Farideh:
I haven't had a landline in years. The only calls we got on our landline when we still had one was from charities wanting money, and they ALWAYS call during dinner.
Gus_Smedstad:
97.8% of the calls I get on my landline are scams. [robot voice] THE IRS HAS FILED SUIT AGAINST YOU [/robot voice]. Because, as you know, the IRS always wants payment in Amazon gift cards.
I can't quite bring myself to get rid of my landline, though. Just old habits at this point, I guess.

I get those on my mobile, too. In fact only this morning I had a robot from the Inland Revenue call to say I was suspected of fraud, and if I didn't press "1" to connect to them they would get a warrant and I would be arrested shortly. Then at lunchtime my wife heard a feature on this exact call on a radio magazine program.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Pleased to see a new side of Iris. And we know more about Willow. Yemisi has a wonderful name.
Agree that Clinton/Willow looks more interesting than whatever is happening between Clinton and Elliot.
Toxic masculinity needs to move to DISCUSS.
I have been made to feel like a pariah for not having a cell phone. I will cheerfully slam a door in the face of anyone who chirps 'Get the app!'

For a while I got a lot of calls on my cellphone to inform me that 'my Windows computer has been hacked'. Interesting, considering I have a Macbook at home, and my work laptop is well protected. I used to hand off my phone to my coworker at that point, who likes baiting those people, to see how long he could keep them on the line :D
