My trick was to say "Hold on a minute", put the phone down and go back to watching TV.

I still miss the Indian Princesses and Persian Princes who always wanted to put money in my bank account.

For a long time, I answered, "Immigration, Agent Schultz." They have become immune to that , however with the new administration, it may be effective again. My wife bought a recycled flip phone for me when on the road. It sits on the charger in the kitchen, beeps and boops occasionally, and if I am close, I answer it. Usually a recorded message about school buss times, but often some official sounding person wanting John Jackson. Recently, I have been telling the land line callers who ask If I am ED, "No, this is John Jackson." I plan to use the above idea of house sitter and ED is on a round the world cruise because the Nigerian Prince payed off.

It was last night, but I spoke with my son for about an hour to wish him a happy T-bird day (they're 14 hours ahead, Thanksgiving morning for him). He's got a nasty cold after some field training near Naha, but is in good spirits all the same.

I ordered some truck parts from the UK last Friday night our time (Friday morning UK) and the tracking said they would arrive by Tuesday the 10th.
There are here a week early - YAY
And I only saved about 75% even with half the cost being freight which makes me doubly happy.

Three months back I needed an urgent MRI and it took 9 weeeks to get it done. A friend with a suspected stroke had to wait 13 weeks.
From the results the doc sent me to a specialist in Brisbane who ordered another more specific MRI yesterday.
This morning I rang the same place that did the first one and I am having this next one tonight at 21:00.
Because of the many complaints about the backlog of urgent MRIs and CAT scans they have at long got approval to do three shifts so that they are working 07:00 to 22:00 monday thru Friday plus 8 hours on Saturday and Sunday.
Having several million dollars worth of machinery only being used 40 hours per week always was idiotic when there were massive backlogs. The fixed overhead costs are now being divided by 91 almost certainly means the actual cost of each MRI is now significantly lower and the death toll should drop minutely.

Awesome score Chris! Those books were not cheap back in the day (about 1986).
