Sorry, mf ma'am. Try to block the clown's number from her phone or block the messages from her computer? There's a national "do not call" list and maybe one in her state.

Thoughtful discussion after reading this, please: How should the terrorists be dealt with; should they be dealt with differently because Hamas hold hostages; and, if death is appropriate, by what method? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What to Do With the Terrorists? One of the critical questions emerging among the Western commentariat regarding the Israel-Gaza war is what to do with the Hamas terrorists captured by the IDF. Should these be detained as POWs and treated tolerantly, as specified by the Geneva Conventions of 1949? A second question on which the answer to the first depends entails the [...] https://pjmedia.com/david-solway-2/2023/12/12/what-to-do-with-the-terrorists-n4924696

Month and year should do. City and state (province or whatever) also should.

I tend to agree with Crazy Cat that perhaps this is a mistake. Bear in mind that it's important to keep things as pleasant as possible. If things go south between you and the landlord, an eviction notice may not be out of the question. This all might be worth a quick consultation with a real-estate or tenant attorney.

More Hamas Fighters Surrender, Provide Intel The leadership of Hamas may not be dealing with reality, but an increasing number of their fighters seem to be. It was confirmed this weekend by the Times of Israel that more Hamas fighters have approached IDF troops, laid down their weapons, and surrendered. After being taken into captivity, some of them have been providing Israel with intelligence regarding what's going on inside of the ranks of Hamas. The fighters said that their own leaders are "in denial of reality." [...] https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2023/12/11/more-hamas-fighters-surrender-provide-intel-n598173

Great to remember this valuable thread of yours, and to resurrect it. Even greater to burn work minutes by listening for a while. Best of all to waste the caller's time and cause a hang-up!

Sounds like a little up-cleaning is necessary in Loveland, doesn't it? Until a few years ago when state laws changed, Texas had towns and counties that would try to fund their entire annual budgets through revenue from speeding-tickets.

Why the Discovery of Hamas' Leader's Credit Card Is a Little Infuriating While clearing out Hamas strongholds in Gaza, Israeli forces stumbled upon the credit card of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. It's a Visa card, and the man reportedly put some significant charges on the card. Though expired, it showcases what we all know about the terror group: the upper crust has accumulated inordinate amounts of wealth at the expense of the civilian population. What do you expect from an administration that spent 17 years building an intricate network of terror tunnels for its forces but not a single bomb shelter for civilians?
