I don't know why my mother and stepfather had a phone unless it was in case of an emergency that never happened. They had no friends and didn't want any.I was very young, too, when there were party lines.
What a funny thing, huh? How many would like a party line today? lol!
With a party line, you had to wait for the other party to hang up before you could use the phone.
Sometimes you'd have to ask the other party to hang up, so that you could make your call.
Don't know when they did away with them ... but I think it was a good idea!
Note: I think we do sort of still have party lines today ...
as our calls can apparently be monitored by the government, law enforcement, etc ...
but at least it's not our nextdoor neighbor listening to our conversations.
(Least I don't think so!?? lol!)
