Living the Dream
Like HermitHogan said, my left hand tremors drive me crazy. Never had this problem until I broke my wrist from a fall back in June.
Not when it comes to promoting anything medical... (it's called toilet humour)Why? I thought you guys were really into bathroom humor. Or do you call it loo humor? (<that came out as loo-hoomer when I read it out loud)
jeez.Telephone calls. I think 2 weeks ago I set a new record of mine. I had 41 calls. That includes both landline and cell calls. On that day, the calls started at 5:45 a.m.
Good advice, but I have a government phone number on my cell phone and if I don’t answer it, the call goes to a central answering service that’s handled by computers and that continues to reach me every 15 minutes and doesn’t stop until I answer it, or the caller kills the call back.jeez...get a call screening service from your telephone provider
the way the screening works is.. that the phone rings, you pick it up, an automated voice on the other end which you don't hear has already asked the caller to state their name.. when the phone rings your end, you pick it up, the screening service tells you whose calling.... then you press 1 on the number pad to connect the caller if you wish to speak, or just hang up if you don't want to take the call...either way the caller doesn't know you've denied their call ..they're just transferred to the answer machineGo

Or... you could just be posh like me and say, "Eff off."the way the screening works is.. that the phone rings, you pick it up, an automated on the other end which you don't hear has already asked the caller to state their name.. when the phone rings your end, you pick it up, the screening service tells you whose calling.... then you press 1 on the number pad to connect the caller if you wish to speak, or just hang up if you don't want to take the call
yes nowadays you could be saying that 100 times a day unfortunately...Or... you could just be posh like me and say, "Eff off."![]()
No problem, it is only two words.yes nowadays you could be saying that 100 times a day unfortunately...
yes but you've got to put up with the phone ringing all those times as well... with the screening system once the spammer gets that once or twice, they never call back again. whereas regardless of what you say down the phone.. if you answer it, you're going to be inundated all the time...No problem, it is only two words.![]()
But Holly, you lovely Dolly, that is the fun.yes but you've got to put up with the phone ringing all those times as well... with the screening system once the spammer gets that once or twice, they never call back again. whereas regardless of what you say down the phone.. if you answer it, you're going to be inundated all the time...
Welcome, James, jump in and enjoy yourself.
What is something that frustrates you almost every day?
