I think it should be fucking illegal for schools to slolicite alumni for money.
You know what god damned school you graduated from, if you want to give them money then you'll do it, you don't need them fucking calling you at all hours of the day begging for it. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

QUOTE (Watchman @ Dec 30 2008, 01:22 PM)  i never get the calls when i'm a billionaire and they come begging for money I'm going to say i'll donate only on the condition that the texas tech police force is shut down and everyone is fired without pay I've had bad experiences with them. You should let the guy who couldn't walk right stay, he was always nice to everyone. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

I get a call about once every 6 months.
I usually tell them that it cost me 40K to graduate from there and when i'm done paying my loans off i'll consider it. -------------------- |

Call them back and demand to be removed from their calling/mailing lists. It's pretty effective. I hardly ever get solicitations for money anymore.

I used to get calls. They can't track me down anymore though. I have changed my number twice since graduating from there. My parents may still get calls, but they haven't said anything. I have found that changing my number after college was a very good idea. I want one more number change so I can get back to having an El Paso area code. I think it would be convenient to have the same area code as my parents and my husband.

If they already know your number, its more convenient.
Same number for 6 years, and no telemarketers. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

Normal telemarketers aren't, but TTU is an association that you have affiliation with already. But srlsy, it's easy enough to just tell them to take your number off their list. -------------------- |

 Do they ignore parts of reality? Group: Moderators Posts: 2,935 Joined: 23-February 06 From: South Overton!!! Member No.: 46 |
Same thing as Jessica. I changed my phone number twice since attending Tech and my mom's land line no longer exists.
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I usually give the 20 bucks a year... but they never called back from when they called me in wal-mart... so they may not get it i guess.
