I think I must be living somewhere between the Twilight Zone and Abraham. I am so confused right now I don’t know whether I am coming or going. I can only hope that this letter reaches you. I called my long time friend from my cell phone on Tuesday afternoon (with the number she has had for years) which was programmed into my cell phone. I left a message for her to call me when she had time. She called me later Tuesday evening.

The next day when I tried to call her again (using the same method) I received a “that number is no longer in service” message, thinking I must of hit a wrong button I called 3 separate times. I then called information for a number for my long-time friend indicating the city and state. No number was found. I gave the street name and address at first and then just said the city. No number was found. I then called information with my long-time friend’s previous last name. And, I was given for a number with my friend’s first initial and previous last name. I dialed that number and a strange voice (not my friend’s) said, “leave a message.” I did not until my fourth attempt (thinking sometimes the lines get crossed and perhaps a problem the Phone Company may be having would be fixed). I finally left a message in confusion saying if this was no longer my friend’s phone number but if they knew her to please contact her and have her call me because I have misplaced her number. I have not received any calls from that message.

I then tried to send an e-mail with pictures I had previously promised to send, to the e-mail record I had used to correspond with her in the past. The e-mail came back as “undeliverable?” Boy, am I confused!

Today I am sending a letter via “Registered Return Receipt Requested” explaining my dilemma, hoping they receive it.

The e-mail message I tried to send had a bunch of pictures of my house in its current condition and such. A “Virtual Tour” as presented by the Realtor I was dealing with earlier. And then, some pictures I had taken but not yet sent a few weeks ago.

My e-mail (the one that came back) read as follows:

Here are some pictures of my house; some great changes since you last saw it.

I have been having some Twilight Zone experiences these few days. (Thanks to Abraham, I believe). I think you will agree once I tell you about them.

Today I discovered termites in the guestroom. I have arranged to have the house tented next week. I will have to be out of the house Wednesday and Thursday and was wondering if you still have some place I can stay (with my 2 children) if I came out for a short visit?

How do you like the pictures? Call me on my cell: 949-555-1234 or home: 949-555-3421 as soon as you have a chance. As, I will have to make some other arrangements for Wednesday and Thursday if it is not convenient for you guys.

Look forward to hearing from you. I have enclosed copies of the pictures. Fondest regards, N

I am sure most of you will understand the reference made above to the “Twilight Zone” (a long ago, presented in black and white television series about strange and unexplainable events) but perhaps not understand the “Abraham” reference. So to further explain may I just explain, to me Abraham is a spiritual guide I consult with and he responds to me through a voice from the answering universe. I simply state my needs or desires, wishes and dreams on a daily basis and Abraham in kind responds back with solutions and answers.

I do not have an answer to this puzzling conundrum yet. But when I do I will put it in writing for all of you who read this piece to review in case you are interested in the outcome. So, “stay tuned,” everyone.
