i would be suuuuuch a good neighbor to you too!!!!!!
I was thinking ....
These brats have it good.. because I AM QUIET.
If I move I’ll make sure to get a family with young kids to move in and play music and TVs whilst smoking POT!!
That will teach these buggers!
This has happened to me in a job once.
I was in love with my job but a new boss came in and was really nasty and hard on everyone ..and slowly everyone quit.
So eventually I did too...
It was soooo incrediblely sad
Even the new general manager threw me a going away party with a sheet cake!!!
He barley knew me!!!
But like I said I am very nice and respectful
To others ...
so he just said “I see that you are so loved here I just had to do something! “
“You will be dearly missed!”
I started to cry???!
Do you know!!.....
6 months later that boss of mine was fired for raising his hands to another guy and almost starting a fight!!!
So there I was left out in the cold and all my long time friends (very much like family) were all scattered to slowly loose touch with... I miss those years. They were the best times I’ve ever had. ?☹
So unfair how selfish bullies can affect the lives of others.
I have said exactly the same about my house - when I sell, I will make sure they get the neighbours they deserve!
I do have one way of getting back at them which is because the woman ran up debts and almost lost the house it was taken over by a housing association, and they pay rent to stay there. So if they don't do something about the tv after I have asked them politely I can contact their landlords. It's just being in the uncomfortable situation of having to complain that I hate.

You are most likely still a chef... I say cook and don't invite them for dinner.??
I don't have neighbor problems like you do. But when I did and I wanted to disturb them as well...I'd take a recording I made of a NASCAR race at Talladega, put it in at 4 am, crank it up, and go out for coffee and forget to turn it down. ?

I'm the one that's about to get new neighbors. My neighbors have all been great but I hate their landlord.? He tried to tell me that maple seeds are just helicopters and won't grow in our yard. It's complicated...?

I agree, I am really looking forward to Jan 20th 2021.
Me too.. That's Dads birthday and I’m sure gonna celebrate the fact that he’s still here.. He’s been the one constant in my life that’s never changed.. right now, he’s asleep in a hotel 4 hours away from home ( when I know he’s run down from Chemo) just so he can watch Jayden close to me while Jess has another surgery.. He’s where I get my strength from and I’m very thankful.. Guess I better make sure and tell him first thing in the morning :) Thanks for reminding me!

Here are two snaps of the dried loofah. I need to still shake the seeds out, probably give it a trim.


Ogh, like our next door neighbor’s lawn guy who decided that 0700 on Easter Sunday was a good time to cut the entire lawn & blow the grass about all morning long. Easter Sunday morning......for hours.
I just put 5 seeds in a germinating mixture of water and will be planting them as well. Hopegully they take better this time. Are they shade loving or sun loving or semi loving plants?

Good Afternoon All,

I started reading this morning then had to walk upstairs into the office to start the day and consequently forgot to carry on reading. LOL Oh how easily my mind gets distracted............I look up and around and ask: "Ummm what were we talking about again?"

Oh well, It is Tuesday, which means you can choose how you want to spend your day. You can either choose to have a positive day or you can choose to shoot everybody. Personally I think that sometimes you just have to let go and shoot some people, I mean you cannot always be diplomatic, now can you!!! So lets see, what can we post to cheer everybody up with???????

I wish all the best for you and your family!!
You are now almost always on my mind.
I am keeping the faith.... seeing that’s all I have any more.
chin(s) up—chest out—butt up..?
let’s go!
EllieMay - from recent experience all I can say is : “wow- god DOES work In mysterious ways... He DOES...He truly DOES!”
I think it is a test ..
To see if we can hold on till HE answers the prayer...
Stay strong !
We are ALL with you! ??❤️

I WILL HAVE A NIIIIIICCCCEEEEE Day! ??
Thanks to all of you and your fantastic ideas and humorous stories .
I feel so much better.!
