"I really was looking at it as reducing the opportunity for these people to make a decent living by limiting free speech, however after reading some of these post and juding the way some of you look at it, I am slowing changing my thinking."

Good thing. You get 3 a week? Try 4 or 5 a day! Some nights 2....some days 8-10 or more. When you have little ones that need a nap...and that solicitor wakes them up with their phone call...3 times in a two hour period or more...you want them to go away. They know the market...and they usually ask for my wife because I beleive they know she is home during the day. Days I talk off I want to rip the phone out of the wall. Saying "thank you, bye" gets old when your 17 month old (or my 4 year old) wakes up after you just get the laid down for a nap and you WERE looking forward to some peace and quiet.

It's one thing if my mother calls (I have to talk to her)...quite another when someone I don't want calling me does it.

LOL! Yeah Mom's make you do that, don't they...I always had to give the ole proverbial...YESSSS MOTHER!

Well, it definately seems quite intruding with 10 calls a day...that does kinda take it over the edge. Just as another poster put it there use to be a time when these people wouldn't call during dinner or after a certain time out of respect, but now it's full speed dial ablazin'...

btw I also like the asking for their "credit card and phone#" for using your time! That's classic!

Do you know anyone who served in the Navy? I'd get a bit of tutoring on some really solid vulgarity and obscenity....the truly gritty stuff. I'm down to less than five calls a month.
