Extra Credit Question:

Just for Fun:
What was the first type of phone you remember having in your home ?
Driving issues? Yeah. I dont turn down the radio while looking for an address, I keep on playing. Like silence going to make a difference. I turn it on from the time I leave point A till I get to point B. Silence would make me crazy.
We dont have any strange neighbours, out here. Everyone pretty much covers each others' backs and we live in an area where we leave the back sliding door open a bit all day, whether we're home or not for the dog to get in and out to do her business. Heck, sometimes we leave our front door open with the screen unlocked, and have never been bothered. (Can ya do that in L.A.??)
I remember that big ol black phone. There were no colour choices back then, the rotary dial.
What was the last meeting you went to ? Church Council last Wednesday night.
Did they served snacks ? Nope. but we did discuss the cake for our upcoming 150th anniversary.
Bonus Question:

(for example: Turning down the radio if your looking for a specific address) None that I am aware of. I probably do, but they don't seem unusual to me.
Extra Credit Question:
Do you have any unique,strange or wacky neighbors that we would love hearing about ? I don't, but I know for a fact that my neighbors do.
Just for Fun:
What was the first type of phone you remember having in your home ? Wooden box on the wall with a separate earpiece on one side and a crank on the other. Our number was 26-4. If you wanted to call anyone not n your party line, you had to "ring" the operator. I told you in that other thread I was older than dirt.

I usually let the vehicles rear-end hang out around a corner during the winter. DW hates it with a passion, kids love it.

Not here. Had one in Maine that built a 10' tall fence with old store shelves and cardboard, then blamed the local TV news crews of stealing his land in Canada on a big sign tacked to his gate by the road. Neighbor across the road at the same location has a small hobby farm with ducks, goats, cows, and pigs. Whenever one would get out of the fence he would just shoot it and yell. I was SOOOOO glad to get out of that freaky-deaky location. My house was nice and in a nice location 95 acres right on the river but the fruit loops down the road made it hard to enjoy.

What was the first type of phone you remember having in your home ?
rotary dial, desk type with a cord about 2" long it seemed on a party line. We were styling when Mom and Dad moved up and spent the big bucks for a wall phone with a 25' cord
Now I wander all over the 1/2 acre yard I have in town with a cordless digital phone that sounds better than those old corded ones did. Not to mention the cell phones we have, doesn't seem right the changes made in such a short time.

1743 - It was the first London performance of Handel’s "Messiah", and King George II was in the audience. In the middle of the "Hallelujah Chorus, the King rose to his feet in appreciation of the great piece! The entire audience followed suit out of respect for the King. And so began the custom of standing during the singing of the "Hallelujah Chorus".
1839 - 1st recorded use of "OK" [oll korrect] (Boston's Morning Post)
1912 - Dixie Cup invented
1929 - 1st telephone installed in White House
