Now for the 50th Millionth time, PLEASE get a Mobile phone.. it will make your life so much easier.
Not everyone can get cell service where they live. I can't.
Do you participate in any fed program, wic, snap, medicare, tribal-tanf, SSI? If so, you can get a free phone.
LOL.. well I know Deb knows we don't mean any harm... we're all her friends here and just trying to ensure that she has everything she needs to make her life a little easier....WHY do you bother HD?!
Deb, it's a good thing it was resolved quickly.
Today, you need a mobile phone. It's not1955, when a party line was all you needed. It's today, and you absolutely need a mobile phone for convenience, for your personal safety, and for emergencies- both at home and away. If you can afford cable/TV/internet, you can certainly afford a mobile phone.when you lived in the last house and there was problems galore with it.. we nagged you, cajoled, and begged you to sell and move into a home which would be more manageable for you.. which would make your life a little easier...

A cheap mobile not connected to any contract so no need for any direct debit payments.. with a PAYG sim card... will really help you . It's the easiest thing to set up.. a phone for a few dollars, and a £10 dollar sim card which will probably last you for years..
I'm a little north of Murrmurr and they upgraded our service too. Ours was out about 5 hours but of course, ours didn't come back on. Our house phone is also through the cable co., so I get into a tedious texting-back-and-forth session with the cable co. on my cell phone. And of course, the first thing they tell me is to unplug the modem/router and plug it back in. I tell 'em I've already tried that, about six times. Oh, they say, okay we're gonna have to send a tech out, we can get 1 out there in a couple of days. Sigh. So the evening before the tech was finally gonna come, I tried unplugging and replugging one more time and then it was back up. So I think that something that got switched off for the upgrade didn't get switched back on until somebody finally noticed; 1 of their techs told me a few years ago that that was exactly what happens sometimes.
we've been telling Deb that for years !
Deb..what are you going to do if you break down miles from home, it's raining or it's snowing, or it's just too far to walk, how are you going to call for help ?
You have a lot of good points, Timewise 60+.
Sorry Deb……there’s s some people that are too pushy.
Deb did post to explain about using a cell phones is like beating dead horse. She might even be amazed that dropping land line service and applying that amount to cell phone & having her land line number changed to the cell would be super convenient.
I think she meant that asking her to get a cell phone is like beating a dead horse... but she said the same about selling the last house ..lol... and look what happened.
...we got her into that house by beating her with our imaginary stick, and you'll notice she's not even made us a cuppa tea
