Yippee.

You guys should have told me about that years ago!

Now we can only hope that all the nuisance callers, who used to call
your landline, get your cellphone number.

"We" would hope that? Only an asshole would hope that.



Another evening of mindless bons mots from Alex, eh?


You write, "Now we can only hope that all the nuisance callers, who used to call

Is that narcissistic behavior? Run upstairs and ask the 'southern belle'.



Hey jackass, I deserve the credit for that line.
Can't y'all do anything right?

So you're proud of your narcissistic behavior? Sorry I credited the wrong person.

Therefore, you're included in the "we".


Your we includes only you and Krause.
Don't include us in your mindless dribble.


No one decent would insult decent dribble by including vomitus such as
you and your buddies here...but you guys surely qualify as mindless.
We're still trying to figure out how low the standards were at the time
you got into the navy,

Since you that are that proud of your "line", share it with your wife.
Then find a divorce lawyer.

....

But at least with a smart phone you can easily block the unwanted numbers...

That does not help much when the spammers are using caller ID
spoofers. The number keeps changing.

You're right. I don't even bother blocking them unless I see the same caller and number several
times. I just don't answer unrecognized numbers. If folks start to leave a message, and I recognize
them, then they'll get answered. Otherwise it doesn't happen.


Download the "Hiya" app and it will give you a decent caller ID for your
cellphone and disconnect calls from known telemarketers and scammers.
It works great!

Alex, my man, have you read the latest reviews on the app? I don't have an iphone, so I used the top
link. The reviews from the past few days don't sound very encouraging.

Although I'll have to admit, percent-wise over time the 140,000 'goods' to 11,000 'bads' is a pretty
decent ratio. I'm wonder if most of the 'bads' are quite recent due to a new version or something.

In any case, your thoughtfulness for this low tech guy is greatly appreciated.

BTW, when I went to reassemble my Ruger, I noticed the receiver frame screw sticking out about 3mm.
Found the right hex head to screw it back in, but that was surprising.
