Cool! I forgot that we had a party line when I was a kid too.
We were lucky, because the people we shared it with were never on the phone. I only remember a handful of times that I picked up the phone when someone else was using it.
My parent held on to that party line for as long as they could. The other parties on their party line went and got their own private lines, and my parents ended up paying the lower party line rate while having a private line. They did this for years, until some change in phone regulations allowed the phone company to drop them from that plan.
