I'm also glad to see that you are following the great tradition of daytime TV post-thesis. <br />Kim-I wish I could just ignore the knocking, but I'm so crazed for human contact during the day that I can't help myself. It's a dangerous cycle.Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869192657338900471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467171832517269410.post-8771226010688240602011-04-21T00:52:40.608+01:002011-04-21T00:52:40.608+01:00You know, I'm usually okay with the sidewalk p...You know, I'm usually okay with the sidewalk people . . . they're annoying, but I'm like, LOOK. I'm not going to give you any cash or give you a credit card number to put on your clipboard. Nuh-uh, no way. Or I just smile and keep walking.<br /><br />Once I got ambushed while working in the yard out front. I was weeding, and they wanted to invite me to a Jesus party. I told them that Jesus and I had a private party once a week. Okay, no, I didn't say that . . . but I politely refused and gave them a big smile and went back to my weeding.<br /><br />As for the door-knockers, well . . . if I'm not expecting anyone, then I don't open the door. Why? Because I did it twice, and both times were asking for money. Sorry, no. (Actually, three times, but once paid off because it was for a CSA box.) I'm not hiding <i>per se</i>, I'm just not talking to you. I'm saving us all the effort.Kimberlyhttp://eclpse.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467171832517269410.post-19090279078143935312011-04-20T17:24:32.619+01:002011-04-20T17:24:32.619+01:00This must be the most interesting solution to the ...This must be the most interesting solution to the Pockers (pesky knockers?) that hound me as I watch daytime telly post-thesis submission.
