I just got an invitation to join a class action suit against a company

I don't expect anything but who knows.

Not as good as shooting them, but it's something. Let us know.


I really expect I will get a check for a few bucks and the lawyers
will make millions but if it happened often enough the phone whores
might start paying attention to the DNC list.
I really wonder how many calls they have to make per sale but it has
to be thousands to one.
I know I see the number pop up on the tv (Dish supports caller ID), I
lift the receiver and drop it.


This morning around 10, I called a 79 y.o. friend, who was looking bad
yesterday and got sent to the hospital. Left a message on his cell.

Then 20 minutes later, I got a call, but no one there. 3 minutes
after that, another one. 5 minutes later, another. !0 minutes after
that, I hear noises like someone's trying to get his hands on the
phone, and eventually my friend comes on. He sounded terrible, but I
think he was the one who called the other 3 or 4 times.

The possibility of this is why I always answer the phone or listen to
the machine.


I just pull up the caller ID if I have a question. Everyone I really
care about comes up on the ID normally. The others come up blank, out
of area, unknown or even MY NAME.
