Our wings are not tired.

Did you have the phone on and hit "ignore" or anything when the phone call came in? *That* might be your problem.

ETA: yeah, ita, I thought he meant he had the phone turned off and the calls went right to VM.

Yeah, well, I guess that's engaging the phone.

ETA: and it looks like my carrier, AT&T outlines it such:

When your device is on:

•Calls that you do not answer that are routed to the AT&T voicemail system will be charged as an international roaming incoming call to your device.

•In addition, the foreign carrier's routing of that call to the AT&T voicemail system may generate an outgoing call charge from your device's location to the U.S.

•These charges apply even if the caller disconnects from the voicemail system without leaving a message.

If your device is turned off or in flight mode and the wireless network is off:

•When someone tries to call you, the call will go directly to your personal voicemail greeting.

•Since the network does not try to deliver the call to you in a foreign country, there are no international roaming charges.

hip deep in pie

I landed on a site that downloaded some malware. Somehow, either the malware or the steps I took to take it off, borked my internet connect. I just spent 2 hours messing with my router and modem until I realized it wasn't me. Fortunately, my service provider tech support got me back on fairly quickly.

I really need to figure out what do with with my smartphone before I head to London. Not that Hec's ass ever calls.

For dinner, I had strawberries, roasted brussels sprouts, and an apple and gouda chicken sausage. It was pretty good, you guys.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It sounds good, shrift. I had a Bertolli frozen pasta thingie, but tarted it up with butter, chicken stock, sauteed shrooms, lemon, cheese and fresh spinach. And a cheese breadstick.

And some DoubleStuf Oreo cakesters. I don't love oreos, but I am SO glad those cakesters come in little packages of two, or else I could eat a fuckton.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been trying to keep up.

Gud - I hope a better and brighter opportunity is right around the corner for you.

Jilli & Pete and FredPete - I'm so sorry for your loses.

Msbelle - congrats on the part time job.

I've been enjoying K-Bug time, making plans for her graduation and moving out here. CJ's play is next week, so rehearsals are running longer and longer each day.
