My 96 year old grandmother still has and still uses her desktop rotary phone... Its super heavy, and pale green.. I love the way it sounds as she 'dials' the numbers.. Ive been searching for one for my house.. But she will not give it up..
I learned on a standard, Hated it and scared me to death but once you learn stick shift it does become soooo much easier with a lil practice.... After I had my lil one, I went automatic.. Figured Id need that extra hand to pick up a dropped binky or bottle.. Yea, Ill stick to automatic..
