dyk I had to call the police today?


dyk there was a girl that came to the door "selling" books? She wasn't very clear on if it was to benefit her or kids with cancer. I asked if she lived in the area and she said yes. When I asked her where, she had the name of the street incorrect. I thought long and hard about supporting her "cause" and then told her I'd rather not. Well, she turned and walked away....fast. I watched her proceed to a few neighbors' houses until I couldn't see her any longer. She was walking REALLY fast. I thought it was especially strange that she put the little brochure she had in the waist of her pants but carried nothing else...no pen, no clipboard, no envelope...nothing.


dyk so I forgot about it? Then she returned. I didn't answer the door and she QUICKLY disappeared. I was almost afraid that she was still hanging around my house. It was weird how she was so suddenly gone.


dyk so Amanda, Daisy and I got in the car and drove around the neighborhood (It's only one road - a crescent that hits another road twice) and we didn't see her anywhere. When we took another loop around I saw her waiting by the side of the woods then she sat down on the side of the road.


dyk when I returned home I called the police and they came around? All I know is that they questioned her for quite a while....I don't know the outcome.


dyk there are so many of those 'companies' that suck in college students to sell stuff. Whether she was legit or not, who knows?

dyk me too; I am more of a confront it now person


dyk but it does sound like your sis has issues of her own that might take time to work through before she is ready to address her poor behavior


dyk and a caveat: my confront it now stance has not been consistently successful!

dyk good for you for contacting your sis!


dyk it can take a while for the body to adjust to new meds, so give her some time.
