Mail her a Christmas card tomorrow, hoping that she likes your gift. Guilt 
rarely works on these people, but they're fairly easy to spook. Caller ID 
and a reverse directory will get you her address.

I did a "Waldo" pencilectomy a couple of days ago. Someone I had tuned in 
February called with an octave's worth of action dysfunction. "Sounds like 
about a pencil's worth", I said. "Huh?", she replied. I said I could come 
out and evict the pencil for the price of a service call, or she could try 
it herself if she was feeling adventuresome. I described the procedure for 
her, and she passed it on to either the husband or the dad. A male voice on 
the answering machine yesterday reported a successful mission. I never have 
learned to just take the money and keep my mouth shut.
