WRONG AGAIN

We now have caller ID all over the place; on the phone, and tv and computer, if they are on. A couple of week's ago, everything was on, and this very familiar phone number was identified all over the place from an incoming call. I ruminated for a moment, then realized the number was so familiar because it was exactly the same as ours, except the last digit was a four instead of a three. Since the numbers were so close, I assumed someone dialed it incorrectly, so I chose not to answer it.

Boy, was I wrong!



After a miniscule amount of deliberation, I realized my theory was ridiculous. (Think about it.)



Turns out it was somebody who wanted Pat to cover for her at the library. Amazing, huh?

Even more amazing, that's where Pat is right now; covering at the library for someone who's phone number is almost exactly the same as ours, except for the last digit.
(And some people say my life is boring!)



Makes you wonder....................

P.S. I just cancelled my phone land line in CT. Marie, the At&t service rep who processed my request, told me to call back any time I wanted my service renewed. She said I have been a very good customer.

There is so much happening in my life; I may have to open a Twitter account.

Hey, did anyone read Sunday's "For Better or For Worse" comic strip? Worth searching out and pondering, mis amigos. Search out and ponder.

  3. I wish you had told me that sooner. Yesterday, Miles had a playdate. The kids were all playing drums in your apartmenr. Because they were arguing and because I am lazy, I told them I would call downstairs when it was the next person's turn to play. I told them to wait for the ring and then to switch. I've never used this method before. What are the chances that I chose to use it on the same day you cancelled it. I'm also wondering why none of the kids told me my plan didn't work so well. They must've worked it out....

  5. I was so inspired by this post, I cancelled my own phone service here in New York. Then I realized I didn't have a condo in Florida.

    Also, my computer uses ... used to use ... a dial-up connection.

    Lastly, I don't have a cellphone.

    Don't ever do this to me again.

  6. Can I unplug it?

    Let me guess, don't toss it, you want to store it? Just in case!!!

    I digress, it was a good number, a mighty, mighty, fine number.

    I'm sure it's with Trixie!
