11/29 - Wreath Wednesday!

[Serial Mom]

Grrrrr! Has anyone here had their number spoofed before? I'm getting calls left and right from angry people.

I had that happen before. I suggest trying an app that's free called YouMail. You can set it up to automatically go to voicemail any contact not in your phone, and there are quite a few recordings in the library. A lot of generic ones to use, so that if someone who didn't know you were calling, the recording they would get would confuse them royally. You can also set different recordings for each of your contacts as well. Give it a try, it's free!

Thanks I'll try that out. I was thinking I might need to change my number. I've had a total of 32 calls today from angry people saying I'm calling them. I'd hate to change my number though.

Unfortunately, yes. Like 5 years ago someone was being harassed via text messages "from" my number. I got a call from a police detective. Called him back, answered a few quick questions (he believed that spoofing was going on and I had nothing to do with it), then promptly changed my number.

I was with Verizon at the time and you could do it all from the website, very easy. It was a pain to switch over billing info and update contacts of course. Now, 90% of the time, I just give out my Google voice number in case I ever have to change my cell number due to spam or something like this. Thankfully no repeats of the issue.

Uh Oh! I'm on Verizon.

Aren't boneless wings just chicken nuggets for adults?

What's the difference between a fancy chicken nugget and a chicken tender?

What's the difference between a fancy chicken nugget and a chicken tender?

A tender is a specific and unique muscle in a chicken, akin to a tenderloin in larger animals. Very similar to breast meat. It's long and skinny, just like a chicken strip. The term chicken strip is more generic, so something selling under that name could likely use meat from any part.

I've had this happen to me once in the last few months - first time that's ever happened. I mean, other than people who are calling the wrong number expecting someone else, I'm not even sure how they got it.

Should we all just talk today about how much we hate the new site instead of working?

Also, go get me a sandwich.
