ANSWERING MACHINE

I live in Wisconsin and my Mom lives in Neveda. With 1000’s of miles between us, I can only sit by helplessly when my sister treats my Mother inappropriately. The other evening when my Mom and sister had gone out for dinner, I left a message on her answering machine. In addition, to simply asking her to return my call, I gave her some information.

My Mom at 91 years old doesn’t know how to access the telephone messages left for her. Thus, my sister who lives with her relays the messages to Mom. But the next day when I asked Mom what she thought of my new idea, she didn't know what I was talking about. My sister had told Mom I called, but nothing more. The information was not important. It was simply a question I had about www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions.

You can imagine how angry I was. But unfortunately I have little recourse as my sister ignores anything I say and my Mom does not confront her in fear of angering my sister.
