I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. I could hear kids screaming inside the house. A woman yelled for them to shut the hell up. The door swung open; a rather nasty looking woman appeared with curlers in her hair, a cigarette in her mouth, and a crying baby resting on her hip.

"I don't want no damned vacuum cleaner!" she yelled at me, fire consuming her eyes.

"Hello. I'm looking for Frank Rivers. Does he live here?"

"No! Get off my property!"

She slammed the door. I kind of understood then why the children were screaming...

    Thanks, Drew. I appreciate the kind words. I just got these posted. I've been so busy with work lately. This software changeover is a nightmare.

    Yes Christopher, you sold Her really well. Don't think I'll knock on her door selling double glazing then!

    Software...what a pain in the assets.

    Thanks, Neville. Yeah, she definitely needs a "No Soliciting" sign on her front lawn.

    When we're done with the changeover it's going to make things a lot easier, but the transition is murder.

    Btw, my pal Steve is now drabbling furiously, going under the name Steve McBrevity. I think he's trying very hard to catch us up; he's so competitive!

    Drew... yes, he's published in his own right 5 or 6 and rising. He isn't on Discover so far and I raised that point with Michael by email but didn't quite understand the answer. I also searched for McBrevity to no avail? To find him, go to my profile, where he is listed as one of those I'm following. It's odd!

    I followed him too. I'll catch up on his drabbles when I can.
