Crazy 911 Calls is this week’s Mystery Question…and I have a hard time believing that three of these are true! But first this week’s photo and scripture verse.
I love rainbows and God’s promise he made through the rainbow. And I love Psalm 46. I thought verses 1 and 2 fit the photo, but verse 10 is one of my favorite verses: “Cease striving and know that I am God.”
Now for the answer to last week’s Mystery Question: It’s the girls’ turn to give their bogus breakup lines.
- Her answering machine: “Hi, I’m not home right now, If you’re Jerry, hang up, if you are any other available male, press two now.”
- “They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I hope you find someone who treasures you,” she said.
- “I’m just trying to find myself and I need to be alone to do that…”
- “I don’t have time for a relationship right now. I’ve got to focus on finding out why my makeup is pilling.”
And the answer is the very popular #4. And yes, pilling is makeup that clumps. 🙂
Now for Crazy 911 Calls Again–this week’s Mystery Question. Three of these calls were actually made to 911 operators. Can you guess which one I made up?
- “911. What is your emergency?” Caller in a slurred voice: “I can’t remember my phone number. You gotta tell me what it is.”
- The 911 operator received a call from a girl in gym class at the local high school. She was in a panic, saying there was a squirrel on top of a telephone pole at the school and it wasn’t coming down.
- When the 911 operator answered a call, a guy yelled he wasn’t crazy, but he’d just escaped his apartment and ran to the closest 7-Eleven. He swore that his roommates were in cocoons and were turning into giant crabs. Yep. He was high on drugs.
- An elderly woman called 911 and said there were two guys dressed in blue trying to break into her house. The 911 operator sent 6 cops over. It turns out it was the gas company reading her gas meter.

#2 sounds squirrely to me.
Author
Squirrely. I love that, Mary! Thanks for stopping by.
I think you made up number 1 because I still remember my family’s phone number from when I was ten. They’re hard to forget!
Author
I remember mine too, Pricilla! But, then again, if the person is inebriated or high on drugs…thanks for stopping by!
Rainbows are overarching. OK. sorry about that. But who doesn’t love rainbows, and they’re a good reminder of that verse.
I think you made up #1, though I can remember a time when I had trouble remembering my phone number because I never called it. Then I got married, and learned it pretty fast.
Author
Love your…would you call it a pun, Tim? And your logic. We’ll see next week if it’s #1.
Pat, I don’t know if it was a pun, but it was rather punny.
Author
lol!
I love these, you never disappoint. It’s hard to choose this week again. I was going to go with #2, thinking you wouldn’t repeat #4 two weeks in a row, but of the four options, I do think you made up #4, so that’s where I’m hanging my hat 🙂
Author
Glad you enjoyed them, Delores. We’ll see…
They all sound believable. I’m going with #1. I sure needed that Scripture and picture today. God is my refuge and strength a very present help in trouble. Thank you.
Author
Barbara, I needed it, too! Thanks for stopping by and we’ll see next week if it’s #1.
I’ll pick #4 this time.
Author
Hi Paula…most people don’t think I’ll have the same number two times in a row, but I can be devious. We’ll see next week. 🙂
I am guessing #2 even though it’s so strange that it may be true.
Author
We’ll see, Gloria. I like your logic!
I love the rainbows and the Scripture verse. Great choice!
I can’t decide whether it is 1, 2, 3, or 4. When I picture these in my mind, they are all rather sad. I think I’ll go with #3. It seems to be the most “out there.” I have a problem picturing him finding his way to a 7-Eleven and being able to use a phone if he’s that spaced out on drugs.
Author
We’ll see, Edward. But I really do like your logic.
I think #2 because it sounds too funny to be true
Author
I’m glad I made you laugh, Shelia! We’ll see next week.

We’ll see, Den. We’ll see.
Welcome back, praying still for you and your family. I love that verse. It always takes me back to high school choir, where we sang this verse and it gave me such chills…I really should look the music up and teach it to my kids.
Going with #2. I just…I have to believe high schoolers are smarter than that!
Author
Thank you for the prayers, Elizabeth. That’s what is keeping me going.
I love Psalm 46 and camped out on Psalm 10 for many years and almost used it this week: “Cease striving and know that I am God.”
I’ll go with #2 this time!
Author
Number 2 is very popular this week, Jackie!
#2
Author
We’ll see, Patricia! Thanks for stopping by.
I will guess #2 this time.
Author
We’ll see Angela. So glad you stopped by!
Love the scripture and photo!
#4
Author
Thanks, Caryl! Thanks for stopping by. And we’ll see if it’s #4 next week.
Beautiful photo. I guess I’m going to go with #3.
Author
Thank you, Diana. And we’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I’ll go with the second one just because it’s kind of strange. But maybe strange enough to be true!
Author
Hi Perrianne! So good to ‘see’ you. 🙂 And we’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
I’m going with Edward’s logic this week and say #3 is your made up one. I agree that if someone is so high that they’re hallucinating, I think they would not have the ability to think straight or have the logic to walk to the 7-Eleven & use the phone to call 911.
Unfortunately, I know someone very close to us that did drugs to the point of hallucinating. They could not even come up with a sentence that made sense let alone walk straight (or walk period). It’s sad really why someone would choose drugs when they mess a person up so much.
Anyway, every time I see a rainbow I remember God’s promise. It’s always encouraging to me 🙂
Oh….and thank you! I just noticed I was your September winner….yay!
Author
Love your logic, Trixi–agreeing with Edward’s logic. 😉 We’ll see next week…and I get goosebumps every time I see a rainbow. And thank you for reminding me you were my winner. lol I’ll email you your choices!
I’m going to guess #2 is false.
Author
We’ll see, Megan. 😉 Good to ‘see’ you here!
I would guess #1
Author
We’ll see, Natalya. It’s a popular answer. 🙂
guessing #2

We’ll see, MS Barb! Thanks for stopping by.
