I still have a land line. I live in a very residential area...people always around. My kids scream to get a cell phone for emergencies. I keep telling them...if something happens...someone will make a call....they're not going to kick me and say...hey you...got a cell phone?? lol

Born in 1944. Yup...played together...had to get home when the street lights went on.

"I still have a land line."

I had a landline as well as the cell until this past May. Got rid of Spectrum cable, the phone, and just kept internet for streaming. All I ever got on the landline were spam calls, so I turned the ringer off years ago, and rarely used it. I only kept it because it was bundled with cable and internet, and figured I'd have to pay more for the other two if I got rid of it. When I cancelled everything but the internet, the guy from Spectrum told me my bill would have been cheaper had I gotten rid of it long ago.

"...had to get home when the street lights went on."

Same here. Back in the old days, my mother made us wear leggings when we went outdoors to play in the winter. Remember leggings? Nobody wears them anymore unless they're skiing or snowmobiling, I guess.
