Cheapskate Tuesday: How to save on your phone bill

It's 11:33 pm and I just got off the phone. The person was wondering why I hadn't posted yet. No pressure.

Sea doesn't have long distance on her home phone plan. So, how am I supposed to contact people back home without cashing in my RRSPs?! I once ran up a bill to Africa calling Whatever. It was $700, I thought it would be $70. I could sell drugs. I live close to the ghetto, this could actually work.

Today I came up with the perfect plan. It came to me by accident. Today I unknowingly called Lucky while he was in class:

"Hello?"
"Hey Lucky!"
"Hey beautiful, intelligent, princess!" (Ok, maybe he didn't phrase it exactly like this)
"Hey, I just called to let you know that I think you're awesome. You're the best. That's all I have to say, I just wanted to let you know."
"Aww, thanks girl. Hey, I'm just in class, why don't I call you back later?"
"Sure Lucky."
"Thanks again for the nice message, I'm so glad we're friends."
"Bye."
"Later."

See how that worked? 10 points for a thoughtful call that made his day, and another 10 points for getting him to call back and talk for an hour.

1) Special suggested that if the cat dies while she is at home with me, that I just go to the mall. He said not to come back until it's dark. Just run from the problem. This is the best idea yet: my sis would think Ducky died while I was out. Brilliant.

2) People now e-mail me when they change their sheets.

3) Black hasn't called me again. He thinks I'm peeing when I talk to him. So does Special.
