Closed gate!

I just stopped answering my door. I can't tell you how many times a week I get someone dropping off tree trimming business cards. There is not one tree on our property.
When I was about 11 months pregnant, I answered the door only to be greeted by an overly optimistic sales girl. She asked what I was having, and I said (very flatly), "A baby." I was so PO'd and miserable! I ended up closing the door in her face.
Pretty much, if I'm not expecting you, I don't want to see you.

You are hilarious, Carri.


When we see them walking down the road, we just lock the door and dont answer it. We pulled out of my uncles one day and we saw some walking down the road towards his house, so I called him up real fast and said, "They're coming! People with bibles and pamphlets! They're coming!" and I heard him say, "Sis! Go lock the door!"

It was hilarious.


*BTW: I've got a bible, I was in no way making fun of anybody with one.*

Debi...having grown up there (same town), I'd bet money that it is Mormon missionaries. There are several wards in the area and a large LDS population as well. They send missionaries there all the time too. The white kids (or young men), black pants and white shirts descriptions fit the bill in my mind.

I am sure they won't be the last to come to your door either. Also, there is a Kingdom Hall (Jehovah's Witness) there too, but they don't usually wear strictly black pants and white shirts, so while they may come around, your "visitors" likely were not JWs.

I am not LDS, but my best friend is and her family all still lives in your area. They've sent many missionaries to my house over the years.

We had two ladies (Jehovah's Witness) come to our door one day. I was tending to a Barred Rock with sour crop, and answered the door holding her (the hen). The security screen was still shut though, so she couldn't see in. Being a polite mood, I listened and finally she asked, "Are you holding a puppy?". I couldn't resist...I opened the door and said, "nope". She busted up laughing and had to call another lady from the car to see the hen. She stopped telling us about the church (DH has family that is JW, so if we care, we'll ask them). But the do stop by to ask how our chickens are doing!

I HAVE THE SOLUTION....

We go door to door with a box of chicks and convert them to the patron saint of poultry! Then people would have the votes needed to overturn those pesky livestock bans, and they CAN NOT restrict religious freedom and pratices!

Uh.... one too many back pills tonight, erm.....

Carry on.....

I am so going to use that the next time they come here also.....and yep my gates are closed all the time, and yep they still walk in...(((SIGH)))

For the record I never said they wer JW or LDS, Just white kids in black pants and white shirts with name tags! My whole point was - THE GATE WAS CLOSED. Usually around these parts that means GO AWAY. I was shocked at the knock on the door...... And I did tell them to go away.....

It would be a real pain, but could you put a lock on the gate?
