Unemployed and half naked!

Today is Thursday--I know--Pervert of the week day--I'll get to the pervert later in the post. Yesterday, my unemployed-redneck-alcoholic neighbor was outside on his front porch with NO shirt on. Eeeeeek! I know-if I don't like it, don't look. too late. I was going to my car to run an errand, and there he was. All 150 lbs of him. He's built like a 12 yr old boy. Why couldn't I live next to a Brad Pitt lookalike? Anyway, if you've got horrible neighbor stories--I've got some too. Pervert of the week is none other than my neighbor across the street, I'll call him " Jim" Jim is 59, single, no children. Jim is the caretaker of a very old house that's been sitting across the street for about 7 years now. We've never seen Jim with a woman, and the only friends we've seen him with are usually other single, older men or some my own age. I heard from our neighbor a few blocks away that he hit on her. YES, propositioned her. She's about 71. Now Jim doesn't seem 59, he's much spry er and wiry. This neighbor is older and frail. She said he told her he's fixing up the house, she should come live with him. He said he needs a " girlfriend". We're keeping our eye on Jim. Something tells me he's missing a few cards from his deck. Have a wonderful day all!

He wants a drink dammit!

It's seems in Chicago, an off duty police officer got violent when a bartender cut him off from alcohol. Damn, those drunks can be nasty. How do you know you have a problem with alcohol? You beat up a female bartender half your size. This guy needs Alcoholic Anonymous & a stint in rehab. It's not funny for the bartender but this guy wins the Ass of the week award.

Today is horrible neighbor day!

Do YOU have a horrible neighbor story? Feel free to unload here. My white trash alcoholic redneck neighbor is out of work and very annoying. Last week, his next door neighbor, I'll call her " Sally" had her roof replaced. Well, Billy Bob was angry because he thought he'd be the one to replace it. ( even though he's not liscensed and isn't a roofer) Billy Bob thinks he can do everything.......painting, plumbing, tree cutting, roofing, you name it. Although his latest job was working with family, painting. During the time the roofers were at Sally's home, Billy Bob was always hanging around, sitting on his porch, muttering and complaining. He would criticize what the roofers were doing, they didn't do this right or that right. Sometimes, Sally said the roofers would hear him. By the time Monday rolled around, the roofers had realized Billy Bob didn't have a job. He actually asked the owner for a job! The next day he even confessed he had been pulled over for 3 DWI's in his past. Talk about career suicide. The poor roofers were so annoyed by him when they came back to do the last finishing touches, that one roofer asked him, " Why aren't YOU at work today?" Poor Billy Bob. He doesnt' have much going for him. At times, I feel sorry for him. But , then i realize how far my neighbors and my family have come over the 12 years we've been here. A lot of the families started small businesses, made improvements, and it's really a nice neighborhood. Billy Bob has led a hard life of drinking and dead end jobs. The neighborhood is diverse, which we like. It's hard to live in a development with all the rules, and things are a little more lax here. There are several different kinds of houses. Billy bob lives in an old duplex. It's a 2 bedroom/attic. He's a renter. Now please, dont' think all renters are this bad. we know plenty who are decent ppl. Long story short, Billy Bob now hangs around watching us go to work, sports, begging for a job, but None of my neighbors will hire him. The roofer's exact words were, " I just can't have someone like that working for me". Good luck to Billy Bob, maybe he'll find West Virginia more appealing.

Those pesky neighbors!

As anyone who reads my blog would know, I have a redneck, out of work ( new topic) neighbor who drives us crazy. I have lived in 5 different places, and usually have at least 1 crazy neighbor. Here's another site to check out.WHY I HATE MY NEIGHBOUR Good reading! If you live in the country or in the city in an apartment building, you have to put up with neighbors. I have several lovely neighbors. BUT-there is one pain in the ass that's been here for 2 years and is now unemployed. He worked with family, and I suppose they are now fed up with him. Did I mention he drinks? Is a busybody? His next door neighbor ( lovely 55 yr old woman, I'll call Sally) Sally is fed up with him. She was outside last week during our warm spell doing yard work. As Sally was trimming her bushes, BillyBob comes out and says, " I have better clippers than that". Poor Sally just shakes her head, and informs him she has 2 pairs, and thank you. If you think you can ignore this kind of neighbor--good luck. He watches ppl come and go during the day, adding his comments. His latest annoying thing to do is to go around asking every neighbor if he can paint their house. We already told him my hubby does the painting, but he's asked 3 times. I suppose his wife ( who works) is getting on him about finding another job. Personally, I hope he's out of here before summer. Do YOU have a horrible neighbor? post a comment. Tomorrow is horrible neighbor day, and I have yet another story about our out of work-redneck renter. Have a great day!

War over COFFEE?

This morning at my local 7-eleven, I felt as if i had to battle for my coffee. Several men ( riding in the same truck) came in before me, and crowded around the coffee machine. As I stepped up, two pots were brewing. Man X and his wife come up, and Man X picks up the brewing coffee, and pours his coffee, then he burned himself while putting it back. KARMA. As I'm waiting for the coffee to finish brewing, I see cream spilt, sugar packets scattered everywhere--some people are just pigs!

I read on AOL's front page Newt Gingrich had an affair. Does anyone care? I'm not so surprised he had an affair but what i want to know is Who would sleep with the old, homely man????????? Put HER picture on the AOL front page. I mean if you are going to sleep with a married man, at least let it be someone who looks like Richard Gere 10 years ago. ! Have a great weekend!Top News- Gingrich Admits Affair During Clinton Probe - AOL News

Don't try this at home

Yet another dumbass tries a " Jackass" stunt. A 20 yr old drunk young man had someone set his genitals on fire. I suppose he'll have a scar to remind him how stupid he was. It's Thursday, and I missed horrible neighbor day. My neighbor BillyBob is now jobless. This wouldn't be a problem for my husband unless Billy Bob didn't come over to our driveway to complain about not having any money. While I am sympathetic to ppl who have money problems, we've had them ourselves--Billy Bob seems too lazy to go out and get a job. He's been jobless since January. He complained to my husband he barely had enough to cover his rent. I will be so glad when BillyBob finds another place to live. My husband said he was hinting around again at possibly working with my husband. Billy Bob is too old, an alcoholic, and is just too slow and wouldn't work well with hubby's company. We've worked hard to rid ourselves of negative ppl, but I suppose they just end up showing up around us. I say to Billy Bob or anyone else finding themselves unemployed--get up, get dressed, and look for a job. Billy Bob was quite comfortable working for his wife's grown son for many years.....now, at age 50 he needs to suck it up and look for a job like the rest of us did. Yesterday, when we had alittle dusting of snow, BillyBob was out sweeping his neighbor's walk. I say he should be out pounding the pavement for a job.

Stop blubbering Howard K.

o.k. time to weigh in on Howard K. Stern. There are rumors that he not only isn't the father of her baby, but that he and Anna Nicole didn't have a romantic relationship. I say he's a big time enabler. I don't know how long I could put up with someone destroying themselves as Anna did. It seems Anna Nicole died of a drug overdose. She probably had a lot of emotional problems. Perhaps she needed to be committed. Did she do drugs while pregnant? I watched her reality show and she seemed out of it most of the time. She had the money to go into rehab. Howard K. should have insisted. And, I'm well aware that you can't make someone go into rehab. What about her daughter? Social services should have stepped in. Rehab or lose custody. In the times she was in public, giving statements, she was clearly not sober. There was something wrong, and it's almost as if everyone chose to ignore it. I hope they do a paternity test soon to find out Dannylynn or however you spell her name 's real father. It's time that the circus is over. To see Howard K blubbering click here........

Out of control Dad........

Is it assult or just a Dad protecting his little son? Well, I want to weigh in on this. As a mother of 3 boys ( trust me, I've seen rough stuff) I've had my share of ups/downs in sports. I watched the video, and although the boy was being pinned, the ref was going to stop it, and you can raise your voice for it to be stopped, but assulting an 11 yr old boy isn't cool. My son is 8, and a very big boy, but 11 is old enough where you are not a small child anymore. Wrestling is tough, so is football, basketball, but we as parents can't just step in and rescue our kids. If we could, I'd be jumping onto the court to push some very large boys who elbow my son, smack my son, etc. while trying to get the orange basketball. ! bottom line--I'm not a lawyer, but I'd advise the boys parents to press charges to teach this Dad to keep his hands to himself. Have a terrific Wednesday. to view the video--click here Angry Wrestling Dad Attacks Kid What do you think about out of control parents?

Horrible neighbor Tuesday!

Today is horrible neighbor Tuesday. If YOU have any horrible neighbor stories--please post. I have had the unfortunate luck of living next to many horrible neighbors. I once had a neighbor, I'll call her "Freida" who went nuts. She was a pre-menopausal woman whose son had grown up. I still had a son in High school, a son in Elementary, and a 2 yr old. She stayed at home, and had back problems, as did her husband. As time went on, we'd notice their two vehicles almost never left the driveway. She got so bad her husband did the grocery shopping, as I ran into him at our local grocery store. His hair turned gray, and when I saw her, I was shocked. She looked frail and skinny. Some of her neighbors--who lived on her street ( my house faced a different street) thought she may be addicted to painkillers for her back. Soon, they moved. Her neighbor across the street asked my husband some time later--"Where is that crazy woman now?" When he asked, " you mean Freida?" the neighbor said, yes. Then proceeded to tell my husband that he would see her hanging around the driveway when her husband was working on his truck. As soon as she'd see him, she hide behind her fence. He also thought she went crazy. This woman was only about 42 at the time. She called animal control a few times on my dog, and called the police on my neighbor across the street. If only the men in white coats had come for her sooner! Have a great evening.

It's Monday! Blah!

well, it's quiet here at the home front. I'm off work today, and have procrastinated and not gotten much done. I've been slacking off with the neighbor comments, but Billy Bob still is not working. He's not bothering anyone, but he's watching! Does anyone else start shoveling snow before the snow stops? he does. But I suppose if you have nothing else to do...why not? He informed my husband yesterday, " A while back you'd been keeping late hours, coming home late." My husband said matter of factly " He's keeping an eye on the house". I told him, " he's nosey, and keeping an eye on you" It's good to have neighbors that keep watch, but this one is a busybody, and I think he's watching our every move. I'm not paranoid about it, but this dude seriously needs a life. Did anyone watch the Oscars last night? I'm glad The Departed won for best film. If you have not seen it--it's a must see! Lots of action.

Am I hip? Do I care?

I was reading a certain blog, and found it interesting. I'm at the younger end of the baby boomer generation. I don't find myself " saddled" with kids. I just know I'm getting older, and although I love my kids dearly, it's the hardest job you'll ever have. The worst part of my generation, is that I see ppl are giving in more to their kids. Kids at age 11 have cell phones. That's ridiculous. My husband and I bought my son ( then 13 ) a cell phone when he was playing babe Ruth baseball, my husband has all hours of work, and I was taking my older son to work, and youngest son to baseball practices/games. Do I feel hip? hell no. Do I care? no. I've never been one to follow the crowd, and am not going to start now. My best advice to anyone is to be yourself, follow your heart. I can't stand those keeping up with the Jones's. I have relatives like that. Her brother in law buys a new SUV, a few months later, they do. Brother in law buys a new house, a year later, they do. Their dogs even looked the same. Be original. Your individuality is all you have. You know your getting older when you are not hip anymore. I leave that to my two oldest sons ( 22 & 16). Let them be hip. My sister, 38, is hip. She never married, and has no children, and pays attention to what's in/not in. I'm too busy working, taking care of kids, making cupcakes, running my kids around to their sporting events to care. The day you STOP worrying about what everyone else thinks is the day you'll get more peace. The kids finally went back to school today, so I have to get some work done. Have a great Tuesday. Today is horrible neighbor day......do YOU have a horrible neighbor story?

Kids! Ice!

My kids have been off school for 3 days now. Help. Son #2 was giving son #1 a wedgie. The highlight of my day so far is explaining to my 8 yr old what a dinkleberry is. My neighbor has been out of work for quite some time, but he's keeping himself quiet indoors. Have a great weekend everyone!

Astronaut needs diaper?

I skimmed over the story of Lisa Nowak's ordeal and realized something. Was she so hell bent to confront her rival that she forgot one thing.... wearing an adult diaper is a good idea, but she didn't think it through. Sitting in a wet diaper for 4 hours isn't good either. She could get diaper rash. ! Personally, it only takes about 15 minutes to stop for gas and grab a bite, she just wasn't thinking rationally. plus- couldn't you just do the yelling over the phone? I want to see a picture of this man that was worth all that. Have a great Thursday--Maybe i'll even find a pervert for pervert of the week...... link to story about the unstable Ms. Nowak Top News- Friend Points Out Astronaut's 'Mental Anguish' - AOL News

Dakota Fanning: weighing in......

o.k. hold on to your boot straps. I'm a mom of 3. My oldest is 22. I can tell you that a child of 12 is not mature enough to know what her " rape scene" will truly mean, or how everyone will perceive it. The adults around her will tell her it's " art". Or, they'll say.....wouldn't it be educational to get the message out there that rape to a 12 yr old is wrong. Don't we already know that? I think it's shocking, absurd, and just plain perverted. As a mother, I'm very concerned. This should never make any movie. I don't care if it's a 3 second scene. It's bad enough they have scenes of rape for adult men/women......but to have a child...even suggest the child has been raped.....is upsetting. Let's have some stalker action, like in " the Hitcher" or kids movies like " Happy Feet". Stop trying to make money off sick and perverted ideas. What is YOUR opinion?

Crazy people are scary!

This will be part II of my horrible neighbor story. Then I'll try and dig up a pervert for you for tomorrow ( Thursday's pervert of the week). As the story goes on........Lynn and Mike were definately having problems. You'd ask Lynn when she was due (her baby) and she'd reply....."soon". Once she had the baby, it was a girl. She swore to her husband Mike that this was not her child. She became mentally unglued. I tried to chat with her on several occasions, only to be ignored. Mike filled me in on what was the beginning of a bizarre incident. It seems Lynn felt Mike was spending too much time at the firehouse, and that he was cheating. He said he wasn't, and I believe him. He had Lynn see a psychiatrist. I don't know if it did any good at that time, but a few weeks later, all hell broke loose. Tune in tomorrow to find out what happens when you don't sleep with one eye open. I watched Oprah last week and she had a show about families with children out of control. How can she even make a comment, she's never been a parent. word of advice. sit there and be quiet Ms. Oprah. Do another show about selling the clothes out of your closet to charity.....selling them to your staff, and how you hate to get rid of any of those beautiful clothes. blah blah. Have a great day!

Who is Tucker Carlson?

To sum it up........a video store clerk wrote a post about Tucker Carlson, who has a show ( who knew?) on MSNBC. I read the post........It's a little disturbing for him to post...."I won't tell you his address." I don't know why that shakes me up.....but.....I do think the post was meant in humor, but if I were Tucker I would have simply called the store, spoke to the manager and politely asked that Mr. Williamson not blog about my video rentals, or the fact that I come in the store. I, for one, do value privacy. He could have blogged something like.......... Tucker Carlson seen in ________ video store. One time , in a chatroom when i first got AOL, one of my horrible in laws posted my real name on the screen. Everyone wants a little privacy. I do think Tucker went overboard saying Williamson was threatening his family though. But, just like in the Trump/O'Donnell feud, you never know when someone will get upset about something. To read the post, click here Freelance Genius: December 2006 It seems his blog received over 6,000 hits because of this incident. Personally, I think his ego has grown a little large by saying he'll sign copies of The Washington Post, which ran a small article about the incident in the Jan 13th edition. I do feel bad he was fired over the incident. A warning would have been sufficient. Good luck to Mr. Williamson, I'm still reading the blog, but your story is amusing.

Don't let your wife take up Archery.........

Here's a little tease as to what horrible neighbor post I'm going to have today. My old neighbor ( the wife, Lynn) was nuts. Plain and simple. They were a nice couple. I believe they were in their early 30's at the time. They had been married about 5 years, and had a 2 yr old daughter. The husband was a computer tech, and also a volunteer fireman. A nice guy. Sometimes, history repeats itself. As in this story. The wife, we'll call her " Lynn" Lynn's mother had some mental health issues of her own. She wasn't wrapped too tight. The husband, we'll call " Mike". Lynn was pregnant again, and sure she was going to have a boy. The story will continue--tune in--She takes up a hobby--ARCHERY.

Who's Popeye?

Hello everyone. Time for my weekend wrap up. My life is usually the same on the weekends......kids, kids, kids friends, basketball, etc. This past weekend I went to 2 games one day, son #2 lost 1, won 1, then yesterday I went to another game where my 8 yr old's team lost by 1 point. Now that we have snow, he's over the loss. It's time to throw what's now ice-balls and there is a huge pile of wet clothes over by the foyer at my back door. So much for that. Tomorrow is horrible neighbor day, and boy do I have a juicy story for you. I had a neighbor who tried to kill her husband. Details coming. I don't usually post much about being a Mom and how cute kids are....but I've been a Mom for 22 1/2 years....so I have some pretty entertaining stories. Over the weekend, my 22 yr old son ( who's totalled 2 cars already) ran his friends pick-up truck into a ditch. On to the younger one: My 8 yr old said something really cute. I made a casserole last night with penne pasta and spinach. He says, " What's spinach"? my husband replied, " Popeye ate his spinach and got stronger" to which my son didn't miss a beat. He asks " Who's Popeye"? Have a great day!

Pervert a day late.

Sorry I missed Pervert day. I know most of my posts are long and can be dull. I will just skip to the chase. The pervert for the week........another week, but who cares--is my neighbor Billy Bob. The story starts out like this. Names have been changed for god knows what. Billy Bob's daughter Lindy Sue had been staring up at my neighbor across the street (Jack's) window. She saw him undressing, and didn't look away. Her little snotty nosed friends ( I have kids, I know the difference) also looked at the window, which had no curtain, no blinds. They were also watching him. Lindy Sue told her father, the alcoholic Billy Bob about it. Guess what he did? a few nights later, he decided to watch himself, to make sure Lindy Sue wasn't making it up. Sure enough, my skinny, unattractive neighbor Jack was undressing in front of the window. What did Billy Bob do next? told my husband a week or so later. I was appalled. Why hadn't anyone gone to Jack to tell him that 16 yr old kids were watching him undress? end of the story is.....Billy Bob lacks sophistication, manners, etiquette. But I dont. I told poor Jack, and he was quite embarrassed. I tried to break it to him the best I could. How do you tell a man that the neighborhood kids are watching him strip for free? Story is over, but that's just the beginning of Billy Bob and his horrible children. I don't know what I'll make Friday. maybe Hot Stud day and try to post pictures again. Have a wonderful weekend.

What would you do for a Wii?

It happens once in a while, but radio stunts or just stunts period go badly. For a gift I could have bought that poor California woman, a woman actually died trying to win her children a Wii ( nintendo game console). I'm saddened and shocked because this woman had no idea she could die from participating in a stunt such as this. I hope the DJ's are held partially responsible for this. And I also say.....shame on the radio station. What do YOU think? Today is Thursday, pervert of the week day. I know that very few will read my blog, but I'm going to try to find a pervert for every Thursday. I'm sorry it can't be me, but I'm going to name my hillbilly neighbor Billy Bob pervert of the week, even though his perverseness happened some time ago. I'll post later.
