I was almost at my acupuncturist's office this morning when I saw there had been an accident. It looked like an SUV struck a pedestrian, who was lying on the ground, in the crosswalk. Two big fire engines pulled up a minute later. I was once almost struck in that same intersection. Some drivers don't appear to even notice pedestrians.

Well, this an interesting development...Scott Rudin Allows Theatres to Stage the Aaron Sorkin-Penned To Kill a Mockingbird Following Legal Disputes.

I am cellphone-only. But I've been getting a lot of dropped calls, first with T-Mobile, and now with AT&T. I always visualize a bird crapping on the cell tower, thus disrupting the call. I'm hoping I don't have to get a landline.

I haven't had many calls dropped after the call started, but there are of course times when I just couldn't get service. For some reason, the Washington Center for the Performing Arts is a real bad place for my phone...not others' though.

I was glad to find my acupuncturist in her office, as I believe she has a black Audi SUV, just like the one that struck the pedestrian.

How strange. Sometimes I can't get service, either, but it's usually after the call's been dropped. I suspect it has a lot to do with how close you are to a cell tower and what's in between. But I'm just guessing. I didn't have this problem until a few years ago.

Larry, I'm glad Heller can fix the problem.

And now, I must be off. I'm going to the paper tech for Bunbury because I can't be at the full rehearsal on Sunday because I'm triple booked.

Be back later.

Friday night at home...I didn't like that idea a few years ago....now it's my favorite!

It is interesting how we change. I am glad you enjoy your Fridays at home.

Tonight we went to Beaches and had our favorite waitress which was fun.

Jane · « **Reply #73 on:** March 01, 2019, 05:35:22 PM »

We do have another favorite waitress but she leaves about the time we arrive. Today she wasn't there at all. We wanted an update on the gentleman who's wife has the seeing eye dog. He had some major reactions to his radiation and had been in the hospital. One of the managers was able to give us a brief update and let us know he was home from the hospital

Okay here's a question......How many DRs still have a land line telephone?

I gave mine up in August [I think] - we had had the number since 1963......

Over Keith's objections we still have a landline. I expect one day I will lose the argument.

Jane · « **Reply #75 on:** March 01, 2019, 05:36:56 PM »

Today we spoke to Bryan on the landline and we could each take a phone and talk. I like that.

Eighty-nine, folks. That's not an oh no, that's a wow, what an incredibly long and wonderful life. I adored Miss Helmond the one time I recorded her on Jeepers Creepers.

I am not surprised you adored her. It is still sad, even sadder though that she had Alzheimer's.

That would have been terrible. I can imagine your relief.

Vibes for Heller's mother.

My cell phone rings into my hearing aids and I can also hear conversations that way. The sound is actually better than when I hold a phone. If there is a way for me to use this method, while Keith can also join the conversation, I just might be sold on only a cell phone.

Jane · « **Reply #84 on:** March 01, 2019, 05:44:39 PM »

Today Keith called me in the market to find out where I was (we do this when we lose each other) and my phone didn't ring in my ears. While at dinner I had him do a test call and not only didn't it ring in my ears but my phone didn't ring either. No way could I hear this.

He tried again later and it worked.

i have both phones but prefer the landline. course it may have something to do with working for at&t for 40 years.

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** March 01, 2019, 06:12:35 PM »

Do you still work for them? Sadly I do not like their cell phone service.

jan · « **Reply #88 on:** March 01, 2019, 06:36:09 PM »

nope. retired nine years ago. course they pay me a pretty good pension so i guess i have to show loyalty.

jan · « **Reply #89 on:** March 01, 2019, 06:37:35 PM »

my cell phone is with them, too, but i usually just use it for texting.
