They will do all manner of things from setting the phone down on the tv to handing it to a child to answering questions with outrageous things. One recent question/answer session for a life insurance sale: Would you be interested in recieving information on _____? Please send me your most recent pizza delivery flavors. Sir, our company sells ______ life insurance and would like to send you ______. Well, I am interested in your unscented laundry detergent because grandmother can't eat pickles. In the meantime another son yells, "Get the chickens out of the house!" It's hilarious and a bit of a family challenge to come up with the higest number of answers before the caller hangs up. If nothing else, we enjoy the humor and find we get fewer calls. <br /><br />Your block--YUMMY! It may not be so complicated, but I can see how easily I would mix up some crosses. That pretty gray background is the perfect compliment for your colorful crosses.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617289233478118117.post-6945927662384783482017-01-29T07:10:56.130-06:002017-01-29T07:10:56.130-06:00Lois, surely before telephones, life was simpler, ...Lois, surely before telephones, life was simpler, but we must take the good with the bad for the connection the phone lines gives to all we know and don't know.

When they ask anything, including if I am the woman of the house, I immediately ask, "Who is calling?" Just recently I got a male voice, "This is Pat." Me: "I don't know a Pat. Why are you calling?" He hung up. I am so disgusted with these calls. As I have been typing this I got a hang up from an unknown number. *sigh*<br /><br />Now, to your quilting. It's beautiful!!
