Wow. I can finally say today has been a nice normal day except for the fact the dog is sick and has puked in every room of the house. Poor guy’s stomach is all messed up, but it’s not something new that worries me. He’s got some serious allergies, and when his allergies flair up so does his stomach. I called the vet to double check, then I gave him his usual dose of Benadryl. He’s not running a fever, so we’re not going to give him anything else unless we have to.
Now if my phone would stop ringing I’d probably be able to lay down for a nap, but I’ve gotten 4 calls today from a company trying to sell us Medicare supplement insurance. That’s all fine and dandy, but I don’t need it because I’m not with medicare. I applied for medicaid since we don’t have insurance to cover the pregnancy, but other than that we don’t have anything to do with medicare.
I have a feeling it’s probably got something to do with my sister-in-law. She’s on disability, and she has medicare. She used to live with us years ago…and I mean like 6-7 years ago…when we had an apartment, but that was not only in another town but was in another county. For some reason we still receive hospital stuff for her, though, and sometimes junk mail from companies trying to sell her supplemental stuff. I can understand that, but I don’t understand how these people got my personal cell phone number and think I’m on medicare. I explained I’m not and to take me off their list, but they’ve called 3 more times today. Each time they’ve told me it can take up to 48 hours for my number to be removed from the system, so they keep calling back.
Honestly I think it’s one of those work at home things where the people get a list of numbers to call that day, and half the time 10 people have the same list. I know how that works because I did a short trial as a cold caller for one such medical company, and it only took me a couple weeks to realize it was something I definitely didn’t want to do. I got tired real quick of getting yelled at because I was the 4th or 5th person to call someone that day. Now that I think about it I do think it was one of those type companies because I definitely remember hearing something that sounded like a kid in the background of one of those calls.
Ya know I have no problem with a stay at home mom trying to make a little extra cash anyway she can. Honestly look at me. I do the same thing, and I’m not even a stay at home mom yet, but when it comes to the cold calling, don’t call me, especially on my cell phone.
Dear Spammers,
Why is it every single time I write a post that even so much as mentions diet pills you have to flood me with spam comments about other thermogenic fat burners? As you can see I am purposely linking to a website that is NOT yours because you get no link love from me. As my commenting policy states you don’t even get the pleasure of seeing your gazillions (okay not quite, but it feels like it) of comments posted. As with most other sites you spam, you’re wasting your time and mine.
I hate to break it to ya, but why would I, or anyone else for that matter, want to purchase a product from a company that has such poor business ethics that they spam the crap out of people just to sell something. I’m guessing you don’t sell very much, do ya?
