Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 We live next store to a farmer. A great neighbour. He tilled our soil and set the lawn seed for free. Would not accept a penny. Nothing in front of us, nothing behind us. Holiday house next to us, but no-one's ever there. Totally with Fridge on this, you can't beat the bucolic life.

And as I've just pointed out, you stop thinking in terms of distance, and how long it takes you to get to places. I could probably be in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary just as quickly as someone who lives on the other side of Aberdeen. there are plenty of Golf courses, but I can't stand the game....

And I bet the surrounding landscape is blissfully free from ugly roadside billboards, you can walk most places you might need to go, and at night you can actually see the stars instead of having the view blotted out by bright city lighting. I used to think that rural life would be dull. Now it's a goal of mine to retire to some quiet little place where everybody stops to chat in the market.

nettiesaur Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 We get along so well they threw me a goodbye party the other night.(I'm moving). Plans for partying in the future are being made. It helps that we're all single and look out for each other. I hope my next group of neighbors are as nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtothesky Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I did, until I blew up my neighbor's car on 4th of July. LOL I spent $11.69 on fireworks (yea, I'm a cheap bastard) and had 1 decent firework to use as a finale. It went straight up in the air 6 feet and made an abrupt turn straight for my neighbor's brand new Tahoe. And yes, I did go over there and admit it was me and told him if he wanted to make a homeowner claim on my insurance, he could. I haven't seen or talked to them since. My other neighbor is awesome. He's an old WWII vet. Sadly, he just found out he has lung cancer. Terrible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture you standing there, slack-jawed in the immediate aftermath, wishing you could redo the last 2 minutes of your life! At least you manned up and took responsibility. Sad about your other neighbor. I'll bet he's had some wonderful stories to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I get along great with my neighbors. My next door neighbors on one side are an older couple, and their daughters are away at college, so they love to play with my kids. They are also die hard White Sox fans, so we talk baseball all of the time. On the other side, is a guy from Poland who takes care of his Mom. She is really old, and you never see her leave the house. He is a really nice guy, and will occasionally bring me Polish beer. There is no better way to get on my good side.

JDL2112 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor...there are 4 total units in my "living space" here. My upstairs neighbors are nice people, and the couple that live below them are nice also...but there's always one in the group... The people that live below me complain about us, and the other 2 in the unit just about EVERY day. It's either I'm stomping on the floor...the couple next to them are too loud and need to close their window when they "Make whoopie" (that's a direct quote). Dogs, cats, squirrels, lawn mower, kids, etc etc...whatever is going on around their place is a "violation of the rules and regulations of the complex" They must have a copy of the lease and rules of the complex completely memorized...they can come up with the most unreal shit I've ever seen...I can't wait until I get Rock Band...they'll love it! Hopefully they'll move soon...the other 2 couples can stay all they want!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
