I'm so sorry. It is always so stressful when things happen that are out of our control... and during your birthday makes it even harder.
Thank you for letting us know what is going on. Hugs and lots of chocolate being sent your way. Give the little fuzzy guys lots of love.

We do too, but I found out that they can legally call if any company that you do business with shares information about clients. (I got angry one day, answered the phone, and asked WHY they were STILL bothering me. I was given the above explaination and told I needed to sign an "opt out" form then it would take a few months for it to trickle down and be left off lists. (and no they didn't know what company list they had... they were just hired to make the calls--- but since they got so many complaints, they were told what they could say to customers.)

I have a land line and don't ever answer it. It is for internet only. I usually have about 10 hang ups per day. I'm still trying to track down which companies I haven't signed "opt out" forms for.
