There's something wrong with you! There's something wrong with you! Oh wait...

It's me.

Tonight my 89-year-old stepdad called me with his cellphone. I kept yelling hello and he couldn't hear me. I called him back on his landline. He couldn't hear me. He has a second smartphone so I called it. He couldn't hear me. OH NO HE'S GONE DEAF!

Then somebody else called me and they couldn't hear me. The microphone on my cellphone is broken. Oops.

How many times in life have I blamed somebody else, when the one at fault is in the mirror?

End of fortune-cookie sermon. 😄

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
