garden police gone wild?
That is not what we are talking about.
We am talking about neighbors making an effort to help out their elderly and disabled neighbors who are unable to cut their grass and weeding their flower beds by volunteering to help them by doing it for them. That would be for the benefit of all and go a long way toward creating harmony rather than silly feuds over nothing. People really need to make an effort toward not being so selfish all the time and working together. Your own neighborhood is a good place to start, don't you think so? The law will eventually catch up with your gun happy sicko neighbor. The kind of help he needs is the work of professionals, if you know what I mean. He is an aberration not the norm. animaux wrote in message ...

Of course I warned the idiots who let the cat out that this would happen and it did. When the cat owners approached the asshole neighbor he would not tell them where he dumped the poor cat. Then the cat thief pointed his rifle at them and threatened to shoot the man AND his wife. So, the talking isn't always a good idea. |

People really need to make an effort toward not being so selfish all the time and working together. Your own neighborhood is a good place to start, don't you think so? I totally agree. I used to help a disabled neighbor with bush trimming; they were very grateful. I was young & strong then & seeing their happiness was nice. I enjoyed deadheading their flowers & doing some weeding in their perennial bed. They made me cookies, very kind of them. Never thought I'd become disabled myself, but it happened. I'm not that old either. I can't mow a lawn very well anymore, but I can still cook great meals. I'd be happy to trade good home-cooked quality meals for someone to mow my lawn. Minteeleaf, finally managed to get the lawn (3 feet tall) mowed after nearly a month of solid rain. Maybe we should rent a sheep. :-) |

It's going to be below freezing here tonight, I know it is. The forecast is for 37. But the nearest weather station is about 60 miles away, and about 800 feet lower in altitude. Our temperatures generally run about 10 degrees colder than the forecast. All my tomatoes are out, in WalloWaters, but two of them have grown out the top of the WoWs - the two Early Girls. We will have to figure out some way to cover them. The others will be OK. The peppers will need to be covered too. We'll almost need a boat to get to them, the garden is a shallow lake with round islands (raised beds - we're using tires this year). Sigh. Pat |

Ah, yes. Then we are in perfect agreement. I do that for a woman who lost her
husband about three months ago. She doesn't know how to write a check or mow her lawn. No comment!!! We all plan to get her planted with some evergreen shrubs this fall. It is way too late now to start a project like that in Texas. I am all for helping someone who is not as well or young or whatever. I suppose I read the thread with eyes wide shut.

I don't know, nor do I care how much of a ticket it was. Imagine my complete and utter freak out when I went out one morning to water and saw that poor thing hanging there with a bucket of blood under it. This guy is such an asshole I can't drum up enough words to describe him. Now he has this friggin trailer in his driveway. Our deed restrictions prevent anyone for having a trailer in the drive for more than 48 hours. If it isn't gone by August, I'm taking him to civil court. Nobody, not one person in all 31 homes in our subdivision talk to or even look at this idiot. Kids are not allowed to play with his kids. It's a mess. |

Probably to clean it. (It makes more sense to me to hang it from a ceiling joist inside the garage, but maybe he likes to make a public spectacle.) He has little man complex, so that is exactly why he does it. Cause it's not illegal? Best regards, Bob It is illegal here in this town. |

Again, out of 150 homes, about three people insist on violating the rules. I can understand if someone has to have a trailer for a few days because they are in the middle of a project, but the people who violate the rules just have one for the hell of it. I found out this week that our township prohibits the parking of boats, trailers, or commercial vehicles on residential property unless they are inside a building or are fully screened and meet setback requirement (ie, they have to be out of site, one a paved area, and a good distance from the street or any neighboring property.) You might check with your zoning board and see what the rules are in your area. You might only have to call the police, saving you a lot of time and some money to pursue it in court. |

Just to play devil's advocate, why is this any different than the "weed police" everyone was ranting about yesterday? I just can't see calling the cops to hassle someone over a deed restriction. Even if the guy is an asshole. No, *especially* if he's an asshole. It will just escalate, and he won't know when to stop. Someone should have called the cops when he threatened folks with a gun. But that's a criminal matter, not civil. Best regards, Bob |
