Good morning everyone
We all know what day it is and I am sure there are a few folks out there doing the "tax tango " or the "tax tap dance" today so enough said about that
So drawing upon one of the events in history I will simply ask
Todays question:
Do you like to talk on the phone ?
Extra credit: Whats is the longest phone conversation you remember having?
Today in history:
April 15, 1877 1st telephone installed: Boston-Somerville, Massachusetts
April 15, 1955 Ray Kroc starts McDonald's chain of fast food restaurants in Illinois
Word of the day:
reticent \RET-ih-suhnt\, adjective:
1. Inclined to keep silent; reserved; uncommunicative.
2. Restrained or reserved in style.
3. Reluctant; unwilling.
Today is:
National Glazed-Spiral Ham Day
it is also
National take a wild guess day
I don't like to talk on the phone. I become reticent, and the whole phone call seems awkward. Take a wild guess what I'd rather do?? Right! communicate by city-data!
The longest phone conversations I have last about 10 minutes.
No I'm not a talker so having to sit on the phone for over three hours with someone just about killed me! Can you believe it was an international call! The same person called me on another two hour marathon and I fell asleep during it ... she never missed a vowel!

Reason: Karla, was I even close?????
and when in one of my "lets solve all of the problems of the world" moods lol I can chat for hours.
I think the longest call was when a friend was making a long drive late at night and he called because he wanted to talk to help stay awake I think that was a good 3 hour chat.
Funny thing is I am married to a guy that hates to talk on the phone so guess who answers the phone in our house
i HATE the phone!! i used to talk on the phone only to my best freind when i was in high school. now i even get a little wierd when it just rings. my family gets upset cause i "never" call. maybe cause it's uncomfortable to be on the phone with nothing to say--
the longest phone conversation? more than an hour--probably an hour and 20 minutes? to a very good freind from work--we crack up all the time together--it's great. we spend moost of that time laughing so much we cant breath.
I'm not a big phone fan. The longest phone call I can remember was my with my youngest son. He commutes 50 miles - one way - in a Chevy Camaro. His first ride home after about a week on the job was in a bad snowstorm. It was an adventure and he wanted me to "stay with him" on the phone to help him through it in case he got lost, stuck, nervous, etc. It was not a fun ride for him - or a fun call for me and it lasted about two and a half hours!
And yes, I'm still getting around to answering yesterday's question.
I don't want to stay on the phone for more than a couple minutes at a time. Long ago I had a job / career that required hours of phone time each day. That kind of killed it for me.
When I was about 18 I remember talking to my girlfriend one night from about 10 p.m. until we both saw the sun come up. That was a once in a lifetime call.
