A couple of years ago we had a bit of extra money and gave some of it to charities that we felt were deserving of our help!
For our kindness we are now deluged daily with phone calls from organizations that we have not only dealt with, but people and causes that we have never even heard of!
Once you give money to one of these groups, the S.O.B.'s must pass your name around so that every charity in the country has you in its sights.
This was OK for a while, but soon got to the point where I found myself being outright rude to these bloodsuckers because they just won't leave me alone.
I don't want to sound like Scrooge boys and girls, but when I start getting two and three phone calls a day from people asking for money and favours, something has got to give!
(My Sanity?)
I put myself on the 'Don't Call' list but apparently that doesn't apply to charities, or they just ignore the list, because the calls got more frequent, not less.
Tell ya one thing though!
I sure don't feel any of that 'Ho Ho Ho' this year!
