And the women haven't stopped talking since :-)

`

Telephones at times have been the bane of my existence.
Most of the time actually.
There are people who like to talk on the phone for hours at a time. Literally HOURS. That means a minimum of two hours. I have known people like that and they enjoyed calling me and then droning on and on and on until my mind would just tune them out and wander somewhere else while they were babbling nonstop about something I wasn't the least bit interested in and they never seemed to get my subtle hints that I was on the precipice of setting my beard on fire and jumping off the roof if they didn't STFU soon and give me some frigging peace.

But I remedied all that by not answering the phone and letting it go to voicemail and then calling them back at 10 or 10:30 at night and asking them what they wanted. They didn't want to give their long-ass speeches at that time so that worked out good and at some point the worst of the babblers stopped calling.

PRECIOS and PRECISE, Ridge
