BM> Yours is more interesting than my phone call! Well, it wasn't mine...but I had to laugh when told about it.

Right now, dining rooms are limited to 67% capacity...and the best time to go is after the lunch rush is over. BM> *67 to you too! More the curse to those who falsify it. I've gotten a bunch of spoofed numbers and calls to my smartphone. I use the Call Control app to block these.

I remember paying for the Caller ID when I had the landline. But, after the way AT&T did my late Mom and myself, I'm never going back. Besides, their phone lines are likely VoIP instead of analog, anyway...and I've already got that with T-Mobile...and at least half the cost. BM> Mine can; just one less intreruption. More convenient for me to check BM> their app on the phone. My pharmacy doesn't have an app, but they have a Facebook page. Daryl ....
