Can't get anyone to answer the phone!

Don't call and ask questions. They will LIE!! And when "Sallee" gets on the phone don't expect anything but pure rudeness! She basically just told me to get off her phone line. She wouldn't even let me talk. So rude. Its no wonder so many people in this town talk so badly about her. Just because you think you're everything, doesn't mean you are.
