Who the heck has this problem???? Since moving into the neighborhood, It has come to my attention that to some , It seems you can sell me anything...Yes it's a rather newer development and quite lovely establishment, where I now call home...But the funds have not changed......Ed McMahon has not payed me a visit, nor did I pick the lucky lotto numbers.... I Just moved is all.....Well at least 3x's a week (sometimes 4) someone is trying to sell some kind of gadget in the neighborhood. There's the $6,000.00 Kirby vacuum (hilarious) ....I might consider if I could also drive it to the store and back....The miracle tonic that cleans all, from windows to shoes, it cleans everything. This tonic will set you back only $45.00 for a 32oz......Or how about the Meat Van....(I never knew this excised) They run at you with a quickness, while the van is running outside with his buddy behind the wheel, claiming to have "Tons of delicious meat on board" $$real cheap$$........I might consider but that's a scarey thought altogether....... I never knew The Merry maids seem to think I have a problem with the way I keep house...They leave me post its every week, promising to "tidy" up my home.......what a deal at $40.00 for the basic one time pop........Sometimes you get the 9 a.m. morning knock at the door and find a rather big shady man in the neighborhood wanting to "come in a clean my carpets" FOR FREE!!!.....(I bet he does)...........I could go on all day here......Any suggestions?? Besides hanging a hidious sign..........????????..

you dont always have to answer your door, let them knock,
and maybe they will get the hint and go away.

A big dog on a small rusty chain might help. I think that these types of salespeople are becoming more common every day.
