just what i needed

[emmie]

two bible bashers showing up on the doorstep, feeling as i do currently i am surprised my language wasn't more ripe, but for pity sake what do these people want.

[naomi24]

Oh, I didn't mean you should have spoken to them, Em. I was just telling the story of one of my more involved encounters with them. Many is the time I've just said 'no thanks' - especially if I've been under the weather. When you're not well, they really are people you can do without! :o/

[emmie]

Naomi, i know, and i wouldn't have been at my best, the demons have been biting at my ankles for ages, and they came at the worst possible time

[Mammar]

You missed a trick there Em
You should have invited them in and given them your lurgy
They wouldn't have called again in a hurry

ps - love some of the answers x x AB does cheer me up!

[emmie]

mammar, i don't know what i have, was initally told a virus, that doesn't seem much info, but it's gone from one wretched thing to another. Tiredness make you do some strange things.

Em - you could be me talking. I feel just the same, its one thing after another - as soon as I feel a little better and think its going, it comes back in a different form or place! Wretched sore throat No 2 now - got rid of No 1 the week before Cmas, and been coughing again this afternoon, please don't go there - nearly choked myself to death on Boxing Day! And the tiredness, yes, just the same Em, feel so weak and washed out, forced myself to go out in the car with Hubby to nearest town 16 miles away to take stuff back to Matalan, till receipt due to expire on Tuesday. Had a good sale on, but I felt so weak I couldn't stand there and look on the sale rails, took the clothes back, got refund and couldn't wait to get home again - only been out twice since Cmas Day. Like Mammar's comment about asking the JWs in and breathing on them ..............brilliant!

I have a scar that runs from the top of my sternum to my belly-button, I just flash that and ask them to guess how many units of blood I recieved while that was being sorted.
They don't usually hang about!

;o))

[emmie]

steve, bit extreme wouldn't you say, but the thought had crossed my mind.

[boxtops]

Yes tell 'em you already follow your own faith, no thank you - that sends them away.

[boxtops]

You could always ask them if they know anyone called Elderman....

[Carakeel]

Trouble is though boxtops, they don't always leave but hang on saying "Yes, but I just want you to know that .... bla bla bla" and that is what I so hate! If I tell someone at the door that I do not want them calling, then that is exactly what I mean! Now, when they come and ratter isn't here, I take one of the wolfies to the door with me and that usually makes them leave rather quickly. Little do they realise that the wolfies would just lick them to death, as they are such softies, lol. When my ratter is here, I do let him "chew" on them for a few minutes and then remind him gently that he needs to "spit them out" again. He loves giving them grief, never in a nasty way. He just gets them so flustered with his arguments that they don't know what to do or say anymore. Years ago when my son was dying of brain cancer, they kept coming to the door wanting to "save him", one even putting his foot in the door when I wanted to close it! I really am a very patient person, but they really do my head in!!
