I realize it's a thankless job, and it can't even pay that well. It just drives me nuts to constantly be bombarded with solicitations.

Yes, (to carrots) it IS good stuff!

I always tell solicitors that we're just the renters (even though we're not: YES, I LIE). That gets rid of them very quickly.

Oh he gets plenty of 'cream', probably the one vice we allow for around here.

NIce comeback to the Costco guy, so unbelievably presumptuous. And even after you've brushed them off, they keep at it. Drives me nuts.

No kidding. I get those damn e-mails almost every day. I keep reading them because I expect to some day see something interesting. Yet they always think I'm a mom. How is beyond me — I guess almightydad isn't clear enough

Concerning those guys at costco that ask about the siding. I like to tell them “I don't think my landlord would approve.”

Oh, and I'm sorry to hear about the little feller's lip. Hope he heals up well. Get him some ice cream for his troubles

I tuned in for the Caddyshack reference and you did not disappoint. Way to go. We get solicitations for gutters, siding, and windows at our house all the time. I just want to punch them in the face. I think it is because the average age in our neighborhood, including my family, is about 75. They come around trying to sell crap to these gullible retired folks.

You have to wonder the logic behind it. Do you really go there, spend a few hundred bucks on some stuff that will last a few months and think, hmm, “I do need some siding and windows. If they hadn't asked I'd have forgotten all about it!”

For her it was more along the lines of what didn't cause her to break out. Normally she's the 'anything that is on sale' type of girl, but she developed some nasty reactions to several things.

I like brussel sprouts, assuming they are sauteed in butter with bacon and mustard, but that might not be a bad second product line/.

Trust me, if the wife wasn't there I would have. That crap grates on my nerves.
