Tuesday is horrible neighbor day!

I'm going to bring this back in hope's of getting more horrible neighbor stories. The stories some have sent me are worse than my horrible neighbor stories. I'd like to tell you a little about a horrible alcoholic red-neck renter that lived in my neighborhood for 3 years. I'll break it up into sections, and post some each Tuesday. My husband thought this guy was alright. I know him as a horrible father, terrible provider, alcoholic loser. We live in a pretty quiet neighborhood in Annapolis , Md. It's a big mix of split foyers, Victorians, large 4 bedroom homes, and a few developments with even larger homes. In our little section, we have a lot of different homes. My redneck alcoholic neighbor, I'll call him Billy Bob, lived in a duplex, very old, and he was a renter. Not that there is anything wrong with renters------From the first week he and his old wife, and two teenagers moved in, we knew they were undesireables. The teenagers yelled at my son. They camped out on their front porch, and they lived across our street and down two doors, so they could see us come and go out of our driveway. Each time we'd leave, they would scream at my son. Now my son found this funny. By the time they left 3 years later, they had not paid their last month's rent ( security deposit was kept), one child moved in with an older 1/2 brother, the other child with another older 1/2 brother. His wife had left him. He was drinking non-stop, and had actually come by my driveway--walked up into my driveway-drunk-telling my husband and I how he made a mistake. This man's wife had left him before. We have found out that his family of three was living in a hotel ( Red Roof Inn) at one time. Some local church was paying for them to live there, because Billy Bob had no job, and was an alcoholic. Bad neighbors are hard to get rid of. There are so many of us who live our lives the best we know how, we are considerate to our neighbors. I'm not overly religious, but I thank god Billy Bob is gone. Everyone, check out this site for horrible neighbors. The only advice I can give you is...ladies.don't let your husband befriend the redneck loser alcoholic neighbor, it only makes things worse. We can only do so much, and I did not want my 9 yr old anywhere near this man! Pay attention to the things your horrible neighbor does. If there is anything illegal--CALL. This one family disrupted our peaceful little section of neighborhood and the sad thing is.........we had a family twice as bad living two blocks away, and those poor ppl were terrorized.

What's on YOUR blog?

Here's a comical look at blogs I've bookmarked. I consider myself very connected to the internet, and I love to read blogs. I love reading the neighbor from hell blog because I had a few neighbors from hell. I started to tell one story one day, but it looked like no one cared. Do YOU want to read how my neighbor's wife tried to kill him? Hell, I'd read that. I have lived next door to two neighbors who have gone from sane, to insane. They were both women. No comment on their gender, please.

Here's a look on what everyone else is blogging about. First of all I just saw where Janet Jackson says she might be allergic to marriage. Janet-correction-you're just not very good at it OR you pick the wrong partners. Allergic to marriage? lol...................

o.k. I just realized i'm on the wrong screen name. Well, I came across this blog this morning. Don't you hate when you drive by someone's house and they have tacky Xmas displays? This site is full of them.

Enjoy the laugh and I'll post more later. http://tackychristmasyards.com/

Where are the parents?

There was an article in my paper today about 3 15 yr old boys sending a harassing cell phone message to a girl. First of all, who's paying all these cell phone bills? Parents- a cell phone is a privedge, not a right. I'd take any and all cell phones away from all the boys. I have a little experience raising boys. I have 3. They are ages 23, 17, and 9. As the old saying goes, boys will be boys, but someone has to watch them! I'm not saying put them on a nanny cam, but parents! Shame on you. These days someone doesn't just stalk you the old fashioned way. You get harrassed on your MySpace account, text messages, cell phone messages, and if they are really bright---a call to your hard line and leaving a voice mail. One that parents can hear. I have some advice for the parents of these unruly boys who thought it was cool to prank a poor girl with pillowcases over their heads, and holding a gun. They are 15. Who's gun is that? Well, well, looks like the father needs to put his guns away from the little boys. My 23 yr old will act like a fool at times. Kids will do whatever they can get away with. O.k. so the boys said it was a prank. Take their cell phones away. For a long time. Once some of these bratty children don't have their cell phones, they will realize they can't live without them. We did, but the children of today need them. ! The bottom line is I'm not a perfect parent, I dont pretend to be.....but the day my son starts sending threatening cell phone messages is the day he loses his phone. Have a great day--Happy Valentine's day tomorrow. Have you gotten your special someone a gift?
