assuming you have a computer , landline, other phone, etc., And can't find your cellphoneIt's a sad day in America ,old man...I ain't too far behind you !
Your first instinct becomes distrust as in any stranger is more of a potential threat than a potential friend !

I don't know anybody that still has a landline, that's quickly going the way of payphones , 8 track tape players, typewriters, and WW2 veterans.
The only reason I'd even consider having a landline would be for a fax machine, which is pretty ancient technology
I see no real reason to have a landline, if I did have one, it would have to be a rotary dial model or the Oliver Wendal Douglas model where you have to climb a telephone pole to make a call.

The concept of Heaven/ Hell may well motivate some weaker minded folks to be good people and tend to steer them in the proper direction, but the Bible itself is a bunch or hearsay BS.
If religion/ church/Temple or whatever is the crutch you require to get through your day, that's fine and dandy clearly better than heroin or other such evil things.

Well double play, you have the right to
keep the old landline, you're a senior not a millennial, old habits die hard.
However few younger people actually have a landline.
If it was included in some package deal with internet/ TV/ phone service, I likely wouldn't even go and buy an old fashioned phone, I don't try to be trendy but a landline is so Fred Flintstone !
A landline is just so redundant when you have a smartphone that has unlimited minutes, text, and data, you don't even need a computer anymore !, And it costs $30, that's what I'm posting from a ,$30 phone, I just bought a laptop for black Friday ( is that racist ? ).
DP, I'm older and resist change, it's most frequently for the worse, but you have to adjust to the times.
If I ever got a landline it would be a bit of nostalgia, like a 60's rotary dial thing , or even better the real old contraption where you have a wall mounted unit and pick up a cord to speak into a microphone of sorts !
How old are you anyway Double Play ?
