No, totally different; these were made specifically for the phone. The kind you had to dial.

First you had to connect with Mabel:

Nope, no telephone alcove.

The mouthpiece isn't right, but those switchboards were my first job at the phone co. I loved it !!

This was what my Mom did, when she wasn't living off the system.

Um, I guess the Blood Bank should have told me not to shift my arm, while donating platelets. Looks worse than it feels, but still.

Looks like someone beat the crap out of your arm.

Nope, he got bit by a zombie. He's undead, and his blood is pooling.
Too bad, I liked Stug.

Do you think the little girl got him? He does have a bunch of his own and probably got confused?

Quick, whack him in the head with a shovel just in case!

"Yes sir, we do take calls from Canada. You want me to do what? With my what? That's going to be at least $3.99 a minute."

moreluck is correct, kinda.
I was raised in a early 1930's built home that had that alcove/recess in the hallway for the phone and that was where the phone was hardwired.
We lived in a lower class working class Catholic neighborhood and I remember how beautiful some neighbors converted their alcoves into a shrine.
Most of them had an arched top and they would place a statue of Mary with a votive candle at her feet.
The family Bible was beneath, where the phone book use to be placed.
Thanks, faded jeans.
You rekindled a sweet memory of the times of my youth.

This was the view on Friday at the Christmas tree farm on my route where I always get my tree. I have already picked out next years tree...its the green one with the snow on it.

 

[soberups]

I love pretty sunsets.

No, they had just sat down right before this.

It's a Livestrong bracelet. I've worn one for several years now.

In another thread we were discussing dimensions or something and someone brought up the old chains with the bells on them that UPS used to give to customers so they could stay within the limits. Someone made the comment that they hadn't seen one in years (and nether had I). Well today I was questioning a customer about what the max size was he mentioned he had one of the chains and that they use it all the time.
