Nebraska

I don't know a single soul that I've met in my lifetime who came from Nebraska.  Yet this state name on my caller I.D. has been tormenting me for about 4 months.

When they first started calling...it was for "Make a Wish" for children.   Naturally, I gave.

Next it was for Breast Cancer....and naturally I gave.

Now I am on this professional fund raiser's sucker list.    I get calls twice a day...different times...sometimes there's no one even on the line....and sometimes I hear a woman's voice.

Now I know these telemarkets are just trying to make a living....and they do it with leads.   Once I say yes to them.....20 seconds later, I get another call to confirm my donation.

Well today...I took action!!       When the phone rang and I saw it was once again the familiar Nebraska,,,,,,and this very sweet voice starts to talk.....and I interrupt her and let her know that these calls are destroying my sanity....making me crazy....and   I can't stand them...and therefore, I'm giving  no more donations.

Very sweetly she said  she understood...and would put me on the 'don't call l list.  ...but it'll take about a month.

I thanked her profusely....grateful, I won't  be bothered anymore.

So long Nebraska!!!!!!!!!I just hope it  works.
