853-5893 Angela can't make it to the phone, If your care to leave your name and number She'll give you a ring when she is home. Everytime I called her I got the message I listened to the voice coming down the line, I couldn't speak to a tape recording I redialed it a number of times. 853-5937 Angela can't make it to the phone, If you care to leave your name and number Please speak clearly after the tone, She'll give ou a ring when she get's home. I rang her this morning so very early The same old message coming down the phone, I should go and see if her house is empty Maybe she's poorly perhaps she's not home.
