Sounds like a wonderful birthday present you have provided there Cat! I 'specially loved the part about the bacon. It was very wise of you to NOT LET Darlene anywhere near the frying bacon with her plastic fork!!!

In order to use a corded phone you have to have a "live wire." This means that you have to be paying the local phone company for service that you probably are not using unless your cell phone is a secondary means of communication.
