Put down that cookie and Drive

On this blog, you'll read plenty of rants. If YOU have a rant, just post the reply here. A few days ago I was driving to 7-Eleven. the parking lot was full ( as usual ), and I waited for an SUV to pull out of a space. The woman backed up slowly, then very, very slowly pulled off. I wondered why she was moving so slow, and I saw what was in her hand. a COOKIE. put your food down and drive! ---Today is Tuesday, horrible neighbor day. My neighbor hasn't been as annoying lately. He's still jobless, which is not my concern, but did you ever notice all the white trash families invite relatives who come to live with them in their tiny 2 bedroom/attic homes with only 1 bathroom and never leave? They must be like sardines in that house. The house is really small, one small LR no formal dining room, small kitchen w/ small space for a table. 2 bedrooms and 1 attic. 1 bathroom for all 6 ppl. no basement, just a cellar with a dirt floor. Those relatives have been their since October of 05. They have sold their home, and as Billy Bob puts it " are waiting to buy a double-wide". How many ppl can you fit into a small home? I'll say one thing--the house is clean as my crazy neighbor has told me ( the naked 59 yr old across the street) he's a crazy exhibitionist who doesn't have blinds or curtains for his bedroom. Imagine the grocery bills! I think the relatives must be chipping in, because Billy Bob hasn't worked in 4 months. he's waiting for the perfect job for a man-with-no liscense-no car-alcoholic and a know-it-all. He's not even a good painter. It took him about 6 weeks to paint my neighbors average size home. He only did the front/sides/trim. and he had HELP. Not everyone can paint. I asked one of the painters who works for us how long it should take. He said about 2 weeks. With bad weather, approx 3. but no more. Sad thing is--at the beginning my neighbor was paying him by the hour, until he found out some sunny days Billy Bob wasn't even showing up for work. I am in and out most days, and on perfectly nice days, Billy Bob would show up at 10, and be gone by 2. No wonder he hasn't found a job yet. Have a great week!
