<p>I feel the same way as above posters regarding the telephone and doorbell being an invasion. I retain a land line only because I have a business. I don’t answer it after 5 or on weekends. I would get rid of it in a heartbeat if I could.</p>
<p>I don’t worry about it being my kids/parents with an emergency. They have my cell # and it’s always on and with me. My kids would never even think to call the home phone anyway. My machine answers and I pick up IF it’s someone with whom I wish to talk.</p>
<p>I do not think the “do not call” list is working nearly as well as it did in its early years. Companies don’t care and obviously the small fines, if caught, are worth it to them. I personally would like to strangle “Rachel from Cardholder Services”.</p>
