Totally unrelated to pet pictures...
Hivemind question...
I will not be checking my home voice mail while I'm on vacation (Verizon will charge me $0.90 a minute on my cell, so the phone won't be used much at all), so I need to leave a message on my VM telling people that if they need to reach me to call my cell. I was going to leave a message saying that I was fazing out that number and not checking the voice mail, so if you need to reach me, please call my cell. But, last night my dad was like, "But that's lying." But, I don't want to say I'm on vacation, because that leaves me open to a break-in (though, it's unlikely).
Also, my cell phone will have a message saying that I will only be returning urgent calls.
So, thoughts?
Lie and don't tell your Dad.
No call forwarding feature on your home account?
Just leave a message saying that if someone needs to reach you quickly, call your cell number. No need for an explanation.
I'd have to pay extra for it. And I really don't want Omaha Steaks and other random people just being directly forwarded to my cell, which will actually have a message saying that I'm out of town and only returning urgent calls.
I agree with Anne. Please call my cell, no explanation. People that matter know you are out of town, others don't need to know.
There are no circumstances under which your father thinks a lie is acceptable, vw? Does he go around telling women that their dresses make their butts look fat?
I think lying to protect life and property is perfectly okay. You don't want to tempt burglars to sin, do you?
Most of those sales calls are automatic anyway. They're not hearing what you say on the message. And anybody who knows you would likely call your cell if the couldn't reach you at home, right?
Just leave a message saying that if someone needs to reach you quickly, call your cell number. No need for an explanation.
This.
Sorting through my grandfather's photos is interesting. His filing system consisted of little wax paper bags and cigar boxes. And he took pictures of everything. So I've got one cigar box of pictures of protests, with each protest in a separate little wax paper bag. Another of vacations on the east coast, with each vacation in a separate bag. Yet another cigar box of vacations to places that didn't have oceans. One entire box of pictures that he took of the TV screen when interesting people were on. A box that seems to contain every article from every NY English and German newspaper about the liberation of Buchenwald.
It makes for interesting browsing. And for the vacation pictures, he always sorted the pictures of people from the pictures of places. However, if I'm looking for something specific (like, right now, some photos of a family vacation in the thirties that I know I saw last time I looked through these), I have no idea where to start.
Thanks for the advice, guys.
In I-love-my-life news, I just looked up the books I'll need for Spring, and they total $29.95. Cheapest semester yet!
