Lock the gates, batten down the hatches, the Mormons are coming!

Myself, I'm going to go shopping for some spring clothes. Then, i'm going out to dinner with my daughter. When I get home, i'll sit for a while and have a glass of wine, or 2.

It beats the heck out of talking to the HT and VT that i've told to go away. I'll be sure to put up a sign on the door letting them know they aren't appreciated.

Best day to buy a used car for cheap.

Walk up to the salesman on the lot, wearing the
flashiest checkered sports jacket, and offer him
half the listed price on that 3-year Toyota.

After he tries to say no, flash a wad of
hundred dollar bills and begin to walk away,
saying that Fast Eddie's lot, across the street,
will be happy to sell you one for even less.

I wonder if this approach would work with the
local bishop or MP .... "Look, Brother Jenson,
if you want me back at church, this is the
final deal -- you pay me your tithing for a
year, and I'll sign a testimony about how the
retired couple on the service mission talked
me back into being active..."

I can't believe they still hassle you, Mia! Maybe Cheryl will loan you her hose.

They like me, they really really like me!

Well, not really. They just like to pretend that they like me. I'm way too out spoken, and way too self actuated.

Two totally opposite reactions from our wards. Clearly they couldn't get our resignation processed fast enough.

this is the weekend RfM is down. I actually ran into my old VT while I was walking this morning, but she is a friend still. But I haven't had to worry about VT or HTs in about 5 years.

So true! Visiting teacher shows up with bread looking for DW...bishopric member shows up asking for money for scouts. Then they proceed to ask all kinds of intrusive questions. Poor morgbots have to ignore boundaries meet their numbers and then return and report.

I have had no VT or HT for many, many years..so I thought. My Brother and SIL live in the subdivision behine me. They would come over occasionally to see me. What was weird was my SIL often looked tired, restless, and eager to leave. I thought many times, "Why didn't she just stay home?"

Then, I noted it was always toward the end of the month when they visited.I began to be suspicious that these visits were HT/VT even though, no mormon stuff escaped there lips.

Last summer I resigned and guess what? The visits stopped. I rarely see them now (not that once a month was that often anyway). My brother shows up once in a while and we try to get together for lunch (a more recent event per his request that leaves me a tad suspicious as well), but mostly see them at family gatherings.

So, glad the SIL doesn't feel pressured anymore to come over. I hate that I was counted as being visited all this time though!!!!!
