The new iPhone update has a setting that when activated, sends any call not in your contact list to VM and the phone never rings. Could be a problem if you doctor uses multiple lines with different numbers.
I went to an AARP event yesterday, a movie (“Judy” with Renee Zellweger — fantastic — go see it). A very elderly couple came in and sat behind me and had the sort of conversation you could only have if you’ve been married 40 or 50 years. The event started at 6:00 p.m. This conversation started at 5:55 p.m.
Her: What time is it?
Him: Five to.
Her: Five two?
Him: Five to.
Her: What time is it?
Him: Five to.
Her: Five to two?
Him: Five to.
Her: Five to what?
Him: To the movie.
Her: What?
Him. Five minutes to the movie.
Her: What time is it?
Him: Five to.
Her: Five to what?
Him: To the movie.
Her: Five to what time?
Him: I don’t know, I can’t see my watch.
Long pause.
Her: What time is it?
Him: Five to.
I was choking back laughter and couldn’t help them.

I’m going for hearing aids today. All it took was fifteen years of people telling me I need ’em.

I guess we all need to get our hearing checked, and our eyes.
