We met up that way for three to four times a month for over a year.

There ya go! Exactly what I was talking about.

Good point about the discount. Perhaps some of the cold callers who don't have a similar relationship and just call/text away heedlessly will take note and stop the unwarranted practice?

And perhaps my wee dog Thor will get elected president. About as likely.

That is exactly how I am. I could not have explained it better myself!!!

I could care less - I've I can't play - I can't play - or just ignore it- delete the txt - if you've got an SO - politely ask that they don't cold call you - they continue - block the number -

Google voice will never allow texts to be blocked. The new hangouts app which can replace google voice app for text messaging does.
