  2. I love picture 9 of The Ugliest House, the No Soliciting sign. No solicitor in their right mind would ever dare to negotiate their way to the front door, even if they could find it!

  3. That Iphone app did not work for me at Ralphs. Maybe because I have a mirror screen cover. But this app has mixed reviews. Ive yet to try it at other stores.
