    I am on the Do Not Call list, but you still get calls.

    Thank you for the #key to screw up the robo calls.

    I used to answer the calls and when a person would talk, I just laid the phone down and walk away.
    Now, if a person is on the line, I have an air horn next to the phone. One blast and they are gone.

    If you have a young child in the house, pass the phone to them and tell them it's Father Christmas !

    My neice did just that with her young chatterbox of a daughter; Molly was on the phone for about half-an-hour chatting happily away to 'Father Christmas' !

    LOL! I love those who can be creative about this, wish I were faster on my feet, maybe I should try out my version of a southern accent.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,

    It's not fun for me when I have 2 children traveling home from a holiday at home and I get one of these calls, especially if I am ( say ) up on my roof or a ladder.
    I have opinions about people who do this telemarketing and it aint nice.
