Dear J

Hiya   [J].

Glad you’re feeling better today. With all the processing that goes on these days in the food supply, it’s a wonder we’re all no sicker than we are.

Let us move the phone talk time to 8:00 PM. Will call you then, tonight.

On the voice mail: Well, the question is moot if you don’t subscribe to voice mail from the phone company. Another name for voice mail is Answer Call. You have an answering machine instead? I have voice mail here, which costs roughly $6 / Mo. If someone calls my number and I’m on the phone, it routes the caller to my voice mail box, where they can leave a message, without getting a busy signal. Then, to pick up the message, I dial this 10-digit access number (from anywhere). A digitized female voice prompts for the mail box number (the home phone number) and pass code. Once entered, I can listen to new messages, and messages can be saved for up to 30 days. My voice mail also pages me when a new message arrives.

Yes, looking for a wooden cabinet. Oak is my favorite, and cherry is a close second. But they are both frightfully heavy. Walnut is also nice. *smile* My living room, bedroom, and office furnishings are all oak or oak veneer. I have two large rocking chairs that are solid oak. Each one weighs close to 77 pounds. These had the squeaking problem a couple weeks ago. But I applied a little WD40 to their joints and they’re silent now. The one has a loose joint that thumps when the chair is used, where the rocker itself is fastened to the frame. May have to pound that apart and re glue

Sunny here today also. Definitely is much chillier than last week. Coldest weather yet this fall. Maybe that is playing a role in making you sick.
