I don't recall any unknown numbers on my bills but I got too many spam
calls
when I had Embarq. I cured that by cancelling service.
And I'll add that felt really good. I haven't had a spam call since.
Plus my internet is faster and cheaper than what is offered by Embarq.
They wanted to bundle services, LOL
Embarq is contemptible...................Trig

California Labor Law states that if you report for work for a full-time
shift and there is no work, you must be paid for four hours of pay; if
you report for part-time work in similar circumstances, you must be paid
for two hours.

I go to the local feed store. But I have taken my vet's advice and
don't buy pet food that contains byproducts or animal digest -- not
frugal price-wise but health-wise.
