Hey folks, my husband showed me this info about the british petroleum company (BP) oil spill, I thought i'd share it to everyone....very useful info..please read both links as the 2nd link is the continous message from the first link.Let me know what your input is.http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_B/threadview?

I actually had to look it up to make sure it was real and the funny thing is the word is basically the British version of a "Bushism" from the 18th century that stuck, so you never know. 300 years from now someone could be "misunderestimated" and end up sounding smart for it.

Getting off the ground, you'll find i necessary to work with government officials, city council, county boards, the list goes on.

The "fair housing council" will occasionally be actively "testing" for those who would be discriminatory; the recording is the same for all callers and hence does not discriminate in any way.Now the landlord is allowed to select those who get the call returned ...Sorry for sidetracking this a bit.

However, I have spoken with some of the city council members and housing authority head folks and it seems as though people are starting to realize they are letting their historic buildings and areas go to seed.

The neighborhood gets all the services and pays taxes to the city of Los Angeles, however, Studio City has a "neighborhood council".

One of the bigger organizations that is promoting mixed-use is the International Council of Shopping Centers (icsc.org).

City Council members are generally also the board members of the agency.

In my case, the mayor and three on city council were developers/builders.

I have tried a ton of options....Press 1 for this and give a lot of info - press 2 for this and give a lot of info etc....I have tried just my first name / just my biz name / a woman's voice / my voice / long / short / friendly / serious.I have called the numbers back who don't leave a message.For what I do I found it doesn't make much difference except for a long/complicated message that explains things in detail to "qualify" the buyers - those didn't go over well for me.Short - simple Hi this is scott - leave me a message - or Hi this is tradewinds we can help you with your situation leave me a message works just fine and took a lot less time to do.The only thing I didn't try was someone with a British accent - maybe i will test that out :)For me I just couldn't find an effective way to qualify them further - so go back to basics - what was the purpose of the voicemail?
