Does anybody read these?

Thought of the day...

I wonder if there is a statute of limitations on voice mails.

Say someone left you -- hypothetically, of course -- a really great voice mail. It didn't contain any crucial information, just a "Hi. I'm thinking of you. Bet you can't guess who this is" type of voice mail. Perhaps this person has a very sexy voice. Perhaps you just really needed this person to check in. Perhaps both.

How long do you keep that voice mail? It's not like you need to save it. It's not like it contains the answers to any of life's mysteries. But you listen to it and it makes you smile, and maybe squeal like a girl, just a little.

I wonder if my phone provider has a limit on how long I can save something there. If it will get deleted at some point. I guess it's OK if it does, since I'm mulling over whether I should delete it myself.

Some of you know that I've been known to watch DVDs or listen to a certain song on a certain CD to hear someone's voice, and this is more convenient. And, of course, on DVDs he never says my name with that little laugh in his voice. (And we should thank God for that every day.)

Oh, and since we're on that subject, exactly how many times can someone listen to a hypothetical voice mail like this without being totally pathetic?!?
