Subj : Courts And More To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Jun 30 2020 08:38:00 Hi Daryl! BM> And the CID system displays only the first field when the desired on is BM> the second if available. DS> If I answer a call, and it's a telemarketer, etc., I hang up, DS> then report it via my app, and block it. Otherwise, I add it to DS> my contacts list. With the landline we've just not been answering calls we don't recognize unless expecting a 'mystery phonecall' ==> someone calling from the insurance company's vendors doing the repairs on the house from the hail damage. They've been mostly working from home so using their private or company-issued cell phones. Otherise like you letting it go to the answering machine -- which sometimes we monitor and sometimes not - depends on the convenience/what we're doing at the time. People are aware of everyone monitoring so more likely to leave a message. If the CID seems familiar (have goofed!) will cautiously answer. NB> Or run their phone thru VoIP themselves to get the ability... BM> Probably all will eventually. DS> Since all the analog stuff is virtually gone. Yup. Actually makes more sense not to use analog any longer for the main transmission. Oh, sort of along that I tried to send you a test FAX last night. What software I found required a physical modem, so external hung off the serial port -- I don't have on on the rear panel and not sure a USB to Serial Adapter would work (which I don't remember having one) because the software didn't seem to configure with that option. BM> The judge is working from home and his offical robe on over his BM> pajamas! DS> He better have that robe securely in place. I've heard of DS> several folks who did selfies, but had no pants on. :P It reminds DS> me of the cartoon several years ago called "Strange Brew" by the DS> local paper editorial cartoonist, John Deereing. There is a sign DS> at this fancy restaurant, that noted "NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO DS> SERVICE". Well, this guy shows up with a shirt on, and shoes on, DS> but he is NAKED below the waist!! The maitre'd laments "Well, it DS> looks like you've got us on a technicality". And that's how lawyers get their big bucks: looking at all those details! BM> I don't know if the courts around here have re-opened. Last I heard BM> was at the begining of the COVID-19 close-down and trials in progress BM> were going to continue but no new ones started. DS> They announced the local traffic court will be "virtual" at DS> least through September. Haven't heard for Iowa but Illinois has been advertising vehicle registrations temporary changes. Expired registrations and drivers licenses will be extended until October 1; only new registrations and licences are being taken currently and they're trying to do as much of those on-line as possible. BM> ... Boldly going forward (because I can't find reverse!). DS> Reminds me of the joke where a father and his son are in an DS> elevator, and this obese woman gets in. The boy says "Boy, Dad!! DS> She has a fat butt!!". His Dad chews his son out, saying "Some DS> people can't help their condition". All of a sudden, the woman's DS> pager goes off, and his son panics, with "Look Out, Dad!! She's DS> Backing Up"!! You're in troubbbbble for that one!! Dont' recall how it started but a group of us at the store would 'beep' at each other when we stepped backwards -- might have started as a joke when someone stepped back and accidentally bumped into another. ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ¯ (Humans know what ® ¯ to remove.) ® ....
