Phil, Maybe his mom is on the speed dial.. There are many people that do not know their own cell phone number. I know this because I made calls to 911 and they ask if I know my cell phone number. My daughter's babysitter is a dispatcher so I asked him about this, he confirmed, many people don't and the cell phone numbers are not displayed when you call 911 (even though they are when you call someone else.)

A very sweet senior lady called me from the local senior towers about her Sharp 25" TV with no sound. My back is out this week, and I urged her to have a family member bring it in to save a lot of charges. Today, she called and said her son will carry it in for her. He is a (self employed?) exterminator, she explained, but should be able to work this in between calls. Well he got here. After filling out the invoice, I asked for his mother's phone number. He looked blank." I really don't know it.I don't have it written down anywhere" as he padded his pockets. Now, this is a fellow who apparently lives and works local, his mom is local, in a small town. He did't know his own mother's phone number??? Good gosh. Says a lot. Folks, our moms won't be here forever, and we won't need to remember the number long... Know your mom's phone number by heart. I felt so bad, after he left I just stopped working here and gave mine a "hello" call Ya know, it didn't cost me a dime.And I'll see her at dinner tonight. Phil -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
