A call to charm

Retro 302 Wall Phone - hang it up.
You can't get rid of that old-fashioned phone you still have but it no longer works. Or perhaps your new home needs a little touch of nostalgia to give it a warm, homey feel.

Retro chic meets modern convenience in this Retro 302 Wall Phone by Crosley. This model recalls the original 302 Wall Phone designed by Henry Dreyfuss for Bell Telephone Laboratories. It's got that old rotary dial look but is equipped with touch-tone dial (pulse or tone capability), last number redial, earpiece volume control and ringer on/off switch, handy features we can't do without. Controls are hidden so as not to draw away from the design and should be set before the phone is mounted.

Available colors are black ($59.99), brushed chrome ($69.99) and red ($59.99).

Dimensions: 9.5"H x 5"W x 4.5"D

Comes with a 90-day manufacturer's warranty.

An inexpensive yet charming accent for your home, it's a classic "pick me up."

What's a Nice Guy Like You Doing in the Dump?

No More Mr. Nice Guy: A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love, Sex and
            Life
Know why nice guys finish last? Nice guys delude themselves, believing that if they put the needs of other people first, their needs would be met and they would be loved and would receive the same kindness and caring in return. That ultimately, they would want for nothing and have nothing to worry about. Dr. Robert A. Glover, licensed marriage and family therapist, calls this the "Nice Guy Syndrome."

Dr. Glover counsels these people-pleasers in No More Mr. Nice Guy: A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love, Sex and Life.

Whenever nice guys neglect their own needs in an attempt to please other people, they become frustrated and unhappy, possibly resentful, and end up taking it out on the people that surround them.

How to get out of the rut? Nice guys must learn to stop seeking approval and start to realize their true worth. Dr. Glover's proven plan shows the path to one's heart's desires. Nice guys may be begging for love. Great guys don't have to.

The plan's great price is just $7.76.
