This is where a caller display is useful on a phone.<br /><br />Times have changed and there are a lot of people (at least in the UK) who simply need someone to talk to.

He always confesses.<br /><br />In my state when it's time to vote for President, we also have state, county, and local elections on the same day. It's not unusual to receive 4-5 calls a day, prior to voting day. Then there's the long, long standing in line time, waiting to vote. I think it's all by design so people will be discouraged to vote.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment and visit!Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-84896894772460128182012-06-12T00:26:18.382-04:002012-06-12T00:26:18.382-04:00Hi Dixie.
