What the best Intercom these days?

That would definitely not have enough WAF :-)

They have generally screwed up the intercom functionality, big time.

Old models, designed by older engineers who knew: Push button, talk.

Newer models, design by folks who obviously had no clue about it: Enter intercom menu, press star or whatever, enter number of handset you want to call (as if anyone knows that) ... -> useless.

Smartphone punks. They think everyone knows how to do everything with a smartphone.

?-(

And we ain't got no smart phones.

They closed the local video stores last year. Netflix & Amazon were kicking their asses. I don't have a credit card, so no way to rent them by mail.

Hard to live without a credit card of some sort. Maybe get one of those rechargable gift certificate thingies...

For recent movies, I usually use Redbox at the grocery store.

I've made it over 60 years without one. :)

Midwife when it's a big one.

A large number of heart attacks, strokes, etc. occur whilst in the can.

Cordless phones are easier than finding a place to install a phone. :)

I was on a service call back in the '70s at the home of an 'interior decorator'. He not only had a wall phone by the bathroom sink, he had carpeted the ceiling, and that was one of the least offensive things in the house. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

When my sons were teenagers, I redid their bathroom, tiled floor, walls AND ceiling... also installed a floor drain... need cleaning, just hose it down ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Them, or the bathroom? :)

Sometimes them, too. We had our dentist and his family to dinner one time. The kids were outside horsing around. All of a sudden Aaron comes screaming to the house, barges in the back door, streaming blood from the top of his head. I back him right back out the door, grab the hose, and hose him off so I can see the wound. He had been hanging upside down from the swing set upper bar and fell head-first. A few stitches and he was fine. The dentist... a wimpy Democrat party chair was quite upset with me ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Did he do the stitches? :)

Many moons ago, I was asked to 'house sit' a house, well, actually a small mansion, that a developer had built and then gone bankrupt. Some of the 'neighbors' had been stripping it of anything of any value, so the bank was hiring students to live out there and provide a little security.

The bathroom had tile floors, walls and ceilings and a hose bib so yes, you COULD just hose it down. It also had heating pipes in the floor so that it would be warm and toasty for your footsies in the winter.

It was just too far out of town for me to do the job, though, as I didn't have a car at the time.
