I get those calls too and I work for the police dept. "We" are not the ones making those calls, they must be scams. I tell the caller I work for the local P.D. and that I'm already a member and they still try to talk me into donations, I hang up on them!

We got another call last night, but they were selling insurance for our car that we haven't had in 2 years. We originally DID buy this policy, and when we needed it, they wouldn't pay ONE CENT for the repair work! I asked her why they have been harrassing us - that we have gotten about 20 calls from them in the last 6 months, she apologized and said we were being taken off her list-----------we won't hold our breath!

I don't get many solicitor calls during dinner, but if I did, I would ask if they could hold on and then go eat my dinner. They'll get the message and hang up eventually.
I also agree with you about Marsye starting a story thread. :thumbup:

I loved being told my job was strictly on a volunteer basis however, it was a good laugh for a few weeks!

Our local fire dept is also volunteer, and we contribute to their annual fund-raising - which coincidentally is right now.
