Nuisance Calls. People are receiving a high volume of repeat calls from âCard Servicesâ or similarly-named entities. People who ask the callers to take them off their calling list often run into a host of problems ranging from âspoofedâ telephone numbers to third-party telephone companies that are unresponsive.
A pitchfork is an agricultural tool with a long handle and long, thick, widely separated pointed tines (also called prongs) used to lift and pitch (throw) loose material, such as hay, straw or leaves.n Europe, the pitchfork was first used in the early Middle Ages, at about the same time as the harrow. The pitchfork was originally made entirely of wood; today, the tines are usually made of hard metal.
The pitchfork got its name from its use in pitching bundles. True pitchforks had two or three tines. Forks with four or more tines were not designed to pitch bundles and, technically speaking, were not pitchforks.They were called simply forks or manure forks.If the tines were spread widely apart, the fork was known as a barley fork or straw fork.n the threshing era, it rained pitchforks, in the sense that every general store carried a full line of them. Thousands were needed. In any harvest season across North America, pitchforks lifted every bundle of wheat or other grain. Pitchforks made a back-breaking job a little easier.
