Sunday May 11, 2008

I went to church this morning and then had lunch with two friends from the church, June and Joan. Joan is a retired pastor and she preached at our church this morning. She had an excellent sermon. Some people in our church do not think women should be pastors. Joan's sermon was on Mary Magdalene and how Mary was the first to find Jesus had risen. She was the first one Jesus told to go and tell the Good News. John 20:11-16

After returning from lunch and walking Danny, I listened to my phone messages. There was horrible static on the line. I disconnected the answering machine and the noise was still there. I called the phone company and got a computerized voice, which I could barely hear. The voice said something about the interface on the outside of the house and a screwdriver. I went out with a screwdriver and had trouble getting the screw out. I went back in for my ratchet and it has disappeared. I tried to think where I had last used it. I pictured using it for my air conditioners but it was not anywhere around them. I remembered I used it when I worked on the hose reel. It is nowhere to be found. The other tools are all in the toolbox so I don't know what happened to it. Anyway, I had used the head of my electric screwdriver in the ratchet screwdriver so I couldn't use that either. I took a Phillips screwdriver out as the slot could use either and I managed to open the box. It had instructions on the inside of the lid. I got my phone and plugged it into the box. Bad news! The phone had no noise. That means something is wrong with my lines. I unplugged all the phones and still had the noise. The phone next to the computer is plugged into some kind of Radio Shack device that allows one to record on the phone. The device had three wires hooked into it. One for the phone, one for the computer and one for the recorder (I think). I disconnected the line that went from the computer to the box and plugged the phone into the box. Still noise. I either have to trace down every single line and disconnect them all until I find the culprit or pay a fortune for someone to come in and do it. Maybe I'll go cable. Anyway, anyone having to call me please use my cell phone.
