Save time when leaving someone a voice mail by skipping their greeting and/or the automated voice mail instructions and go straight to the beep.

There are cell phone shortcuts you can use to bypass the greeting and start recording a message immediately. All you need to know is which carrier is used by the person you are calling.

If you call anyone on AT&T or T-Mobile, press the “#” button. For Verizon, press the “*” button, and use the “1” when calling anyone on Sprint.

“7″ also works for AT&T, which is my carrier. I’ll have to try ‘#’.

You may be able to use similar shortcuts on business phone systems.

And now, some LOL cats on the phone.

Which reminds me, I can’t wait for the movie Get Smart to come out (June 20th). A throwback to the awesome Get Smart television series from the late 60s (created by Mel Brooks).

Also, Watertown, SD, received 19″ of snow yesterday – the new all time record for one calendar day snowfall. It snowed last night and most of the morning here, but no accumulation, just windy and chilly at 40 F. It’s supposed to get down to 27 tonight!
