Quoting Shawn Highfield to Dave Drum <=-

We cancelled our land line back when the kids still lived here.
Next day I cancelled it and added a LD package to my cell.

IMO it seems like a waste of money to have two phones with two bills
to pay and cell phones do so many other useful things that the
choice is obvious. The only people I know who still have land lines
are over eighty and don't get out of the house much, like Roslind's
mom before she passed away.

A leftover from when I was researching traditional Yorkshire fare.
(My paternal grandparents were from there.)

Well we do satisfy your "only eighty" crowd, but we have never had a
full service cell phone. We both have flip phones that we only use in
rare occasions. Mine lives in the car, Gail's in her purse. The cost
for both is less than $200 per year (maybe < $150, not sure). We got
one of them decades ago when we had a road break down and could not call
AAA. I would use mine when I was working in Virginia after I retired
and got out a bit late, hence hitting heavy traffic. Sometimes to call
from the store to see if there is anything else she needs. Since the
minutes roll over, I have about 3600 minutes on it at present.

Lately, we have been making something similar with yogurt vs. sour
cream. I think that is even better. For a sweeter dish, use whipped
cream or dream whip.

I'm not over 80 (yet) and I work a job outside the home. AND I have
both a cell (which costs me U$15/month) and a land-line phone - for very
good reasons which I have stated here before. Yout mileage obviously
varies. And there is not finite data plan on my land line. Bv)=

Quoting Dale Shipp to Jim Weller <=-

cell phones do so many other useful things

I have unlimited minutes, including unlimited Canadian long
distance and more data than I could ever use for $40 a month.
Plus I can text and do email. And I no longer need a watch, alarm
clock, timer, calendar, day timer, notepad, GPS, still or video
cameras, or a lap top.

I've added a handful of free apps that are useful in real estate: a
flashlight, compass, level, mortgage payment calculator. And I can
tap into the corporate registry registrations, land title office
records, city property tax roll and the Canadian Land Survey
Registry full of survey plans where I maintain accounts as well as
our own server's database of all our past sales from 1984 anywhere,
anytime.

1 have about 3600 minutes on it at present.

During Covid when Roslind did telephone counselling rather than face
to face sessions, she would use that much in 10 days. It would
last me 2 months though.

Title: Dump Fruit Salad
1 c Mandarin oranges, drained
1 c Pineapple chunks, drained
1 c Flaked coconut (optional)

I'm with you so far.

2 c Minature marshmallows
1 c Sour cream (high quality)
1 tb Sugar
6 Maraschino cherries

But mine has bananas, orange and pineapple juice with rum or a fruit
liqueur such as Triple Sec for the dressing, and fresh cherries in
season.
