So for years we have had one phone that would hold a charge and the other three just wouldn't hold a full charge. So we finally broke down and bought a new phone system, one that hopefully we can use in the living room as well.
It has other perks as well. I never told people that the old answering machine only recorded the first five seconds of the message. Many a times someone would say can you call me at and that would be it. Since I hate calling people I thought it was a perfect way to ignore them. I guess it would have been nice to tell them that the answering machine didn't work, but then I would hear - why don't you get a new machine.
So now I have no excuses (I think - nobody ever calls me anymore I can't figure that one out.) So call away leave a message, just don't ask me to call back.

hilarious. of course my voice does the same thing. i can trigger a hangup just by saying "hello."
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how long you can put off changing something that needs changing & make meaningless changes to items that work just fine?
ReplyDeleteHopefully T3 will learn how to check voicemail remotely. If we didn't rely on email, we probably would have changed phones long ago.
As a matter of info, T3 hooked up the new system since she is quite good electronically etc & I am a walking, talkiing disaster when it comes to fixing things. Thank you T3!
I don't call you because we both HATE to talk on the phone except when we worked at Hoagy's which was a must while counting out tills, smoking and driking our pops at the same time!!
