phone calls soliciting funds for the FL State Troopers. They are legal, even if you are on the Do Not Call List. When they do call, I have played it a number of different ways, and I cannot recall what I said to the last guy, but he hung up on me. :lol:

i hear that - they are bad about calling here too. the police protection fund has called every night between 6 and 7 for the last month.

my new problem are these darn pharmacy recruiters calling and leaving messages on my home phone about great career opportunities. i called the attorney general's office and they are not considered telemarketers so the do not call list does not apply. :angry:

scooterb...I receive a Christmas card from some politician in Oklahoma every holiday season! :rotfl:

Those "peace" officers calling about circus tickets for the kids makes me :pissed: . My standard is..."I don't do anything like this over the phone" and then quickly hang up....they are usually still talking when I do this. :wave:

My mother instituted a great policy. She told a group that because they were a cause she believed in, she would give them "x" dollars every single year, as long as noone called her from that group asking for money!

They didn't make it to the third check!

But, you might miss a call like these two I have received...someone asking me how I was...me telling them I was sick and they said they were sorry and telling me that once again I had won a three day vaca somewhere...I had to interrupt before I found out the destination. :roll: Also got a voicemail from the Jehovah's Witness lady the other day...teased me with part of a Bible verse and said to call or go online for the rest. Now, I am sorry, but that is so wrong!!! :nono1:

:pissed::pissed::pissed:I nearly had a cerebral hemoRAGE a couple of weeks ago...was outside mowing the yard & observe this Jehovah Witness "GANG" drive a freakin' mini bus into the neighborhood & cruise around the block looking for a nice shady place to park. Apparently "led" to my neighbor's long private tree lined driveway....they proceed to park & about "a hundred" WITNESSES scramble out of the bus and fan out in all directions, knocking on doors to impose their "gig" on my good neighbors. It was all I could do to restrain myself from putting my mower in 5th gear & chase 'em down SCREAMING w/ carotids throbbing:

"WHY -WHY - WHY would you be "called" to a peaceful, serene neighborhood (OK...disregard the crazy woman on the lawn mower!) instead of a rougher, needier, potentially more "rewarding" location ... say for instance ... a homeless shelter, crack house, or prison death row???" AAAARRGGGGHHH!!! :pissed::pissed:
