Re:Archive of novelty answering machine recordings

This reminds me of a gag recording I did for missed calls on an early cell phone. Back in those days it wasn't uncommon to get a recorded error message along the lines of "Wireless Provider error 123: explanation of reason you're getting this error". I recorded a message in my best imitation of the error voice that said "Wireless Provider error 427: The wireless customer you're attempting to contact has passed away. Leave a message and we'll be sure to pass it on to their next-of-kin". This message lasted until the first time I missed a call from my mother, who was understandable very upset!

We were riding go karts as part of a friend's bachelor party. I had a hard time fitting in the kart and mine was noticeably slower than the rest. My nerves were on edge and my heart was palpitating the whole time we were driving. I had always been overweight, but up until then I was able to tell myself that it had never kept me from doing anything I wanted to do. That was the kick in the pants I needed to see how my inattention to my health was limiting me and directly lead to losing over 150 pounds.

Thank you! That site's ad-to-content ratio was ramping up my clickbait detectors and made me bounce before I found this.

This was fun, my two cents:
I think backspace should count as a keystroke within the same sentence for the purpose of delaying deletion.
It would be really cool for this to dump your content into a rich text editor when your time is up for spell check, cleaning, and editing before download.

I created an account to say that's really cool. I love seeing business that serve under-represented groups in the tech world.
