Telemarketers - what is the most creative way to get rid of them?

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 25 Sep 07

These telemarketers are cancers on society. They drive me insane. You think you're getting a call from friends or family, but there they are, a 5 second gap then someone rudely mispronouncing your name, often without a Mr, ringing...

annoying TV advertisements

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 30 Jun 07

I was just wondering what the most annoying TV add is in your experience was. Mine was the one where catapulting objects, women and goats into the clouds brought down beer rain.

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 16 Jan 07

I have a simple question. How many of you have had your e-gold account plundered by unauthorised withdrawal transactioms? I have twice had this happen. How do I make it more secure without purchasing expensive software?

scams - criminalise them

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 16 Jan 07

I have developed two pet hates. One is telemarketers. The other is people who run scams, and there are heaps of these people. Why can't these people be prosecuted as common thieves and be put behind bars? Why is this subtle form...

e-gold appears to be an insecure and messy payment system. Unfortunately, some programs only pay in e-gold currency. What I want to know is what is the cheapest and easiest way of converting e-gold funds into paypal. Please could...

how hard is it?

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 7 Jan 07

Living a righteous Christian life is so difficult. Many times, I have thought I had it licked. You know, all the fears and addictions etc at bay, and all of a sudden I just have a really bad day where sin comes right out of left...

clothing tastes

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 7 Jan 07

I am sure it is a common dilema that family members give you christmas presents that you know you will never use. Do you politely accept them and say thank you? Is there some other strategy you tend to use? Does anyone up front...

new year resolutions

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 31 Dec 06

Have you decided to make any resolutions for the new year. I have personally never really done this as I find that most people's tend to be very short lived. One can make a great decision at any time, and why wait for a new year...

the message bible

paul8675 @paul8675 (750) • Australia 16 Dec 06

How long will Mylot last?

It would seem to me that sites like mylot, in fact any earning sites have a limited lifespan. How long do you think that mylot will last?
