Also, our old 7 year Trax phone with over 3,000 accumulated minutes is an embarassment to our younger relatives with their fancy I phones and pads.

Culture clash.

I'm so old fashioned I remember a time when people only made a telephone call when there was a reason.

BOL!

We now turn on our 7 year old Trash phone, as one of my younger relatives calls it, when we go some place. In fact, sometimes my wife informs each younger relative that we are going out with and our Trash Phone is on.

We got tired of getting asked why our cell phone wasn’t on.

If we get no calls on our trip, my wife calls up each younger relative and tells them. That, we arrived safely, and apparently they don’t love us anymore as we didn’t get a call from them.

We'd have to pick up the receiver to make sure someone wasn't already on the party line. If you got a dial tone, you could push the switchhook three times and an operator would come on the line.
