My neighbor is burning yard waste as we speak. She does it in a barrel so I guess that makes it ok. :roll:

 

Guess I won't make the neighbors mad today then! LOL

 

Oh I'm not mad... just it seems like the wind is always blowing in our direction when she burns. Which I'm sure it isn't. But it would be nice to open my windows on some of those windy spring days with out having to break out the albuterol. :lol:

 

Well, My neighbor's are arses. They were the first to greet us when we moved there.(which was nice at first) Until the first words out of the lady's mouth was ..."I'm not one to gossip, but........blah, blah, blah"
I knew more about the neighbors than I ever wanted to know.

They told us straight out they didn't like people to burn. They were complaining about other neighbors that burn. I listened about thirty minutes of our new strange neighbors complaining about one thing after another. Finally I faked a phone call and left them standing in our drive way.

A year later:
We've been clearing out pine trees and raking up the straw and burning it. (ticks, ticks,and more ticks) Then just the other day, I hear "I'm not one to spread rumors" lady yelling......."Someone call the fire department. I'm tired of smelling smoke." I just wanted to throw a rock at her!

Now this is the same lady that has the creepy husband that stares at women all the time.
But after meeting other neighbors, they say this couple is not liked by many in the neighborhood, mostly because they yell at other peoples kids and talk trash about other people in the neighborhood. Others say they burn just to make them mad! I guess you can't please them all!! We refer to these people as Creepy John and Creepy Crystal!

 

Hey DF the hubby is doing what guys do, don't knock him for that. Geezzz girl. your a bad a$$ go kick their butts. You should've yelled back F.O. Enlightened person.

 

Let them call the law, the law will laugh at them.

Are the next door? Put your burn pile on their side of your yard. :evil:

 

LOL! There's a difference between looking and staring to the point you feel uncomfortable.

As a matter of fact I said something to him a few days ago. He was staring at me and I asked him if he could see, that I was tired of his creepy arse staring at me all the time. It worked for a day or so. But he's right back to his creepiness! Argg!

 

They are across the street. Their house is an acre or two away!

 

put your clothes back on then...

 

LOL! I keep clothes on!

Oh believe me, I try to hide from him. Scared to bend over or anything. It's annoying!

 

does he use binoculars to get up close... :jester: I would make it a point to burn more if I was you.

 

No, he hovers around his driveway acting like he's working in the yard, or when he's walking their poodle. But I do get a laugh out of seeing a 6'5 250+ pound man walking a toy poodle!

 

Have a cardboard cutout of a naked woman made and place it in your yard like a scarecrow and see if that satisfies the creep. :jester:

 

LOL! Then I would have to worry about my two lil boys staring then.........good idea if I didn't have boys.....LOL

 

Hire Seabee to come stand in your yard . . . that'll scare him away. :jester::mrgreen:

 

LOL... that was a good one.. although then I would have to worry about being accosted by DF... :jester:

 

Now I like this Idea. This is the best deterant anyone could ever have.
Seabee Standing in your yard is better than any Pitbull or ADT sign.
Great Idea I Like it.
Hoof. :idea:

 

"a sticky keyboard - pepsi mess"..... Sounds like what my daughter did to my keyboard a couple of weeks ago. I still have a sticky g key and I did manage to free up the keys by using glass cleaner and a screwdriver to try to clean between the keys. This is a pain in the A$$ to clean up. They should put a label on soft drinks "warning spillage of this drink can cause computer keyboard havoc" Good luck cleaning it Hoof !!!!!

 

You asking for a whopping today? :lol:
