We don't have caller ID. We don't own a cell phone. We only use a landline. We do have an answering machine and could let all calls go to that but I would rather not. We just put up with the charity/political/cc services, etc., complain about it and go on. Got to say that if this is the worst thing that goes on in my life, I am in good shape. Not criticizing anyone else for their opinions, just being grateful that today the small stuff is still small stuff and I don't have much big stuff going on in my life right now. :D :D :D
