(Excellent! Selling you some crap you don’t want, surveys, politicking, and collection calls – they all come around the dinner hour. The worst ones though are the robo-dialed calls. You pick up the call, in good faith, with a cheery HELLO!, and all you receive is either an extremely pregnant pause, or a recording that says: All of our representatives are busy. Please hold for the next available . . . You have the nerve to bug me during my dinner, and there’s not even a live voice on the other end??? That is the pinnacle of rudeness. Those A-holes get hung up on, immediately! Live voice/no delay . . . no problem. At least I’ll hear them out long enough to tell them to call back. It’s crap like this computer automation that makes me say that Ted Kaczynski was right! I could go on for hours, but I’ll stop right here.
Good pun, though! We actually have a new word for the ralis95 clue word database, in “fresh”. Can you believe it? Fresh??? Ya never know. I liked the jumbling of “influx”. The answer letter layout was fantastic. Nothing obvious in there. And, a nice job conveying the family’s annoyance! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
