Wow Kate, I would tell this man that your Blueberry Patch is officially closed for the season...and that he must not come through the fence or knock on your door because "your husband" sleeps during the day and gets cranky when he is disturbed...please be very careful...you might even ask yourlocal police officer to just "drive by" sometime when he is there...you can't be too careful.

Dotsie the sign sounds brilliant.Then even if he asks again you could say Yes I keep strict bounderies. Could you get a male family member or friend to say that you keep a no canvassing etc policy and politly tell the man not to call.You need not give any reasons. Most of the problems I encounter have been about personal bounderies.. Today an aquaintance asked me how I was after my hospital op.She knew from my absence at church.I said I was recovering well.She then ask what was it I had done...that her friend who was a pharmacist would be interested.(I have never met this friend who was waiting in her car)The fct I was in the womens' hospital tells it was "down below"but no this woman wanted details..She did however ask me to lunch.I just cant wait girls!!!

Interesting that Ann327 felt the mans personal bounderies were significant. I would like opinions about personal bounderies.Especially that we all reside in different places. EG when meeting the kiss of welcome.A French friend does this twice (on each cheek)wheras is Scotland New Year was the only time I saw this wehn growing up. With more travel and relocation we must have changed a bit. I tried to teach sp. ed. students about bounderies.They can fuzz up what is acceptable. What is the norm where you live... NMountain ash

They do have those "No soliciting" signs that to me means generally "no uninvited people" ~ subtle way ~ I too thought he was your neighbor ~ If it were me, I would call the police ~ maybe he has wandered away from his home and someone is looking for him ~ Do be careful ~ Hugs and Namaste

Kate, I understand your concern and appreciate you're radar (intuition), which is usually a caution predictor. I've a neighbor similar, a widower who likes to put his hands on women and make inappropriate comments towards them when he is unwelcome. Thus, I've learned not to 'invite' him, for instance when he is nearby I act as if I don't see him and become occupied, walk the other way when approaches on street, or any other public area. You see, his wife's death was ruled 'accidental' and for some unknown reason to me, he was not awarded the insurance policy of which he had increased a few weeks before the 'accident.'
Kate, it simply may also be innocent, yet I do understand the nuissance. Do you have a dog?

This is the whining zone right....Waaahhh, I have a very bad cold and just feel really yucky! Guess that's a good excuse to visit the forum and be lazy tonight.

Thanks for the nice words dance and chatty. I am feeling a lot better today, still have some sinus congestion, but getting better every day. My son and husband have it now, so stocking up on the tissues.
