There are lots of memories inside our minds - sometimes we just need a little nudge to coax them out.
What are the first things that come to mind when you see the word call?
My List:
1. When I was little there was a number you could call on the phone to get the correct time. A recorded voice would come on the line and say: The time is now "10:15" AM.
2. Back when I was in grade/middle-school - before there was caller ID - my friends and I would look up boys from school in the phone book and call their house. If they answered we usually got nervous and hung up.
3. Sometimes, when we lived in the city, my mom would ask my sister or I to tell our brother it was time for dinner. We would stand on our front porch and call out his name, "DOUG it's time for DINNER!" - at the top of our lungs. Somehow, I don't think that was proper city etiquette.

1. There was a number we called (back when we had rotary phones) FA1-2522 it was a recorded voice with the time and temperature.
2. Reminds me that I don't call friends and family enough. I'm not a very big phone person.
3. The song from Blondie - Call Me - and the movie American Gigalo. I'm still a fan of Richard Gere.

What are the first things that come to mind when you see the word CALL?
1. The lyrics to the song by Petula Clark, "Call Me"
"Call me don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around"
2. Something I don't do enough because I don't like making phone calls. I should call my Mum more, and I don't.
3. Caller. The person who would CALL our square dances back when we were in college and a part of the University's club.
4. "It's your CALL" something I say when I've laid out various options for someone and I don't want to make a decision for them. Usually a family member that needs to do it for them selves.
