You might be able to program your phone to block such calls. Personally I love getting on the line with scammers, who call quite often. They tell you in a prerecorded message that your insurance or taxes or credit card problems are so dire the police want to come and drag you off, please press one to talk to an agent, I press one, and someone comes on the phone and says something, whatever their spiel is, trying to tell me who they are and why they are calling, and I straight off contradict them, and tell them they are lying cheating scammers, and they hang up immediately LOLOLOLOLOLOL :LOL::ROFL::giggle::ROFL::LOL::devilish:

These are very binge watchable. There's one dude that always messes with them for hours, pretending he's an old naïve grandma. I love when they hack the scammer computers

I don't answwer if I don't know the #. If it's legit, leave a message.
I had a voicemail (machine recorded, so even if I had answered it would have been to a machine) the other day that says "we are attempting to reach GG. If you are not GG hang up now. By continuing to listen to this recording you acknowledge that you are GG. If you are not GG we will pause for a moment to give you time to hang up now......."
then continues with a message about GG needs to contact us because there is an issue with a collections agency blah blah blah.

If I wasn't listening to my own message then they just "paused to give you time to hang up" and relayed a private message ment for GG to who knows who :rolleyes: i mean what if it was the wrong number dialed?

Yeah, I go a call like that, a few years ago now, it was in May, and happened to be a Friday the 13th LOL. Thing is, at the time, I had no idea this sort of thing was going on as much as it was, for although it had been on the news, I do not own a television and do not follow the news feeds except what I get through reading here, and what my daughter tells me :unsure: Any who, they told me I owed taxes, which I did, and that the RCMP were on the way to my apartment, to arrest me and I would have to go to court and prove I was a good person :oops: Who better than a Christian to realize we are not good people (for God alone is good ;):D)??? I was ready to pay them on the spot, but of course, they cannot do that, they want ya to buy ITUNE cards... They even spelled ITUNES for me as if I am some kind of idiot LOL. I guess they would have sent someone to pick them up if I had followed through, but by the time we got that far in, and they were even counseling me on what lie to tell the cashier wherever I would purchase $2,500.00 worth of them, I knew something was really off. My daughter was very upset about it when I told her, but, well, it did prompt me to get some of my back taxes paid :LOL: And I got the day off work to sort it all out :D

I say I paid some of my back taxes, but actually, the fact of the matter is, they owed me money. I did five years' worth at that one go (see? I am a bad person LOL) and it was such an ordeal trying to find someone who does not charge an arm and a leg just to put numbers in the right boxes :unsure::giggle: And the woman I hired at a reasonable rate made errors in addition using her calculator, I was like, OMG, she cannot even add properly, but I closed my eyes to that in desperation and hired her anyways LOL. A couple of months later, oh yeah baby, I got inner promptings: CHECK YOUR MAILBOX. Uh huh. I don't do that on any kind of regular basis, it's mostly just bills, who needs that? :ROFL: Any who, I got two, maybe three of these inner promptings, check your mailbox, before I collected five years worth of taxes owing to me out of my mailbox, five years, all in order, with the final envelop containing a cheque amounting to over 10G. Yup. Nice, huh? Two days layer all our mail boxes were burgled o_O Thank you, God, for knowing me so well You realized I needed to be told more than once to check my mailbox :love:

Well a bump in the road or a parting Florida bad weather Tropical Storm Eta gift has made the Title Co cancel our closing and I am not sure when they are going to reschedule... This is one of the reasons I wanted to sell and get out of Dodge.../Clearwater. Sick of the heat and the hurricanes that have become more frequent the longer I have lived here. My first full day in Florida was September 1, 1979. So have been here for a year or 41 years...

Most of my life. Well we said goodbye to our furniture and when we got the new the closing was cancelled the truck was on it's way to TN. As luck and the Lord would have it we were going to throw two dinning room chairs away and one of the mattress sets. Jerry had a camping chair out in the car so we each have a chair to sit on and Melisa bought an air mattress so we have a place to sleep. I have one pot to cook in and one skillet so we can still eat as we were taking our food with us since we have to stay short term somewhere anyway.

We have the process started on the TN home and maybe this is God's way of keeping our short term housing costs down on the TN side. Got to look at the bright side right.

So pray now that there is no damage to our home from this storm and that the closing can be scheduled soon or at least within a week as Jerry quit his job and we are short on funds until our house closes here in Florida.

It looks like a good call to move. Seems that hurricanes will only be getting worse... I mean, just this year it's going on into November. We will be going nowhere from FL but when we have our house as opposed to renting, we'll have to insure it and that will be that...
We're thinking of you guys
