Good morning all!!

So Angel day huh... I think I have to nominate Linda @JoesMum for all of her time in the rescues, sewing the COVID masks, providing supplies for neighbors and numerous other helpful tasks that I’ve read of...

I’m being lazy this far in the motel hotel... if Dad has to stay until tomorrow, I’m thinking of visiting the Houston zoo... it’s not too far:)

Cinder says that she doesn’t care..View attachment 304136
Sweet dreams Cinders

Good evening all. It's not been a good day here weather wise - wet and very windy but nothing as bad as hurricanes. I hope anyone affected by those expected in the US stay safe....it sounds very scary!

I've had a bad day today - big row with nasty neighbours whose dumping of rubbish in the lane at the end of my garden has escalated lately and then today they cleared a space to permanently leave one of their 5 large bins there too. It may sound petty but it was the last straw when I saw that. To cut a long story short I ended it by telling them if it was left there I would ring the council and the housing association who own their house. She told me I was being pathetic - but the bin was moved!!! :)
I expect they'll get their own back somehow eventually.
Hope you've all had or are having a better day!

Sorry that I can't help you, Lyn.
This sounds right up "my alley".

Hi Ed hope you are well and having a good weekend.
Thank you ma'am.
Nothing particularly great or horrible here.
So, I suppose that is good.
I'm sorry that you have so little to celebrate right now.
You're overdue for a lot of wonderful!

After my nice (still) neighbors tree crush my garage and fence I rebuilt. I got a shed, made an outdoor storage shed, and move my fence in 3’ from where it had been. This made a 16’ x 3’ zone that has become a trash bin “safe zone”. I have two trash and one recycle, but often I find 2-3 more out there if the trash guys get lazy! ? couldn’t have worked out better

Sadly I don't have the space in my tiny garden to be as generous with. There is a long history of problems with my neighbours and it's become so bad recently that I'm looking to move, not something I want to do as this is my old family home, but it's too much of a strain wondering what they are going to do next.

Hope something nice happens for you soon too or at least stays on an even keel.

One of my other neighbours who doesn't like the husband suggested I get some of the tough lads in the area to give the him a good beating. I thought he was joking but he said he knew some who would do it for the price of a good night out in the pub!! Pretty reasonable I think!
If you don't hear from me for a while I'll be in Cardiff Prison!!?

I hope you're day gets better. It's those little petty things that add up to finally putting your foot ? down. If they don't like it too durn bad. But I figure you're like me. It makes me feel bad and half sick to have to go that far. Maybe you should go ahead and call your housing association and tell someone. It sounds like they know they're guilty. They just didn't care about their neighbors.

Thanks Cathy and you're right on all counts. I hate confrontation but sometimes you've got to make your feelings known otherwise you get walked all over. My neighbours usually do stuff when I'm out, and even though I get annoyed when I see what they've done I wouldn't go and knock on their door about it - but as I was home today and saw what they were up to, I had to say something - took all my courage though!!!

You can get Frappe coffee which is iced coffee, It sounds lovely but when I tried one a friend made, I thought it should have started with a C rather than an F. Maybe it was her technique.
Frappe is crushed ice flavored with a small amount of coffee flavor, cream, and sugar.? I always hated cold coffee until I had just a good strong coffee over some ice with a touch of liquid sugar.

I know. If I have to do a confrontation like that I shake from the inside out... It makes me sick that I have to do it.

Me too, I'm not a very brave person and it's harder when you're on your own against 2 or more of them. Plus there's always the worry and waiting to see how they'll retaliate.
All I ask for is some consideration!
Hope you're having a good weekend.

OMG! I love Mt Dew! I drink a lot of Mt Dew. I have chronic kidney failure, and my Dr. told me the Dew was hurting my dying kidneys and was killing me. So I quit Dew for about 6 months. Thought I was dying of thirst the whole time, I'm back on the Dew now
I also have that addiction...I did manage to switch to diet a few years back when I quit smoking... I really loved it when they came out with the zero version but I can’t find them any more so I guess that was a limited time deal...
