What did you accomplish today?

Dude knocks on my door, right under the no solicitors sign.
"What do you want?"
"I don't want anything from you"
"It's my fucking door you're knocking on"
"I see you're hooked up to PG&E..." (No fucking shit asshole, everyone is)
"Just leave"
"But I can..."
"YOU CAN GET THE FUCK OFF MY PORCH AND NOT COME BACK!"
Assholes.
This is the actual welcoming sign I put on my front door from time to time when the hustlers get too bad. I tried the generic “No Solicitors” sign but they think it doesn’t apply to them. If they ignore the sign, they are fair game and let the games begin with: A) Let me see a state issue ID to confirm your identity? This shuts a lot of them down. I tell them there have been reports of a serial pedophile in the neighborhood posing as a salesman/woman. Taking their picture is effective as well. If asked, you tell them it’s in case you have to file criminal trespass charges at a later date. B) Is English your native language? If they question this I tell them I’m an urban sociologist. C) Did you graduate high school? C) all leading up to tapping the sign and then shutting the door in their face. It also helps to leave the storm door shut and feign some deafness so they have to shout.

As much fun as this is, it was much easier when I had 2 big dogs that liked to answer the door for me.

When we had our Pittie she would give the big girl bark and they would see she was a pit and be afraid, she would have just licked them though. Our new dog hasn't figured out the guard thing yet, she just thinks someone is coming to visit her and goes crazy.
Rottweiler and a Doberman and their mean bark command was "Jesus loves you" but I'd just get the "Jeez".. out and they knew whats up.

A knock at our door immediately gets the beagle wound up which in turn activates the deep booming bark from the boerboel.

All you see from the Jehovah's Witnesses is the soles of their shoes & a tie flapping over their shoulder.

I don't look forward to any procedure ending in "ectomy"
Been there. Had a cholecystectomy in 2013 when my gallbladder ruptured. Laid there in a cell on the floor for 3 days literally dying begging the guards to get me to a hospital. They thought I was faking. Went to the nurse and she said I was just constipated and gave me a shot milk of magnesia and told me to drink alot of water only making the problem worse. The sergeant lady came in and felt my forehead and called the ambulance immediately. She said I was so hot it almost burned her hand. I should have sued Fresno County. I was knocking on deaths door pretty hard that day.

Commissary shopping C/W and stowed. Beer shelf filled. Found a new couch to replace the old worn out one and we're going to go pick it up tomorrow morning, great price, freebie. Napping on a love seat is not possible for me. Time to hide in the AC and wait a bit for beer 30.

One of our dogs died last night.
Totally unexpected.

He wouldn't eat t and didn't want to move much.
The thousand-yard stare was unmistakable, and I knew he was on his way out.

My wife was in denial right up until the moment he passed away.

We haven't had time to grieve. He's still here on the floor, covered with a big towel.

Today is going to suck. My wife is already a basket case and it's going to get worse when we bury him.

I already miss my little buddy.
He was a good dog.
