Madder than a wet hen !!

At work this morning, I dialed my new home phone (my "land line"). It rang over fifteen times; no message!! Had I forgotten to turn it on?? Home for lunch, I double-checked.... I tried to record a message.... Finally, I called Windstream. Voicemail was not one of the features I'm paying for. I got madder than a wet hen!! Over $55. per month for phone and Internet but I'd have to pay another $2. per month for voicemail!! ~~ I jumped in my car and drove to the nearest Radio Shack where I purchased a compact, quality answer machine.
