Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm so glad I gave up my land line. NO robocalls from any politician.

I got a lot of hang ups this weekend. I suspect that they were political calls. no auto calls though.

We have had one autocall today. I was expecting more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why would those be hangups? I ask because I've been getting more than a few lately, and I'd love to believe they're about to stop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am the anti-Cashmere, in that my lack of land line, and therefore robocalls, makes me sad.

PS: HOLD ON TO THAT FEE-LAY-EE-AY-N!!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For a second, I was thinking something else when you mentioned "auto calls."

Hello - I'm the new Chevy Impala. Have you seen me lately? I totally have a more powerful engine than that Ford 500....

Aha. My hangups are when I answer, so not the same thing.

All you no-land-line people kinda scare me. I've never had my land line go out. I have lost power, cable, internet, and cell reception.

Now, there was no big reason for me to have to make phone calls during, say, the no-power moments. But I just liked knowing I could.

Okay, got to get ready. Have to go for a free massage. Life sometimes doesn't suck.
