I think all recliners are made to do that....lol. On a more serious side, let the machine answer the phone. Even on the DNC list I get calls from companies. I look at it this way: my money pays for that phone and if I don't want to answer it then I don't. And heaven help the phone seller who does get to talk to me cause I let him/her know they have no business using my money and invading my home to try to sell me something. All said with a smile, of course.
