I never did figure out the outcome of last week’s strips. Is Lila engaged or not? Playing around while traveling is always more fun with a ring hidden in your purse. ;)
For the record, the term “virtual cloud” when used in computing terms, is redundant. All clouds are virtual computing platforms. It’s like saying “wooden tree” or “watery ocean”.
I still have 2 rotary phones, a black one that is in the hall’s telephone recess. (yes, they used to make an area in a central area – usually a hall -that would hold not only a phone and pad of paper and a couple of pens/pencils, but actually had a shelf underneath the phones table to put your phone book in) and a french provincial that I still use in my bedroom. But then I am an antique myself….lol
When I was a kid we had a crank handle phone in an oak box. When we wanted to make a call we cranked it once and an operator answered and asked us who we wanted, if it was a local call. It was a party line (who remembers them?) with 14 parties on it. Each one had a different ring, e.g. 3 long + 2 short. The phone rang a lot, especially since several of the parties ran boarding houses.

Step 1 use your computer step 2 go to the E-bay cloud step 3 buy a rotary phone and have it shipped to you. step 4 hire someone to wack you with it.
Still need to be computer savvy Lila, sorry.

Starting to feel some empathy with Lila here.

You can at least buy a ring tone that sounds like an old rotary phone.

How to keep a kid from overusing the home phone? Buy a rotary. They are coming back as antique. And then watch as the kid tries to use it. Hilarious.

How about a good old pencil and paper for school supply lists?

I don’t think Lila is engaged. Don’t you think there would have been an announcement in the paper?

Why is Lila upset? The list is taken care of. Why the angst?
