Do they not have a second extension? That's how we do it in my family...

Heh. Mine too. And a headset for my dad who was forever dropping the phone, wedging it so we got to hear all sorts of bizarre head noises, etc. Oh, and he has to take the phone with the mute option and actually use it or my mom will get off the line. He's very unaware of noise.

>What's wrong with ceiling fans....

I think they are strange, and not the natural order of things. Also ugly. And likely to fall on my head (although this may only be the one my (old) landlord installed). I have a serious ceiling fan hate-on.

I love my ceiling fan, it's a big quiet Hunter fan that I installed myself so I know it's secure. The living room one is kinda ugly though, I wouldn't mind Leif breaking that one so I could replace it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love ceiling fans. I only have one right now, in the bedroom, but it is always on. Mmm, breeze.

What is even happening?

I adore ceiling fans. And there are pretty ones, as well as ugly ones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sophia -- that is totally crack-addled.

Okay, at work, must go Elseware's shopping (I'd kinda noticed that skirt before I left, juliana).

I bought local art this weekend! At least I think it was local. It was at a silent auction for a krav-run benefit. I was worried it'd make all the rest of the stuff that's waiting to be hung on my walls look bad, but .. eh.

oh, no, she'd have to admit that she wants to eavesdrop then. What happens is that you call, she answers the phone. Chat with her for a few minutes and say "hey, I need to talk to Dad" then she says "oh, I'll just put you on speaker" There's no reason for her to pick up an extension, because you're not talking to her. It's the same reason that she started picking up his cell phone if she saw that it was me or my brother. V. irritating.

I speakerphone all the time at home, and make no apologies for it. I want my hands free, so I only buy the cordlesses that can do speakerphone with the handsets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll make you pick up the phone, ita. Unless your speakerphone is REALLY GOOD.

No, you'll ask me to pick up the phone. We'll see where it goes from there.

In the past 5 or 6 years, only my sister's asked, just once, and she didn't get her way.

If you refuse to talk to me on speakerphone, call me on my cell. Which I'll answer if I hear it.
