~Wrong Numbers Still~ :-(

Doesnt that look good? :-) Trust me it WAS!!! :-) *note- WAS :-)

For months now I have been getting calls
for some person named Terry Carpenter. I
have NO idea who this is.. after 2 calls
yesterday and 1 today, so far, I got mad..I
called the number.. some Jefferson something.
I told the woman that answered that there
is NO ONE here by that name.. She said that
MY phone number is connected to 3 accounts.
AND.. get this.. because they list themselves
as something else the Do Not Call list doesn't
work.. SO.. I have their number.. and its toll
free.. I told the lady today that if they call
me once more I will get a lawyer and sue for
harrassment.. Cuz that's what it is.. She says
why didn't you press the number that says
its a wrong number? Well they obviously
don't believe me and keep calling!!! Other
than changing my phone number I don't know
WHAT to do.. I had thought of calling Charter
and seeing if I can put a block on the number.
Something has to be done.. Sometimes I don't
have my phone right next to me.. I make a mad
dash to get to it and its Collectors for someone
ELSE! I get SO MAD... They just don't listen
as the people they are trying to reach don't want
to talk to them either! So here I am with my
phone steady ringing for these dead beats that
DONT pay their bills.. I am SO SICK of this...
Can you tell? I am calling my phone company tho.
I may have to put my phone on no ID it wont
ring.. and I kinda hate to do that as some friends
that phone me are listed as unknown caller.. :-(
Something has to be done.. Maybe I will call them
10 times a day and see how they like it.. I hate
getting angry at these people that phone, but
geez o Pete.. they need to verify a phone number
before they call it!!!

I want you to know.. my pasty that Penny made
yesterday was SO good I ate every bit of it.
For a first time pasty maker she did great..
Penny says I am the good cook.. cuz I tell her
how to make things.. but she IS a good cook..
She cooks supper for her roomers.. 6 people
besides herself and whomever might show up!
Her grands or kids are always there. I should
have left a bite of it for her.I promised to do
that with the porcupine meatballs and I didn't..
I told her Donnie ate her sample :-)

Donnie is doing great.. kinda.. hes got to have
surgery next Monday on his sinuses.. Years
ago Penny was gonna have it done and the
Dr said its very painful and off work for 6
weeks! Well all that's changed.. hes having
the lazer surgery and they said he can go back
to work on Tuesday!! :-) I KNOW hes glad..
Other than that hes doing great.. Has a girl
friend that hes known for years..since high
school.. Over the years they have drifted in
and out of seeing each other.. She is my niece.
My brothers wifes daughter.. Very pretty and
very nice.. A short little blonde.. :-) I'm glad
he has someone besides his kittie :-) Kittie
takes good care of him.. but its just not the
same as people love :-) I told him he needs to
get a "friend" for kittie.. That's his cats name.
He has as much trouble as I do naming pets :-)

Penny came today and shes made another pasty for
me.. :-) Plus getting us all clean for the week end.. It
being Valentines day Sunday and her daughters birth
day she is planning a big party tomorrow, about 30
people she said.. Shes been busy making cupcakes
and things for it.. Me, Ive not done too much of any
thing... I know I have to re charge my chair today, I
just glanced at my power gauge and its down to 2
lines.. I get nervous when it gets close to the red..
They say its good to let the power go way down,like
with a cordless phone.. then re charge.. I don't like
doing that.. what if the power went out and I'm on
the red and cant recharge? Would NOT be good..
Plus I notice lately that my chair is down charging
more often.. that I'm having to charge up more..
I dunno if its the charger or the batteries.. They
put new ones in last year.. wasn't it? :-) Right after
I moved in.. So, ya.. last spring.. They should last
longer than this.. and it was a new charger, I dunno
maybe its me running into the door frames too much.
But I havta go and charge up when I close this,
which means I will be confined to my bedroom and
this chair for a while...Usually I recharge overnight.
Maybe I will just do a slight power up and when I
close down for the night do a full charge.. Decisions,
decisions :-) Anyhoway.....

Post time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE for today..
Remember... I shall return!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****


God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Hello Lois
    Yes that meat pie does look good.
    I hate getting the same call for another person...telling them they don't like here does not help much...It's been along lone day here...
    God bless you.

    Hmmmmmm,
    That pasty looks a real chair-shrinker to me!!!!!
    I'm sitting here in a glow of self righteousness! I've started a diet!! Eat one day, don't eat the next. So, I eat Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and don't eat the other days - just Orange juice, coffee and milk and a couple of "Rich Tea" biscuits (Sorry, cookies!) In the last two weeks, I've lost four pounds and I can get the belt on my trousers (Sorry, pants!) one hole tighter.
    You will have to get Penny to make two of those pasties and let her take one home with her. You would have to resist the temptation to eat them BOTH!!!
    Hope you manage to get those nuisance calls stopped. We are "ex directory", that is, not listed in the phone book, but we still get cold callers. They are a pain in the butt, especially for you, my dear, in your chair.
    I am afraid that batteries gradually lose the ability to hold a charge over the years and eventually need replacing. I'm afraid that may be what your problem may be. Might be worth having a word with the chair manufacturers to see if this is so.
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hi Mary,
    YOu would think they would stop after the awful way I talk to them but they dont.. I can find anyone on a computer, why cant they? lol.. its harrassment to me..and I sure am sick of it.. :-) Take some MerryMary time :-)

    Hiya Raife
    Naaa its not a shrinker, Your diet would work I think, you get LOTS of exercise.. I dont.. so I have to work 3 times as hard.. I only eat 1 big meal a day, then something light at night.. cereal or sometimes a couple cookies..Its the not much exercise that does me in LOL...

    Ya Im on the do not call.. but they call as a private person and get through.. I know everyone needs a job, but they should listen when told its NOT Terry Carpenter.. lol...

    Good to hear from you!!!
    Love N'Hugs,
    Lois ****
