a little of this and a little of that

had an interesting thing happen on Saturday. I was going to my Artists' Trading Cards group with friends Chris and Faye, and Chris called to let me know what time she was picking me up, but I was out walking Riley. As I came up the stairs I could hear a man's voice coming from my unit. I rushed in - I had heard the phone ringing - to try to catch the call but too late. Chris called right back - she hung up when she heard a man's voice on my answering machine, and a message that didn't make sense. So after speaking with her I listened to my outgoing message. It was the man who called me up at 11 p.m. to say he was from google and was suing me. This was a silly message about me trying to ruin google. So I have been inert about doing anything. Tomorrow I am hoping my friend Laurie can come over and listen to the message with me - I suspect it might be someone we both know. Then I am going to call the police. I am also going to pull out the instruction manual for the answering machine as I think it is possible to record and outgoing message from another phone using a code. Since I never changed any codes as I never intended to access my answering machine by phone. If not it is someone with keys to my unit - and I know who that is.
