I just had a solicitor from RATE REDUCTION CENTER, in houston, texas call me just now. I'm on the do not call list and when asked who she was calling for she said anyone in the home who has a VISA card. She was offering to get us lower interest rates. Now I wasn't born yesterday, so I asked for some company info. She gave me the number to a phone sex hotline.

I called the BBB in Houston texas and they have no record of this company.

Does anyone else report shisty businesses to the BBB???

I am pretty new to the whole networking thing. Today, I went to lunch in place of my boss with a really cute girl. He's talked to her a few other times at networking events but this was supposed to be their first one-on-one. She's single, lives by me, is attractive, and very nice. I'm not saying I'm in love but I'd like to see her again. She works part-time by me at a resturant but I think going there would be stalking. She isn't a client of our's so I can't depend on that. I don't want it to be weird though if I see her at something again if she doesn't like me. I did say I was interested in going to other networking events for young professionals (since we are both in our mid-twenties) and she is a sales rep. What do you think? I don't want to seem creepy but I'd like to see her again and see how it goes. Any advice?

And if it's ok to do, how can I do it? Just hand them a card with a gift or money inside? I get lots of deliveries, and I'd like to do something nice for them. What do you think?

My friend is going to 'El Rico aka Puerto Rico, and I told her to bring me something back. I just left her a message on her my space. Was that rude?..I don't think I was, if someone did it to me, I would be like "Ok, if I find something." She's one of my good friends and I'm hers, and I'm on her top ranked friends. What do you think?..

I always sneeze during having a cuppa tea, annoying when you have the cup in your hand.

I am a mature law student. I am been increasingly annoyed by the fact one of our lecturers keeping swearing during lectures the F word is frequently used and T***t plus others. Do you think this acceptable from someone at this academic level, does it give the younger students an excuse to do the same thing? The law department expects their students to write academically with correct grammer etc. What would say if I used swearing in my essays. Do you think I should pull him up on it, or will I make him mark my grades down. I just cringe when I hear it.

One of my co-workers went in the men's room yesterday to take care of his business, and his pants were pulled down to the floor, and his work badge was visible to the man in the next stall.

This guy took a massive dump, no holds barred, and the man next to him started gossiping about it like a kid at recess to the whole office since he was able to identify the man.

I feel bad for the guy .... is it his fault for not being more careful with his badge, or is the other guy an idiot for talking about it?

Is there a tactful way to tell a co-worker that her perfume is positively nauseating? We work in very close quarters and not only does her perfume make me nauseaus, it gives me the worst headache. I've been told by other co-workers that I will hurt her feelings if I tell her it's bothersome, but what about me? I have to suffer through this every single day? I must add that I think I'm overly sensitive to smells anyway (my husband says I have a nose like a bloodhound.....LOL). It does not seem to bother anyone else. Any suggestions?

he got caught?

I can't take my boyfriend to couples gatherings because he is obsessed with digging into the host's couch cushions looking for spare change.

I can tolerate it to a degree if he is discrete but he is out of control & blatantly digs for the change. To top it off, he talks about how much change he accumulated the whole ride home.

I'm afraid he's going to get really caught one of these times.

He does this whenever we go to a store ...walks around staring at the ground, collecting change, then molests it the whole car ride home like he just won the lotto.

Last night my husband found a grocery bag with cookies and a pie and an envelope to ___ from ____..actually names but I don't want to put them up! It isn't for us and we asked the mail carrier if they knew anyone around here by the name and they said they didn't. So we have no idea who this was supposed to go to! I don't know if we should open the envelope up to see if there is an address of something if a check is inside. i don't want to open someone else's mail but I also want to find out who it is supposed to go to!! I don't have time to go knocking door to door, it's cold out, i have a toddler and my husband is at work all day.
What do I do!?!?

I work for an on-line company, and it's not unusual for someone to call and say that they've been charged twice for an item when in fact they've only been charged once. The first attempt failed, and the bank is showing 2 'holds', and the failed hold will drop.

How do you tell someone that doesn't understand this that they've only been charged once? How can you prove it to them (over the phone) when their bank is saying they were charged twice?

They are so immature that they say they are going to sue us, and contact the fraud department (which I doubt that they will)... as if threatening us will do anything. BTW... the items we sell are $20, or less.

... leave trash around the parks, throw cigarette butts on the ground/floor ...?

Are there things of this kind that really bother you?

Do you think that "there should be a law against it!", as a friend of mine often says?

The first winner from the United States, 1973's Marjorie Wallace, was forced to resign because of her high-profile serial dating. The duties, but not the title was offered to first-runner up, Evangeline Pascual of the Philippines, which she refused. The two girls were tied at the final tabulation of the pageant competition, but the Chairman of the Board of Judges, American actor, Gregory Peck, broke the tie in favor of Wallace. Evangeline Pascual should be the official Miss World 1973 because it was her right to take over the crown but the organization did not used the rule which states if the winner can't fulfill her duties the first runner-up will take over her place.Unlike the following year the title was offered to the first runner-up who was Anneline Kriel of South Africa after revealing that the reigning Miss World was an unwed mother who was Helen Morgan of United Kingdom. If the title was offered, the Philippines would be the first Asian country to win the two major titles in the same year and not India

I have a troop of 7 girls whose ages range from 8 to 10. They enjoy the activities I set up and the meetings but they don't listen when trying to explain an activity or inform them of what is going on during a meeting. My co-leader and I have sat them down and talked with them about this chit chat and not listening cause it causes delays in getting things done but the day we did this towards the end of the meeting they were back to their talkative old selves. Anyone got any ideas on how to keep them quiet while we are trying to explain things?
