I hate this kind of stuff. I have always been all for making an effort to get along with your immediate neighbors, but I have to say, it never seems to get better. Know what I mean? It either gets worse or stays the same...folks who are apt to act this way are kind of always that way.When I lived in a brownstone I had a neighbor who was bothered by my garden light, which was set off by a motion detector. He wanted me to turn it off. Now, it's not like you have a lot of critters (stray pets or raccoons or whatevs) wandering around in the city. Once in awhile, the wind would blow hard enough to move the tree branches. I just adjusted it so it didn't shine in his yard at all; he complained a few more times, but I just politely declined. Few months later he was complaining my BBQ was too smokey, and bothered his asthmatic wife (the row house lots were 25 x 100, and my Weber was as far away from his back door as possible). It wasn't constant, but enough of an annoyance we just avoided them.We've been living here for 9 months and our neighbours are insistent on getting off on the wrong foot. So far this summer they asked us to go halves on their backyard fence...which serves us no purpose...then built the fence on our side of the property line, left all the dirt from digging the holes on our side (which is on our paved driveway). This was all just smile andtype stuff.
We have a friend who comes by almost daily that drives a quad. It's a 2008 that is his pride and joy so it's well maintained. Anyway, when he comes he parks in our driveway which attaches to this PITA neighbour. He usually leaves about 9 o'clock every evening. The neighbour has now told us that this friend starting up his bike wakes the neighbours daughter. I'm not sure what he's expecting here...for the friend to leave earlier? to stay over night?He's on our property and it's no louder than a car starting in our driveway. We own a taxi business, cars are in and out of our driveway at all hours. Whiny tool.
But I swear, I never hear somebody tell neighbor stories that turn around. Oh it was bad, but then...
Never.

Since we are talking about neighbors.
Ours are renters that have been here about 6 months, the owner just put the house on the market about a month ago. That pretty much sucks but i guess this guy figures it doesn't matter what he does or who he pisses off now. He was a decent guy in the beginning.
So anyway, the wife goes out front this morning and the neighbors dog is taking a morning steamer on our lawn. She sees **** (his name is Richard) out in his driveway and he calls the dog over. She says "i hope you are going to take care of this" and he says he does while scratching the dogs head and telling him how good a dog he is.
Couple hours later i go out to my truck and notice the pooches present still on the lawn! Let me add, this is not the first time something has ended up in the lawn since they moved in, but it was the first time the dog was caught in full squat and the first time **** got caught allowing it.
I grabbed a shovel and launched the pile over the back fence onto his patio. The next one, should it happen again, will end up on the hood of a car in his driveway!!
Let the neighbor games begin!!!

Here's an interesting proposition I made tonight: My main FBB league is H2H (I know 
), here are the pertinent facts:
1) I play the first-place team in the last week of the regular season.
2) The first-place team cannot fall out of first no matter what happens in the last week
3) I'm currently in 6th, the last playoff spot, with a decent shot of hanging on. My team has been gravely decimated by injury over the last three weeks, and has gone from very good to terrible.
4) The team in 5th is hot, and a couple games ahead of me. 4th and 5th meet in the quarters, with the winner playing 1st plac.e
Thus, I proposed that 1st place team tank his final-week matchup to me, thereby allowing me to slip into 5th, thereby increasing the chances that he wins in the semifinals, thereby helping us both out, at the expense of a couple other teams.
I think he might go for it. I also think this might create a poo-storm (hi Joe). Thoughts?

A girl at Foxwoods won the bad beat jackpot at the poker tables. For those who don't play, they take a buck out of every pot from every table in the poker room, and put it in a progressive jackpot. The "winner" in this poker room is the person who gets a "bad beat" by having four of a kind and still losing the hand. It's very difficult to have this happen - you'd have to have two people get four of a kind during the same hand, or one get a straight flush while the other gets four of a kind. It might happen once every few months, and if it goes longer, sometimes the pot gets really huge. Well, this girl "wins" by losing with four of a kind, which means she's going to win over a hundred grand, and so is the person who beat her, and everyone else at the table is going to get several thousand just for being present. Meanwhile, the game is stopped and the casino reviews the tapes to make sure nobody cheated, takes everyone's ID, fills out their W2-G winnings, and so on. Unfortunately for her, instead of coming back with a big check for her, they come back with the police. Because she was underage, and had given them her fake ID when she won the jackpot. So instead of winning a six figure jackpot, they took her away in cuffs. Now that's a bad beat.

Luckily I was never that lucky on my many underage trips to Biloxi back in the day. I remember one drunken night where I walked in one door and got carded, getting one of my lesser ID's taken from me. I walked around to the other entrance and entered with a back-up, getting in without question. I was more than prepared with 2 more ID's before I had to go to my sure thing which was a fake ID I had created by the Mobile, AL DMV. One of my fraternity brothers gave me his birth certificate to go and get a DL made. We were a similar height at weight with the same hair color and ID's were easy to fake back then. I'm certain I'd trade all of that for today's college experience considering the girls back in my college years were into grunge and still feeling the effects of the AIDS scare. Girls these days seem easy by comparison while fake ID's aren't.

When we first moved in he commented how the light over our back garage shines right in through his bedroom window and keeps them awake. I turned it on last night. He doesn't want to piss me off or he'll be moving the entire 100ft of fence off my property.I hate this kind of stuff.

So, I had an informal 'interview' with a manager from another group about a position that I was told might be interesting. Turns out it's not so much a horizontal move but a management position leading a small group of business improvement specialists. It's nowhere near a done deal, but damn if that wouldn't be a good move for me. I'm also meeting with two other companies this week to see what they have to offer.

Did you tell him he sounds like a girl?I heard the voice of a young lady in the halls of our office. When I turned to see what she looked like, I see a 10 year old boy, the son of one of my collegues.

No, his dad was with him.I just got back from lunch and saw the kid hanging around the cubicles take phantom practice swings with no bat. It's pretty hot outside today. Lots of nice business ladies in short skirts out and about.Did you tell him he sounds like a girl?I heard the voice of a young lady in the halls of our office.

crazy old due used to walk his dog around the neighborhood every day & let his dog crap wherever it pleased & never cleaned it up. i confronted him once & he explained that he only let the dog crap between the sidewalk and the road within the public right-of-way. since it was "city property" it was OK to allow the dog to crap & never clean it up. that was his reasoning. revenge was simple and direct. i still had 2 dogs at this time. i saved up 2 weeks of dog poop (both dogs x 2 weeks) in a bucket & went over to his house while he was washing his car. i got out and emptied the bucket on his yard and exclaimed "city property!"it never happened again.zander_s said:

Ben is home. He has a wicked problem with acid reflux, but as long as we take the right precautions everything should be fine, and by the time he hits 6 months it will probably be all gone. Far, far better diagnosis than some of the other possibilities they were throwing at us Thursday night.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

Wife and I were at the grocery store the other day. There was a woman there wearing a half-shirt. She was about 30 years too old and 50 pounds to heavy to be wearing it. After we passed her I said "Yeah, let's go no half-shirts from now on."
Wife:
Me: Um...forget it.

Is he too young for Prevacid? I've had great luck with that, especially on days when I'm drinking (-y days). HTHI forgot how long it takes to drive to Nashville, but I learned why I have never gotten word on my season ticket application for the Titans. They announced tonight it was the 110th sell-out... for a preseason game. Didn't they go 4-12 on the year recently? I know they haven't been "that" good since the early 2000's. I figured I'd be in by now, but regardless, it was nice to get in cheap to the club level seats and be reminded why it's worth it to shell out the extra cash for the good games. FYI, Vince Young still has trouble hitting water when falling out of a boat and Chris Johnson can make magic out of stale beans.

Good news!We went through the same thing with our kid shortly after he was born. To make matters worse, my wife caught the Norwalk virus from one of the kids on our floor, and then I caught it...so thank God our parents were available to stay overnight with him, because were both a mess for a few days.
