Well, they think I'm weird anyway, but even weirder for not having a cell.
From one weirdling to another: good one on ya!
I don't like any cordless phone. To be more honest I don't like telephones in general. I think they invade my privacy. If you want to talk to me, come to my house. Of course, I appreciate the difficulty since I am thousands of miles away from many of my friends. I prefer writing letters.
But I do have a phone I like. It is a 1920s refurbished Belgian cradle phone with a rotary dial. I got it for my wife several years ago but she treats it as home decor because it distorts voices to sound like long distance bad connections. I like that! Easier on the nerves. When the power goes out during snowstorms, I'm the only one in my area who can make phone calls because my phone isn't connected to the power grid. Now, if I could just disconnect the bell...
