The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

That is too funny. I wouldn't be able to pull it off and sound sincere. I would be giggling.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try it!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's going on my list !
ReplyDeleteHi River,
ReplyDeleteIf only I had the courage to do that ...
:o)
Cheers
PM
Most of those calls that I get are robo calls, but i am going to try and use this if I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteI can do this, totally.
ReplyDeleteLove it. If only our phone showed numbers...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I might do that.
ReplyDeletecheryl; I'm more likely to do this when I have a hayfever hangover headache, then my voice won't be recognised.
ReplyDeletefishducky; let us know how it goes :)
Grace; it's on my list!
Plasman; you have the courage.
joeh; let us know if you get interesting results.
Susan Kane; it's a great idea, yes?
Elephant's Child; it doesn't show numbers? Do you have your favourite people to call stored in the 'phonebook' folder? (app?) then when one of those people call you it should tell you the name and number.
Andrew; I knew you'd be willing.
Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteGood one River..
In reply to the last such call I received in a most officious tone, I said I was Detective Sergeant So & So from whatever police station...I made up the names as I went along...and the caller on the other end promptly hung up.
ReplyDeletePrior to that when I've been asked by name by someone calling me from India or elsewhere I've replied: "I'm sorry she's not here. She died a couple of days ago and we're having her wake...bye, bye!" That makes them disappear quickly, too! ;)
Margaret-whiteangel; I love this idea.
ReplyDeleteLee; my daughter does something similar; she says, let me get my husband on the phone. Usually the caller hangs up right away or else her husband says, "Detective (Inspector/ sergeant/constable) Harkman speaking, how can I help you?" That gets a hang up.
...I always tell these callers that I don't understand them and hang up.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.. hugs.. Barb xxxx
Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteMe too. I'm really going to try it.
Here is America "Land of the Free?" I'd be afraid to do that now days. Some one would show up at the house!
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh out loud. I have no idea why;0 Hug B

ReplyDeleteBarbara; I've been known to go "eh?" really loudly then put the phone down as if going to get someone else, then I hang it up 10 minutes later.
ReplyDeleteBelva; me too, one day. I rarely get blocked calls.
Mohave Rat; try it when you've called the police and they've said there's no one available right now...
Buttons Thoughts; made me laugh too, that's why I posted it here.
