Excellent! That’ll learn her. Very funny.
Microfiction Monday
Nessa´s last blog ..Flash 55 – Buried Secrets
Nessa — I love poetic justice.
Party lines – that’s a blast from the past! Gossip can be entertaining if you’re not the subject of it
jabblog uk´s last blog ..Simple things . . .
Jabblog — I prefer to skip gossip all together — that gives people the option of talking about what a snob I am.
Very funny, Quilly!
Your link at Susan’s goes to last Wedensday’s Haiku . . . you may get fewer visitors for this than otherwise…
southlakesmom´s last blog ..Microfiction Monday
Where is my link at Susan’s? I never even saw Mr. Linky.
Haha, Tuesday is Prince spaghetti night?
Doug´s last blog ..The Reformation of Wolfshausen
Doug — I fear answering that. What is going through my mind probably isn’t what was going through yours. And if it is — shame on you!
THAT’S IT!!
I knew that somewhere there was the *perfect* caption for that face and that phone, and Quilly you got it, that was brilliant. D’oh!
OMG, party lines — my Aunt Doris was the last one in our area to hang on to hers and not switch to a private line, and eventually she was forced to because there was nobody left to ‘party’ with. But my mother had a few stories about the neighbourhood gossips who you *knew* were listening.
Susan — we had a party line and I always hated it. Most of the conversation was spent telling other people the line was busy!
Ooooooo…. party lines… so glad they don’t exist anymore! LOL!
Melli´s last blog ..Snow Fun!
Melli — so am I!
Ooops, an eavesdropper never hears good about themself! LOL
Akelamalu´s last blog ..Friday 55 Flash Fiction #105 Down to Earth….
Ajelamalu – -and sometimes they hear REALLY bad!
I agree with Akelamalu! And the verse, “Be sure your sin will find you out….”
Barbara H.´s last blog ..Book Review: Mrs. Dunwoody’s Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping
Babara — there is much Biblical and poetic justice in this I think.
ha, how embarrassing! spot on
polona´s last blog ..winter valley
Polona — well, if Gwendolyn didn’t want to be em-bare-assed, she should have kept her drawers on! LOL!
Now this was funny, a great way to start the morning with a chuckle. I never thought about a Party Line
Bill´s last blog ..Homeward Bound
Bill — I am glad I gave you a laugh.
so, the plumber and she…? Ha! That was great, Q.
gigi-hawaii´s last blog ..A foodie’s challenge
Gigi — -shhhh, don’t tell anybody ….
ROFLMAO!!! too funny. Snoopy is as snoopy does LOL. Great story Q
Thom´s last blog ..Guess Whose Back?
Thom — just desserts and all that good stuff.
I love it!!! I do remember those party line days!! Great story for the day, Quilly! Have a great week!
Sylvia
Sylvia Kirkwood´s last blog ..That’s My World – The Harbor
You certainly are as creative a writer as one can find on the internet.
Dr John´s last blog ..
Dr John — is that a compliment?
So glad to see Dr. John back! And once again Quilly, this is sadly too true and funny!
southlakesmom´s last blog ..Microfiction Monday
Kelley — Nobody I know would really behave like that!
Oh the talk those party lines caused!
As a kid I remember a neighbor telling me to “quit talking to your little friend at school who you can tell everything to tomorrow, I have an emergency.”
Yeah, 5 minutes later when I grabbed the phone again, she was STILL gossiping.
hope´s last blog ..Microfiction Monday
Hope — I got kicked off the phone a lot so grown ups could gossip.
Oh, this is wonderful. Thanks for inspiring a smile!
Tammie´s last blog ..Eternal Breath
Tammie — I write to entertain. I’m glad it worked.
oh. my. god! Now that was funny… all the way up to imagining it for real! YIKES. Great story Quilly!
The Skald´s last blog ..Stony River’s Microfiction Monday #7
Skald — I am glad I entertained you.
Hahahahahahahaha! The plumber visits here a lot…but I PROMISE, only because we have ancient pipes!
Melissa — hmmm, that’s what Gwendolyn said.
And why would the plumber be visiting on Wednesday? To pick her up for Wednesday night prayer meeting, that’s why. Those nosey neighbors should stay off the line when our friend is on. Or else mind their own business.
Good read, Quilly.
..
Jim´s last blog ..My two Valentines — Ruby (Red) Tuesday — So?
Jim — you’re right! You should set those town’s people straight!
*smirk*
My MIL tells of an aunt who used to listen in when MIL & FIL were courting teenagers.
kcinnova´s last blog ..BUNNYCAM update!
Yep, let her without stones cast the first glasshouse!
John´s last blog ..When to stop flogging a dead horse?
