I want to ruin the following groups*
Asking for the man or woman of the house is not a good starting point in
my book. Even if I were going to do anything other than hang up on a salesperson I would sure hang up then. Why not ask for the person who buys or uses cleaning products or "does someone in your home use power tools"? Why would you start of by alienating any thinking person. I hate sales people (could you tell?) Andy [man of the house] I used to do a LOT of phone work and it wasn't easy then and it's even harder now. I'm never mean to a person who calls me, because I've been there and done that. Kyla |

Kyla "Stormmee" we usually do the pork roast with just a can of pineapple, Lee Suz On Mar 4, 9:06?pm, Daniel Mahoney ?"Stormmee" DH slow roasted a beef roast for later... it was outstandingly complex, he took it out of the package, put it in the baking dish I gave him and roasted it... oh yes I learned how to turn off the oven in case he fell asleep and he did have to cut a bit off to make it fit in the dish I gave him. Lee Sounds like what I did for dinner tonight. Cut up a 3 pound roast, peeled and sliced potatoes and carrots, and dumped them all in the crock pot with some stewed tomatoes. ?Was pretty decent. And we'll have leftovers for quite a while. Sounds good, my mom also adds onions and Worstershire sauce which is good. My Grandma K added onion soup mix. When we do pork roasts I like to add rosemary. Suz&Spicey |

I'm never mean to a person who calls me, because I've been there and done that. Kyla My phone number is on a no call list. As soon as they call they are in the dog house with me but I don't even answer the phone today unless I know who it is calling. I do not, however, share your sympathy with people who call my home after they are told not to. In fact, the only people who should call my home are people I have asked to do so. If a person works for a call center that disregards no call lists they need to get another job because they are breaking the law. In general I consider calling people to "cold canvass" amoral. Unless an individual is paying my phone bill they have no business calling me unless I have asked them to. I ran a contracting business for 20 years and never did that. Now, let me know if you want to hear what I think about spam. /soapbox_mode |

They hung up on me too. I got one today. Mike had to take Emily the Ford Tempo to the repair shop. Guy: Is Mike there? Me: No, but this is Mike's mommy. Can I help you? Guy: Please tell him that the repair bill is going to be bigger than we thought/ Me: What needs to be done? Guy: Besides the new Cee Vee axle that we agreed on, the tie rod needs to be replaced, he needs a new tire, and a full alignment. Me: Wait a minute. We get free alignments from Firestone and the tire is already arranged from them. Guy: The steel is showing through. The tie rod must be throwing off the alignment. Me: I said that the alignment is arranged as is the tire. Guy: (talking very loud and very fast) He needs a new alignment after we replace the tire and tie rod. Me: But he isn't going to get one through you. How much do you want for all of this on top of the Cee Vee axle? Guy: Only $220 more, we're giving him the best price that we can. Me: How much for just the tie rod? Guy: But it nee- Me: You aren't getting the alignment and tire. So how much for just the tie rod? Guy: (sulking sounding) $90. Me: Good. replace the tie rod and the cee vee axle. We'll take care of the rest. Guy: The steel is showing on the tire. It won't make it on the road anywhere. Me: It will make it to Firestone, and that works for me. Guy: (Sounding desperate now) but we can do all that here. Me: But you aren't. Guy: It's not your car, lady. Mike has to authorize the work Me: Check the registration. My husband and my name are the only ones on it. You will do as I say or die. Guy: Are you threatening me? Me: Yes, now do you want to risk this? Guy: Ok, just the tie rod and the cee vee axle. It will come out to $250 + tax. Me: Good. call me when it is ready. We both hung up at the same time. He got me on sound, I got him on points. I lost the laptop all the the e-mails about Cary's birth were on in a somewhat similar way. Th elight bulb for hte screen had blown, and the hard drive was a bit twitchy so that you'd have to re-boot it several times before it would 'catch' and recognise the hard drive. So I took it to a supposedly reputable place for a *quote* to have it fixed. If it was under $200 they could fix it, if it was over that, I'd have just backed up the hard drive and thrown the thing inthe trash (it was a *very* old laptop). I specifically put on the form it was for a *quote* only, but I got a call a few weeks later to say that they had replaed the hard drive and hte light and it would be $900. I said no, I only wanted a *quote*, not actual *repairs*. They argued, and hten pointed out the fine print that they would charge for any 'exploration' and replacing the light and hte hard drive were part of hte 'exploration'. So I said, fine, keep the damn thing, I'm still not paying for it. I've never gone back their for repairs, but I am Very Very annoyed with myself that I didn't back up the hard drive *before* taking it to the shop. Yowie The real question is does the hard drive spin the other way around where you live? By the way, we have a technical name in the IT world for places like that. We call them s**th**ds. Andy |

that is so interesting, one of the best things about this group is seeing
the differences and in the end the similarities among all of us. DH doesn't fight me for them, and will eat them if nothing else is available, but I get them if there is other bread, I could never actually save them I like them too well, Lee Lesley via CatKB.com u27720@uwe wrote in message news:80fe6e5527b00@uwe...

I had a telemarketer ask to speak to my mommy once. I asked if he had a really good long distance plan. A few years back some telemarketer called and asked to speak with Mr. Fritzie F. Szczepanski. Louie said that would prove to be difficult since Fritzie was his cat, and not to worry about the trouble as the retelling of the story would outweigh any inconvenience. Apparently our drugstore sold customer names to a mailing or calling lead list. Store policy says that if one must get scripts for an animal, it is recorded with the pet's name in quotes, a middle initial F-feline, C-canine or A-avian, and the surname of the human own...servant.
