People at the door
« on: May 02, 2008, 05:04:08 PM »
I had two high school aged girls come to my door for donations to help with researching a cure for autism today there where others at my neighbors.  I think they were associated with Autism Speaks. I told them I didn't have any money to give them and spared them the speech I wanted to give them.  I'm sure they don't know any better and they were trying to help but it makes me crazy.  Bad enough I hate people coming to the door but from this group yuck

Maybe if they were older but they were just kids meaning I probably would have had the cops called on me :laugh:

True, I guess. Oh well. The only curebies I come in contact with are parents to my son's friend. OTOH, they like the Eagles and are nuts.

This is why answering the door naked is always such a good thing.
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.
