Hello Paul, I guess either a box of hot chocalte or mittens but I think there called gloves,Im always chilled here.Its very cold,Thanks, YBOP

You surprise me, Kathy, that you more human that I thought previous to this post. These telemarketing callers are people with possibly children that are looking forward to having a Christmas gift from their mom who has to work long hours calling people to earn a meager wage. I must confess I've been short with a few of them as well but felt guilty every time. I've only been negative in my response when I haven't had the time or patience to ask about their Privacy Policy or the Privacy Officer of her employing company. When I get a "huh" or "don't know what you're talking about", I ask if I could talk to the supervisor. Another response from me, if I have the time, is to ask where she/he got my number. If I hear anything like the web, I remind them that I have a web site, (I give her the www) that features Amsoil synthetic automotive lubricants and other car care related products and opportunities. If the caller only hears "lubricants" a click is usually the last I hear from them.

I forgot to add www.ftc.gov/donotcall/ that may be a possible solution.

G'day Kathy, I could have used some of these all week. The phone does not stop ringing. Everyone must be trying to cash in on the Christmas season. Thanks for the laugh :) Have a great Christmas & New Year. We could do with some of your cold weather..it is rather hot "down under" at the moment. Have fun Bryan

Kathy, These are very good and usefull! Have you ever reversed the tables and start presenting your marketing program to the solicitor? I enrolled two members by doing that. You have to take into account they are either being paid an hourly wage, or they work on commissions. I can't remember who posted it but there was one post where the person told them that they had called a murder scene and told the solicitor they had to stay on the line as a material witness.
