I dislike the unwanted calls intensely .

I no longer answer my house 'hone, I check to see if they leave a message .

I occasionally get weird silent calls on my cell 'phone, it's getting to where if the prefix is the same as mine, I don't answer .

The J.W.'s came to my door the other day, i was polite and said 'you're JW's ?'

"yes we are" .

'Thank you I have to word already and don't need any more' .

"Thank you and have a nice day Sir" they turned and walked away .

No need to be rude or show firearms .

I hate cell phones because it's easy to lose it. I've already lost one

The crank phone calls have become completely out of hand. I no longer answer my house phone, my personal phone, my business phone, and I only connect the fax line on request. It's not an unsolvable problem, but someone has to make it a priority.

I sometimes "forget" it on the counter at home or in my backpack because I love work so much!

Well I have to admit. I am not the happiest when these you need something or other calls come in at about the worse times. The phone empires naturally preffer their revenue over pulling them.


I try not to be a rude and crude person. So I just say no thanks and hang up very fast. What is so suprising. Is after all these years the same pitches must still work. As they have to be still be making money from them to function.

Unless you're a technophile, it isn't .

Yes, I know my new cell 'phone has nay more features than I'll ever use, I don't care ~ all I want is a handy telephone and camera that slips into my pocket .
