Every evening for nearly a week now an outfit that Caller ID
identifies as "Gallaway Research" has called on my home phone. I don't answer and won't. If telemarketing is illegal if you've opted out, why can't tele-researching be illegal, too? Just askin'. OB: Made potato salad this weekend. IMHO, potato salad always tastes best on about the third day after its creation. My mother's recipe (I like to put in a little parsley for color, too): @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Potato Salad salads and salad dressings 2 1/2 cups potatoes; cooked, cubed 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon vinegar 1/2 cup onion; chopped 3/4 cup mayonnaise salt 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard 3 eggs, hard-boiled; chopped paprika Sprinkle potatoes with sugar and vinegar. Add onion, mayonnaise, salt and celery seed to taste. Toss. Fold in 2 eggs. Decorate top with rounds of egg and sprinkle with paprika for garnish. Chill. Contributor: Ninelle Hopkins Pulliam Yield: 4 servings Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd -- "If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner." -- Duncan Hines To reply, replace "meatloaf" with "cox" |

Galloway Research? http://www.gallowayresearch.com/home.htm I always stick up for market research because I worked at a market research firm during high school and college. For every rude person that hung up on me there were many more that were more than happy to give their opinions on whatever we were asking about, and our clients included brands and services that I'm sure you use today. And yes, we did sometimes offer compensation for people's opinions, but you get better results if people give their opinions freely. Even back in the 80's, computers generated the numbers that we dialed, and when a person answered, we'd take over. If noone answered, the number would go back into the queue. So, it's probably a computer dialing you, and if you don't pick up, it will keep doing so. Every product you buy, service you use, movie you watch, drug you take, or candidate you vote for has millions of dollars and many hours of market research behind it. Next time, throw caution to the wind and answer the phone. You may not meet the preliminary demographic questions, but if you do, it just might be fun and interesting. Or not. |

If you're lucky, that cow manure fertilized the vegetables you eat and the lawn you cut. Your consumption of the end result makes you responsible for its production. |

If telemarketing is illegal if you've opted out, why >can't tele-researching be illegal, too? Just askin'. If it's Galloway Research, they are a market research firm, and not doing telemarketing. Market research is exempt from the Federal DNC lists, but the rules vary greatly state by state and any research company that contacts you must put you on their own DNC list if you request it. http://www.gallowayresearch.com/ OB: We had leftovers last night and cleaned out the fridge. Also had a fine, fine salad made with fresh greens from the garden. Boron |

So her recipe (if I had it) would contain 6 HB Eggs 3 yolkless. It is the eve of my birthday and I'll be xszhopping for a ham today...not one of those pre-cooked, pre skined, factory hams either...but a true off the leg of a pig with excessive fat hams. This weekend I cook the ham and my daughter makes the tater salad. -- The house of the burning beet-Alan |

Yes, just have your answering system pre-answer and give the warning that no unsolicited calls are accepted and continuing constitutes criminal trespass on your private telecommunications infrastructure. The public switched telephone network and any free speech rights end at the telco demarc box outside your house, everything after that, including your answering machine is private property. |
