HOME PHONES BACK IN THE DAY
A Little Bit of History:
Does anyone remember or know what a PARTY LINE was? You CITY kids back then wouldn't have known ... you pick up the phone and the neighbor was on the phone. You couldn't recieve or make a call until they hung up. The kicker was YOU COULD STAY QUIET and listen in ... IMAGINE THAT TODAY!!!
What Did PARTY LINE mean in Rural America?
In rural America, a "party line" referred to a shared telephone line used by multiple households, particularly in the early to mid-20th century before private lines became common. This system allowed several families to share the same phone line to save costs in areas where extending individual lines was expensive or impractical.
Key Features of Party Lines:
1. Shared Usage: All households connected to the party line could make and receive calls on the same line.
2. Distinctive Rings: Each household had a specific ring pattern (e.g., two short rings, one long ring) to indicate an incoming call for them.
3. Lack of Privacy: Conversations could often be overheard, as others on the line could pick up their phones and listen.
4. Etiquette Required: Users had to coordinate usage, as the line could only handle one call at a time. People were expected to hang up if they picked up while someone else was on a call.
5. Community Connection: While it posed privacy concerns, the party line also fostered a sense of community as people stayed informed about neighbors’ lives, sometimes intentionally (gossip) or unintentionally.
As telephone technology advanced, party lines were gradually replaced with private lines, especially by the 1970s and 1980s.

Soup, Something Besides Turkey
Soup, Something Besides Turkey
Quick Soup Recipe
Super easy. It’s a dump meal. Total cost about $12 or less... this one feeds a lot.
1 package Kielbasa or smoked sausage (I use Ekrich Sausage) cut in chunks as shown in photo
1 32 oz bag frozen hashbrowns
1 small onion diced up
2 cups of cheddar
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of milk
1 10oz can of cream mushroom or chicken soup
Add sausage, hash browns, onion and cheese in a greased slow cooker (I use crockpot liners for easy clean up), then mix soup, milk, sour cream together.
I add salt and pepper, minced garlic, & onion powder to the mixture to
taste, then pour over sausage and hash browns . Next sprinkle about 1/2 cup more cheese on top.. cook on low for 6 hours or high for about 3-4 hours
Serve with salad, or roasted veggies for a complete meal, and maybe Texas garlic toast!

Beauty and Fitness
Beauty and Fitness
Health is wealth. By being physically fit, it can make a person look lean both inside and out.
There is a lot a person can do such jogging or walking in the morning, playing basketball or any other sport with friends but if a person wants to have muscles and look lean, the best thing to do will be to sign up and workout in a gym.
Just like taking any medicine, one should first consult the doctor before undergoing any form of exercise.
Physical exercise is beneficial because it helps maintain and improve ones health from a variety of diseases and premature death. It also makes a person feel happier and increases ones self esteem preventing one from falling into depression or anxiety. It has also shown to make a person with an active lifestyle live longer than a person who doesn't.
The best exercise plan should have cardiovascular and weight training exercises. This helps burn calories and increase the muscle to fat ratio that will increase ones metabolism and make one either gain or lose weight.
A person who has never worked out before should do it gradually. Doing it too much for the first time can make one pull a muscle or have an injury making it worse. Endurance will never be built in a day and doing it repeatedly will surely be good to the person.
Focusing on certain portion in the body can help make it improve. A good example is going to the gym and doing a workout more often in a specific area such as the abs can give one a chest pack.
But beauty is not only about having muscles which is what people can see. It is also about enhancing the beauty within.
Here are some things one can do everyday to stay beautiful and healthy;
- Reading books and other reading material more often keeps the mind sharp just like working out keeps the body in shape.
- Work no matter what kind it is produces stress. One can reduce this by taking the time out to do something special like lying in a hot tub, shopping or watching a movie. Studies have shown it is reliever and helps one from looking haggardly.
- Pollution is something people cannot control given the size of the problem. When one goes out, it is best to put some form of protection such as beauty products that contain antioxidants that protect the skin from damage. There are also other beauty products available and choosing the right one with the help of a dermatologist can help the person.
- Another way to stay healthy is to give up some vices. Most people smoke and drink. Smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer and other diseases as well complications for women giving birth. Excessive drinking has also shown to do the same.
- For people who don't smoke, it is best to stay away from people who do since studies have shown that nonsmokers are also at risk of developing cancer due to secondary smoke inhalation.
- Lastly, it is best to always start the day with a positive outlook. Just as studies have shown that exercise makes a person feel happier, smiling produces the same effect. A smile can do a lot and it is contagious in a positive sense. It brightens the day of not only one but others as well.

Who Is Mike Tyson?
IRON MIKE TYSON
Who Is Mike Tyson?
Mike Tyson is a former professional boxer from the United States, widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, Tyson rose to prominence in the 1980s due to his extraordinary power, speed, and ferocity in the ring. He earned the nickname "Iron Mike" and became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, when he won the WBC title in 1986.
Tyson unified the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles, becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. Known for his knockout power, he won many of his fights in the early rounds. However, his career also had notable controversies, including legal troubles and a stint in prison for a 1992 rape conviction.
One infamous moment in Tyson's career came during a 1997 fight with Evander Holyfield, when he bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear, leading to his disqualification.
After retiring from professional boxing in 2005, Tyson pursued various ventures, including acting, hosting a podcast, and performing in a one-man show. He has also become an advocate for mental health and cannabis use. Despite his troubled past, Tyson remains an iconic figure in the world of sports and popular culture.
