See you after Wednesday!

cal-201408-retro_tech_050So I started writing this post three times. The first time I went on a tirade about the election. I deleted it because let’s face it that will be every other blog post today. You don’t need me saying what everyone is so very aware of; we can’t wait until Wednesday. The second time was about the media, but it just went down the same toilet. It took a lot to find a subject that didn’t swirl in a clockwise fashion, and since most of today and tomorrow are going to feel like a giant wedgie I decided to find something else to write about. No, today I want to discuss whether or not to keep my home phone. We all have cell phones, and I am paying for a phone which only receives calls from Ivanka Trump or the pharmacy. I know what you are thinking and no I am not personal friends with the Trumps. Every time I look at the caller ID, it either says unknown or Social Security office neither of which I want to answer. I don’t know why I have not gotten rid of it, but we have had that number for eighteen years it feels a little like losing a piece of our past. Just in case you think that I might miss getting all the robot calls or sales pitches I have been getting them on my cell phone as well. Everything from roofing companies to surveys. Before you tell me there are no call lists that I can be on, I am. I have signed up for all of them, and I am still getting a call almost every day. I guess I thought that if I just kept the house phone, it would all go there, my bad. The only good news is, come Wednesday, half of the calls will stop, but if I do get rid of the house phone how will I know that the ARC has a truck in my area? Well if I do decide to get rid of it I will wait to make that decision till after Wednesday. I have had enough of big decisions for the year.
