    I saw a phone booth 3 years ago in Illinois that had a rotary dial instead of a push button one. It was cool.

    The sun is old, so I avoid looking at it.

    Technology fails though, books don’t need batteries :)

    I wish I had the option to decline the telephone book. They (about 5 different companies publish here) just get dropped in the middle of the driveway, from where they go straight to the recycle bin.

    We need phone booths to change into superhero outfits.

    Jojo will look like his uncle when Jojo is older, at least in face maybe not in body.

    I once worked for a phone book company until they got sued. A private detective had bought an ad in the yellow pages. Everything about the ad was fine, except for one small detail. The phone number was left out.

    Free? Nothing is free, friends. Corporations never give anything away for free.

    Phone books are quite thin these days. If you have two super thick ones though you can layer it together page by page and the friction will keep it together. The friction will be so strong you can’t pull it apart with two cars

    My car is 20 years old, and 225,000 miles. I can not lie. I would like to be keyless and using a backup camera, but love being without a car payment for 17 years. My niece asked me to look around the parking lot, " Do you see that your car is the oldest in this lot?"……Talk about a teachable moment about priorities.

    For a good mechanic try an old phone book. If they pick up you know they’ve been around a while & they’re still in business.

    I remember my Dad telling me they used old catalogs in the outhouse back on the farm when he was growing up

    I wonder if anyone found creative uses for old phone books during the TP shortage several months back

    Clarence, if you want Marcus to finally get a new truck, just see if you can’t get Charlene to agree to no longer fix it for free.

    If Marcus has to pay for repairs, he’ll get a new truck.

    I’d love to still have a phone book. I requested and received the last one printed with white pages for our area. I tossed it after a cat eating episode and still miss the ease of finding a person’s address.

    I haven’t seen anyone drop off a phone book for many years now.

    I use the pages in those to soak up excess grease when I cook fried food. Rip out a bunch of them, put a paper towel on top of the pages, food on the towel, excess grease in the pan gets scraped out when cool enough and wrapped with the pages. Saves on paper towels and gets a use out of the free phone book.

    More small business advertise in the Yellow Pages than have an online presence. Especially if you want those small businesses run by older folks who charge less than modern prices. And good luck trying to look up a friend with whom you’ve lost contact with, these days. Nearly impossible with diminishing land line use.
