I also have caller id deluxe where I can block the last caller in most cases up to six people. I have blocked some that way. Some it won't even let you block. Hope you and Rick enjoy your night out to eat.

I get very few calls. I have to re-register on the no call list. Pa. has one plus the federal one. I still get a telemarketer once or twice a month.

Your mother needs another beer" I sit up nights trying to find a good way of taking up their time and messing with their heads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-9141225513218189672007-11-12T18:40:00.000-08:002007-11-12T18:40:00.000-08:00I hate those recorded calls too-especially when I ...I hate those recorded calls too-especially when I am out in the yard watering or gardening and have to run to turn the water off, rush to get my gloves and garden shoes off and then run into the house--all for a recording! If it is a live person, then it depends on my mood as to whether I listen politely and then say thanks but no thanks, or just hang up or ask why they are bothering me. I don't know why they can still call when you are on the "Do not call" list. I do know that charities are exempt from that and are allowed to call.

We listen to the answer machine as the caller leaves a message and pick up only for family and friends. Usually these call centre people don't leave a message anyway.<br>Sorry you didn't get much sleep. I too got next to nothing last night. I woke up umpteen times and gave up at 5.30 this morning. That's why I am answering my alerts so early. Lol!<br>I hope you catch up on your sleep soon.

My problem is I let them talk, and I see my husband in the background telling me to just "hang up!" I eventually do, but it makes me always feel terrible!! What I hate most are thoe calls and mail I get addressed to my husband's ex-wife. Take care :) Julie P.s. Hey, you want some Avon?! LOL...

Simply because the calls would use Doc's deceased wives name. Here it is over 4 years later since she passed away and we still get mail and beggar calls for her. I almost always know when there is one on the answering machine, he winces when he goes through the calls. These people are heartless!<br><br>Hope you and Rick get a chance to enjoy each others company away from MIL for a bit. (Hugs) Indigo<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
