Yup...never had to call myself to find my phone.

When I as a little kid back in the early 60's I lived in northern Quebec for a few years - no phone at all, no TV and one intermittent radio station. Kids today couldn't survive it....

When someone was on the phone for awhile and you asked them nicely to use it and told them they could have it right back and didn't give it up thats when the phone was set in front of a speaker for some loud rock and roll.

In my house ....
If someone was on the phone too long ,,and another person (other than my parents)
Wanted it and didn't get it .... Well !!! The fists would fly ...
My brother beat the crAp out of all of us ... for the phone and sometimes just for the fun of it
BIG BULLY ---- today we laugh about many things from back then

I had a similar problem as the middle child:I did have a meaner,older brother ,that didn't agree with my personality type.He is 3 years older, & was tough on my until I hit 14.I pounded the feces out of him in front of his GF.I was never disrespected by him again.That will happen when a 14 year old spanks a 17 year old.We have been tight ever since.
P.S...I can really kick his ass now.lol.

if you tell the phone company that you only use that phone for emergencies you can get a cheaper rate, they will check your use
