I know I am probably being paranoid and childish, but...

**thrifty gal** · 08-31-2004, 06:03 PM

a few minutes ago the phone rang. Caller ID said "Out of Area". I picked it up. A woman's voice was on the other end and she said "Is (dh's name) there?" I said "No, may I take a message?" She said "Yea, tell him" silence. I said" Ma'am?" A few seconds later-click. She hung up.

I am so sad. But, I know it may be nothing, but I have this feeling that it wasn't. What should I do? Dh is at work, and there's no way I can reach him, but then I feel like it would be a mistake to tell him. IF he is doing something, should I wait to see if I can catch him?

I never thought I'd be writing a post like this. Any advice? Any prayers appreciated.

Jennifer, I'm going to pm you.

I can't say much because I don't know any background, but based just on what you said, I'd maybe just casually mention someone called and hungup or say nothing at all.

There's just too many variables on who it could be.

Has he had a track record of anything or reason you would mistrust him?

I guess the last thing I'd do is go hysterical or go off on him. You won't get anywhere that way.

Maybe just keep a lookout and really watch and listen carefully and pay attention to things...maybe more closely than usual.

I pray that it is nothing to worry about.

If there is no past history of any thing, I would drop it but keep out an extra eye for suspitious things.

If there is a past history I would keep it in mind and keep out 2 or 3 extra eyes and poke around a little.

Is it possible that he simply has a common name?!
Perhaps it was a case of a wrong number, but the right name??
We get calls all the time where it'll be a kid that says "dad?" and GW says "yes" but it turns out to be a misdial...
We also get wrong numbers here for Katie's all the time...

I wouldn't borrow trouble & goodness knows I'm the queen of that!

I'll keep you in my thoughts & prayers!

I agree with what everyone else has said....

If I saw him on a corner kissing some blond,then I would jump to conclusions....but just a hang up...could be nothing...unless there is a history then I would casually ask him about it.

If it happened here, I would jokingly mention it and see what he says...

keeping you in my thoughts that everything works out for you...

I agree with the others here. I'll keep you in my prayers!

**Darlene** · 08-31-2004, 07:57 PM

I agree with Sara. Also want to send you a hug and let you know I'm thinking of you.

**captclearance** · 08-31-2004, 08:14 PM

I agree...... You will know the answer yourself...

**Goodwin17** · 08-31-2004, 08:15 PM

I agree with what Debbie said. It is totally possible for someone to call with the same name. I once had someone call and ask for me (by full name). I said this was she, and then the man proceded to tell me that I was needed to come in to work. I worked for the hospital then, but all my higher ups were women. I questioned him, and he said it was a plant somewhere. It was so weird. This was on my unlisted cell phone number, and the call was from the town I used to live in. Anyway, I really hope this is all nothing to worry about. I'm sending prayers your way, and a

for you as well.

I've gotten calls like that too. From credit card companies trying to sell him insurance, from phone companies... I've had women telemarketers call (and having worked in a call center,some do this for fun) and in a very smug voice ask for David and when I say he's not home can I take a message, they hang up after a quick "no" or "i don't think so" or just hang up without saying anything.

No worries!
