Barely there

Who doesn’t have voice mail in 2010? Recently I tried to call a business and got a busy signal. I was trying to remember the last time I heard a busy signal when calling a business. Where is the voice mail?

I had a friend once that when I would call her I sometimes would get a busy signal. I reminded her there is this wonderful feature called “call waiting” she said, “Oh I have that, you call and if I’m on the phone you wait.”

My wife needs to understand people better!
Category: Lifestyle Written by Gwendolyn Baines
(NNPA)—Dear Gwendolyn:
I have been married to a wonderful woman for the past 26 years. At least she used to be wonderful. This is the problem. Two years ago I joined a bowling club with some of my co-workers. After we formed a men’s league, the wives decided they would form a league. My wife stopped going to the bowling matches three months ago. She claims to have a dislike for the women in the league.

“Every time you meet another couple, you learn something new about yourself and relationships in general,” said Kenny Seymour, a 39-year-old Broadway music director who lives in Queens. “It was beautiful to be around a bunch of married people in love.”
