I said goodbye to an old friend today

[Cleo]

I said good by to a land line today.

I've had a land line since I moved out on my own when I was a teenager.

I've had the phone that was hard wired to the wall. Then I thought it was great when they gave us phone jacks. Then just about every type of cordless phone made. For the last five or so years I've had Vonage as my land line service simringing into my cell line and have been using the house cordless phones that were connected to it less and less.

Now with the cell phone plan I'm on I found that I was never using my land line and having two numbers was more hassle then it was worth so today my Vonage number was ported over to my cell phone and disconnected.

This is the first time since I was a teenager that I don't have a land line. It actually seems kind of strange.

I do still have a line going to my alarm system that also carries my dsl but no phones plugged into it although I do have a multifunction printer also plugged into it for those that haven't moved into the 21st century and still use faxes.

I've got a big pile of cordless phones now that I don't know what to do with.
