During my Hicktown radio program today (blog talk radio), my switchboard showed a “111″ area code.
In fact, the number came up as 111-111-1111
??????
I was discussing a serious topic, Black on Black crime. I had one guest and two legitimate, intelligent callers on the line.
To be honest with you, seeing that 111 area code and that odd telephone number caused me to think that a troll was on the line, ready to insult.
Consequently I dropped that call and refused to allow it through.
After the show, I did some research and learned that although that “111″ area code oftentimes disguises annoying callers, there are some positive uses.
For example, if a person is using Skype, the number could come up as “111-111-1111″.
If you are using Skype and called me earlier, feel free to say what you were planning to say here.
In the future, warn me ahead of time that you will call in using an odd area code and/or phone number. I’ll need a heads up. Otherwise, I will drop the call.
Join us this evening at 7:00 Eastern Standard Time on Hicktown Radio.

Description of program:
Title: The State of the Black Family
There is an emergency in the black community, as less and less marriages are taking place and more black women are having babies out of wedlock. This topic will explore the fact that for our own survival, we MUST bring the family back.
The gorgeous sister in this picture is none other than Chaunda Walker. My husband brought her to my attention via an email that he sent me with a link in it to an article about her in AJC. (Hubby is really good at sending me interesting articles! He does not blog, but he helps me in other ways)
I read the article and immediately thought about Hicktowners. You all recall that I recently wrote an article about the fact that blacks are the most obese people in the U.S. and that we need to do something about it. LINK
Reading Chaunda’s article was inspiring. Here is a sister who lost 101 pounds and KEPT IT OFF!
Good news. I immediately contacted her and asked if she would be willing to be a guest on Hicktown Radio, my BlogTalk radio program. And I’m THRILLED to say she has agreed.
Mark your calendars!
Show date: Saturday, August 15th @ 12:00 noon
Get your questions ready for her. This is a woman who did it the right way. She took her time, changed her eating habits and got the weight off. Now she looks like a beautiful chocolate model!
I don’t have any guests. I was trying to reach Oregon Sister but have not heard from her. She was the main one nudging me to get back to the programming.
