Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.<br /><a href="http://www.lovelytxt.com" rel="nofollow">Love Sms</a><br /><a href="http://www.lovelytxt.com" rel="nofollow">Love Text</a>lovelytxt (Annia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14290013393825097154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-17102532728353290092012-01-09T22:18:38.499-05:002012-01-09T22:18:38.499-05:00When I read your "Cow called," punchline...When I read your "Cow called," punchline, I laughed so hard my wife came over to find out what was "wrong." lol<br /><br />I really enjoyed your article, Fran.

Jeff, I lo...Thanks for the interesting comments. <br /><br />Jeff, I love Carl Kassel's voice, but my message now is simply, "You've reached ### ### ####. Please leave a message." which hardly deserves a great voice. Callie's messaage is, "Talk."<br /><br />Velma, my excuse for discarding my cell phone was number 11.<br /><br />Leigh, isn't it interesting how well we remember sound and some voices stay with us forever? Sorry about your friend. I have a similar situation with a singer I dated who died in 1988. There are musical recordings of his voice, but I can close my eyes and hear his spoken voice even now.<br /><br />Dixon, thanks for a cute story, which I have no doubt is true. My sons used to make fun of a friend of mine who called and when she left a message, it sounded like,<br />"Fra--uun, this is A-uun." Of course, they also told me, "Cow called," anytime I heard from Cal.Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-89162480126496205242012-01-09T18:51:23.374-05:002012-01-09T18:51:23.374-05:00Leigh’s remark about that “Loooziana” accent remin...Leigh’s remark about that “Loooziana” accent reminds me of the time I was home on leave from Ft. Bragg, which is in North Carolina. I came home, after spending the morning with friends, and my dad said, “Son, a woman named Karen called while you were gone. She says she’s your banker, and that she needs to talk to you about some money you wanted wired.”<br /><br />I <i>did</i> want some money wired from my bank, but I didn’t know anybody named Karen. And it was a small bank; I knew all the tellers. A second later, it hit me. “Dad: when she called? Did she say, “Haaay, this is Kaay-yem,”?<br />He snapped his fingers. “Just <i>exactly</i> like that! So, you <i>do</i> have a banker named Karen!”<br /><br />“Actually, Dad. Her name’s Kim.”Dixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-81504233721966350962012-01-09T13:58:12.292-05:002012-01-09T13:58:12.292-05:00I knew an RN from N'Orleans who had the softes...I knew an RN from N'Orleans who had the softest (and sexiest) Loooziana accent.

We must have been channeling you, because we made up this list yesterday:<br /><br /><b>Top Reasons Crizby Can't Use a Cell Phone</b><br /><br /> 1. It comes only in black.<br /> 2. It only speaks American.<br /> 3. It won't fit in my handbag.<br /> 4. It won't fit in my jeans. ("What do you mean, stubborn genes?")<br /> 5. I can't see the keys without my Ned Ludd designer glasses.<br /> 6. My dog ate it.<br /> 7. My maid places all my calls.<br /> 8. I'm pretty sure it's not really a Virgin.<br /> 9. If God meant me to use a cell phone…<br /><i>my favourite… wait for it…</i><br />10. All the numbers are in Arabic.<br /><i>and the definitive topper…</i><br />11. "Wahh! I don't want one."Velmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922496600366632604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-91528510477880403432012-01-09T02:16:18.586-05:002012-01-09T02:16:18.586-05:00Ever heard NPR's quiz show "Wait Wait, Do...Ever heard NPR's quiz show "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me?"
