Solicitors at your house?

I got a really sweet deal on rent and only pay $825 for a one bedroom. If you can find me a mortgage that low, I'll consider buying.

That is cheap, especially for Portland! Almost like Bay Area prices out there.

You can have a mortgage that low if you're able to save up like 50% of the purchase price and put that down as a down payment. Lol

A dollar every once in a while wont break the bank

That being said I never buy lottery tickets.

Get a dog, the barking often makes them less likely to show up twice... Or just go my route and when they ring the doorbell attach a speaker to a drone and float down behind them and interrogate them. Usually they're too weirded out to come again.

that would freak me out!

Thus it's effective also means I don't have to open the door lol... though it's funny to watch jehova's witnesses try to figure out how to attach their pamphlets to the drone.
once time I even had it start playing gregorian chants back at them when they tried. mostly just amused smiles at that one.

well usually it's musical chanting in latin by Gregorian monks. Which is a christian sect

Oh I thought it was a devil thing.

no that's when I send out my sister to talk to them
She's a Satanist.
It's just easier than trying to explain Nietzchianism to them.

A satanist? Tell her to come sacrifice my neighbors dog! …just kidding

It's probably no surprise that the christian portrayal of Satanists is completely wrong lol.
mostly it's about encouraging people to be happy, try new things, and not be limited... sorta like wicca actually.

We don't get them now. We live a bit off the road and private drive so nobody is coming up to the house now. When we used to live in town with sidewalks, we did some solicitors. Usually 7th Day adventists or JWs. Sometime people offering a service. And of course lots of kids selling stuff.

I used to answer the door and just say no thanks. Sometimes I would patiently listen. And kids selling stuff, sometimes i bought stuff. But, now, if someone comes to my door, I just don't answer it. I didn't ask anyone to come knocking so I don't feel any obligation to answer the door. I don't feel any obligation to answer the phone either for numbers I do not know.

Oh and if someone invites me to a "party" that is really just some MLM thing to sell me pampered chef or something. I immediately toss those in the trash with no "rsvp". Don't pretend you are inviting me to a "party" and require an RSVP when in reality you are inviting me to sell me some crap. And if I have never been invited to your house for a real social gathering nor you to mine,, then don't invite to come buy you stuff. So, since it's not a real party, then there is no obligation to rsvp, that just gets tossed.

I've dealt with my fair share of JW's as well. I gotta give it to them, they're very persistent. I try to be nice and say I'm not interested, but they don't really take the hint.

I had them at my door for a while. My mother told me to put a US flag out to deter them seeing as they're against patriotism. Oddly enough, I discovered that JW's are very atheophobic.

Having a flag is all it took to deter them? Interesting.

That or tell them you're an Atheist, which is what I am.

It's a little more complicated than that... but effectively it's less about believing in satan than it is trying to understand his motivations and take those lessons to heart.
