How come you could start a new thread here? According to Chucky's board intro you shouldn't be able to.
Anyway I can't recall who last knocked on my door. It doesn't happen very often. :\'( Probably Dai last week when I locked the door into the house from the garage.

Who can it being knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more.
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right.
All I wish is to be alone;
Stay away, don't you invade my home.
Best off if you hang outside,
Don't come in - I'll only run and hide.
Who can it be now?
The last person to knock on my door (as I recall) was one of the kids from a downstairs apartment wanting to know if we had any odd jobs for him to do to earn some money. So we paid him to brush the snow off our car, only he brushed it off the neighbor's car instead of ours. Oopsie. ;D

Did you open the door?
I did...and shot them down before they got started. I've had practice in the past and they will just leave if you tell them your not interested (in a strong but polite way). I offer no other conversation or they think they have a foothold again.
Sometiimes I feel bad about it because they seem so committed (walking around in very hot temperatures etc) but I then remember back to when I have been too soft and they have kept me at the doorstep for an hour. >:(

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door--
Only this, and nothing more."

My husband. He was just taking off to go to the dump-we loaded up the car from the front door. I had closed and locked the door-since we don't use it that much-when he came back to ask me if I had some ones (rather than walking all around the house to the side door-that we use all the time).
