Increase in annoying spam calls
Posted by Harahan Boy on 11/14/25 at 5:40 pm
Does anyone have suggestions on stopping the increase in annoying spam calls offering good rates on loans and mortgages, insurance and solution to false IRS garnishment. I never answer these type of calls and let them go to voicemail. I've signed on the government "do not call" list. I have a iphone and there are call blocking apps. I also get the calls on my home phone. Here's one of many calls I've received. Any suggestions on stopping these calls would be appreciated.
Here's an example:
"This is a taxpayer support office You've been flagged for IRS negotiation This may help you avoid garnishments or levees using the fresh start initiative Be connected to a support agent please choose option to to be added to our do not call list. Please select nine. Once again, select two now to get assistance And press nine to stop these calls…”

He visits different cities and eats pizza and scores on a scale from 1 to 10. I'm surprised he's built a multi-million dollar empire eating different pizzas and talking about it. He has a cult following on Facebook. More power to him.

I bought a watch from Walmart for $29.99. It looks like a much more expensive watch and still working great after 10 years use. Their watches are found in the jewelry department.department. I recently acquired an
Apple watch and getting used to it.

I don't use cologne or after shave lotion. They both attract flies and mosquitoes.

I lived in California for a while near a Mexican community. The Mexican guys love their flat bill caps, ironed white t-shirts and low-rider cars.

Super Saint...You're correct. I don't know what I'm talking about. That's the reason I created this post on this topic. I wish to learn from my fellow Tiger Droppings posters. Do you have anything to share here?
Perplexity

Has anyone used Perplexity. It's a artificial intelligence search engine that is suppose to replace Google. It's advertised to be a very quick and accurate search engine. . I'm constantly seeing ads during general internet surfing..and especially ads on Facebook.

re: Hilton Grand Vacations
Posted by Harahan Boy on 5/21/25 at 9:29 am to JYD
I signed up for a 2-hour time-share presentation for Hilton Grand Vacations in Las Vegas five years ago. It was a big mistake. I'll never never do that again. I walked out. They put so much pressure to get you to purchase a time share. When the first guy ran out of gas he got his boss to take over with even more pressure. The discount room , free meal, free show and bonus points added to the credit card isn't worth listening to their crap. Be aware if you sign-up for a time share it's for life. You can't get out of it. When you die your survivors have to take it over. Also I heard they have "property maintenance fees" that increase over time. No thank you for time share presentations. I'll gladly pay for myself and family for our vacations.

Where do you get the software or program? from websites, streaming, store bought or etc. I'm particularly interested in "virtual traveling"....such as countries and cities around the world. Walking down the streets in Paris and visiting museums, Egypt monuments, Greece, Asia, etc. etc.

.....finagled a large beer purchase....
Yea you're right. I attended Louisiana Tech in the early 1970's. As I recall that was a dry parish at the time. It was a bible belt parish. No alcohol sold legally at all. You had to drive down the interstate across the parish line and buy the beer or booze and bring it back and drink it in a dorm or frat house.

I keep a writing tablet and pen and pencil within reach of the toilet. I think about things and write notes (in between farts) on what I want to accomplish in the near future.

re: Jamaica… safe off resort?
Posted by Harahan Boy on 5/7/25 at 10:29 am to Cosmo
My wife and I went on a Caribbean cruise with a stop in Jamaica. We went and toured the town the cruise ship visited. We were constantly harassed with walking vendors trying to sell us cheap trinkets and got insulted when we said "no thanks". My wife was harassed with women insisting she let them braid her hair in strands and weave in beads Jamaican style. The food wasn't appealing. There was one eating place with their specialty "stewed goat in green curry sauce". No thanks. We got disgusted and returned to the cruise boat. We'll never visit Jamaica again...or any Caribbean country again. There's plenty to see and do in the good ole USA.
