These are the people in my neighbourhood

[Blackbird]

I'm suprised at what a lot of people are classifying as 'weird' and 'crazy' when it comes to nieghbors. A lot of them sound misunderstood or pretty normal to me.

I have been ROFL...reading this thread, brilliant!

My closest neighbours are a couple of fields away, so I don't get to see anyone very often ..... there you go.

Yeah, I'm a freedom loving Patriot at heart, with a cannon on the deck, and my "Betsy Ross" blowing in the breeze. one, no, two nieghbors that feel the same, and are 300 yards away. deep country uphere. Silk shorties? Heck I'm buck naked from the deck to the coop, or the hot tub.

(still trying to figure out the icons though)

I'm thrilled to be able to say, at this point in life, that I have NO neighbors! I've lived in apartments and subdivisions, and I can't stand them, not just because one bad neighbor can basically ruin your life, but because I love privacy. I want to be able to walk out my front door without being watched and never worry about my dogs who bark, as dogs will do, bothering anyone. I'm glad they let me know if someone has arrived here.

less seee..
Across from us a young couple , just build a house.. supernice and allmost never there.

Inlaws..down the road. Enough said
thats it.. other people are to far away to be considered neighbors.

When we where stationed in Alabama .We had to rent an apartment before we got our housing on post. Every morning a very old crazy black lady would sing the national anthem in her robe on the sidwalk in front of our window. Her name was Miss Iffy. She was a hoot and very nasty most of the times but we would talk to her and sometimes she had a lucid moment and was actually nice.
Thats about the only time we had crazy neighbors.

I wish I could have the same situation as yours. Not that I don't have nice neighbors, I do. But I like that privacy too. I constantly have that feeling of being watched or something....but maybe that's just me.

We are by far the weirdest neighbors around here! We have like 55 chickens, and they are NEVER in the pen, actually the pen is not even up right now. They wander all over the yard and the alfalfa fields.

We dont have a dryer, so I have two to three loads of laundry hanging on the line every day.

I have a big garden, which looks nice, but you cant see it because all the weeds have grown up around it. And I have lime green five gallon buckets around all of my tomato plants, to protect them from the wind.

And we do tend to be what one of you all called 'gun nuts'...and though we dont shoot pidgeons we shoot starlings. Our kids have been known to zip out side stark nekkid early in the morning, fresh out of bed and before momma can catch them with some clothes.

On the other hand, our closest neighbors are 1/4 mile away, and there are four of us total on the whole mile road. So most of this goes unnoticed.

I hope.

I bought my home 10 years ago in an old neighborhood. All the other home owners, have been here since the places where built in the 1970's. So none of them have any little children. We moved in with 6. Also we put up a cloths line right away. Then came the chickens, ducks, my great dane, and now 2 goats. I also do a huge garden to live off from for the year. Well most of the neighbors are fine and very nice. I have 2 neighbors that beat to there own drum. One is a widower, and she is very strange. When ever we see her she reminds us to never tell anyone about her or her home. She feels that the government doesn't need to know her business. But other wise she is nice and will always speak to you. The other neighbor is now a millionaire. He seems to think that he is the boss of the area. For 10 years know I have him complaining to me about my clothesline all the time, my children (which have never been in his lawn or in the street), my animals (noise), my husbands light on car (when going to fire calls). This neighbor also complains about how we take care of the lawn. He feels that we need to do more raking. (He pays a lawn company to do his). The other neighbors listen to him but never speak up. They tell me it is now great living here now since I moved in because I don't bow to his feet. I tell him how it is. He thinks I am crazy, he has offered to buy me a dryer. Thanked him and told him that I would never use don't waste your money. When he complains about the raking, I tell help yourself all the rakes are in the shed. When he complains about the children, I remind him when his older, they will be running this country. So I would be nice to them. When he complains about the animals, I simply tell him that maybe he should look into moving because I am not and it is easier for him to move than for me to move all my animals and family.
