I'm a Grandfather

Last May I called my daughter on her 25th birthday. The first thing out of her mouth was, "I'm four months pregnant". So what do you say? At this point I didn't know if she was happy or upset about being pregnant. So do I say, "congratulations" or do I say "I'm sorry to hear that"? Anyway, to make a long involved story short, I received a phone call from her sister this morning at 5:30 to let me know I was now the grandfather of a baby girl, 8 pounds 3 ounces.

How do I feel about that?
Revenge... buahaa ha ha ha!

Direct Energy Telemarketers

They don't give up...

I've had three calls this week alone from Direct Energy telemarketers trying to get us to lock in our Hydro bill with them. When I tried to ask a question they just talk over me and continue their canned speech. I've hung up the phone on all three callers simply because I found them rude and non reactive to my voice at all. I may as well be listening to a pre-recorded message.

If someone calls trying to sell me something and won't let me talk, ask a question or even ask that they not call again without an argument, then I have no use for this company.

I have found that others share my feelings. Click here
