But DH and I talked about having something for future LO's. Living in the country and on a little bit of land we talked about getting a triangle bell or outdoor bell to "bring em on back in" LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58648 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:20:44 +0000 twodoghouse 58648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a bell or anything. Our "time to eat" signal was when my dad got home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58615 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:55:16 +0000 tequiero21 58615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha omg that would be annoying! and you're going to do it!!!! no, we never had any kinda bells or whistles. we did have some yelling "come down!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58596 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:40:09 +0000 heffalump 58596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a pretty small house growing up, so we didn't even have to scream to be heard across the house. We're in a tiny house now too, so no need for a bell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58591 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:32:25 +0000 chopsuey 58591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: He probably won't use it much, but he teaches certification courses every once in a while and wants to use it to get everyone's attention (when they get too loud). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58537 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:41:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 58537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never thought of doing this. How cool would it be to get a triangle to ring like you're on a ranch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58532 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:30:46 +0000 Rubies 58532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's hilarious! Genius, in fact. My mom just called us from the stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58511 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:35:13 +0000 Andrea 58511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, my parents rang a bell when they wanted me to come eat dinner. made me feel like livestock so i will not be doing that to my LO. i can probably just text her. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58480 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:20:03 +0000 SAHM0811 58480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom would put a bell by my bed when I was home sick so I could ring it if I needed anything. I almost totally forgot about that til you posted this! I love Hellobee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58477 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:12:26 +0000 mediagirl 58477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, no they didn't, mom used her big voice. :-) All though, since I was a big reader, I always wished we lived on a farm and Mom would ring the huge dinner bell to call us all in. </p> <p>I'm intrigued: why does your husband need a bell for work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bells-whistles-cymbals-gongs#post-58306 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:22:58 +0000 chopsuey 58306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents used to ring a bell whenever it was time to eat. :P Omg that bell was so annoying--especially in the morning. </p> <p>DH needed a bell for work so we ordered 2. One for him and one for home. HAHA. It'll be a nice way for us to get the kids downstairs or to the kitchen without having to yell or text. :P </p> <p>Did your parents use bells or etc. at home when you were younger? Will you? </p>
