Pickles by Brian Crane for September 05, 2019

I am definitely going to do this the next time my wife misplaces her phone and asks me to call it.

Now that I think about, how does one — who lives alone —dial for a mobile phone if you happen to have a landline phone and don’t remember your mobile phone’s number? Or even if you don’t have a landline, you just search frantically for the mobile phone (there have been times I search and search for my misplaced mobile phone in my small apartment after looking more than once every inch of the place).

This is actually a good way. Works for keys, too! https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Mate-Finder-Anything-Finder/dp/B01L3VEC08/ref=sr_1_5?crid=D7COUPBT4SDK&keywords=locator+tags&qid=1567661891&s=gateway&sprefix=locator%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-5

This might work if the phone is on and Siri barks like a dog.

OK Earl, now you’re just being silly’

I call my phone at least once a day to find where I put it! If I dump the landline I would be out of luck!

Earl you have to whistle !

Is Earl kidding or is he really that crazy?

I have a phone bag that I wear. So handy, no lost phone unless I put the phone down and turn around. It magically disappears. Thank goodness for the land line.

time for Nelson to do a facepalm…

I put my cell phone # in my Contacts…never remember it…lol

Buh dum dum (rim shot, lol!).

And then he hears from under the couch, “I’m over here!”

Apparently Brian Crane has never used an Amazon Alexa.

Actually, that works on Apple phones. I’ll yell: Hey Sir! Where are you? And she will answer; “right here.” Try it.

My wife has two cell phones ( one Smart and the other not-so-much ) and she is always misplacing one of them. I have one and I rarely use it – except to locate my wife’s phone for her.

To borrow and paraphrase a line from Steel Magnolias, “Well done, Earl. Spoken like a true smart-a##.”

Maybe soo-eee!! might help

That would be a good app.

A couple months ago, I saw my Great-Niece with the flyswatter. I asked her what she was doing with it. She said, “Catchin’ ’piders.” I said, “Uh, okay.” She’s two years old. She walked around the corner, looked up the stairs and shouted, “Hello? ’piders! Where are you? Hello? ’piders!”

As bad as yelling at the dog “Where are you” and expect an answer!

Earl should go to Calvin and Hobbes to help Calvin’s mother call for Hobbes-he might get somewhere.

I have spent time looking for my phone, while talking on it…

my phone must be a cat – it never comes when it’s called…

Hmmmm. I have all Apple devices. I just tell my iPad to “Find my phone”, and it rings and I find it. Done deal.

what’ a landline?

There are times when I really wish my e-reader had phone capability so I could call it to find it…
