DCAHNM 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 TIL (actually a few days ago) about why the same group of friends show up on my facebook page. Supposedly the friends that are usually displayed on your facebook page has to deal with the ones you interact with the most. I call bullshit. My brother,mom, aunt are listed all the time it seems. My family is not allowed to see my wall. (not because I'm saying bad things, etc., it's purely because they get on my damned nerves.) They do not comment on my pictures, nor do I comment on their pictures or even visit their pages. (I know, I am such a wonderful sister/daughter, etc.. lol).

Refugee 7 Report post Posted February 5, 2011 TIL, that the National Do Not Call Registry is really useless, especially when it regards telephone surveyors, aka telemarketers and political organizations. Pfffft! Although these calls can become a nuisance, they are not illegal. Most political calls are received during the political / election season. You may try asking the caller to remove your name/phone number from the calling list. Some states have specific laws regarding campaign calls. Check with your state attorney general for state law information. Certain calls are exempt from the National Do Not Call List. For example; political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship can legally call you even if you have registered on the National Do Not Call List. For more information contact the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weird monkey 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 "Most political calls are received during the political / election season.

" So how do you do that when it's a Robo-call? :mad: It took a lot of nerve for politicians to exclude theirownselves from the list. My fingers are crossed, so far my new landline isn't on any list, and I don't think they can call cell phones. Yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
