One day Pooh came home to find Piglet trying to reach the knocker to knock on his door. He kindly helped him and then said, "What a long time whoever lives here is answering this door." And he knocked again. "But Pooh," said Piglet, "it's your own house!" "Oh!" said Pooh. "So it is," he said. "Well let's go in."

It was a busy week with the phone ringing almost incessantly. At times it was hard to get anything else done, certainly not without interruption. One morning I needed to call a vendor to make a correction on a bill they had sent us. I pulled out the bill and dialed the 800 number at the top. Almost immediately I heard my other line ringing, which is not uncommon these days. I decided to hang on and hope someone else in the office would pick up the other line.
Meanwhile, the number I was calling rang and rang. I thought it strange that they wouldn't have someone to answer the phone. Finally a salesman picked up our line and I heard him say, "Hello, hello?" I thought, That's strange, how did our lines get tangled up? I didn't say anything cause I didn't want to cut off whoever was calling. Finally he hung up and my phone went dead, too.
Then I began to wonder out-loud what had happened and Larry, as puzzled as ever, said that the name on the caller ID, on the call he answered, was Sturdi-Bilt. Suddenly, I began to laugh! "I think I just called myself!" I gasped between spasms of mirth. (I never call our 800 number and obviously didn't know what it was.)
And so, we had our laugh for the day! I felt a little foolish and slightly put out with myself. After-all, don't I already have more calls than I can handle??
So as Pooh would say, "We can't all and some of us don't!"
