Do You Need A Wake-Up Call?

Do you ever forget an important meeting (like Mary and I did this weekend)? Do you ever wish your home or office had a dependable wake-up service like you find in hotels? Well, if you do, you will like Wakerupper (click the logo above to go to their site).
Wakerupper is a telephone reminder service that aims to make telephone alerts as simple as possible. Just enter the number of the phone you would like to be called, the time you want the call to be placed, and an optional 140-character reminder message. That's it - you will receive a call from Wakerupper at the time you have specified and your message will be delivered.
This is a free service, but Wakerupper also offers a paid service that has more features like:
  • Recurring calls - Handy if you are dependent on taking medicine at a set time(s) each day
  • 'Snooze' - When you just cannot get out of bed
  • Voice Reminders - When you would rather hear your own sweet voice...or maybe your kids

'The Twelfth Man' Song

I had heard it before but had forgotten that my niece-in-law Abby's great-grandmother wrote the song 'The Twelfth Man'. The Texas A&M school newspaper published an article about her today. Click on the picture above to read the story.
Texas Aggies down in Aggieland
We've got Aggie Spirit to a man
Stand united - that's the Aggie theme
We're the Twelfth Man on the team
When we're down the going's rough and tough
We just grin and yell, "We've got the stuff!"
To fight together for the Aggie dream
We're the Twelfth Man on that fighting Aggie team

Thanks To Abby For Sharing The Article
