I can't even remember the last time I even answered either of my phones, either my landline or my cell. Actually, I can hardly remember even receiving a legitimate call anytime in the recent past--about all it's used for nowadays is scammers and telemarketers, and that's why I never answer it. When I was growing up many moons ago almost every time it rang it was a real call but no more of course. I of course have caller ID on the cell and again almost never see anyone I know, and they rarely leave a message, just occasionally being someone trying to get me to borrow some money that I don't need or want--the scammers and telemarketers know better than to even bother. On that rare occasion that I see it's someone I know I'll of course answer it. On the landline I don't have caller ID so it just goes to the answering machine, and I rarely, if ever, get any message (if it's that rare legitimate call that I would typically be expecting they start talking and then I pick it up). It's really a crying shame what the telephone has come to, as I regard it as one of the greatest of all inventions. Alexander Graham Bell must be turning over in his grave.
