Nope, she doesn't! Hell, even if I move in there permanently there's no need for a 25 year extended warranty. I'm probably not gonna live another 25 years! LOL

Yeah, Mom was getting those 2-3 times a day (and her car is still under warranty, not about to expire). I got her on the National Do Not Call List. Miraculously, the calls stopped a week later. *Some* of the pre-recorded calls (so you can't f*** with them because there's not a real person on the phone) will tell you at the end of the message to press 2 to be removed from their call list. But you have to listen to the crap all the way through to discover that option.
