[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 583987, member: 84"] They bug me. If I suddenly come down with an interest in organized religion? Trust me, I know where they are, I won't have an issue finding them. I know there are many sects/denominations that require "visiting" or "ministering" to the lost. I'll stay "lost", thankyouverymuch. (actually not lost, I probably know more than they do......but oh, well) The Baptists here are a bit zealous to say the least, especially a certain church. Molly ended their visits one evening when Fred (god forbid the man look out the window before answering the door) opened the door and Molly, who had a thing for strangers on her porch, slipped past him and came out hackles raised snarling and snapping and chased them out of the yard. The Mormons are much much more persistent. My response to them depends upon my mood. Good mood I'll answer and tell them I'm not interested.......and as the other day added in a "careful not to freeze to death" as I waved them away. (nasty weather) Bad mood? I ignore them. I don't hide. I don't pretend not to be home. I just act as if they're invisible. I have in the past played with their heads more than a bit........but I decided that is sort of cruel, they're not knocking on my door out of meanness. Molly did go after more than one group of Mormons. But seems they're always changing and whomever gets chosen for our neighborhood didn't always get warned about Molly. At some point in the future I can see Maggie following in Molly's footsteps. [/QUOTE]
