Barry,

 BM> Ha ha!!  Last week was rather quiet as far as spam calls go.  Yesterday
 BM> had an 'oops' one: Caller ID said as from Georgia but the accent was
 BM> anything but Southern.  Let it go to the answering machine -- must have
 BM> been someone new to the game as when the answering machine started
 BM> recording could hear a female asking questions to at least two males.
 BM> Hard to hear as the phone's handset must have been put down, so either
 BM> on the desk or didn't get placed in the phone's cradle correctly.
 BM> Would have been more interesting to listen to the playback if was in
 BM> English!

  Years ago, a former Sysop and his wife (both are dead and gone now)
were "about to get frisky", when a telemarketer called. Not to lose
anything on the moment, they "let it all hang out" <G>. The telemarketer
was so embarrassed, that he hung up!! He probably thought he had dialed
a porn line!! <BG>

 BM>> Jenny's Burgers
 BM>> Jenny's Burgers - Melissa Smith
 BM>> Jenny's Burgers - Thomas Smith

  There's a franchise in central Arkansas called "David's Burgers", at
www.davidsburgers.com -- if you order a combo, you get unlimited french
fries.

 BM>> And the CID system displays only the first field when the desired one
 BM>> is the second if available.

  Blessings on the folks who invented CID, and curses on those who try to
block it.

  When I was on dial-up, I used a door from Sunrise Doors Software, called
CID Check. It took the number from the modem, and that was the equivalent
of a telnet email verifier on today's BBS's.

 NB> I've not gone to the text notifications.... I stay pretty much on
 NB> top of things anyway.... ;)

  I have that quite a bit...got word of a nice refund from a local area
hospital (I had overpaid)...that's going toward the house insurance of 
around $1035 next week.

 BM> I try to stay on top; reminders are helpful. :)  Here with the pharmacy
 BM> information using the cell phone's ability to connect to the Internet
 BM> and so their web pages to check on refill status -- in that use easier
 BM> and fasted than doing the same through the computer.  ...YMMV, of
 BM> course! :)

  My pharmacy calls me when a refill comes in.

 BM> ... Do not date women who have served more jail time than you.

  That may not apply if you're a redneck. <G>
