hmmm, yes. Richard Sharpe. Definitely drool worthy. My dear sweet brother
is letting me borrow his DVDs, now that I actually have a player. I always
knew the brother would be good for something eventually.

I thought that telemarketers couldn't call cell phones. The only two
telemarketing calls that I've gotten on my cell in the two years that
I've had it - when the telemarketer was informed that they had called
a cell phone, they -apologized- and stated that the number would be
removed from their lists. AND when Texas started their No-call list I
registered both my land line and my cell (I didn't want to take any
chances) but the fee I paid for the cell was refunded when they found
it was a cell.
I always thought they couldn't call cells because they would be
costing you money to listen to their sales pitch, whereas with a land
line all incoming calls are free.

Most know they are calls a cell number - the numbers are different.

You had to pay a fee for being on the no call list?

Yes, about $4 per phone number.

I did too a few years ago at deepdisountdvd.com. I for them for I think at
the time 9.24 with no shipping. They have since raised the prices but that
is still the best place to get dvd online I think.
I just brought up Boromir because people were mentioning Legolas,Aragorn and
Eomer but i agree Richard Sharpe is the BEST
For people that dont know Richard take a look.

You have to pay one in FL too.
I solved my problem with the HL people bugging me by cutting off my phone
service and then moving. Extreme, I admit, but it's worked. ;)
More ObHL: Whatever happened to Highlander the Broadway Musical? Are they
still working on that? (gods I hope not)

Thanks anyway, I'll just continue being rude. <g>
The opt-out thingy on the credit reporting agencies really
worked, though; credit card solicitations slowed to a trickle.
(Now, if I could just get them to stop sending solicitations to
my 80-yr-old mom, I'll be happy)

guys wearing poet's shirts that they've been rather careless

Well, yes, he IS tall. And blond. So are both my brothers
so the type doesn't do anything for me.

Hi
We also have a free no call service also just started and in my wonderful
state. IF you tell them NOT to call you again and they call you. You can file
a complaint with the Consumer office and you get a check for 500 or 1,000
forget how much... I love it also if you get the call and the caller says
hold on........ That will also get you a check. it is forbidden for a sales
person to say that to you here. (Massachusetts)

Neither does Missouri, and I don't believe Kansas does either.

Correction; it's not free. Mostly likely the taxpayer are paying for it
instead of only those folks who use it.
There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free State Service
OBHL; Did Duncan get a new Social Security Number every few decades? What
national citizenship is he carrying these days?
