They keep telling me on the news that today is the last day to register for the state's Do Not Call list - for this period anyway.   Every time you register, it's supposed to be good for 2 years, but I don't remember when I registered our numbers last.  So I registered all of our phones - home and cell phones.  Otherwise we could have been in danger of dropping off the list, leaving us open to all those irritating calls.

I have to wonder though, why does the list expire?  Shouldn't we just be able to register once, and then if we ever decide we'd actually like to get some calls, we can remove our numbers from the list?  Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen.  No, because of the way it's set up, the telemarketers are hoping we register once and then forget about it, so when our 2 years is up, they can start calling again.

Nope, I think I'll just go randomly register whenever I think about it ...
