I got an "offer" from a buisness on my Face Book account. I didn't really want to do buisness with them anyway now I will. Negative buisness. I intend to tell all my friends in the wine industry about them. It's in the hundreds. By the time I'm done with them one of my friends or even maybe myself will take them over on the cheap. I get phone calls all the time from carpet cleaning services as robo calls on my cell phone. They do this so I can't nail them with a fine because I'm on the do not call list. They leave a different number to call them back with. Outrageous.I've unplugged my fax machine because I was sick of feeding it supplies because of junk fax touting cruise ships and mortgages Twitter twits tweeting me on my cell phone selling their wares, I think not I've disabled texting both outgoing and incoming from my phone. It is sad that technologies that make life easier, become easier for those who wish to exploit them. Like Nancy Reagan once said, "Just say no." (Just how effective that was, I guess you'll have to ask her as she is probably the only that has the "information", having to refer to her Astrology chart.) I was afraid of that.

If it comes from a friend, dump em. Friends don't send friends advertisements. To any and all Tweet followers:

If all the people I follow do that, I'd be ticked and probably unsubscribe. I get bothered when one person tweets like 10 times in a row. But, if it's completely relavent to the person I follow and is useful to me it might be o.k. If I were following someone who does frugal or discount tips, and their paid ad was discount shopping websites etc. That could work. Get to see new sites I wouldn't have otherwise.
