Phone limbo

There's just a few more hours. That's all the time they've got! A few more hours - that's Verizon. Once again I lost the dial tone a few days ago. Apparently it came back, but I'm not sure when. People have been calling me and all the phone does is ring and ring and ring. I've tried calling my number with the state cell phone several times a day, and again, all it does is ring and ring and ring. It doesn't ring here. The other day, the phone rang in the basement, but not in the bedroom. I ran to the basement to try to catch the call, but didn't make it. I wanted to see if by some miracle I could have a conversation. Not to be. Tomorrow my new cell phone is supposed to work. I am going to a picnic, and I'll take it with me just out of curiosity. I don't know who would be calling me on a holiday, but curiosity trunps everything. I will be glad to bid Verizon adieu. Then I want to see what happens when I call to complain about the bill for two months of non-service. It should be interesting. Surely more interesting than doctor's appointments!
