I hate this!

And the stupid insurance calls. I just had some guy say he was 'state medicare insurance.' I tried to tell him that the State handles my insurance. He said: " I am state medicare insurance." "Well, then you should know that the State takes care of my insurance." I don't think he liked that... He hung up.

That must be nice. What kind of system do you have?

@Ineeddentures I will have to research if the iPhone has something like it. I wouldn't mind calls from people in my 'phone book' but I would love to have the rest stopped!

@ElicBxn My cell phone, Android Found some call settings I could adjust It's great, no calls from anyone I don't know get through to me I have no idea if the caller gets a message or it just doesn't connect

I get it, I think the original neighbors were not happy when they opened up the area and suddenly had more ways out of it. The original owner who lived next door I suspect downsized with his son out of college and stuff. Honestly , this was probably a really nice quiet area in the early 1970s when my house was built. And my house was one of the last ones, so that means probably a good number were built in the late '60s.

Maybe hoping you will sell it, not knowing you are probably not paying property taxes on it...

@ElicBxn Right, no property taxes have to be paid. It’s got a few acres to it, and housing developments are popping up around there.

@AmbiePam I'm going to give you some unsolicited 'legal' advice. I suggest that the land have signs posted "No Trespassing." I'm not an attorney, but if you remember I was sued. If it is posted "No Trespassing" even without a fence, it would be harder for someone who isn't in your father's church to sue if they just walked across the land, stepped on a 'very dangerous' pebble and 'broke their arm.' If your dad's church has something, maybe a 'revival' (don't know what kind of church it is) but that is different. Of course if there is something they use the land that isn't used for a building, it is up to him. Just trying to protect your dad in the sense of idiots in this sue-happy times we live.

You get anything only printed on one side? The only times I get something like that is in insurance stuff and they always have "This page left intentionally blank."

@ElicBxn The flyers are half-letter size and show "hand printing" as if it's just my house they're interested in.

@BarBaraPrz there was a point after the roommate moved in that she would get notes about wanting to buy her car. One guy even rang the doorbell, back when she was working nights. "Is that your car on the street?" "No." "Do you know who owns it?" "Yes." "Are they interested in selling it?" "No."

I get them and I know I will, because I do own a house. However, they probably only see my name on the title from when we finally got it there. Maybe they think I might want to get out from under a mortgage? But, no, I don't need anything like that.

People want someone named "Donna Hinkle" and I've found one listed in a nearby bedroom community, but she's never lived at this number, which I have had since around 1999.

Yep, and then I get 'life insurance/dealt benefits' tired to those too...
