For those of us with still a landline..............
................ever think about answering who is calling?
I have let the answering machine handle those calls for years but as of last week, the handset mysteriously started working again. So now I have the ability to answer the phone. Well, I've had that ability for years with other handsets but as I am often where the answerer is, now I can do it in this room.
So I hear the phone ring, I hear it go through its 4-5 rings, my voice coming on line, and then........so very often, the crickets.
Some days, I am tempted even though I know it will probably be some salesman, out to waste my time, and when I tell him to send it to me in writing, he will hang up. I may get a thank you for my time, but he will hang up.
And other days? I wish this unit would be totally quiet, from the rings to the recordings, so I didn't have to break my concentration and listen for 30 seconds!
