Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 I have a couple of questions,one is serious and the other kinda a joke 1. Do any of you have problems with your legs ...I dont know how to word this...kinda like going to sleep ,really numb, sometimes pins and needles, but not really painful, just really irritating, and then when you get up you cannot feel them? At first i thought it was caused by my lumbar problems but that has been being quiet lately, so i dont want to talk to loud....I just cant figure this one out,,,,it is driving me nuts..... 2. Has MCI been driving you all nuts this week.....I bet i have recieved 10 calls just this week....you say NO and then in an hour they call back and it is always when you are on a roll doing something and in my case if you stop me it (the roll) might never come back....anyway I saw this on the web and thought I wonder if it would work...tell me what you all think I suppose some degree of commerce would grind to a halt if telephone solicitors weren't able to call people at home during the dinner hour. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant. Now Steve stein, a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, has proposed " Three Little Words " based on his brief experience in a telemarketing operation -- that would stop the nuisance for all time. The three little words are " Hold on, please. " Saying this while putting down your phone and walking off instead of hanging up immediately -- would make each telemarketing call so time-consuming that boiler rooms would grind to a halt. When you eventually hear the phone company's beep-beep-beep tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. Three little words that eliminate telephone soliciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, I'll bet it will work. Next time I'll try it. Thanks, Carol in FL [ ] RE:Got some questions I have a couple of questions,one is serious and the other kinda a joke 1.
