Is anyone else bothered by messages, recorded or otherwise, left on Voice Mail by people who rattle things off so fast that you can barely understand them? You can't quite catch the name they give, and it's anyone's guess about their phone number. Even when you call an office and get an actual person on the line, they so often say a name so quickly you can't catch it. I like to know to whom I'm speaking. In fact, I write it down for future reference.
I was alarmed the other day when I got a letter I had written to my friend in a nursing home, returned to me with something scribbled on the envelope that I couldn't read at all. I thought something had happened to her. It was OK. I called and learned she was fine. Guess I never will figure out why it came back.
Did you know there are 540,000 words in the English language?! I learned that from a video Sylvia had on her blog the other day. Wow! I wonder how many of them I know?
I have my "Dr. Seuss" plant. Lisa has her bamboo in the back yard. It's going crazy and trying to take over the whole property. It can be a real problem, too, sprouting up under her porch and coming through the boards. Nothing seems able to kill it. Anyone know of a way to get rid of it? - I actually planted some in the yard at my old house - back in a corner, to hide the mess in a neighbor's yard. It did that, but has since spread far into the yard despite frequent mowing.
Well, back to visiting Sky Watch posts, and making comments. Here are a couple more chicken jokes.
I think I've forgotten which ones I have put into my blog. Better take time to figure that out one of these days.
