spam phone calls

 We have had a morning of spam phone calls...all "phoners" are English as a second language speakers.. all in a noisy room with other speakers and all asking whether we are having a good day ! At this point we hang up no matter why they are calling!  We wouldn't answer the "unavailable" callers but sometimes it's important.

Red and yellow flags have been posted all over the neighborhood... posting gas lines and another utility. Plus yellow spray paint from the street to the houses... No idea what is in store...

Bob went out to talk to one of the men...He said it is a difficult job. The computer print outs of the lines are not totally accurate and he has a "reader" to find the actual line. He was out last week when it was super cold and wasn't able to put the flags into the ground. At least today is warmer.

You're gonna keep getting spam calls if you keep answering unknown numbers. Just the act of answering, registers on their auto callers. If the ring shows anythings besides a number and name you know, just don't answer it. If it's important, they'll leave a message within a minute. Usually the spammers don't leave a message. Then just delete and block that number. I have a frequent call from a cell phone company that leaves a message to get half off of my bill, but I don't have that cell phone brand! Linda in Kansas

Occasionally "unavailable" have been important... remainder calls from doctor's office for example
