Ari, Ari, I love you!
Sometimes I wonder about people who call Trinidad & Tobago from the US.
Do they realize that it’s outside of the US and actually an international call?
Sales people and such sometimes make calls and since it’s so easy to dial, who knows.
We once got a refund check from some comics we ordered from a catalog. This was probably 10 years ago. And she was struggling to figure out where we were and to whom she should make it out. So, she just dialed! I’m not sure if I told her we weren’t in the US.
Like today I realized I missed a call this morning and checked my voice mail. The missed call was a 646 area code. I know one person with such a number but it’s quite unlikely that he might call me, especially since he doesn’t have my current cell phone.
So, I checked the voice mail.
A bright/happy/… young lady left a message, “Ari, Ari, I love you!”.
Well, may name isn’t Ari.
Poor Ari.
He may not have gotten the message.
Poor dear.
She may not have got to tell him she loved him.
Unless, of course, these are both good things.
Awe! That is so sad, and yet so embarrassing that the poor dear left a message, and it was the wrong number. I sure hope she sorts it all out. It would be a shame that she never caught up to the man of her dreams only because she dialled the wrong number.
Ari sounds like a very luck man to have such a romantic message left for him.
Oh love–Domed by a wrong number….

misdirected communications are such interesting things.

so…who is this person you THOUGHT might have been calling you?…
I got several strange messages on my answering machine upon my return to Guyana – someone’s landlady demanding his keys TWICE and a very very very (did I say very) drunk woman trying to lure some guy out to party. Or something.

I didn’t think anyone was calling me.
(Well, I saw missed calls or voice mail and thought it was you).
Geez.
All I meant was that I only knew one person with that area code who might call me (maybe if he had money or if he rememberd my existence or if he had my number…or maybe if he was dying…yeah).
I just checked my post..i said *slightly* possible which means I highly doubt.
I’d get a heart attack but then I get heart attacks if anybody calls me.

You guys get some good “wrong numbers,” while all I get are people trying to sell me something or they are demanding money for something. I’d love to get a juicy massage—oh I could have so much fun with that. he he he. And I would record it, possibly post it on my weblog. *wink*
Did the woman call back asking for her love, Ari, yet?

Software: I would use a program that is called audio city, free of course, and it is cross-platform on any O/S. Just take your microphone (mouth-part)from your headset, put the mouth-piece right over the ear-piece of the phone, or answering machine speaker, they must be practically touching, then hit record. Audio City will record as long as you have hard drive space. Audio City will allow you to edit the wave file to however long you want it to be: leaving out dead time and other background sounds. Very easy to edit with! I use it a lot. ..and did I mention that it is FREE.. ;)

Hey, if it is still on your answering machine, give it a try, record it… he he he *evil background music*

I think I used something called audacity once.
Well, my mike is one of those built-in ones.
And the input is for a line-in or powered mike (or so i’m told) which I don’t have.
But, I will try! :)
Edit: provided it hasn’t gotten unsaved yet :)
