    Thank-You. I could see the messages on Seniors Only Club but couldn't communicate on my cell phone. Century Link was so slow, and for $107.00 a month was only getting 10 megabits. Pip said I could get that for $20.00 a month. He talked with them and asked point blank, "Just how many other Seniors are you RIPPING off?" Before he moved to New Mexico, he had a sideline repairing computers. And charged by the job never by the hour. Best Buy, Geek Squad charges by the hour. When we would go to Best Buy, he'd say, think I'll put my hacker clothes on. (kidding). The ones from Geek Squad would give us mean looks, then hear undertones, Yep he's the one that undercuts us. Geek Squad can't charge by job it's not in their contract, it's a $100.00 first hour around here.:)

    Good grief. I think I'm going to have to invest in a sign that says, "push, don't pull" for the front gate. It's now broken, thanks to idiots pulling it, rather than pushing it in. Maybe I should put a tip jar out there to collect money from all those who've pulled, rather than pushed, and broken it.

    If I had more black ink, and some colored ink, I'd print that and hang it up. It's seriously irritating, since I can't fix it and the landlady won't, of course. The least they could do would be to shut the dang gate after they're through mangling it. :confused::mad:

    It is annoying - in fact I'm feeling annoyed for you, if I lived close by I'd come round and make them pay !

    https://www.amazon.com/Sticker-Decal-Vinyl-Business-Store/dp/B00KB0ZLAI I found these. I might get them. I also saw some others though, about no soliciting, no nuts, etc., so I'll have to think about it for a while before making a purchase ;):D:p.

    What annoys me is my neighbor parking in front of my house, it's not illegal just p*sses me off. When I look out my front window all I see is their cars.

    I park my car in my garage. My driveway is empty and I would like that little piece of space in the front to be empty too.

    But, they have at least 4 cars...I have one. They could park them in their driveway but then they always have to move cars around when the one in the garage wants out.

    These are my worst neighbors also, anybody else I'd let park even in my driveway on the side that I never open...but I'm not fond of these people....the only ones in the whole neighborhood. The one that wanted me to chip in for a fence that his dogs broke down....grrrrr

    @Chrissy Page - yep I recall that incident
    Although there are some oddballs where I live at least I can avoid them most of the time, I've experienced rotten
    neighbours, we can only hope that your lot don't get any worse and you at least know the score with them
    They have a docu over here about neighbours, we had to stop watching it - SCARY !!

    Ugh. It seems the ones next to me finally learned not to have the son's girlfriend park in my ditch/in front of my house on the street (half in/half on) when she sleeps over. I don't know if they broke up, but she stopped parking in my ditch when I woke the wife up early one morning asking her to move it so I could weed eat my ditch. They have a large long driveway, and a ditch in front of their yard, as well as their un-fenced front yard. Now someone parks out front of their place, and I think it's her (new wife's) son. They do have parties fairly frequently, and those guests park all over in front of my house. They do have one friend that always asks if I'm out there, if I mind, which I appreciate, although I have told him their guests park all over, so it really doesn't matter :p.

    They're not very helpful either considering they're all young and able. Many years ago, I lost my first lawncare guy.

    He wasn't showing up or answering his phone and I had to leave so I wasn't sure my grass would be cut, so I asked next door that if Pedro doesn't show, I'll give their boy $20 to cut just my front lawn..didnt care about the back since nobody sees it anyway but didn't want the front looking bad...like there's always does.

    When I came back, I went over and she said her son was busy so her husband just cut mine when he cut theirs...our lots are tiny. He took the money anyway....I paid Pedro at that time $25 and he did the whole landscaping for that...trimming, edging, mowing, blowing and in the back too.

    He could have just said...forget it, it wasn't a big deal but they took my money. I wouldn't have.

    It's probably cut now...this was years ago. I started paying my guy alfonso $20 extra after the rat fiasco to make sure that no trees are touching my roof.

    That's very important it seems. That's how they get on the roof, then those vents on my roof had a tiny hole in the mesh covering it and they got in....


    Oh...and thank you! :)
