Calgary Herald Phone SPAM

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Maybe you noticed phone calls from (604)-687-0142 in lots of cases they call in the day when you are not home but when you then get them on the phone one time they try to bug you to get a subscription to the Calgary Herald newspaper.

It is anoying that if you signed up for not getting those unwanted phone calls the newspapers and the “good causes” are still able to call you. So what can you do to make it stop?

First you can write to the customer service department of the Calgary Herald at calgaryherald@reachcanada.com and then they will try to get you address and I did not give it to them why do they need my name and address to remove me from there marketing phonelist?

Then you can also contact the company that calls you RSP Customer Care Centres who do not really seem to care about customers! On their website they have the option to delist you phone nr and for me that did not get me of the phone list they use.

So i tried something else. I wrote and email to every email address i could find on there website.

Being :

dnc@rsvpcare.com
leslie@rsvpcare.com
james@rsvpcare.com
connie@rsvpcare.com

I don’t know if this helped but at least I bugged them a bit and if this isn’t enough to stop it then I will start calling them at there office nr 604.687.0615 and you could of course also try to call the nr they call you with 604.687.0142

Come on People let this shit stop do something back to them!

Canadian Goverment Benefits do i Qualify for any?

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

In these difficult economic times we all could use a little help.

Specially for those of us who not have much to live on there now is the website www.reducepoverty.ca and on that site you can find a Government Benefits calculator that can tell you what you are entitled to and how to apply.

Maybe you think you do not deserve any but you could be wrong there, I would say check it out and see if you can get any money back.

Free Rogers and Fido wireless internet

Do you have an iPhone but no dataplan?

Listen up this is what I found. I am with Fido and do not have a data plan. But when I was at a place that has a Rogers / Fido hotspot they let me use it for free because I have an iPhone. My friend who has an iPod Touch was not so lucky and just needed to pay if he wanted to use it.

So having an iPhone in Canada go give it a try.

This makes me wonder if people who have iPhones abroad have an similar experience and if this works accross borders????

Guerrilla Gardening

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

This year we will start doing some Guerrilla Gardening.

As you can see on the picture we have the basics and are almost ready to go.

I was thinking about all that C02 stuff in our air and how bad it seem to be so why not plant some more green that can make it back in to something we can use :)

So I have some spots where I think some fresh greens would be an great addition. Specially next to busy road ways where the bad pollution is the worst.

Keep coming back and see the progress we will make over the season.

We will mainly focus on Calgary so the season is not even there yet but coming soon…….
