"N"-Nobody is home!!



Growing up in the 80s, I can recall the tape recorder answering machines.  Not that my family was poor, we just did not get one.  A couple of days ago, sitting in the office, I recalled the tape recordings you could be for your answering machine.  Essentially some one had recorded a bunch of songs to famous, or recognizable, music.  And My favorite was "Nobody is home, Nobody is home!!"  (I was typing that in a low voice"

Do recall these little gems?   Did you have one of these recordings?  I use to record the message like I answered the phone.  I would give my customary greeting, pause (for effect) and announce I was not there.  Always funny to get a message half way through someone speaking.

To this day, I do not like leaving messages on voice mail.

Hello there, Tronster! Thanks for visiting my blog today. You probably thought it was going to be about baseball? :-( Nice to meet you, and thanks for the kind remarks. I love finding other believers in the blogosphere! As for this post, I STILL have an answering machine! My husband and I both have cell phones, but have not ditched the home phone yet. Maybe with the next cell phone purchase. We're so not cool. :-)

New Location

Well everyone. I am here, what a wonderful place. I am moved into a new apartment, went from three bedroom and a two car garage to a one bedroom. Had a lot of stuff to "consolidate" or in my opinion, toss to the curve. I want to thank all of my friends in Florida. You guys are the greatest. I want you to all to know that the appreciate everything that you did for me the last week I was in town. I love you guys. Keep looking back, I will try to post some images of the new place tonight. I have a few things to take care of around town, and then on Friday, I will be taking my father back home. I got a first floor apartment that you had to travel up 14 steps to get into. It was funny. My father has bad knees and agreed to assist me if I lived on the first floor. I sure fooled him. He was a great help, but he has decided that I have to make a lot of friends here, because he isn't going to help me move out. Just to recap I was in NE Florida, I moved to DC, My o

Sarajevo adventures

As most of you know, I travel a little bit with my job. My last destination was Sarajevo. It was a blast. I completed a difficult task which required analytical skills and problem solving. Two things everybody knows that I am good at. Overall I view it as success. I also had the opportunity to go snowmobiling with some colleagues. A good time was had by all. I did wreck my snowmobile, as the picture below shows. With only a minor injury. I am alright, but I did bruise my but pretty good. Tronster will spare you the picture of the bruised buttock that he is currently suffering from. After the crash, Tronster was interviewed for the local news. I guess my stardom was going to catch up to me sometime. So I had to grant an interview for all my adoring fans. "Bill" the mask also went on the adventure, however, it was to cold for him on the mountain. But he did go around town and find this totally cool T-Shirt. Please enjoy the pun intended in this post and l
