With the advent of the caller ID we have been able to screen our calls pretty effectively. We do not answer 800 calls, any call from Oregon, I don't know anyone in Oregon, my alma- mater or any that come up as Private Numbers.
Last week a call came in from Safe Step Tubs, at first I did not recognize the term and then my wife told me it was the Safe Tub company looking to interest me in keeping me safe as I bathe. I guess that having joined the retired set, my name is out there and I can expect calls from Robert Wagner and his reversed Mortgage scam, the I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up folks, a representative from Chair Lift ( and I don't mean a ski resort) Company, Mind Your Business, a memory enhancing drug company, and countless calls from senior residences in the Sun Belt.
Thank heaven for caller ID!
