Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for June 13, 2015

Does this comic take place in the 80’s?

Geocaching? Darby must have a new hobby.

Who still uses answering machines?

I still have an answering machine. I am not owned by all the latest gadgets.

Yep, I have an answering machine as well. Since I am on the board of my condo association, I occasionally get calls about building issues. I prefer having the blinking light alert me when I get home, than to have to answer on my mobile when I am out and about.

i know at least one person with an old school answering machine. he refuses to have a cell phone. of course, he also has a computer & a very active life on-line. i do like contradictory people. never dull

Like many people today, I also have a cell phone plus an answering machine on my land line. I’m the one that pays for phone service, so I use it for MY convenience — not necessarily the convenience of the caller.Fewer than a dozen people have my cell phone number — I carry it so I can make calls when I need to, not so that everyone and their brother can call me 24/7.I use the answering machine to record incoming calls when I’m out — and I get to decide when and if to return the call.Hermit and curmudgeon? Nope, just someone who doesn’t need to be communicating with everybody else every minute of every day.

My answering device is in my landline phone. The top of the receiver blinks

when I have messages. I have a dumb cell phone that occasionally gets used. Wouldn’t want to be without a landline and an answerer. The older we get, the more we need the reliability.

Without the Ringing in my Ears, I wouldn’t know to Answer those Voices.

I have not only an answering machine but also a land line CORDED phone and a regular cell phone as well as a tube tv

One better: Not only do I have a landline telephone with an answering machine, but the voice mail on my cell phone is turned off. The no-answer forwarding sends cell calls to my home phone after five rings, so the only thing I have to check is the answering machine.

Another advantage that I have thankfully not had to use recently is being able to check whether my house has lost power while away/evacuated. Just call the home phone and see if the answering machine picks up.
