Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for February 22, 2025

I’d be creeped out sitting under that tree—fearing tat those twining branches would grab me by the throat!!

If they were smarter than we are they wouldn’t let us leave them in the house when we take off.

Paramedics did, eventually, get her finger unstuck from the dial.

How does Lily Tomlin feel about it? (“One ringy dingy…two ringy dingy…”)

Good thing she doesn’t own a robot vacuum cleaner.

When I was a kid we got all excited when we got a push button phone!!!

Still using my orange rotary phone. Hasn’t needed an update in 60 years!

Love the old phones!

Bring them B. A. C. K. !

I think I saw one of those rotary phones in a Museum

I still have our old phone that is square and had the mouth part you speak into on it and you hold the other part to your ear. I did have the dial on it. I found others just like it with out the dial. This one still works. I also remember when the first Princess phone come on the market.

Thinking back a great break thru came when the cordless phone with the pull out antenna came out. I was on call quite a bit and with these I could be out side doing things and not have to worry about missing a call. That was the last big up grade that I remember prior to the life changing cell phone.

That could be the subject of a new TV series, are you smarter than a cellphone?

That was late 2023.

Experience with my phone has taught me that it is not smarter than I am!
