YOU'RE THE VERY BEST AND I LOVE YOU, DEAREST FRIEND!
I WANT YOUR BIRTHDAY TO BE AS HAPPY AS IT POSSIBLY CAN.
XOXOXO
UGH. You are getting “it” much worse and much more often than poor me. My landline is listed in the telephone book and I’ll wager yours is too. I have learned to say, “Sorry, I am a very poor widow,” and I immediately hang up. I realize that I might be inviting danger by the widow info, but I can tell by the area codes that the calls originate out of my immediate area.
I like to choose my charities. I don’t appreciate telephone solicitations and I sometimes relate that fact to the more insistent or pushier callers....LOL.
