London is not a local call
So I'm in the Atlanta airport a week ago. Everything is, as usual grounded. Weather. Again. This frantic woman asks if she can use my cell phone as her calling card is used up. I notice that they took a bunch of the pay phones out of the airport. I guess the days of hanging outside the 7-11 at the public phone are gone. Not that there is anything wrong with that. So, she tells me it is a local call, I say sure and she calls. No answer. So, she asks me if she can "call her mother." Now, what kind of a human would I be if I said no, don't call your mom, let her think you've just gone missing. So, I say sure. Counting on the Karma. Then she wants to call her sister - mom isn't home. So, I say sure. Then, I finally get to the lovely state of New Jersey (but, not the lovely part). And, I'm checking the phone to get a number for a call I missed. That is when I notice that someone made some calls beginning with 001. Two of them. And, I start to get it. I try to call Cingular to find out where I have called and if I will need to get another job to pay for it. But, Cingular is now AT&T and their hold times are 45 minutes. I figure, heck, I have her mother's and sister's phone numbers. I'm resourceful. If I need to take out a mortgage to pay for it, I'll find her. Turns out it is only going to cost me $1.69 a minute. Then, I get to the hotel and find a pair of diamond earings on the floor in the lobby. I looked at long and hard and long and hard again at those rocks. Then, I turned them in. So, by gosh, I expect some good Karma and soon. Maybe that means our referral is less than 12 days away.

Heck yeah, you have good Karma coming your way. Referrals are HERE!
Of course, that woman from the airport is probably laughing at you, and the desk clerk probably kept the earrings, but who cares!! You're going to have a baby soon! Can't wait for pictures!
