My husband has gently pointed out that I don't really need to snarl like a rabid do at the people who ask, "Can I help you?"<br /><br />But I kind of think that's the best way to get rid of them.Dianne K.

Remember, we know where you live.<br />Me: ...<br /><br /><br />* NHK is the national broadcasting service in Japan. It's completely government owned and very much censured. They make you pay it because they "can't prove I'm not watching" their crappy propaganda channels. ¬¬NJ Magashttp://njmagas.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-65053610306213498492014-12-06T14:22:05.861-05:002014-12-06T14:22:05.861-05:00Does hard sell ever work?
