However, we are gone during primary season, and if it was that important, I would change my registration. However, I don't recall giving anyone my phone number when I registered...but we are being FLOODED with mail both at the condo and the PO Box. Not so much on TV because we tend to watch MeTV and GRIT (except for Blue Bloods and Last Man Standing). In fact, I contacted our Congressman, Gus Bilarakis, but I gave him the Skruffy Phone number and my alternate email address. :)Dave Burdick (GoingRvWay.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10706797381982584920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753182836926532585.post-45578423992361960492018-10-13T21:42:17.344-04:002018-10-13T21:42:17.344-04:00BTW I just read news indicating the Republican par...BTW I just read news indicating the Republican party is selling their data base list of phone numbers and addresses to anyone interested. So get ready for more calls if you're on that voting list.

THAT will stop the spoofing of numbers. Heard Apple took out a patent last week for doing that with their phones....

I can block them, but the numbers are actually local people's phone numbers. I've called them back and "Joe" answers, who says he never called me. Almost all of them are for repayment of college loans ... robot calls. I have no clue how to stop it.Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753182836926532585.post-56832269255325144682018-10-12T17:07:40.593-04:002018-10-12T17:07:40.593-04:00I have quit answering any call I don’t recognize e...I have quit answering any call I don’t recognize even those with Utah prefixes.
