I know my neighbors. 

I mow the 2 lawns next to me. 

Neighbors on right side of us at getting close to 85 and he has been up at the rehabilitation place for the last 8 months.  (Not sure he will ever get back home.) his wife goes up and sees him every day. 

Been our neighbor since we moved in back in early 80s. 

Left side of us are young couple 3 kids - boy 4, twin girls 1 and a half. 

Across the street on each corner one couple moved in mid 80s other couple 12 years ago. 

Lot of new young couples with kids under 8 have moved in last 3-4 years. Probably 8 house in our neighborhood (48 houses) 

lot of good neighbors 

 

 

I can’t wait to move in with Gugny next year so he can feed me and change my diaper. 

+1,0000 how a society should be set up!

 

@Gugny will contract out that diaper changing... Hope you like Jesus!

 

Now... Especially, stay put for 30 years.  All this flipping shiest is what causes problems... Skyrocketing housing costs...

 

"...And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys
The percentage you're paying is too high a price
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car 
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead 
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was 
The low spark of high-heeled boys..."

I had a hot mid-upper 20 something yr old neighbor where I used to live a few years ago. And of course her bathroom window was facing my bedroom window. Her bathroom windows blinds were always up and bathroom window curtain always open. Maybe she was giving me one of the "porn scenario" signs to come on over. ?

There are about 75 houses in our neighborhood, but only ONE with a kid. A bunch of old farts, about half retired....so I fit right in. (We are actually about 10-15 years younger than average, I’d say.) Once or twice a year they will throw a bash open to everybody at someone’s house. The lady next door is from Buffalo and helped us out A LOT early as we bought the house a year before moving here full time 9 years ago. Furniture deliveries, workers, etc. 

 

There are maybe a half dozen families we’ll do things with....maybe an occasional dinner or go to an event, but it’s far too rare. In fact, we are going to look at a house in another neighborhood at 4:30. Half to decide if we keep pumping money into this house, or just put it into a house where it’s already done. We are the real live love it or list it couple.

I think I’ve seen that one.

Always try to be but have had our share of losers over the years.  Right now, one side is a youngish couple with 2 pre-schoolers, and they are very nice.  the other side is a nutcase and has at least 15 cats.  We love cats, just not his!  Hope he'll move but we've been here 15 years and he was here when we bought.  His wife left him a few years ago because he was abusive, so now it's just him and the cats.  The inside must smell delightful!

She's probably on a message board somewhere telling everyone how her neighbor always had hand lotion and a box of tissues on his bedroom windowsill.

Anyone with more than 2 cats cant be trusted.  I'm surprised Marv decided to go that direction.

I an friends with my neighbor on my right...very sweet Zimbabwen family. Now, my last house (my first as a mid thirties single dad) yeah, I had three single mother  "friends" within a stone's throw. They all liked to compare notes, no *****.

 

Edit: Actually one was married. I still feel ***** about that one.

I've spent a lot of money on white vinyl fencing..6 feet.

My bride talks to the neighbors because she walks the dog and loves to bull#### with people.

I smile and wave to them..when they start to gab and ask stupid questions..I simply tell them I'm busy with something.

A few years ago..the woman across the street would actually come over into my garage if she saw me out...

I shut that down..luckily split.

It's OK to use the "Buffalo brush off" with neighbors, when applicable.

The BEST thing about my neighborhood is since Gladys Kravitz next door (and her BFF down the street) moved out no one knows anyone anymore!

I know the names of two of my neighbors, and couldn't pick the rest of 'em out of a police lineup.  However, due to good ole Gladys, I do know what my neighbor's medical practices specializes in... having a heart attack or a stroke? My street (assuming anyone is home) is a better place to have it than a hospital!

Friendly, yes. Friends, no. We know most of the neighbors and there were attempts to socialize years ago, but it just never clicked for us.

 

My wife is pretty friendly with a mother across the street. They go walking together and text regularly - our kids are the same age but they have girls and we have boys.

 

I do the wave and exchange pleasantries but that's about it.

Do you see the difference?

If you lived next to me here in B-low..we would see each other out front on a Monday morning..getting the,paper, mail,garbage cans etc

You want whiskey or coffee..both?

We talk about the game/s....and then we eat sandwiches together..you leave by 1 after getting into my home around noon.

Within ONE HOUR..

Belly is full

We talked football..maybe some politics

Then you go back home to sit alone

 

We could have spent 3 hours talking about the game and most likely described it better than the national/local media did.
