  • THIS takes nerve!

    The phone just rang and when Don answered it was someone who wanted him to participate in a survey.

    He quite reasonably asked what the survey was about, to which the answer was, "I'm not at liberty to say."  e-browlift

    "Then I'm not at liberty to take the survey," he briskly replied. "Goodbye!" and hung up.

    They're not "at liberty to SAY"?  e-headscratch

  • What a crazy call.  He should have said "ok"

    Here's how it couldv'e gone:

    Bob (the caller):  Do you own your own home?

    Don:   Yes, but did you know that Jesus died for our sins and has gone ahead to prepare a place for us.  There are many rooms in his Father's house.

    Bob:  um, um?.......ok.  Is you water filter or unfiltered? 

    Don:  My water is filtered but did you know that "Whoever believes in Jesus, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."  I have rivers of living water.

    Bob:......................You have filtered water, so you don't need

    Don:  Jesus meets all my needs, do you have living water?

  • I wish he'd done that!

    And you never know...maybe Bob would have listened.

  • Thank goodness for caller ID. If someone calls me on any number other than my cell, I know it's a sales call/survey taker/pain in the butt.

  • Trouble is, an unidentified caller is sometimes Alex calling from the Blue Ridge, so when he's on a trip we can't - well, won't - ignore them.

  • We have caller ID too and love it. It's saved us from answering a lot of junk calls, but sometimes we do get fooled.  If no one speaks immediately, I assume it's a computer call and hang up. 

  • I love love love caller ID, but that said Unknown is often the hubby calling from work, private is often a friend of mine or my brother in law. But toll-free is always a sales call and sometimes the sales calls have a weird number. And I do the same thing as Lois

    And did you see Middle age guy is back? With pictures?!

  • NO! He is?

    I'm on my way!

  • I have my answering machine set to pick up after two rings.  That way I don't even have to go to the phone before deciding whether to answer it.
