Do Not Call Registry Set to Become Permanent
coondoggie passed us a NetworkWorld article about an initiative by the Senate to transform the Do Not Call list into a permanent institution. Originally individuals on the list were to have their place on the list revoked; up to a third of the people who signed up might have fallen off the list by the Autumn without renewing legislation. A move by the Senate this past Wednesday will permanently prevent salesmen from calling those who have registered for the list. "Aside from what telemarketing junk the bill does prevent, experts note what may also be a big deal is a provision that is NOT in this bill and that is protection for those other annoying time wasters: political robo calls."
Or not answer it all... I realized long ago just because some contraption starts making noise, nothing is forcing me to address it. Same with the front door and annoying friends, just because they can make some noise by hitting their meat clubs against some wood, doesn't mean I'm forced to get out of my E-Z chair...
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask where they're goin' and hook up with 'em later.
Thats a good idea, sometimes when I'm feeling froggy I'll answer 'em and say the most disturbing things that can come to mind... Some hang up, but every once in a while someone will just try and play it off and continue the discourse... F'ing hilarious.

They've had my dollar a few years now, and my mailbox hasn't seen any difference.
Just this morning I was pondering an amazing coupon for two $0.79 Taco Bell tacos for only $1.59. Or ten for $7.99!

I am going to guess that someone got a hold of every senator and congressman's phone number and created a survey to call them during dinner and to simply ask "Do calls during dinner annoy you?"...
Family Feud host:"and the survey says [ding ding ding] 100% said yes!"
That's very conscientious of you. A lot of people just kill themselves in the middle of the working week without adequate notice and don't care about the problems it causes for their employer.
