I may have to go to an answering machine. I have voice mail now, and it won't let me delete them until their 5 minute speech is finished, but then, my phone company is the absolute worst!
You won't be out much money, I went to Circuit City for mine, came as part of a SouthWest Bell telephone. It was under $50 on clearance.
G'night.
I'm a huge fan of answering machines
Thanks to them .. I've stopped yelling in the phone HELLO! . thinking it to be another ()%(*#%*(&*@#%$&* sales call :0)
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Over at the Daily Kos they are on the attack of Joe Lieberman and there is talk of having Martha Stewart running against him in 2006

I might have missed part of your conversation, but do you know about the Do Not Call registry? I don't have the number handy but could find it. It has been miraculous for us. The phone stays silent 99% of the time now unless it is a friend or family member. We occasionally get a local survey person calling but that's about it. Viva Bush and company for getting that through.
