    Default Really?

    0800- Phone rings, "hello, this is *****, I'm a paid professional fundraiser working for the NRA..." Seriously? Eight o'clock in the morning? The NRA just lost a member. This isn't the first call I've gotten from someone asking for money from the NRA. And then there is the constant mail asking for money.

    But there's more. 0830 phone call "hello, this is (unintelligible) calling about your Windows computer". I said "bite me". Click.

    Where are my meds?

    Default Tricky..!!

    I also now notice the callers ID's are from places you know and cell phones making you curious enough to answer. If they call the house I let it go to the answering machine (never a message). If I do answer I say nothing you will hear clicks as the auto dialer transfers to a body then hang up. They are pesky..!!

    Default Too important a cause to have me quit over a call.

    Not saying it's a good time but everyone is doing it now. You'd do better notifying them of your being upset and why. Just my opinion.

    my mom used to donate a few bucks to everyone that would call or send a letter asking for donations, from what i understand, if you have any dealings with people asking for a donation they don't have to follow the DO NOT CALL LIST so i keep getting calls at all hours of the day and early evenings. i set up my answering phone to say that with my caller id that i will not answer a unknown number or a blocked number and if it family just say my name and i will pick it up. well it is 2 years now that mom is gone and i am still getting calls
    NO BIKE AT THIS TIME
