But I sure do get a LOT of junk mail! For awhile I was posting "Return to Sender" on it and mailing it back to them but now I just pitch it. When I get unwanted calls I ask for their home phone number so I can call them back when it is convenient for me - that is usually met with silence Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137773126591638229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128084663375627150.post-8753355389022362682008-10-13T17:52:00.000-04:002008-10-13T17:52:00.000-04:00The last time someone tried to phone me to get me ...The last time someone tried to phone me to get me to sign me up for their organisation (can't remember what it was to do with) I told them I'd call the police and report them for harassment. They never called again. LOL!<BR/><BR/>As for people at the door. I play dumb to the leaflets they're trying to hand me.

Certain charities I give to on a regular basis...others I don't and simply can't. And if someone running for office came to my door, I would probably think twice about voting for that particular candidate.

I've had calls from an AIDS foundation (AFCA), the police dept, the troopers, the fire department, the Purple Heart Society (MOPHSF) and friggin Wyndham vacations calling here.

I hope it helps the parts that ail ya.<BR/><BR/>All this warm weather is because of a deep low pressure system in the west that is piling snow in Montana and Wyoming, causing a high pressure system to sit on the midwest and eastern half of the country. I'm sure it will cool down a bit soon.<BR/><BR/>I love beingChicagoLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023674166511200133noreply@blogger.com
