Re:die neighbor die (not really) teacherwriterguy: I always tell them that they teach us how to have radar ears in "teacher college". :P
It's actually funny - you do learn how to pick out multiple conversations in a crowded room. The better to hear who's doing their work and who's not! :)
Anyhow...
I just got back from the neighbors. Marched up to the door and said essentially, "Hi. Thanks for your concern. The house is not abandoned. Please feel free to knock on MY door anytime you have questions."
And that was that. As the story unraveled, I also found out that they called HER workplace as well.
Sheesh!
Alrighty - on to my FUN Friday night plans. I have to run to Target, get more file folders to keep track of all my divorce paperwork.
What a life, what a life.

p.s. Hey LT - as I was sitting at my school computer before I went to the neighbors', I was thinking, "Alright. I have to leave the school. This site is too addicting." Just thought you'd want to know! ;D
Re:die neighbor die (not really) Amira: LMAO
I am sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you (if such a thing is possible).
During my first divorce, as I was moving out, the neighbor took pictures as I'm loading my OWN THINGS into the car. He then informed my ex-husband that I had "stolen" the TV, Stereo, etc., from the house. Even though those things were mine from before we even met or married.
After my ex moved out and I was allowed to come back to get the very few things that had been left for me, he and another neighbor broke into the house and stole anything that wasn't nailed down.
Aren't neighbors nice? My dream is to own a piece of property someday and I don't care if the house I build on it is a little one bedroom--so long as I can't see my neighbors!
Re:die neighbor die (not really) teacherwriterguy: You know, I was irritated at the moment, but I'm chuckling over it the more I think of it tonight.
You can absolutely laugh with me, Amira.
Besides - I actually did go out and buy new filing folders for all the paperwork. Multi-colored too.
And if you can't get excited about multi-colored filing folders, what CAN you get excited about?
I need to go to sleep.

Re:die neighbor die (not really) Sad Eyes: TWG~
Don't you hate neighbors like that!!! If anything...feel sorry for them...they obviously don't have a life that is why they are in YOUR business. That's too bad... :-\
Having a neighbor like that may want to tempt me to:
1. Write a nice message (That she can read) and hang in on the side of the house where she can read it. :D
Or
2. Make her a delicious batch of Brownies with a special chocolate called "Exlax" which is found in your personal needs department at the grocery store and bring it over to her and tell her "Thanks! For being such a concerned neighbor and keeping an eye for you..." and as you leave make sure you tell her to Enjoy! :P
Sorry....I hate neighbors like that! :)

My file folders are blue hanging folders with baby blue interior folders...and yes, the file labels are color coded too. I can't help it, I like everything to be pretty.
Maybe you should start a campaign of too much information for your neighbors while you're still there. You know...as you leave in the morning and they are watching:
"Hey Mrs. H, off to work now, should be home about 5:30, planning on having pizza tonight. Man did I wake up with the morning breath today. Oh well, have a great day!"
"Hey Mrs. H, home from work now. How'd your day go? Yeah, mine went great! I banged a secretary from Science and Biology in the lab room. Too bad I almost caught my boxers on fire from smacking up against one of the bunsen burners."
"Hey, Mrs. H. Were you and the Mr having a fight last night? I'm sorry he's being such a Pr*ck to you....I'd be telling all my relatives what a jacka$$ he is too! Ooops, sorry Mr. H, didn't see you standing there, although, I must admit, Mrs. H is a bit b*tchy when she's on the rag--you're right about that one."
O.k., so those are TERRIBLY vulgar and disgusting (and for those of you who don't know me well I do NOT make a habit of going around saying things like to anybody, but I'm just saying.....
