montecito: At one time there was a person who had my phone number. Bill collectors call me all the time looking for her and it's not a simple phone call. They call and say if you are not --------------- press 1. I never get to the phone in time to press 1 so I have to call them back with the number that showed up on my Called ID. Then I'll hear a recording that says to the effect....if you just got a phone call from us press 2 which I do and then I usually get someone to explain the whole thing. I've had this phone number for 10 years. It seems she's been running a long time from bill collectors.
The phone companies are forced to comply with a fairly new law and to provide a no call list that you can sign up for. It's good for only 2 years before it has to be renewed. The bill collectors and telemarketers find ways to skate around the law.
Medical Bills...they ask you to tell them your phone number. People who know that they can't pay their bill will make up a phone number...and sometimes it's ours!

Thanks Bode. I didn't know if you could get back to me so I went to the Irish forums figuring something would be posted there. It's such a shame when someone takes their life, particularly a young person

People who don't take care of their pets bug me. Barking dogs and stray cats...
Don't get us started on barking dogs!!! If I link you in to my local website the two top moans are barking dogs and the ladies who feed the stray cats...

Geez Louise I'm one of those bad ladies who feed the stray cats. I can't stand to see an animal hungry. The thing that bothers me though is, there is one little cat who is underweight. I throw the food out for her but she seems to be at the bottom of the pack list so all the other cats eat first and IF there's anything left, she gets it.
But I think I outsmarted the alpha cats by waiting till it's dark. The little cat sits on my deck and when it looks like no one else is around I throw the food where she can see it. I don't know if it works cause she won't go near it until I close the door. I feel so sorry for her cause I know she's hungry...
ya,I've been bugged by a couple who lives below me; they've been arguing...cursing,ragging-out but now their love making is annoying me even more.. it's been waaay too long for me.. lucky lady..

Respect monte. I hate to see any animal suffer. But I've had to steal my heart when I've been on holiday in other European states and here in Spain, I know if I took in one, I'd soon have a houseful of cats. Dogs in Spain are considered to be guard dogs and are routinely left with little food and water, and bark all hours of the day and night. There are supposed to be regulations, but getting them enforced is another matter.
The problem with the feeding of cats in my area, is that food is left on the walls and private areas of 'communities', which attracts rats etc. I know of a brilliant charity in a particular Greek isle that ensure that stray dogs and cats are fed but also capture and neuter/spey them, then re-release. That said, there are various local charities here in Spain that help dogs/cats/horses, and they are ALL run by British ex-pats.

That has left me and millions of others very bugged and confused.
