JM> I had to be on Main Street and I was on another one, one block over. JM> Once I got over to Main Street things were fine. Yeah, the right street always helps.... > JM> But his name was on the box, he forgot to remov > Good thing for neighbors.... :) (and you dropped off again) JM> He forgot to remove his name when he took down the numbers. :) Ah.. I thought that might have been what you were saying... :) > JM> friend saying to someone "Be very quiet and maybe he'll go away". > JM> (No one was home, my friend was still at work). > You've got a lively (and suspicious) imagination there.... ;) JM> When I got to Denver to see a friend there, he was at work, he acted JM> like I just stepped out of the room than several years since we last JM> saw each other. JM> Now I have known James for years and we both have a strange sense of JM> humour. JM> After visiting a couple of hours I said I had best be on the road JM> and sort of stood there a minute, figuring I would be asked to stay JM> for dinner. He wished me well and returned to work. Perhaps you should have hinted a bit broader that you could be persuaded to stay longer....? JM> Several days passed. JM> I was in East Texas or western Louisiana and called a friend to say JM> I would be in his town around a certain time. JM> Then noticed I had missed a call from James so called him back. JM> He said his wife Karin was highly upset I hadn't been invited to JM> stay for dinner, how rude, etc. and he wanted to apologize then added JM> "but as I told Karin if he comes to dinner he'll stay on for several JM> days". LOL Sounds like Karin was sorry not to have had the chance to see you, too... And might not have minded if the stay had stretched a day or so... :) > JM> Must be a iPhone "feature". > Could be.... :) Indeed strange, though.... JM> When I was in Syracuse I was shown the Destiny Mall. (I'm not a JM> mall person but did enjoy it). I don't think I've been in there since it was renamed Destiny, but I've heard that it's become quite a destination... JM> I found an Apple store and stopped in to find out why my text tone JM> stopped working. JM> The first guy swiped this way and that, pushed this and that button, JM> swiped again, had my host (who was standing by us) text me with the JM> clerk saying it was working. JM> Nothing. JM> He swiped this way and that, pushed buttons and still nothing. JM> He called over another clerk who did the same thing. JM> Nothing. JM> He just handed the phone back to me saying I would have either data JM> or wifi on all the time, thanked me and walked away. JM> (I pay for data and wifi not always available). JM> So, I guess that's just another feature of that phone. :) There seem to be quite a few "features" of that phone that I'd not at all like to have... another reason for me not to get a smartphone, particularly not that one... :) JM> Oh, and it take a day before a text arrives and often get a JM> undeliverable message when I send one. How unhelpful.... the reason for having a phone being communication... ttyl neb ....
