We used to be able to get info like thata by calling the hospital,, but no more. There are new privacy laws, and the operator is not supposed to even confirm that the person is there, let alone what condition s/he is in.

Nice one - I do believe I have seen it before and it is still as funny as the first time.


Wishing you and every one on the board a good and sober day. 


Keep your bells jingling!

Hi again Phil,


Was thinking of how, when someone calls you and before they leave a message, they say "Toni, are you there", and even though I'm in the next room, my response is alway, "No, I'm NOT."  Figuratively, and literally.

Well I guess the saying is true:


You're in your own world...but that's o.k.they know you there. 


Do you mean - not looking for opinions from the other voices or from other people? 


At any rate have a good time!   


As for the bells - they can be jingled at any time it does not necessarily have to be this time of year.    


Have a good one. 


Enjoy the day.  :smile                         


Jeannie

Hi Aamada,


 


You do learn something every day!  I spent my entire life thinking the 12 days of Christmas were the 12 days before Christmas!  DA


and if thats the case, Merry Christmas!!!!

Good point Amanda


Piece of useless trivia.  How many gifts did my true love actually give to me?


12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=78


WOW wouldn't that be one heck of a Christmas?  Where would I put all of it?
