What's Happening In Your Life?

I'm fascinated reading about these calls everybody is talking about! Do I get it right that basically people cold call you to sell you products and services that you have no interest in purchasing? And that you end up paying for these calls?

Yup--that pretty much sums it up. We do have a "do not call" list you can get your number on but they get around that and a lot of cell phones cannot be added to the lists. Depending on your cell phone plan, if you have limited minutes per month or pay per minute, etc... you do end up paying for those calls, which is irritating in itself but the calls are just irritating, period!! Like I said, I bet I get 5 calls a week on my cell phone from "Rachel at card services".... I HAVE NO CREDIT CARDS!!!!! And you can't get to a human to get your number taken off because it's all automated. Frustrating!!!

I have been helping my mother move from a big house to a smaller villa with no stairs. The big move is today. It's all been very stressful this whole week.

I can just imagine. We are facing this with my mother soon, so I feel for you. Hang in there!

There is a "Do not call" list for cell phones. I heard about it on FB. The cell phones went public a few months ago. I will try to find the number & post it here.

Brooke, glad to hear your Mom is doing better!

FP, hope your mother feels comfortable in the new house!


I'm back from the school trip! It was very nice but also exhausting! Take care on 50 children the whole day on is not always easy! We had great weather, no rain, so we were able to do everything as planned! We were several times on the beach, in the woods,there was a huge playground the kids didn't want to leave! And we were in the planetarium, very interesting, the kids found it too! All sat quietly in their seats and listened and watched with fascination!

Sounds like a great trip, Koala! Glad you & the kids had such a good time.

I've done a couple of school and pre-school trips as a parent helper, and I'm always EXHAUSTED by them.

Brooke, I'm glad your mother is doing better. All the best to all of you.

FP, all the best to your mom with the move. Moving is very stressful indeed.

Koala, I'm glad your school trip went so well.

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm busy, busy, busy, busy. I'm trying to do two things at once as I type this post. It's so busy at the office, it's unbelievable. At least I had a pretty great weekend. My two shows with James went brilliantly - I could not have asked for better audiences on both nights. The Entertainment Club at the retirement village we played on Friday 24 February has already booked us again for 21 December this year. Our second show on Saturday, 25 February drew a full house, and they all loved the show. We were exhaused at the end of it, but it was all worthwhile.

I haven't got any shows lined up for March as yet , but at least I've got rehearsals for the casino show throughout the month keeping me busy.

MF, glad to hear things are going well for you!

Koala, glad your school trip went well too!

It's terrific to hear about how well-received your shows are, MF. A full house - wow!
