Yeah, except I do not have that feature on my cheapo land line, only on my cell phone.
It's okay. the only folks to call my land line are my parents and debt collectors for the guy who moved out 5 years ago.
Then I'd have to hear a message like this
"Hi Lindenblüte, this is your momma. Dad and I were just sitting around and wanted to give you a call [insert saccharine sympathy voice, which I believe is sincere, but I HATE] to see you you're doing. We're very proud of you, and hope that [saccharine voice] everything is going all right. Give us a call, we miss your voice"
ugh.
<DELETE>
lol
I have to call them about once every 4 weeks or else I start to get these phone messages from Mom that sound like she's worried I've got a kidney infection (sorry Elaine, that's my mom's intuition when I haven't called for several weeks) or I'm deeply depressed. Increasing frequency and desperation of maternal voice on my answering machine.
I DO have one secret weapon, though. My HUSBAND can call them (and does this every month or so) just to say hi and chat. He's a chatterbox. Then they can hear that I'm doing just fine, and that seems to ameliorate (I learned that word studying for college entrance exams!) the saccharine phone messages.
ugh.

at least when I call THEM, I can don my cotton gloves and prevent a massive cuticle munching session!
