I read Shawn's post and felt really bad for her and her husband. She asked to please not mention her loss when she's on the air, but how many people are going to listen? Either they didn't read her request, or they don't care.

This is yet another reason why I think they should do away with those ridiculous phone calls. They serve absolutely no purpose, as far as I can see.

I hope, at least, they will do away with the phone calls for Shawn when she returns. Why take the risk of someone bringing it up, which will only be awkward and hurtful.

NO MORE PHONE CALLS!!

The phone calls should bite the dust.

ITA. They are awful, pitiful.

I agree. I remember hearing Jill ask for privacy after her loss and guess what? Yep, someone had to mention it to her. It's time to get rid of those for good.

Hi Ethel what did you pick up tonight?

I bought the Susan Graver sweater.

Oooh what color did you get?

I got the pink.

Oooooh I love the pink! It's my favorite!

Um I mean I bought the blue.

Ooooh I love the blue. That's my favorite!

I also got the red.

Ooooh I love the red. That's my favorite!

Excellent!!

Except you forgot to add, "Hi, Ethel...say hello to (name of vendor standing next to host)." Because, you know, callers are like little kids and have to be reminded to acknowledge everyone in the room.

And the 'shout-outs' to a caller's sister/hairdresser/second cousin/pet.
