I am grateful to still have my landline . . . have misplaced two tracphones in the last year that were supposed to be used for emergencies. You can’t find anyone in the phone book anymore. I think it was on purpose. I used it to contact people, send cards, etc. Don’t twitter, tweet, facebook, etc. and I manage.
I still have only a land line. I sit on the end of the couch...all cozy...and we talk and talk and that’s the way we like it.
