Phone books in need of homes
I can remember back in the day when the local phone company would leave each house hold one phone book. If you lost that phone book, you would have to beg, plead and grovel to get another one.
Oh, how that is not a problem anymore here in Powdersville South Carolina. Just how many phone books do these phone companies think I need?
Two weeks ago I was so happy to see my new phone book waiting on me at the mailbox. So I threw away that old ratty looking one and copied my numbers in the new one.
Tuesday of last week, I came home to 2 more phone books at my mail box (now they are the same Real Yellow Page phone book I received just a week earlier.) Well I chalked it up as a mistake and put them on my self until I find someone who needs them.
Well guess what happened today? You got it, not 1 but 2 new phone books sitting in my driveway. So now I have 4 extra phone books that I need to find homes for. (I hate throwing anything like that away because it adds to trash we don’t need. I could recycle, but I fear someone could use them. I mean after all they are new.)
I was going to take them to my local Bi-Lo, but you want believe what they had there? A whole rack of phone books for people to pick up if they need one. I hate to see how many they have at the local library.
I could just call the phone company and let them know someone left extras at my house if more is needed, but I do not want to be on the phone all day with customer service.
In hopes of finding them homes, I will keep checking around to see if anyone can use a nice, crisp, up-to-date, never been opened phone book. I am now afraid to say that I may not even be able to give these things away.

Hey Robin! I put them into my bathroom, and when I run out of TP…you get the picture. LOL
And I didn’t get any this year. We usually have them dropped off in Sept. but - nada! Just leave a couple on the ground and use them as a stair step exerciser.
