No and that would be a poll.

A good thing about having the phone right next to the computer is I can look up whoever is calling and is soliciting or polling.

Being home during the day means getting a call or two a week from one of those groups.

For the firefighters?  

Really?  

What was your groups name again?  

Are you sure?

Why am I not finding you registered in WA state?


Hello?

I've had an unlisted # for at least 15 years. I'm fortunate to not get any solicitations. I'm assuming it's because of the unlisted status.

This is the first I'm hearing of it.

That one can backfire on you.




An inspector stopped by recently from our local fire department when I was out of the office, and he left a short list of things he wanted changed. But the note was handwritten, and the name of the fire department had been changed to something I've never heard of. In addition, we've passed every inspection that we've ever had, with flying colors. So I dropped it in the roundfile, after thinking of my ex-wifes misguided contributions to various telephone "firefighter" causes over the years... which was a sore subject between her & I.



Turns out he was legit though. (It also turns out that he's an asshole too, but that's another subject)



Centralia Fire Department is now Riverside Fire Authority. Who knew?

I've been on the do not call lists forever. I have an unlisted number. I have both land line and cell. I get 3-5 calls daily on the land line and 1-10 weekly on the cell. I hate solicitors and bullshitters. And poles!

This thread is full of fail.

No poll

No pole

No real info

Lucky for you the board allows you to edit things. You know, like when you misspell a word in the title

The only good Pole is the one at your neighborhood strip club.

Its time...for the feats of strength!

First thing I thought of when I clicked. Other than "WTF else could this thread be about?"

This thread is now a couple of days old. In addition to the title being misspelled, 'new' really isn't a good description of the poll. or pole.

New pole?

Got stripper?
