Go Away

I really don't care for telemarketers. I understand everyone needs to survive and make a living but leave me alone. With the Do Not Call list I believe it has impacted those telemarketer jobs. So they have tried a new tactic. Knocking on your door,

Personally I do not feel secure opening my door to total strangers especially when I am home alone. Too much crap goes on in the outside world. When someone rings my bell I look out the kitchen window to see if I know who it is. If I don't too bad I do not answer my door. Unfortunately if I'm in the front part of the house I need to go to the door and look out the window next to the door.

This morning that happened - I went to the door looked out and a young kid was standing at my door talking on his cell phone with a flyer in his hand. First - how dare you invade my home space talking on your cell phone. If you are selling something all the attention should be on the prospective customer. Second - where is your vehicle and why are you walking door to door?

Solicitor sees me and holds up his flyer while still chatting on the cell phone and says something about tree service. I politely say - "No thanks, I don't need anything." A few minutes later I look out side and the turd has dropped his flyer by my front door. RUDE. Something is wrong here and I don't think it's me.

So to get myself out of my annoying, negative bad mood I look at a flower photo I took this weekend and think - HAPPY THOUGHTS!!!!!

FREE Speech

Yesterday in my mailbox I received this flyer with my name printed on it. These mail flyer's are getting right up there next to telemarketers calling at dinner time.
This particular flyer with my name on it sports this huge color image of a clogged artery. Pretty gross. The text right next to the disgusting image states - We can actually see inside YOUR arteries - to help prevent strokes, aneurysms and cardiovascular disease.

Okay who gave you the right to look inside at MY arteries. Isn't there a law against this? Invasion of privacy - the HIPPA law. I know as Americans we have the right of FREE speech and freedom of the press. But this is way over the top.

Get out of my arteries. Stop scaring me.

Then at the bottom of the brochure it states that I must get tested immediately to save myself from sudden death. There is a charge for this service. $199.00 if you act immediately. I am urged to call an 800 number to get tested.

Wait this isn't even my artery. This is a scare tactic used to remove my dwindling cash from my hands.

Since they cannot harass us on the telephone anymore they have decided to harass us by mail. With colored photos of diseased arteries. What's next? A color picture of my filled colon?
