Yes, our landline phone has a blocker as well (and we can turn the ringer off when a blocked call comes through).

Getting less on my mobile. But (and don’t shoot me), how can we reduce these calls on our landline? There is one who calls ever Sunday at 8:06 am. 

My wife has this endearing habit of giving bad news in the order it happened. This is especially interesting when she is telling me on the phone. So, she’ll start by saying, “I was almost killed today on the freeway.” [My reaction: “What???] And, then she’ll start telling the story from the very beginning:

When I was a supervisor (TG I’m not any longer) and had to fire someone, I took my time. And, that time gave me a chance to allow him to decide this wasn’t the right place for him. When my performance review came around, I got a “Satisfactory.” When I asked my new supervisor why, he said, “Since I haven’t been here…

Yeah, you’re ready to be an oncologist. 

I’d be glad to talk about what it takes to parent 20 year olds. Don’t want to worry anyone, but both my wife and I agree: this is the toughest age for parenting. They think they’re adults, but they’re not quite there yet. 

Old Yeller ruined me for life. No animal deaths in movies. 

First of all, thank you for writing this. I hope your mother is doing okay. It must have been a shock. Such a horrible outcome all around.

I agree. I am not a Capital One customer either. If I was, I would use the app because they already have my credit card number. My personal data has been hacked so many times and people have tried to open credit cards in my name that I have a 7 year fraud alert on my personal information. In addition, because of a…

Yes, I am aware and was one of those Home customers that had to figure out what to do next. They offered to hand us off to another company but they had a cap on the amount of data. In the end, after doing research, their business model was the best for me.

Many years ago, I was a letter carrier for the USPS. I was delivering mail in 106F/41C heat. I was so thirsty, I kept drinking water. But it never quenched my thirst, so I kept drinking. I started to feel ill and if I rolled my stomach around I could hear it slosh. I called for some backup and went to lay down. When I…

The safest way to tan is to not tan. Period.

You are ignoring that many of us are 60+ already. I grew up in SoCal, at the beach most of the summer. Back then, I didn’t use any suntan lotion whatsoever. A slight burn turned into a beautiful tan.

In China, no one wants a tan and they go to great lengths to not get one. Full masks at the beach. A tan in China is signifies you work in the fields. 

I’ve been rewatching Star Trek Enterprise again. Luckily, I only remember one episode from the first time, so it’s like watching it for the first time.

I’ve had to file a missing person’s report. It’s no fun. You feel like you’ve been thrust into an episode of 48 Hours. The first thing they will ask you for is a recent photo. In our case, it had a happy ending. And, all is well.

I like to only have my active application showing. That’s why I love Hocus Focus.

It’s one of the best and cheapest offsite repositories and their tech support is stellar. No restrictions on the amount of data your archive (I archive about 3 TB of data).

I think a Tesla Model 3 would be fair compensation, don’t you?

That’s it. Blame the victim.
