spooky

I just received a phone call from someone named "Rob" at the Dove Foundation (that's spelled D-o-v-e), a non-profit organization, and no, this was not a fund-raising call. He wanted to speak to the lady of the house. I refused to say whether I *was* the lady of the house but was initially willing to speak to him. I did go so far as to say that I'm female and I live here, but apparently that wasn't enough. After asking twice more for the lady of the house (he was even willing to speak to the man of the house), and telling me again that he was Rob from the Dove Foundation (he didn't spell it a second time), he thanked me for my time and hung up.

A quick surf reveals that the DF assesses movies for their appropriateness to "families." They assign a "blue dove" seal of approval which movie houses and rental stores can proudly display. However, their web site is unreachable.

Or maybe, they're the other DF which was "founded in 1983 with a mission to help the discouraged, addicted and needy find hope, help, and deliverance through the word of God. The Dove Foundation is housed in the Wings of Life facility and provides over 200 ministry services per year in addition to the 1352 services held by the Wings of Life."

And the whole reason I didn't confess my role in the household was that I was afraid some fundamentalist wanted to harangue me for my thoughts about Terri Schiavo.
