Thank you for this info; seems more and more people are giving up landlines and just using cell phones but this makes it one step easier. You asked about the sculpture park-it is located in Loveland, Colorado.<br />Have a great day.<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869165703660327996.post-12666948010815703692011-08-11T17:13:36.897-04:002011-08-11T17:13:36.897-04:00We just switched over to the "Magic Jack"...We just switched over to the "Magic Jack" which lets us use the phone through our computer. We still have house phones, but don't pay the monthly bill- just the cost of the Magic Jack thingy that was like $20. We didn't get to keep our old number though. (Canada's cell phone plans aren't as great as in the US, or we'd scrap home phones completely)jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856942255709106556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869165703660327996.post-63929298021206079642011-08-08T09:20:54.703-04:002011-08-08T09:20:54.703-04:00I feel so uncertain about cutting the cord.

I think our country is in such unsteady shape and things are only going to get worse that we have to find measures to save more.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580566645138790920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869165703660327996.post-22882855147594554802011-08-07T15:26:09.493-04:002011-08-07T15:26:09.493-04:00We have been thinking about doing this very thing....We have been thinking about doing this very thing.

I'm glad to hear from someone who did it. Of course, ours would have to come to my line.

So glad you enjoyed "The Birth House", the setting, Nova Scotia, is only a few hours drive from where I live.
