Back in the day, we would rush to answer our phone, commonly now known as landlines, because those were the only phones we had, and way back in the day, we didn't have answering machines. Duh, you knew that. I do have a landline but the answering machine is turned off and in case there's an emergency, I can call out, and folks can call in. Otherwise, use my cell.

I was thinking of this today because somebody rang my doorbell three times. The person would wait 30 seconds between each ring. Maybe he saw my car in the driveway and assumed I was home. Perhaps I was using the toilet or taking a showe
