JW's used to stop by my grandma's house all the time. She just liked having someone to talk to while she was stuck at home (her illness forced her to retire).

I think it is funny, because, no matter what they might have told her, she was an extremely set in her ways Baptist. LOL.

Steve and I have (a possibly archaic) belief that I should never be alone with another male, except my family members of course (not his, however). We believe that I should never be in the presence of another man without there being a "crowd" around. It's worked great and I have never found myself in an awkward situation that I couldn't get out of.

These guys that come knocking on my door have no IDEA how strict we are when it comes to what we consider inappropriate interaction between a woman and an unrelated man.

We're not the only ones...

Steve's best friend Andrew came by and dropped off our Christmas present while Steve was at the store. I met him on the sidewalk, took the gift and chatted very briefly on the sidewalk, then went back into the house knowing that I was not expected to invite him in.

It makes for a very comfortable relationship between me and other men.

Funny to think I'm more old-fashioned than your grandma (and probably mine!)
