    ml>> not all 1-800 numbers are toll-free ;)   
      
    DS>   That's true...some of those get routed to 900 numbers.   
      
    AA> I've never heard of that!  I couln't find anything about that on

     It likely has been hidden away. Before my wife died, we'd buy porn   
   videos (we called it "Adult HGTV" ). First, if you have an underlying   
   medical condition, it's going to affect your libido (never mind the   
   story of the woman who filed a lawsuit against this place, because she   
   claimed "in falling off a barstool, she lost her libido" -- that's as   
   bad as the woman who sued McDonald's when she ended up spilling hot   
   coffee in her lap).   
      
     So, what we'd do, "to prime the pump", we'd watch these, and they   
   always had these "ads" at the front end, before the main show started...   
   just like the movie theaters would do with the previews, etc.   
      
     We'd make comments over things like:   
      
   1) The woodworking with the bed (some of it was of very intricate   
   craftsmanship, with the carved patterns).   
      
   2) The pictures on the walls.   
      
   3) The chandeliers on the ceiling.   
      
   4) The behavior of women wearing these high heel shoes during sex.   
   I've heard some say that "the women felt sexy wearing the shoes"...   
   as a guy, I'd be afraid of getting impaled!!   
      
     Yet, as the country song noted "I had all the love a man could   
   want, waiting for me at home".   
      
     But, back to the topic of this message, the majority of the "porn    
   lines" in the vidoes would be a number with a 900 or 976 area code.   
   While these porn lines claimed "no charge with an 800 number", it    
   reminded me of all these "hidden fees and items" in contracts, bills,    
   etc. Ever take a look at your utility bill, and notice all the extra   
   taxes and fees??

   ... The scales in the doctors offices offend me. Remove them!
