I used to hear a kid who apparently was sent outside to practice some kind of a horn - either that or he practiced with his window open! Apparently he lost interest because that finally stopped. There is a screecher over in that same general vicinity & what I mean by that is somewhere over my privacy fence, I often hear a woman literally screeching all the time at somebody. When I say screech, think like Howard's mother on The Big Bang Theory if you've ever seen that show. Finally one day I was out in the yard working and jsut got fed up with it so I shouted out "Lady would you PLEASE stop with the screeching already?! Could you possibly remember that you DO have neighbors??" That was enough to catch her attention that time anyway LOL!! ;)Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-18905674280456736592012-05-19T22:54:11.341-05:002012-05-19T22:54:11.341-05:00Oh, how everything you talked about struck a chord...Oh, how everything you talked about struck a chord with me. Our new neighbors let their (apparently) non-working slacker 20-something sons practice drums during the week while they, the parents, are at work! I swear, it's loud enough to make my teeth vibrate! Even though all the houses in our neighborhood are set way back from the street and are on big lots, it still sounds like they're in our garage (my husband kindly informed me the drums are so loud because the slacker sons have them hooked up to amplifiers)...I've quickly learned it takes only one bad neighbor to make life unpleasant for the whole neighborhood. I would go over to talk to the parents about it, but I'm already leery of them. The only time I've ever met them is when they came over to tell us that the carpet installers from Home Deport that were working at our house had "frightened" and "stalked" their preteen daughter - who just happens to be a holy terror in her own right. (It was nonsense, my husband and I were home with the installers the whole time they were here). But they definitely didn't strike me as reasonable people. What ever happened to common sense and civility?HillbillyBehindTheTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462643144419655155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-60784488473066666102012-05-03T21:05:41.755-05:002012-05-03T21:05:41.755-05:00Thanks Laynie!

This has become my sort of hissy fit blog here lately - I don't post much here anymore since the food blog keeps me crazy busy but I guess that's probably a good thing LOL!!Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-28760446694417241072012-04-11T08:34:55.285-05:002012-04-11T08:34:55.285-05:00I found your site while looking for a recipe and I...I found your site while looking for a recipe and I just want to say, "Thank you and I love it!" I'm up here in NJ...actually South Jersey as we call it, 'cause it's a "whole other country" to borrow a phrase from the great empire of Texas, from the folks north of Trenton. We are more rural down here and more conservative in our views, I believe. I have bookmarked your site and will now be a regular reader. Oh, and thanks for the chuckle...what you wrote is so true. Keep on blogging. :-)Layniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016956346920413030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-65857368078768077042012-01-08T20:52:20.734-06:002012-01-08T20:52:20.734-06:00LOL Mary, girl's gotta let off some steam ever...LOL Mary, girl's gotta let off some steam every once in awhile I suppose but these people who live around me give me lots of "grouchy old fart" material I swear! Corner properties are the worse. My neighbor directly across from me is on one & I watch these kids cutting across her lawn all the time even though she's got a little homemade fence around her yard! Knuckleheads I tell you!! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Hey Bunny (another Mary!) These people are making me rabid I swear LOL!! If I survive this it'll be a miracle. So happy to see you again.

KIds having kids, out all hours of the night pushing baby buggys.

Youngsters feel they can come and go across the property and often DO when I'm not home. I can tell by the bread-crumb-type trail of candy wrappers. Loud with voice and music, they're exemplary models of what happens when the gene pool is small and mDNA becomes concentrated. Bless your heart! It's a wonder you manage to post such an awesome food blog. Hugs and understanding from Leakesville (and Mayree's Deep South Cakery)!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448138935221451646noreply@blogger.com
