REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public today
REMINDER.... all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing
companies tomorrow and you will start to receive sale calls.

.... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time.
It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone
number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

6. My dad sends me this kind of stuff all the time.

I had to laugh when my dad actually sent an email, copied from snopes, informing me that I should be very careful when I forward emails because of the email tracking capabilities. The forwarded emails drive me crazy (they drive my mom crazy too}. My mom and I had a great laugh about the forwarded "Don't Forward emails" missive.
