2. If they weren't so crazy, you'd think it was a joke.

They are serious, however.


Speaking of calls, I have been getting 4 calls/day/7 from 5 different places...most either "out of area" or the group/company name, but a different number each day. Since the "person" is a recording, there is nothing I could do to stop them...I thought. THEN, I remembered the Do Not Call list, reentered my number and you would not believe how nice and quiet it is around here...almost instantly.

I never liked Bush, but I do have to thank him for that DNC list.
