Tom….. Loved your truthful and humorous approach to this every day annoyance of computerized telephone messages. Every household can relate to this! Your approach in writing is so true to your character: You purpose to find a positive twist mixed with humor to whatever negative influence the world throws at you…. And then, you write about it. Like: “Persistence keeps knocking at my door like an unwanted cousin looking for a loan. I prefer opportunity instead.” Great line!
Paul Harvey came to mind when I read your article. You held my attention till the end. ~Agapi~Yn Joanna
