Sounds like kids to me. Invite one of your NRA friends over on the 7th day if you’re bothered.
Go to the best restaurants in limos, or better yet, in the SL600 AMG you just bought.
Jet to the coolest places you can think of.
If there is any time left, buy tons of the best food, drink, and drugs and toss the biggest ho-down in the fanciest place in town.
No point in holding back now - but then it is probably just a wrong number 
Oh come on, it’s probly the most common recent prank call I’ve heard of. Nothing to worry about.
A little general advice for everyone. *69 is useless. If it is call blocked or out of area it won’t work. If you get a threatening or harrassing phone call dial *57 after you hang up. This puts a trace on the call. You can not access the information but the police can with a subpeona. Without this information it would be difficult for the police to get any information on who is doing it. Not saying this is necessary for the OP but it is good info to file away in case you need it.
OK, by the time robinc308 gets back to the thread, he/she will be into day three.
robin, how ya doin?
Having any weird dreams?
Encountering ropes/strings in strange places?
Seen any churning water, red with blood?
Dreaming about dead horses washed up on the beach?
Run into any improbably placed ladders or chairs?
Finding water leaking out from under doors that lead to rooms where there is no plumbing to speak of?
I think, before you die, you see the ring…
If it were me, I’d replay the message over and over to figure just which of my friends left it.
As my outgoing message is generally about Cthulhu, or something similar, my friends tend to leave strange messages.
I haven’t seen The Ring either, but from what I know of the film it does sound like a prank based on the sinister video.
Yep. Day 3. Still not dead. 4 days left to live - what should I do?
No weird dreams… yet.
No ropes or strings - although I got a bit of a knot in my shoelace - does that count?
I did see some churning water - I was boiling it for pasta. It wasn’t red.
No dead horses or beaches. It’s too cold for the beach. I passed a dead possum on the road the other day.
I run into chairs that I forget to push in around the kitchen table all the time. The worst injury I’ve done is a bruised shin.
No water leaking except for the dribble from the laundry tap.
I don’t know what all that portends - probably that I had a lovely dinner last night, need to tidy my house and have a visit from a plumber in my future. If I’m lucky, the plumber might be tall, dark handsome and single.
Despite the fact that I know that it is almost certainly a prank, I can’t help but be on edge. I’m not sleeping too well for example, and I’ve started carrying my mobile phone everywhere (even to bed). When my mum rang yesterday morning, I nearly jumped out of my skin. I hate that this is making me do things I wouldn’t ordinarily do, especially when my head tells me it’s just a prank and there’s nothing to worry about. I worry anyway.
I actually got one of those not that long ago, maybe a month or so. It made my day. 
I’d probably be creeped out, just out of surprise, if I heard that on my voicemail. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being overly cautious, but I will say that The Ring is the first thing I thought of when I read what the guy said.
It’s summertime; kids get bored.
I myself get odd “half-rings” on my cell phone, usually four or five in a given morning, about once a week. The phone barely even rings before the call ends, so quickly that no number is registered on my phone. So I have no idea what the hell it is; I’ve never gotten to the phone in time to answer it, and no number’s ever been available. <shrug>
On the scale of prank calls, it’s not a big deal at all, but even that’s enough to make me curious. (Maybe it’s a phone error?)
I have to say that this busted me up.
In seven days, die you will.
My name, not me, is famous and I used to get little girl slumber party calls all the time to ask if I am the “real” one. Trust me…kids are the same today as they have always been…bored and with a phone.
I had a strange guy call for phone sex calls late at night for about 6 months in the days before star 69 (an appropriate number considering his desires)…I never encouraged him. Trust me on that one. I finally just turned the phone off and put on the answering machine low and after awhile, he stopped calling. BTW, nothing to do with those phone calls, but we now have a “ringer free” house. For the last 6 months we have turned off the ringer on the phone and turned the sound off on our answering machine. We listen to messages at our leisure and call back if we want to speak to someone. No more interruptions during dinner, films or sleep. Sheer bliss.
But this was certainly kids calling who had just seen The Ring. Considering your situation, I probably wouldn’t rent that film for a few months if I were you.
The line was the exact one used in the movie. It definatly sounds like kids messing about. Try not to worry.
On the contrary, she should rent the film immediately and
make a copy of it and show it to someone else. :eek:
