As of 2am last night, the money was cleared to the bank account.¬† Our problem for the last few days is getting in touch with Sean’s brother though.¬† He’s got the key to get into the house and for some reason his cell just isn’t working.¬† There’s no house line but there was really no point in having one when both his brother and the wife have cellphones anyway.
So Sean’s been doing some poking around on Myspace in search for at least ONE of his brothers wifes 11 siblings.¬† Yes, she’s one of 12 – I don’t know how her mother managed to handle all of that, but more power to her.¬† So we found one sister but she hasn’t really been around to respond to anything, today we found another sister who said that she was on her way in that direction anyway so she’d swing by the house and let his wife know what’s going on.
We know that his cell is still active, but he’s the ONLY cell user that I know who doesn’t have voice mail.¬† But at the same time, we know that he was in Florida last week when all of the horrible storms ripped through Northern Florida (where his father now lives) so we’re unsure if they’ve even made it back to Ohio for one reason or another.¬† It could either be the storm or the deteriorating condition of his father at the moment.¬† We both hope that it isn’t the case and he’s back safe and sound in Ohio with his phone off.¬† I guess we’ll find out within the next few hours.
We think that some “outside forces” have something to do with this though.¬† There’s a big sale going on at Kmart this weekend that doesn’t start until Sunday.¬† We were planning on leaving here on Sunday so we obviously need to be around for it.¬† The phone I’ve wanted for 3+ years now is on sale for like $40, and the alternative down comforter that I was going to pick up in Target for $60 is $40 in Kmart.
So we’re going to hope that we hear something soon and we’ll be making the trip out there on Monday.¬† I just hope we can leave early enough so that we can get to the hotel in time for check in.¬† Supposedly you need to check in by 2 at the “Quality Inn” but I’m sure a phone call stating that it’s an 8 hour drive between here and the hotel out there makes it impossible for us to show up at 2 unless we happen to leave at 530am – this just isn’t happening.
Don’t worry, I’m sure everything will work out, and you’ll find a way to get in touch with them soon. Good luck…
I sure hope everything is okay with them. It’s kind of strange that you are unable to get ahold of them. Everyone I know has voicemail too, it comes free with my phone but who knows, maybe they just didn’t like it or something.
Atleast by leaving late you get to catch the sales! It still kind of sucks but hey, it’s not all that bad.
I’m confused. What’s going on with your brother and why are you trying to get a hold of him? And you don’t know anyone else without voice mail? I don’t have voice mail. It costs more and I don’t really feel that I need it. I can see the number of who has called me so I can just call them back if I miss their call.
Deanna – I’m in the process of moving to a new state. My fiance’s brother lives in the area we’re moving to and he currently has the key to the house that we’re looking into. I’ve never heard of cell service charging extra for voice mail, even on prepaid phones it’s a free default option. I’m unsure of where you get your service, but charging for voice mail makes no sense to me.
Anyway – when your cell phone isn’t even ON then naturally you can’t use the caller ID to get your recent incoming calls. This is the problem we’re currently having with getting in touch with him.
Hope that cleared things up.
