I do! I do!

Here's my PARTYLINE story for those who want to read!

I had moved with my family to a small southern town in Indiana (Bedford). The kids who lived in this town had all lived there their entire lives. I was the newbie and out of the "odd man out" because I didn't know anybody!

One Saturday night, (feeling lonely as a teenager in hs) I called in to local radio show (do they still do that?) to request a song. 
I heard kids from high schools in the area talking in the background as the busy signal beeps kept repeating!

I WAS THRILLED!
Here was a way I could talk to local teens my age about anything and everything!

IT WAS A PARTYLINE AND IT WAS FUN!

Kim and Mary had a party line  with 2 customers who called in the other night . Not sure if it was staged but  everyone acted really surprised  along with the caller who kept saying she wanted to be on air .

Oh, fun!

I missed another epic moment!

Some fool who kept saying and acting surprised she talked forever then she said "am I on air"?  Poor Kim

said "yes, hon your on air".  Mary , tried to stay on course with the clothes, but, was a struggle.

Finally, they got rid of her. Wasn't no act . Poor Kim

was flustered. Mary was wore out. LOL

I wish they would stop the on air calls @SharkE .  I hit the mute button!

 I agree. The calls are cringe inducing.

Lately on Kim's shows QVC can't seem to connect with the callers.

Just dead air with Kim shouting, "Are you there? Did we lose you?".

I think the universe is trying to tell QVC to give up the ridiculous calls 😂

When they do connect it's a rambling, confusing, embarrassing mess 🤦

[SharkE]

Yeah, we have enough disturbed people in the world

don't need to give them an audience with the Q.

Yes!!!  I remember when we used to be able to do that.  I was in a bigger town.  We had three high schools and were able to talk to kids from across town.  What fun!  Then the phone company fixed that.
