I used to get a lot of early knocks on the door Sunday mornings after arriving home from late Saturday nights.<br /><br />The two women finally quit their early Sunday visits after I answered the door one morning in my underwear and invited them in so I could learn more about Jesus.<br /><br />JimmyJimmy's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041064932971014718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941440508669188811.post-30758932463000460302009-07-18T07:53:05.456-07:002009-07-18T07:53:05.456-07:00I'm lucky on that agenda, being deaf I totally...I'm lucky on that agenda, being deaf I totally by pass the telemarketers. However it doesn't keep them from calling my cell. I have an automated voice that tells anyone who calls, I'm deaf and can only recieve text messages. Ha! The calls still go through. Once a month Paul clears them out for me, calling back the number and explaining I'm deaf. Hasn't stopped them yet. (Hugs)Indigo<br /><br />P.S.

I actually called up the BBB to see if this was the type of thing where they go door to door scamming older people, since a lot of older people live in my area.<br /><br />Then about a month ago a Ken & Barbie looking couple came to tell me ALL my neighbors have their security system that was approved by the Federal Govt. Really? I mentioned to them that my ex Jack is an FBI agent and I'd like to call him right now to find out if that was true. They left pretty fast. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
