Neighbors always yelling

So I'm chilling out in my garage tonight and the neighbor kids are riding their bikes out in the street. The dad comes out and says to his 7 year old daughter "I'm going to beat your ass" I guess she had tipped over a potted plant on their patio.

I don't have kids but if I did I doubt I would say that to my 7 year old daughter. If u follow me over on parf you know I'm moving and I can't wait. This is a daily thing over there and it makes chilling out in the garage uncomfortable for me.

In my new home I hope to

A) not hear constant yelling and fighting from across the street.

B) buy on2wheels gold and get some chick to rub it all over herself like the photo in that thread.

And C) be surrounded by Asian women.

At least one of these items is doable. Right?

Nice.

My kids frustrate the crap out of me somedays but I can't imagine saying that to them.


Good luck on your move.

My neighbors on the right are retired Doctors. Both hail from India and are incredibly nice to us...each other not nearly as much. Their son, also a Doc, much much worse. Weekly screaming matches indoors and out about money problems (yet they just purchased cash a professional building).

I hope to no be that bitter and angry when I reach their age.

Todd is tying the knot so I'll bet you could trade something cool for his black book. Guaranteed lots of Asian girls

My black book is long since out of date. I've been monogamous for 4+ years.

Well, with women, not basses...

Something to be said for living in a neighbor of empty nesters.

The kids next door to the renovation house are great, and a great laugh.

This morning the two year old boy came running out onto the footpath with his three yearold sister in hot pursut. They had a slow motion fist fight being careful not to hit the other person. The little guy saw me and stopped and waved with both arms while the 3 year old girl laughed loudly and got him in a headlock. Didn't worry the little guy one bit who kept waving. Then the six year old girl - very cute very smart, came stalking up the footpath asking where is Mr. Rooney. Mr. Rooney is just "Rooney" and he's a dog. Once she found out Rooney wasn't there she politely enquired as to how my injured eye is. I'm so jealous, I wish I had kids. Even horrible ones.

Sometimes the ones across the street come ask me to ride bikes with them. I usually do and its a lot of fun until one of the parents comes out and screams at them.

They have 5 kids and the mom has 4 or 5 boyfriends who come over during the day. Its a serious mess over there you guys!

Yup, those are all doable, Slack. First, get yourself some personal peace. Get happy. Content. Wimmin will follow you home. Various sizes and colors. They're not the thing to focus on, though. Think of them as a pleasant distraction.

Sweet, when is the house warming. I'm up for all three (but neither of us will be wearing the gold leaf)

I moved into a house and of course a new neighborhood 6 months ago.

I am somewhat of a kid magnet. I do appreciate them-not all.

I moved into a neighborhood with kids on purpose so my Son can make new friends.

The first kid I met was Nakita. I really nice 12 year old girl that i thought would make a friend for my Son.

I always said 'hi' to her and spoke a few words. I even bought G. Guide cookies from her.

-Anyway, while I was sitting on the front steps of the house, her father drives by and then stops.
He calls me over and I introduce myself and he as well.

He then asks me if I've been talking to his daughter-Nakita.
I said yes and she is a very nice girl.

He then tells me that I should have first introduced myself to him before I said anything to his daughter. I said- pardon me?

I then told him that i don't wish to date your daughter, I just introduced myself and he should consider himself fortunate that I, being a caring and watchful parent is a bonus to this neighborhood.

In the last 4 months his daughter doesn't say hello,nor acknowledge me in any way when she sees me.

Even when my Son is walking the cat, she will make sure to go on the opposite side of the street.

How sad.

If you did not have to go through a 14-page registration process and give them your cc#, I might check out that site some time.

"buy on2wheels gold and get some chick to rub it all over herself like the photo in that thread"

I might be better off donating them to a cause like that than trying to milk a profit out of the stuff.

My closest neighbors are all about 1/2 mile or more away. Cannot see any of them in the summer when the trees are green, can only see one in the dead of winter. Cannot hear any of them unless they are cutting wood or out targe practicing. Apparently I am the noisy neighbor, they have told me so but they also told me they are glad I am living there so I cannot be that bad!!! (My bull likes to call out to us when he wants an apple and he is LOUD. That and the shooting sessions more often than the rest of the "neighborhood".

Yep, I've been noticing that about you recently! Leaving your first true love sitting on a shelf while you try the rest of the pack! Better hope she still loves you when you return, they ALWAYS return

I am the old guy on the block that will help put the chain back on your bike. About two years ago a whole bunch of families with kids moved in. The sound of kids in all of their phases of growing up is refreshing. The only thing that bothers me in my little corner of the world is the barking dogs. I may be a cranky old fart, but kids, for some reason as I age are just remarkable. Some of my older neighbors agree, we have a great little block and the families and the kids playing and growing up are a chance for us to experience it all over again.

Barking dogs are the scourge of the neighborhood. You can always tell the gentility of a neighborhood by the behavior of the children, but the damn dogs are the same everywhere.

But it's so fooking noisy here all day and part of the evening that it all becomes a distant drone. Starts off this morning with 2 different dogs barking at 6am. The jets start taking off at 7. The sirens have been out and about already and that goes on all day. I don't know how there can be so many emergencies. The personal aircraft will be in the air shortly and happy hour for them is noon and 5 pm. And there is street construction to contend with; some days not so bad, others kinda noisy. Can't forget the general traffic out on the boulevard.

So, if you guys can hear the kids or better yet, the wind in the trees, enjoy.

Where all you have to worry about is getting time on the shuffle board court and making it to the restaurant in time for the early bird special.

If I can see the dogs that means they are running loose on my property which means they are likely worrying my livestock which means either one of my horses, cows, or myself are going to be killing a dog fairly soon.

Can barely hear the dogs barking! But can hear the trucks on the road..... Hate the road.
