I have two lines of defense to help limit me from these kinds of calls. I have Nomorobo on my home phone and unless I'm expecting a call from someone and don't know their number, I let the phone ring. At one time I would take their calls and let them waste their time. When I got tired, I would say, did you say this is a problem with my Windows computer? when the said yes, I would respond by saying but I don't own a computer running Windows. I own an Apple computer.

I have a new phone set up, it's a call blocking system.

If the number is in my phone book it will ring as normal, if the number is unknown the person calling will hear a message telling them it was a call blocking phone and to say who they were then press a button and they would try to connect them.

The phone would ring at my end and it would say who was on the line and I had to press a button if I wanted to take it.

Mostly if it was a scam they don't get that far and hang up and all I know about it was the screen showing there is a missed call. I can bring up the number and I'll usually go online to a look up site to check it out, more often than not it was a scam call and I can just block it.

I don't bother blocking them as I don't see the point of filling up the space with all those blocked numbers as they'll only use a different one next time.

While the poem was well read, the accent is to me rather jarring, likely as I had the privilege of knowing Frost when I was an Amherst College undergraduate, serving as a college photographer. At that time, Frost would visit the college once a year from his home near MIddlebury,Vermont, and give a public reading in Johnson Chapel..

I have to admit that I do not use the Photo very often, as I have other options for the images I create, but I find the Designer (Adobe Illustrator ) and the Publisher are handy for the occasional vectors and flyers I still get involved in

First time in weeks, I feel content and satisfied, simply because I am slowly able to return to almost normal life. I still have quite serious balance issues, but a medication change few weeks back seems to be working. A few days now, the bad trembling I suffered from is almost gone, vertigo and nausea at manageable level.

It has been so bad, that simple things like typing (emails, forum posts, text messages), even hitting the right buttons to make or answer a call, have been too much. Now, starting to take care of my correspondence, checking forums to see if there's something interesting to reply, and get more active here.

Life goes on.
