Re:die neighbor die (not really) Shanna: OW was my neighbor...so when I moved I made sure not to meet any of the new neighbors.
Oh and a week after I moved in my neighbors put up a privacy fence TALLER than my 8 foot privacy fence. That is a little much. ::)

Re:die neighbor die (not really) paul76: You have to love this country. The news has made some people so paranoid that they put of 10 ft. privacy fences because the 8 ft. ones just couldnt get the job done!
My neighbors in Vermont took pictures of me coming home with another woman while my stbx was out of town. She then gave the photos to my stbx and told her that I was cheating. Well, that "other" woman turned out to be my mom who was visiting for the weekend! Some people need to get a life!
Re:die neighbor die (not really) teacherwriterguy: I like the instant update idea. Could I run a ticker? Like a digital ticker I could set in the window facing their house?
"Still here... house not abandoned... eating crackers now... done eating crackers... doing laundry... EMERGENCY UPDATE: I coughed... done with laundry..."
Another fun neighbor tidbit:
They hang compact discs from their tree branches. I THINK it's so the reflected light scares away the birds? They don't like anyone interrupting their privacy (pot, kettle, black!)
They rope off their driveway so trucks can't turn around in it. Every time they come home in their car, they have to get out, take down the rope, pull in, get out again, and put up the rope.
Oh... and color-coding the labels for the hanging file folders? I think I just found my morning project...

Re:die neighbor die (not really) Amira: Lord love a duck. I can't imagine having to get out of my car every night to undo a rope for pete's sakes. Is their last name Rockefeller? Because only filthy rich people like that need to keep people out of their driveways!!!!
I like the digital read-out display.
They hang CD's from the tree branches? You should take a few friends and a boombox and start discoing in their front yard.
"What? Oh, I thought this was a mirror ball, I thought it would make a cool club!"
I can see you doing the John Travolta pose from Saturday Night Fever now!
Oh you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a ladie's man, no time to talk!
You're color coding your file labels?!? ALAS my neuroses has spread to the unfortunate unsuspecting masses! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!
Re:die neighbor die (not really) teacherwriterguy: Hey Amira... my screenname in a prior life was Duckling. Lord does love a duck. :)
They do indeed hang CDs from the tree branches.
When we had a stray cat in the neighborhood, they put a little dish of food for it IN MY YARD so that the cat wouldn't go in their yard. Not that I minded, I'm a cat person, but still...
If I do the John Travolta dance move, can I do the white man's overbite? If I'm going to look lame, I'd like to go whole hog... :)
Still staring at that pile of multi-colored labels. I think they are calling my name...
