pal when Mother found out. Grounded, I am no longer to use the phone.This is in response to Daily Prompt: Phone. Come and join us, it’s fun.A request to the readers: No pingback please unless you have actually read, left a comment or liked this post. Thank you for your consideration.
Aren’t sibling just the “best?!” (Just a wee bit of sarcasm there.) And I only have one… can’t imagine having more than that to make my life even more of an adventure.
Retirement is boring. I’ve been semi-retired for seven years and find it hard to stay away from working. I can however, stay away from my phone. I tend to leave the service to answer it most days.
Hahaha! You naughty girl!! Lol hugs from Oz….Paula xx
TeeHee, girls just wanna have fun. 😆

Isn’t, eh.
I just LOVE caller ID! I can’t live without it … Answering machines are cool too! 🙂
The best invention ever is the caller ID and answering machines. No need to answer the phone.

Phone calls can wait, that’s why we have answering machines.
Retired in 2006. No more alarm clocks, forever.
Between you and Kate Crimms, I am so jealous. I might just have to join you all and take early retirement. Now work beckons.
