I'm happy you have your instincts iin place

That is a terrible ripoff for a 69 year old woman and dance lessons. I wonder why some people believe in these "something for all your money' scams.

I never answer the phone for telemarketers but, did once........... now this is kinda funnnnn-eeeee

I had no call display, back in Ontario, and it was the Royal Bank calling. That's my bank so I wondered what--- and about my Visa----?
It was a very young male's voice and he had an awful cold, was snuffling and coughing and proceeded to tell me about Insurance on my Visa....

and I said 'No' but I felt sorry for his cold and didn't hang up. He said something about all my bills being paid, temporarily, if I ran into difficulty...

and I said "I don't overspend".

Well then he said that I would never have to pay a bill again if I were to become disabled.......

and I said, "I already am".
(by now we are sort of laughing but he did say he was sorry re me then he said , well it will cover all my bills if my husband should die.

and I said "He's already dead".

and that was 3 for 3 and no point in continuing, but he had fun and I like the story because it funny.

Love
Izzy


Oh and YES, changing, I was trying to tie it into 'buying all the lies from an N".

Hops,

Thanks for helping me getting Roberta Smith's name right.  I think she is adorable.   Gee, I wish I had her spunk and her memory!

My Izzie-

I am exhausted and my foot is about to explode, can't get it in a shoe or even a sandal and can't walk on it- yet you made me scream with laughter as I sit here in my empty living room on the floor ( neighbors must think I've gone even nuttier!!!) with your telemarketer story! I usually ask telemarketers for their home numbers so that I can call them back when it is convenient for me to talk (they don't like this and have no answer)- you are so much wittier!!!

Love and Thanks for the Laughs!!!

Changing

You're welcome, dear ((((((((((TT)))))))))))).

Changing, I agree!

Izzy, your droll dry wonderful self-deprecating+spunky-all-at-once with is positively fizzy.

OH (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((changing))))))))))))))))))

I so feel for you and your foot. Explode with pain and swelling, I expect. It's such a pain having a pain that won't go away.

Yep. that telemarketer episode is for the books. and I, too, have asked for the number to call them back, but one woman had an answer for that She said, "This phone wasn't made for incoming calls"!! Hoot Hoot and I asked, "Oh Wow. Where can I get me one of those? "
SHE hung up.

Now this roaring with laughter in your livingroom all alone must cease...................... if you are not wanting anybody to testify against you as to your mental stability!!!

Love
Fizzy Izzy

Thank you hops. We were posting together. Wasn't that companionable?
