I feel Disconnected from the world

My cell phone is not sending or receiving calls. I need a new phone or a phone cord for my landline. I feel disconnected from the world. This is one more reason I should log onto my Facebook page everyday. I still have to send e-mails to both my brothers about this, so that they do not get worried if they attempt to call. Unfortunately, I cannot send an e-mail to my sister because she does not have an online presence.

I posted to my Facebook page about this problem, so now all I have to do is send the e-mails to the appropriate people. I contacted my provider through e-mail and received a reply. It may take up to 48 hours for them to solve the problem, in the mean time I feel disconnected from the world. I am not, because my computer and television still work. I just cannot make any phone calls.

I can pick up the landline voice mail over the internet; I cannot contact anyone back until I get a working phone. This is another reason I need to get Skype. The problem is that I am not sure I have room on my computer for the software. My computer runs slow most of the time anyway, I have to solve this problem as well. I will close this post and send the e-mails.

Voice Mail, working online, and writing

Last night, I found out I cannot get up from the computer and into the breakfast room to answer the phone before the voice mail picks up. The phone rings four time and then the answering service (voice mail) picks up the call. I can probably change the number of rings before the service takes the call, but I am not sure I want to do that.

My home phone is a walk around phone, so I can have it in the living room when I am working or watching T.V. I have to get a battery for the phone because it does not hold a charge for very long. I have to remember to put it back on its cradle after using it. I will probably get a battery for it next month.

Yesterday, I received two calls that the voice mail picked up. One of the calls was important; the other was just someone advertising something. I thought there was a do not call list and this phone number was on it, I am going to have to check that out.
