  When a certain ring tone ("blah-blah-blah-blah") goes off I know who it
is and what he wants and answering saying, with a sigh, "Ok, I'll be there",
no hello, what do you want?, etc.  :)
  And its not like he ever calls to shoot the breeze.

  Too many have been given trophies for just the least little thing and
think they deserve whatever have is just because they are them.
  Neither of my parents had a it easy growing up (though the '50s were good
times), and I was taught to be thankful for whatever work I had and give it
my all.  That I could be replaced at the drop of a hat, etc.
  The Depression was merely a slight bump in the road to them and barely
noticed.  :)
  And I have had a 1932 mentality all my life.  :)
