Round 41, Hour 17
May. 11th, 2013 12:00 pmHow's it going? I have reports of food, hot caffeinated drinks, and "research" of the Big Finish audio-play variety. Do we have words? Anyone?
(I also have, outside the Internet, a weird phone message announcing that someone is giving us a free "home medical alert system" - the sort where an elderly or infirm person who lives alone can push a button for help in case of a bad fall - and we just need to PRESS 1 NOW!!! to arrange to have it "installed". At absolutely no cost to us! O_O I presume this is a scam or gimmick of some sort, because we're a household of four reasonably fit twenty-somethings. The oldest living being in the house, proportional to species longevity, is the cocker spaniel... who is indeed elderly and suffers from hip pain and doggie epilepsy, but neither needs nor would understand a medical alert button that didn't give her a treat.)
