Oh, the telemarketers

Well, now that we are back in the good ol' USA, we have received several telephone calls from solicitors. Seems that once a person purchases a home, the "THEY" get it. That's when "THEY" start calling. Not only that, but also "THEY" send lots of solicitations in the mail. "THEY" aren't interested in welcoming me to the area/neighborhood. All "THEY" want in my money.

And...that just sucks.

The magazine "THEY" folks just love to call. I've had three calls in as many days. I guess I was so used to not having "THEY" call me. That's one perk of living abroad. Unfortunately, I fell for a deal I just couldn't refuse and "THEY" got me. Yes, I bought some magazines. CRAP. Now, I'm really on the "THEY" list.

Then the charity "THEY" called. "THEY" wanted money for Katrina relief. "THEY" wanted money to support the Amber Alert system. "THEY" wanted money for the State Police.

Then "THEY" ambushed drivers at stop lights. There "THEY" were, waiting for the light to turn red so "THEY" could run up and encourage folks to toss spare change into the bucket. "THEY" were not the firefighters who ask folks to Fill The Boot. I do contribute to that cause, so I don't mind them at all. Okay, within reason. I don't like the firefighters at each traffic signal in town. By the end of a short trip to the grocery store, I don't have and spare change anymore. As a matter of fact, now I don't have money for my groceries.

Anyway......"THEY" have found my blog. Frankly, it really bums me out that "THEY" try to sell me stuff on MY OWN BLOG! I would have thought that this would be one place that "THEY" leave alone.

I've started telling them that I'm the housesitter for the estate, that the owners died. That seems to put a quick end to their calling over and over. ;)

looks like; this is also a great source: Skin Cancer Mole Pictures
another great source of information about moles and Mole Removal is MoleRemedy.com
"These Skin Cancer Mole Pictures are pretty gross but they
need to be shown." "People need to see this stuff so they can avoid
skin cancer." Thanks!

Hi,
While I was searching through Blogger I came past your site, it is not really the information I was after about type of breast cancer but I did stay to read your blog and found it interesting and well done. Keep up the good work and hopefully I will visit again sometime and also find the information on type of breast cancer that I was looking for in my travels.

Quality sites like your's are few and far between, especially with all the rubbish that is getting around at the moment. Congratulations on a top site.
