[QUOTE="donna723, post: 517969, member: 1883"] OMG Star! Did you see that Shari posted a very similar thread about a down-on-their-luck stranger coming in to her yard asking for money? Is this some kind of movement or something? They sure wouldn't get much if they came in to [U]my[/U] yard! And I had the same thing today only it was someone knocking on the door. I heard this tiny little knock which set off all four dogs into a snarling, barking frenzy, and the two that were out of their crates rushed the door, ready to defend the ol' homestead. But the whole top part of my front door is glass panels and I didn't see anybody! But I slowly opened the door part way expecting to see nobody ... and there was this tiny little Asian lady with a handful of religious literature. I know she was planning to preach at me but I couldn't hear a word she was saying so I opened the storm door just wide enough for her to slip the tract through and she left! She was probably very glad that I didn't open the door with the snarling dogs right next to me! They are not big dogs but they're almost as big as she is! And Lisa, as someone who lives right next door to a city parking lot, I know exactly what you mean! My house sits on a lot that takes up about 2/3rds of a city block and the city parking lot takes up the rest! This means that the row of spaces furthest from the street are right next to my house! And this parking lot is the hangout for every teenager in town! And of course they want to get as far from the street as possible so, even though they have the whole lot, they all park in a row right next to my house! They play "music" that rattles the glass in my windows, squeal tires, honk horns, and throw all their garbage out on the pavement so that the next time the wind blows, it all ends up in my yard.
