Forgive the interruption in voicemails from my parents. Several months ago,  they stopped being able to call my Google Voice number. I set it up to be a local call for them, and it worked for quite some time. Then, poof! It no longer worked from their home phone. And when I say "no longer worked" I mean they couldn't call my number as a local or long distance call. While I was visiting last month, I called their phone company and got it taken care of.

Momma and Daddy kept telling me not to worry about it. They said they could call from their cell phone. They were missing the point that I set it up to be local so it wouldn't cost them anything. AND, I set it up to record and keep their voicemails. I played a series of voicemails for them, and they understood. Here's proof that they got it. Daddy called last night and left this silly message for me.
