Veda and Roberto... Roberto... I ADORE your pank rotary phone. I should have known and have probably even seen it in one of your photos. Perhaps one day I'll even get a chance to see it in person if I'm lucky. Your kitchen makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Veda dear... When I have the space...

Ida and Veda... Ida, that 302 is simply stunning. It will look fabulous next to your bed. Can't wait to test it out in April. Veda, Too true, too true. Here are a few resources to check out. Be careful, like Hoovers, shopping for phones is addictive... www.oldphones.com (The owner is a...

Roberto... I'm pea-green with envy. That looks like so much fun. I'm still a Hoover newbie. Where the heck have I been? I found the perfect phone for your kitchen last night while browsing through some of my favorite NOS vintage phone vendor sites. If Glenda (Greg) hasn't sent a photo to you...

Love Netflix I'm currently taking a break from Netflix, but love it. I've always had the three disk at a time plan. It's easy, convenient and the turn around time is very fast. (I have to add a caveat that I live in a major metropolitan area. I don't know what the turn around time would be in...

Fred S... Congratulations on your "clean up job." It looks fabulous. Hold onto it! The round-button Trimlines are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in MINT condition, which yours appears to be. Personally, I prefer them over the square button models, probably because I grew up with...

Now for what to do about the front panels... Greg, you might check out companies that produce static cling posters/stickers like those used by many mass transit companies. I think you could actually get some really interesting pieces of "art" for a relatively low cost. You could also change the...

Military Training At Bell Telephone Also, according to what I've read about Ma Bell, the phone company was considered an integral part of our national defense system. This makes sense if you think about the fact that it created a seamless communications infrastructure linking and aligning all...

Launderess... Thank you for sharing those fabulous Youtube clips. They were hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed them and got a good laugh out of it too. Mike

Veda, Ida and Minx Stole... Veda, I'm thrilled to learn that you're also fascinated by phones. Phones and vacuums! What's the connection? But, it's funny... I keep discovering that many of us in this group seem to share similar traits and likes/interests. Hmmmm.... I'm still curious to chat...

I spoke with Marty Rocha last night and learned that he's not feeling well. I'm sure you'll join me in wishing him a speedy recovery. Get well soon Mr. Man.

Patrick and Fred N.... Glad you two connected. As I was reading about your experience Patrick, I thought "boy these two need to chat about their days with the telephone company." I'm sure you'll have many interesting and similar stories to share. If you two ever need a ghost writer, I bet...

A parting shot... I owe a big thank you to Terry Lattz, Jeff Parker and Michael Shelley for contributing wonderful additions to my collection (not shown in these photos). I've enjoyed using the beige rotary Trimline from Michael and Jeff quite a bit lately.

Fred and Patrick... Fred, Love the 302; though I don't remember seeing it during my visit. (Can't imagine why with so many toys with which to play. My mind is still reeling.) That photo of Terry at the switchboard cracks me up. Toys, toys and more toys. What fun! Did I mention that I finally...

Western Electric Trimline and Princess Phones Launderess, Do you collect phones? If so, we need to chat. I collect WE Trimline and Princess phones. Rickr, Love the kitchen. That green with the granite counter tops and dark wood cabinets looks fabulous. Love the cuckoo clock too. Reminds me...

Best Wishes for a Fabulous 30th Birthday Charlie, Wishing you a wonderful birthday with lots of pleasant surprises. I even baked a cake. Mike

Proud Papa... Thanks for sharing Jeff. And, congrats on a job well done. Jack and Symmone are such sweet dogs--well behaved and friendly. You and Michael are also lucky they get along so well. Sounds like you, Michael, Tania, Fred and Mike R. had a great weekend of vacuum fun too. Mike

RFLMAO... Between Greg's one liners and the commercial Fred found, I nearly peed my pants I was laughing so hard. I guess I need to get out more... LOL... Thanks guys. M.

Fabulous Finds Gents... Love the bowls, love the apron, love the skillet, love the percolator. Love it all! Robert, that apron brings back memories. My grandmother had a drawer full of crisp, barely used aprons exactly like the one you're wearing. I'm sure my mother threw them all away when...

Congrats! Nice finds Jeff. As everyone has noted above, that floor polisher is MINT. What a deal. The Midwest is looking more and more appealing.

Congrats Greg and Skyler, He's adorable. And, those blue eyes... I've never seen anything like them on a pooch. As I told you on the phone and as Terry wrote above, I think it's awesome how he and Skyler have bonded. It's just darn cute--a boy and his dog. And, I think he'll be a great way of...
