We have had some fun and some sad stories about our next door neighbors

Would everyone like to share some of theirs with us.

** today I was getting ready for our winter weather, I got my generator out and get it started, well in about 30 min my next door neighbor got his out and started doing the same

That was the fun one, now for the next one the house behind me, decided he was going to sight the scope on his muzzle loader so he sits up a target on the other side of the road from his house ( the target is a pizza box) and he is shooting across the county road, at the target.

My neighbors or a class act. There is something cool about each one of them.

Two of them are actually my friends, and not just neighbors, those are the ones who live across the street. They are from California, and once in a while I go over there and sit with them. Just got back from giving them a box of homemade candy.

Thats where the normality stops.

All the others neighbors have their own charm. The row houses in the 50' wide lots below me, are not welfare houses, everyone works, but they are strictly paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes its fun to watch them fight. Had one of the neighbors blow a drive axle while climing up the hill beside the house, went to offer assistance, and go in the middle of two of the other neighbors squabbling.

Then there are the HUD houses caddy corner to my house, every six months brings a new surprise. Will they be calm pot heads? Or roudy music blasters? How many dogs will they bring this time?

There is a teacher that lives right across the other street from me. (Im on a corner lot) She's cool, but she's a veggitarian, so I have yet to figure out how to invite her to cookouts without offence.

Everyone is friendly, those who are not, keep to theirself. The last "bad" neighbor I had was the one who loved to ride his un-muffled dirtbike all over the streets at 45 MPH. That lasted all of about 3 months, untill the finally got tired of the rest of us constantly calling the law on him.

All in all, not a bad place to live, but it is an aquired taste.

When the leaves are gone in the winter, you can see across the hollar to drug alley, a place to avoid.
If you search realtor.com for Pulaski Virginia, you will see, two or three houses prices at 20k or less. These are the houses located in that section of town, and I wouldnt board my dog in those houses.

If anyone here is interested in living next to me, here is an affordable fix-er-uper: http://www.realtor.com/Prop/1060327884

I live in your average rural area of Idaho. Swastkas on each and every mail box with Nazi flags hanging from the guard towers that line the long driveways into the numerous compounds hidden by huge, old growth pine trees. Early on Saturday mornings, one can hear the joyfull cadence of the marching Hitler youth training somewhere in the forest. The deafening sound of high explosives rattle the windows and ocasionally dirt and debris rain down on everything in the yard. Yep, better have a good boat cover!
The small coffeshop down at the crossroads does not allow people handing out White Power booklets to the tourists any longer, not since the Feds have been sitting out there in their white van. We all know who they are though since that is the only place to purchase donuts within 50 miles.

There is a saying that goes: "Show me with whom you associate or where you prefer to live and I will know what kind of person you are."

Oh and here I always thought it took more than that... like a sneak peek into their fridge and a fast perusal of their bookcases(s) LOL but really the dead giveaway is know my dog, know me --and I have the sweetest doe-eyed black lab by which you have ever been flirted with.

It was a joke Starman. That is the joke here, everyone thinks you are a Nazi if you live in Idaho. That was just a few misguided souls. I really like the way you go after the jugular and judge everyone so harshly. People like you are the reason I do not attend churchs nor follow a religion. I would always end up hurting their feelings. It is a good thing no one can reach you so you can get your revenge on the world without getting yours hurt!

magprob

Where I live, nothing ever happens, just the way I like it! Idaho rules!

magprob

No, you gotta look into their junk drawer. Then you will know for sure. My dog will just sniff your but!

Starman

People like me? Really? I didn't realize you could see that much from such a distance. Well, I guess you are just judging me on my quotation of that particular saying. But naturally that's not going for the jugular in your case. In my case of course-it would be I suppose. But in your case, why, it's just good natured joshing.


BTW
As for church attendance, I don't go to church either so I guess we are similar in that respect. The difference is that unlike you I take responsibility for my decisions instead of conveniently blaming others.


As for reaching me in order to hurt and get revenge comment???? That simply demonstrates what I originally said in my quotation.

magprob

Ya, whatever, isn't it you bed time...don't you need to rest that big, throbbing brain of yours.

Starman

Thank you for the big throbbing brain compliment. But, nawwww. I'll sleep when I die--so what's the hurry?
