There are certain colors for the homes here and that would be totally out. I love my neighborhood!

Move into an association neighborhood and
you don’t have that problem. The places are not rented out here.
I would certainly get association such
as Department of Family and Children involved, even with a parent as I did with my father. He was 90, being ripped off by a younger than me married woman and having accidents 1 after another. If she will not listen to you, the department will step in and take over full care of her. She seems to be becoming demented with these actions. My father finally was killed in an accident but thank God he did not kill anyone else. Such a danger to him and others. I would certainly take care of ASAP.
My homeowners association does not allow
along with vegetable gardens, your animals roaming around loose, parking on the streets, loud playing of music, so on and so on and I love this place.
I like it too. If there is no home association
then they can do whatever they want with it.
you're into guilt by association? s/m
As I know it, they broke up months ago..........so I have read...and anyway - you sound like my 87 year old mother!!! 
I hear nothing from the association, just love it here
If you have never lived in an association, or maybe you have, don’t know what type of rules you thought or know your particular place has but I just enjoy it here - so much nicer than where I used to live right in the city of over 3 million people. Oh, just for your information, the homes here are different, some are stucco, some brick front, some 3 stories, some ranch so except for using outlandish colors on the home and cutting down on trashy things like all night parties, loud obvious people, no soliciting in our neighborhood, I would move here again in a heart beat.
Got note from association about mowing our grass
but thank goodness hubby had mowed just a few days ago. The association goes through the neighborhood ever so often and checks the yards. He has a riding lawnmower and a gas run mower; however I am unable to mow the front yard because cannot pull the rope on the mower. I fully intend to get me a push button starter mower so I can at least mow the front so presentable at all times.
my neighborhood is looking better sm
and better even with the renters! LOL My worst nightmare is that I would be next to someone like HER. I will take my neighborhood and my husky dog (who digs holes in the fenced in back yard) my lovely warm house, family and all of it over her snooty neighborhood any day of the week! There is a whole lot to say for warmth and love in a HOME over the perfectly manicured lawn in the iron fist ruled neighborhood!
Sounds like you would make a great neighbor!!!!!!!!
are there bears in your neighborhood? they are not shy

That sounds like my neighborhood
Don't you just love it? I hear a lot about awful neighbors and neighbors being unfriendly, and I can't even imagine. I used to just walk into my friend's house and vice versa. They're definitely like family. Unfortunately, they moved about 10 miles away, but we see each other every weekend for get togethers. In the summers we have no less than 20 kids running around pool jumping from house to house and general fun.
In my neighborhood which is a reallly nice one, I
would not even open the door to someone dressed as a police. In fact living in Atlanta before had a person dressed as police to come to my home (after 2000) and asked to use my phone. I had storm doors on and had double dead bolt doors and I told him give me the # and I would be glad to call for him and give message. Here, 2 ladies came to my door about 2 weeks ago, cold and wanted to know if they could come in. I shook my head no. I could see them thru a window pane on my door. I do not, ever, open the door to anyone unless they are known to me. Very dangerous wherever you live and telling them your husband isn't home, OMG. Do you not have a phone to hello, call the police if he were to show up again?
Had our neighborhood yard sale on Sat.
and while one Mom had her back turned her daughter sold a $118 Lee Middleton doll for $2. Guess the person knew what a find they had becuase they high-tailed it out of the neighborhood. What a rotten person!
Find a kid in your neighborhood to show you! :) nm

I think she said in her post that it was a teenager in her neighborhood.
My daughter would do it for that amount just for spending money. I wish I could have someone come in just once a month to do major cleaning. My daughter and I with the help of my husband do cleaning every Saturday with of course spot cleaning during the week, but just once a month would be great to do the things I hate doing.
We usually go to house parties in our neighborhood. - NM

A gentleman that used to live in our neighborhood
had this happen at about the age or 65. I still don't know much of the details but his started with a terrible headache and he ended up being rushed to a major medical center and was kept there for about 45 days. This was 2 years ago. He is doing great now. Still see him out mowing, shoveling snow, walking his dog, etc. Hope all goes well with your friend.
said "used" to live in neighborhood, duh, still does. nm

Don't listen to the neighborhood cats! (sm)
People like that will always have something to say no matter what you do. Some people just look better with longer hair. I love short hairdos but they don't look good on me. I am 40 & my hair is right at shoulder length - it has never looked good on me shorter and I have thought about the fact that as I get older I probably will still want to keep it longer. I will always wear my hair however I want - you should too. Perhaps at your neighbors' ages they should grow up and not worry about something as silly as someone else's hair length!
Would you be annoyed if a home like this was in your neighborhood?
SEQUIM, Wash. -- It's mostly lavender, with fuchsia trim.
It's safe to say the neighbors don't like this garage/apartment in Sequim.
"It has become the focus of the community," said Brian Juel, who's view now includes the purple building. "Instead of looking at this view we're looking at this house."
But instead of letting it be, they're taking their dislike to a whole new level. Blame the bad economy or the poor housing market -- two dozen neighbors claim all the purple is driving down the value of their homes.
They've signed a petition asking the Clallam County assessor to give them a break on their property taxes because of the boldly colored home nearby.
Andrea Taylor lives next door and every day she opens her curtains and there it is.
"It's taken away from the whole character of the neighborhood," she said of the home. "When we look out and see the pristine, calm quiet and your eyes are just drawn to this purple blob."
Juel said he hasn't had much luck talking with the owners of the purple home.
"Basically it's a one-way discussion -- they haven't returned my e-mails," he said. "We've talked about individual rights but, you know, the rights of the community are kind of trespassed here, also."
Neighbors say the owners live in California and decided to style the exterior after victorian row houses in San Francisco. The owners also plan to build a new victorian home next door in a few years.
No one has moved in and the owners could not be reached for comment.
No covenants exist in this community to force the owners to change their decor. And, after all, beauty is in the eye of - in this case - the owner.
Getting the county assessor to reassess the land in the area could be very difficult to do. Even if the assessor agrees to evaluate the properties, it may not happen until 2010.
My sis says buy the smallest house in a good neighborhood. n/m

Our neighborhood sets a date each year for
a yardsale. The neighborhood is still growing, so we usually have a really great turn out. We haven't participated in a couple of years so believe me we have the "junk" to get rid of. I just wish we would do this at the beginning of summer for a little extra spending $ for vacation.
The people in the next neighborhood over have pot bellied pigs
They have three of them. They're too cute. I'm sure they eat a lot, but from what I know they're supposed to be good pets. My brother-in-law was actually going to get one once. I can't remember why he changed his mind.
I wish you lived in my neighborhood! I would invite you in for some coffee and a chat!
I've lived in my neighborhood for 22 years, and only four neighbors out of 20 or so even look up and say hello. It's sad. Everyone is so busy, and a few are self-absorbed. I've tried for years, invited people over, simply waved and smiled. Hardly ever an acknowledgement. If you lived in my neighborhood, I'm sure we'd be friends!
Sparklers on the 4th of July and also Tin-Can-Alley with all the neighborhood kids.
