Only the geezers on here will remember "Party Lines". Way way before caller id they had party line telephones. My grand mother was on one along with 3-4 other houses. Each phone had a different ring, one ring with a pause before the second, two rings before the second, ect. If you picked up and it was not your call you always got an ear full from your grandmother.:shaking: Life was so much simpler back then.

He is grown and married and has never played atari.

Party lines
 

yes i remember them. My grandparents lived in Hackberry and I practically lived thier every summer. But we had them in Carlyss then also.

Something really important happened in 1977. I graduated from Sulphur high school suprising both my father and myself.

Elvis dies, the space shuttle makes its first flight off the back of a 747, Bohemian Rahpsody by Queen album of the year, Saturday night fever and disco, Star Wars is in theaters, Rocky is the picture of the year, Apple computers go on sale, DOW closed the year at 871, gasoline is $0.65 a gallon.

We had a party line in Baton Rouge when I was very young. I remember being told not to answer the phone.....that was not our ring. My Grandparents had a party line out in the country up in Missouri. After Grandma got finished with the morning breakfast and chores......she would "listen in" to find out what was going on with any of the neighbors.

We move into a new house my Dad had built when I was about 5 yrs old. We then got a 5 digit number [it was 35229] funny how you remember some things.

Next came the Exchange prefixes......ours was Walnut [WA].....so the new number became WA 35229.
