More Twilight Zone Music!

Sigh you all know by now I'm a confirmed Craigs List Addict. When it started in my city it originally had 40,000 members. I think I've heard as many as 1 million now post or check out the various ads - my favorite being the free stuff and I always check out the pet post.

Sunday I view - Extra Large Doggie Door still in the box - 25 dollars.
I reply to the post and leave my number. (Just the day before I decided I should get one for the garage door leading from the back yard.)

I still have chuckles from the last post I answered regarding a sliding door and I asked the woman who I spoke to, after finding out her first name, if she use to live at ....Ave. After her silence and question of how I knew that and my response that I purchased the house from her 10 years previous. I didn't think I'd have another of those "funny incidents".

Woman calls me about the dog door. We chat about dogs, bunnies and animal rescue and exhange our first names. After confirming her address I mention I am waiting for my Dutch houseguest to wake up before heading out. We both hang up and I glance down to see her last name on my call display. I call back immediately.

"Sue D!!!!!! at the same moment she blurts out my entire name after seeing it on her call display. Marianne D!!!!!!!. Her husband and I use to host magic comedy shows!!!
Stranger still, is my Dutch houseguest was working on a card magic book with her husband a few years ago as he had been one of the first person in Canada to befriend him. The last time I had seen this couple was when they had myself and the Dutchman over for dinner 4 years ago!!

The Dutch houseguest had just asked about him a few days before and I said sadly I've lost touch the last couple years as I believe they moved and his email and phone number were no longer valid.

So what were the chances that my Dutch houseguest is visiting until next Sunday happens to be at my place when I answered an ad to Craigs List to find that it turned out to be long lost friends???

Which just goes to show, TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!!!
Marianne,

I hate to ruin the magic for you, but clearly this is all an illusion by your houseguest.

I called you last night and got your answering machine. It was very weird, but the answering machine said: "Thanks for calling, Ron. To reach Marianne, say or prestidigitate 1; or to leave a message, say 'abracadabra' and begin recording at the sound of the 'poof'."

Quite fun!


PS How did the machine know it was me?
:roll:
Strange indeed :lol:
Ron, sorry about the answering machine (it's a Nimbus 2000) hanging up on you...it's been magically programmed to hang up on bill collectors, salesman, telemarketers, web stalkers and other annoying people.

Oops did I just say that out loud? :bow:
