Voice to text ftw. I rarely listen to voicemail, I simply read it.

My voicemail sends a .mp3 file to my email. I just listen to it that, no complicated passwords that way.

The long voicemails with a quick unintelligible number at the end are the worst.  On average, I am bad about checking voicemail.

Emails and texts are great, but an actual conversation over the phone can take the place of 20 emails or texts in many circumstances.

Does anybody remember "pager tag"?  (If your name is Tyrone you would not know what that was. =D)

Before the days of cell phones or even voice mail - you  call my pager and leave me your number to call back.  I call and get a busy signal so I call your pager and leave my number for you to call.  You call and get a busy signal so call my pager and ....

If your name was Tyrone I called your pager.  You called the number I left - if I did not answer that was the end - usually forever.  Tyrone did not waste quarters at the pay phone.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
