Reply to comment by yParticle in My wife was just in a minor accident. She's told the police that the man she hit was on his phone and drinking a Coke at the time by Gil-Gandel

Hardly. Most people got rid of them because why pay for a land line when you pay for a cellphone.

Because if you live in hurricane prone Florida and need to call 911 or family, cell service and WiFi goes down when the towers go down. Land lines go through.

Only if the phone lines are buried below ground. If they’re above, they’re just as vulnerable as above ground power or other utility lines.

Yes, agreed. They're buried. Like our chances of ever having a normal governor...

Ooofff. Good ol’ Ronnie DeathSentence. Better you than us. We had to survive eight years of Eagle Scout Scotty Walker, 2010-2018.

"Better you than us"... WHAT? Look, I'm sorry you had Scott Walker. I don't wish Desantis on anyone. That's not the spirit or the answer.

It was said in jest. Don’t be thin-skinned, like a typical MAGAt supporter.

I'm against Desantis. Don't point fingers at my reaction when they were your inconsiderate words. Now that's a "typical MAGAt" reaction.

Our phone provider changed to Voip lines instead of normal land lines. So lights go down, no phone service. Found this out and got rid of the "land line".
