I have been thinking about this & sometimes when telemarketers call & ask for Becky I just tell them she (me) isn't at home & I don't know when they (me) will be. LOL. After thinking though, I do rescue cats & try to find good homes for them. So the next time I get a call I'm going to answer the phone "Becky's cat rescue", we are a non-propfit organazation - would you like to donate. I wonder if this would stop them. The do not call list does not work & I have read that you have to sign back up ervery six months. So When they call you just answer the phone & say something like "Quilting Corners". Make it sound like a business number.
