Wait, one more question. Is there a better way to word this: Turn this in on your way out to receive a special gift. It is a ticket to be turned in at the end of this thing and each boy will get a nylon bag. (not exactly a duffel bag, but something they might be able to use for a sleepover. I haven't seen the bag myself, so I can't describe it very accurately. It is going to have the school mascot on it...) Is "gift" okay, or is it better to say ".... special bag"

It's an evening with their Mom... in their mind, they already have their "special bag", LOL. I think 'gift' is fine.

Re: Federal do not call act... Is it true that fundraising is exempt from this? We keep getting these calls from people who say they are police organizations (one guy even opened with "Just a reminder to buckle up the kids"). They also try to "trick" you, cuz instead of saying "Is Julie home?" or "Can I talk to Mrs. Walker?", they will just say "Hi Julie," and go from there. It REALLY makes me angry. The caller ID always says either "out of area" or "no name no number". The first few times, I just would ask who was calling and then I'd tell them that "The Walkers" were out of the country for several months. Well, they keep calling. All different times of day and night (not past 10pm though.) And I kept forgetting to mention the DO NOT CALL ACT. This morning I did and they said that fundraising and the police were exempt. Any ideas of what I can do? I keep telling them to stop calling and they never do.

I am not so sure about that, Julieboo. I do know that all of those so-called "police charity" outfits are borderline scams. They do give some to police organizations, but it is such a small amount as to be laughable. I used to ask them if the caller is a police officer. Of course they will say no, but. Then I would ask if there was a police officer in the room, and they would squirm. Last call Bigdog had, they had a slick way around it, and addressed it before he could. Okay, here is your answer: "Charitable organizations. A for profit telemarketer calling on behalf of a charity must, however, honor consumer requests to be put on their private “do not call” list." Found that here: http://www.worcesterda.com/Consumer_Info/donotcall.html And here: "The National Do Not Call Registry provisions do not apply to for-profit telefunders; rather, for-profit telefunders must keep their own Do Not Call lists and honor donors’ requests not to be called." http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/tsrcomp.htm Okay, so you need to stop the telemarketer and very firmly state that you want to be put on THEIR Do Not Call list.

Thanks Juju. What really gets me is that they once got my usually very tightwadded dh to give them $$$. They insinuated that by not giving them $$, that he might be more likely to get pulled over or to get a ticket. So he gave them money. (They said if a car had their sticker on it, well, they couldn't promise that he would not get a ticket, but that he'd be looked more "fondly" upon... Well my dopey dh bought it!) I think that one was the Fraternal Order of Police and I am not sure if they are legit or not, but they really strong arm ya. These more recent phone calls were not from them though.

Julie, I always ask them for a phone # and that I will call them right back. Either they hang up on me or they give me a fake phone#.

just don't answer out of area or unavailable calls. if it's someone you want to talk to, pick up the phone or call them right back.

Does your answering machine have a Do Not Disturb feature? If so, press that button and you won't even hear the phone ring. I consider anyone that doesn't leave a message, a telemarketer of some sort. You can check your Caller ID to make sure you didn't miss any important calls.

Hmmm, I never heard of that DND feature. Doesn't that mean that the phone would never ring? So all calls would be me calling them back, right? The only problem is for the next couple of weeks, I am working a job that requires people to call me back and I have no idea what phone they may be calling me back from. I just hate to possibly miss them.

It is a feature on my Uniden phone, Julie. If you have one of the cordless phones near you, you would see it light up when the phone rings. I thought this might work for you not to be annoyed by that same caller. You wouldn't hear the call nor have to speak to them. Someone that you want to speak with would leave you a message or you could view the caller ID # and pick-up the call.
