Yes: your condo in Orange. It was for your housewarming party (actually, the SECOND housewarming since we couldn't make the first).

I believe it was on Yahoo Maps. Although it looks like they are correct now.

Curious. Do you recall where it sent you?

If I recall correctly, it had us turn RIGHT on Flower. But it has been so long, I don't remember much beyond that.

I wonder if it was just confusion over the fact that Flower turns left, then back right, while Palmyra turns left then turns into Flower at the intersection of Flower, Flower, and Palmyra. Whoever decided on the street naming in that area was clearly intoxicated.

I believe Snowflake and I had the same issue. I know it had you go the wrong direction but we soon figured it out.

I just want the yellow pages people to quit calling my office literally 8-10 times a day and I have no idea the country of origin, but I honestly can barely understand them. And if I keep hanging up on you that means I really don't want to talk to you.

Them and toner sales people.

Actually we get - and I'm serious on various differnt lines at least 6-10 calls daily of a recording that tells us it's the second warning that the warranty on our car has expired. I've stayed on the line and hit the "unsubscirbe" button I can't count how many times and we still get tons of them. Plus we have no caller ID so no way to avoid them.

That we did, for Erica's fabulous farewell bash.

For your home line, even if you don't have caller ID, you can get a No-Caller ID Block. This will prevent all calls coming in without a caller ID. People with caller ID block can then chose to hit a special code (like *73 or something) that will show their phone number for that one call and they can reach you. If you explain to the phone company that you are getting harrassing calls, they will do this at no charge.

I am not sure if it applies in this case, but it is an idea.
