People you feel sorry for as well as hate.

I don't know what happened to the "no call" list. I get about ten calls a day from irritating solicitors, many in Spanish. The good news is that for some reason there is a slight delay before these leeches can begin their spiel. So if there isn't a voice as soon as I pick the up the phone I hang up. I know. I know. There are those who say, "Why answer at all if you don't recognize the number?'  Obviously it's because I will be getting a call one of these days that will make me rich and famous and I don't want to not answer that call just because I don't recognize the number. Sheez!
