I really think they need to re-train their people to be more considerate. I still intend to get a no-solicitors sign. The police said they're not supposed to stop when there's a sign on the door. I think I would have felt better if they had knocked, but just standing their fiddling with the door without even knocking is ignorant! I agree with you Robbin, if husband was home things would have been different!garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-51382816923370831362008-03-09T08:17:00.000-05:002008-03-09T08:17:00.000-05:00I had visitors to my door yesterday.

Luckily I saw them walking up our road~being winter and deserted I knew they were coming to my house. 2 very smartly dressed men and I made my kids hide in the bathroom and refused to answer the knock. Things would've been different if hubby were home but when I'm alone with the kids I have to keep them safe. So I don't care how long they knock (and they were here for 5 minutes!) I'm not opening the door!<BR/><BR/>I really hope that the police did give those JW's a good talking to. Thank goodness your young and healthy but in an older person that could've been enough to trigger a heart attack! The JWs need to be a bit more sensitive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915331094311375850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-10096790023973982812008-03-06T13:05:00.000-06:002008-03-06T13:05:00.000-06:00oooh Mom, how scary!

I'm glad he decided to leave. <BR/><BR/>Why does stuff like that seem to happen when a person is alone??? If DH had been here I'm sure I wouldn't have been as scared. And if George weren't still visiting relatives his ferocious bark would have made me feel less scared too. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully your 'visitor' was just someone who was lost and thought your driveway was a road, and not someone looking for trouble.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-85291745565876333512008-03-06T11:52:00.000-06:002008-03-06T11:52:00.000-06:00Hi Sweetie, Glad everything is o.k. now.

I had something like that happen one time when DH was away. 5 am someone drives up our 1/2 mi long driveway, parks outside the bedroom window, and walks to the front door. It was too dark to see who it was, but peeking out I saw them just by the door - contemplating I guess. Then, they go back, get in the car and light up. I called 911 right away. They said they'd send an officer. 10 minutes later, no officer, but the party started up the car and drove off. I called 911 and told them the person was gone. They were on the way and said they'd look for anyone driving that looked suspicious.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I empathize with you as I know how I felt trying to see what was up and keeping out of sight. And you know how isolated we are here, no neighbors in view.<BR/><BR/>Love you lots and glad you are feeling better.<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-17062957854437171902008-03-05T18:34:00.000-06:002008-03-05T18:34:00.000-06:00Thank you Meems!

We do get a lot of people going door-to-door around here. too many. I've never lived anywhere with as many people going door to door all the time. <BR/><BR/>Today has been much better! I even worked outside for awhile as therapy for my frazzled nerves.<BR/><BR/>This will actually be my 2nd grandchild. I have a 4-year-old grandson as well. A year or so ago he was at my house every day. It was so much fun. I miss that! I'm over-the-moon excited about grandbaby #2!<BR/><BR/>Wide Lawns, Thanks for visiting my blog! I've been reading yours for a couple of months. I love your writing. I'm thinking of you with what you've got going on. I hope that situation gets under control very soon.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-71508782762177714682008-03-05T13:18:00.000-06:002008-03-05T13:18:00.000-06:00How scary!

I wish door 2 door anything would be more sensitive to the folks on the inside of the house... I don't open my door for them when I'm home alone. Period. Of course you didn't have that option since you never had a knock. <BR/><BR/>Hope today is a happier day for you.<BR/><BR/>BTW congrats on the grandbaby coming. You are going to love it!!!! I just put my 2 yr old grandson down for his nap - he will be with me until tomorrow morning. Nothing like it! <BR/>:-) Meems @ HoeandShovelMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.com
