(20,226 posts)disturb sign" - Last week - I had a knock on my door, fortunately, I had already woken up and it was about time I get up anyway and get ready for work - I thought it was probably the manger for the place I was renting - but it turned out to be a couple of fine young gentleman from Utah who were on a mission. I suppose I could have been annoyed - but noticing that I am no spring chicken - they graciously asked if there was any help they could offer - like errands I need running or help around the house I could use - what can I say? - I thanked them - but always striving for self-sufficiency - I said that everything was okay but I appreciate their offer. Besides they were just so cute and so eager - how could I possibly be annoyed? Yeah, I don't want people bothering me when I need some sleep before I go to work - That's when I would use a "Do not disturb" sign - I can't stand the robo-calls and telemarketers - but a simple knock on the door every now and then is quite okay with me - whatever the reason - whatever the cause - maybe I'm getting old and lonely and just appreciate a few minutes of company - every now and then
