I still remember the National Kidney Foundation calling me. Caller: Hi, Ms. Fox? [editor's note: they tend to pronounce MY name correctly] We're from the National Kidney Foundation and we're looking for donations -- Me (interrupting): WHAT?! You want my KIDNEY?! Of course, they really just wanted clothing and furniture and the other kind of stuff you'd bring to Goodwill. Ms. Caller paused and "uhh...uhhh..."'d until I said, "oh, I know. I'm just kidding" and then she started laughing. I left them bags o' old clothes and stuff to pick up since it kinda really made my day. Wrong numbers can be a load of fun too when you're bored. :) Playing with telemarketers can be fun sometimes, though. I still remember the National Kidney Foundation calling me.

Of course, they really just wanted clothing and furniture and the other kind of stuff you’d bring to Goodwill. Ms. Caller paused and “uhh…uhhh…”‘d until I said, “oh, I know.

Wrong numbers can be a load of fun too when you’re bored. :)

Gotta admit that was funny! Yesterday turned into a WAY longer day than I had supposed! If I don't see a PBR tall boy in the next few weeks it won't be too soon! I enjoyed the 2nd band very much and yes, hot rock-a-billy chicks in grass skirts and coconuts makes for pleasant viewing... ‘Hood recycling at it’s best! Gotta admit that was funny!

I'll work on it today. In the meantime I'll try to find you Maigh. That's so odd that it can't find me. I wonder why that is... I am not kin to any of those others sharing my last name -- especially that "Petra Nuesslein", I'd remember her. I’m such a Facebook newb that I don’t know how to do that yet. I’ll work on it today.

Facebook can't find you...but it did find four other folks with your last name. How's about a link to your profile? I also had a similar conversation but I wasn't as nice. Mine was more along the lines of "Hi, Mary. You're in violation of the GA Do Not Call blah blah blah". I made her stutter, and I feel okay about that. Er.
