In high school in the early sixties, we girls were not allowed to wear slacks or jeans to school and stockings were too expensive to wear to school, so it was skirts and bare legs in sub freezing weather. So glad that is not the case now.
I finally cancelled a phone number because the previous owners (I had the line for more than ten years!) all appeared to be non-payers. Messages about school loans, credit cards, mortgage – all different first names. Peaceful now.
I have a second cell phone for exactly this. I never answer it and do check messages. I used to use the land phone for this, but a second line on the cell account is cheaper.
Even worse for a married Mom with a husband who refuses to work. My sister supported a family of six and two dogs as a Nurses’ Aide. The creep still won’t work but won’t leave either.
Bravo! Hope to soon be on the “do not invite” list myself soon.
