A few days ago the lady Osso had a need to come over to our house to check on the well being of Lady Diane and THE DYS. We had not answered the phone nor the door bell so she just came in thru the garage (which was open) and noticed that we were both sound asleep but yesterday she told us she felt "icky" just coming into our house as if she was some kind of stranger invading our home. I responded that I felt she was never considered a "stranger".
I assume that many or most people have friends that we don't consider "strangers" and are welcome to "intrude" into our households.
So I guess yer point is that "YOU HAVE FRIENDS" Well, I dont have any friends you dum sumabitch and I dont know why.

Yes to the 1st asumption & NEVER to the 2nd.

Those who are friends certainly can do that.

interesting, especially the NEVER, Osso, our friend, knows both of us are somewhat medically fragile and would only enter our household out of concern for our well being.
There for a minute I thought Bernie and Lola had returned.
Phhht! Wouldn't that have been awful!
The friends that have keys to my house, I trust and they would only "intrude" for reasons that would be acceptable to me. Such as emergency, need or concern. I see nothing wrong with that.
That's why they have keys and that's why they are called friends.
Well, there's more to the story than that, but I'll leave it there.
Exactly, Caribou. These are people who would never intrude--they would have a good reason to just come in without being invited.
Another friend of ours had pm'd Osso, expressing some concern about our seeming absence. Only after several calls over several hours, did Osso decide that something might be wrong.
One reason we love her so much is her sense of privacy and respect for the privacy of others.
BTW, Dys was being nice, including me in the medically fragile category. I'm not medically fragile, I simply hate the phone and take advantage of being hard of hearing. Being hard of hearing is conveniently situational at times.
I'm pretty much of the "never" mindset - if it's a pop-in sort of thing.
If it's a pre-arranged check-up, or a response to some sort of signal, ok.

I would generally consider friends coming to, or into, the house unexpectedly intruding. They're my friends because they know I don't appreciate the pop-in.
There are certain persons who are allowed to enter my home without knocking or being invited, which is why I am never naked, even when showering or changing clothes.
edgar, you shower with your clothes on? why not just lock the bathroom door?

Yeah, dys doesn't want to tell us about waking up with lipstick and nail polish on.
Can you blame him?
I think people are only 'intruding' if they know they're not welcome to just walk on in, etc.

It gets a bit difficult, going about with sopping wet shoes and sox, the majority of the time.
not to mention the sloppy mess and swooshy noises you make everywhere where you go...
I bet she ate your ice cream
Strangers in the house, exchanging glances
Wond'ring who was home, what were the chances
We'd be intruding and then thought so rudely of
Strangers in the house
Just making sure that every one's okay
Tried not to wake you up, but sopping clothes gave us away
Spreading water all over your floors and stairs, oy vey!
You, too, eh?
