    After visiting a couple of hours I said I had best be on the road
    and sort of stood there a minute, figuring I would be asked to stay for
    dinner. He wished me well and returned to work.

    Perhaps you should have hinted a bit broader that you could be persuaded to
    stay longer....?

    I sort of stood around a few minutes waiting for him to make the
    invitation then said I had best be on my way.
    But I'm known James for 40 years and he is some of an absent minded
    professor type. :)

    Sounds like Karin was sorry not to have had the chance to see you,

    I only met her once, shortly after they married and had returned here to visit family. Hers are from somewhere in KY.

    There seem to be quite a few "features" of that phone that I'd not at
    all like to have

    The oddest thing.
    Thursday my captain texted and it notified me. I had done nothing in the meantime.
    I had been sent a text a week before, by another person, and nothing.
    But being called to work a day, it lets me know...

    Oh, and it take a day before a text arrives and often get a undeliverable message when I send one.

    How unhelpful.... the reason for having a phone being communication...


    "How unhelpful" LOL Gotta remember that one.
    I have checked phone numbers to make sure the undelivered ones was the
    right number and they were.
    And the text I mentioned I didn't get a notification, that one took two
    days to be delivered!
