Our complex really needs to get bigger "no soliciting" signs. I was just walking Benji...actually playing ball w/him in the courtyard and this guy walks up and asks if I got my paper this morning. When I said, no, he didn't give me time to explain that I don't order the paper. He goes into his spiel and I'll admit, he was really good at it. Nice segues in to the next topic...I was impressed. So, even though I buy the Sunday paper off the stand and read the rest online, I was willing to consider the $18.00 price for 6 months Fri/Sat/Sun. Until he asked for my debit card number. I told him that I wasn't giving him my debit card number and he said, "why don't you trust us" and I said, "us? do you have a mouse in your pocket...I only see you and the only one of you that I see, I've never met, so NO, I don't trust you". He said, "That's why I have this card and he showed me his ID hanging around his neck" and I said, "Those are a dime a dozen. I could buy one just like it and slap my picture on it at any trophy shop." He's clearly irritated now. So, I said, I'll tell you what, I'll take your name and information and call the office tomorrow. If they identify you as an employee, then I'll write you a check for $18.00 and you can collect it when you deliver the paper on Friday. He snatched my "free" paper and stalked off. Something tells me that he wasn't really a newspaper employee. ;D
Way to go PIYA!!!  :clap: ya got big balls kid!!!  :biggrin:

I don't know about that, but lil' Mojo was standing there and she said, "Mom, I could see your face change and I knew right then that guy wasn't going to be selling you anything". :biggrin:

She knows me too well. Hopefully she learns from experiences like that so that someone doesn't take advantage of her later on.

We had an extreme problem with door to door solicitors at work. If you weren't on guard they suckered you into buying something you didn't need. When they came in I always sent them to some unfortunate manager, who got stuck listening to their sales pitch. One day ,we were comming off a super busy lunch rush ,and a couple of them came in. I was at the counter, and they started to give their pitch. This is funny.... I must have been at my wits end from the lunch rush, because they got about three words out and I said, "I don't think we have time for this",and looked back at my coworkers and said "guys do we have time for this?"There was a resounding and collective '"no"!! I turned  back around, and said to the guys, "Doesn't look like were gonna have time for this. We appreciate ya stoppin by." LMAO!!!! After they left everybody was high five'n me. They still talk about that to this day,and that was 3 years ago.  :biggrin:

Joan Jett is appearing at the HP Casino. I am very afraid to even think of what this 50 year old woman looks like after decades of an "I love rock n roll"!  :spooked:

I saw her in concert years ago, she opened up for Robert Plant. I enjoyed the experience, but was surprised in the difference in quality of the live music vs the digital version and not necessarily in a good way. However, I will say that her performance was MUCH better than Robert Plant's. I think his overlarge ego gets in the way of him actually putting on a decent show.

Joan Jett I'm a fan of, but Robert Plant? No.

We saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page 10 years ago in DC (for our 25th wedding anniversary)

Plant put away his ego for that show and it was one the the very best concerts I have ever seen. (And I have seen a whole bunch of them over time.)

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Definition of Service

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word 'service' as doing things for other people. Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:
      
Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City & County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations
      
Then I became confused about the word 'service.'  This is not what I thought 'service' meant.

Today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few of his cows.

BAM! It all came into perspective.

Now I understand what all those 'service' agencies are doing to us.
