WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Wakerupper.com

Wakerupper.com Now why didn’t I know about this site all those times when my hotel wake-up call never came? Well, now I do and that won’t happen anymore because this free service will be my backup from now on! All you have to do is log on to their website and plug in the date and time (in Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific) you want to be awakened. It even allows you to type a message, which will be repeated back to you when you pick up the phone. The automated voice that greets you is kind of creepy. When I answered the phone, the Freddy Kruger voice freaked me out until I realized what he was saying. But hey ... at least I got my wake-up call and my reminder message! You can also use it to call attention to important events, as a reminder to take medication or my favorite – you can use it as a great escape from a boring date or meeting.
