and the punk kid next door would be first on the list

Too bad he's only 14 or 15 years old. This kid is a really piece of work. He is a total psycho. He's 14 or 15 years old and he's the neighborhood bully. He has a 6 year old brother - cute as anything and lots of fun to watch. Looks up to big brother (wrong role model to look up to). Kid is hanging out with gangs, into drugs. Mother came home the other day (screaching halt with her car) got out screaming at the top of her lungs for him to pack his bags, he is out of there, he's been lying, to them, and he did something to some girl - don't know what. I say - ship him off to troubled teens or boot camp or anywhere but here. Luckily the parents are seeing through his lies. Other neighborhood kids are no longer playing with him and when his parents go off to work "hooligans" come roaming around. Okay - just had to say that.

punk neighbor kid
Awhile back I wrote that I wish there was a draft and the neighbor's kid would be drafted. Got lots of messages telling me bout the terrors of other neighborhood kids. Just thought I'd update you on this. This kid is 14 years old (is about as big as a full grown overweight adult) and his attitude is getting worse and worse. Seems like his parents don't know how to control him and they don't. He calls his little brother the "B" word (usually what we refer to other women as), he's constantly saying "homee and home boy", uses the "f" word in about every sentence that comes out of his mouth. The other day was about the final point for me. He was using hedge trimmers to do whatever he was doing. Well the thing wasn't working to his liking and he used about every swear word imaginable in a single sentence. The lady two houses across from me in the back yard yelled out to him - "Hey watch your language". She was coughing and sounded sick and I'm sure she didn't like what he was saying. His reply to her was "Shut the "f" up or I'll come over and kill you". I don't think she heard it as he did not say it loud enough but DH and I heard it. All I could think of was where are his parents. They were there about 5 minutes before that. He also has a couple freinds of another color and when they are in the back yard with him he feels the need to do a whole "routine" like what you see in the movies. Well yesterday we happened to catch a movie on TV (by accident - it was on and we couldn't find the remote to change the channel) but it was called Alpha Dog and our mouths about dropped. Not sure if any of you have seen it but it is exactly the way the kid next door acts and talks. They call each other the "B" word (still didn't realize they call guys that), and the expletives in that movie were even more than I can take (and I can sure use the words at times - bad language does not bother me, it's the people who use it and in what reference they use it). I told my DH I have a good mind to go talk to his mother but that wouldn't do any good, and if I did I wouldn't put it past him to torch our house or rob us when we were away. His parents talk to him like nothing I've heard of before (except the low lifes across the street that freely use the "f" word talking to their kids). But the kids parent's have called him a name (I won't use it if by some chance she happens to frequent this board - I have no idea what she does but you never know). But when he asked why she called him that she stated "because you don't have a brain". They are constantly yelling at him. The other day he told his parents he wanted his room to remain completely dark and they said to him "like your heart". Kind of creeped me out. Anyway...we have been planning to move for quite some time, but this was the breaking point to speed up our search. I believe he's probably just a bully and says things he doesn't mean when he knows that other people can't hear him, but anyone voicing they will kill someone is enough for me to "head to the hills" and to really search out what kind of neighbors in different area. We also get a lot of kids playing the base on their car radios so loud the stuff inside our house vibrates. Told my DH today where can we go live in peace and quiet without having to move to a 55+ park. I'm sure every place has kids who are a terror, but I really feel like this is where I don't want to be. I wrote before I wished they'd have a draft but I realized today what he needs is to be in a military school with a uniform and drill sergeants keeping an eye on him 24 hours a day teaching him respect. Being in the Army and going through basic training myself really taught me respect for others and how to be an adult. Anyway...just wanted to vent.
Door to door sock salesman
Okay, so yesterday a little old man shows up at my door. Now let me say that I do not live in a neighborhood, really. I live on a major highway so you actually have to drive into my driveway and you can't really get to the next house without getting back in your car and driving there.
So I open the door and there's this little old man there with pairs of socks in large ziplock bags. He says:
"I'm raising money for a cancer operation to get cancer out of my stomach and I want you to buy these two bags of socks."
I say, "I'm sorry, I don't have any cash in the house, but good luck."
"How can you not have any cash in the house?"
"We use credit cards."
"You can't just use credit cards. Doesn't your husband live with you?"
"He's at work. Good luck, have a nice day."
"Well when he gets home he should have cash on him."
"Nope sorry, we're not interested. Have a good day."
I closed the door and he left.
Odd....very odd. But here's where it gets even more odd.
Today he showed up AGAIN. Only this time he didn't come to the door. He sat in his car in my driveway and beeped his horn. My mail lady does this when we have a package so I opened the door to go out, thinking it was her. The dog scooted out and while I was trying to get him back in I realized it was this man again......BEEPING for me to come to his car to sell the socks, I guess. I was so mad that my dog got loose I looked at him and yelled "WHAT DO YOU WANT??? I don't need any socks today!!!" Picked up the dog and went back in the house and slammed the door. He didn't get a word in edgewise. I'm hoping he won't be back.....I was down right RUDE to this man. I never speak to anyone that way. Hopefully he won't be back. Steve is concerned that he showed up a second time and even more concerned that he wanted me to go to his car this time. He wants me to get a plate number if this man comes back.
Anyone can screech that song. What a punk. Out, out, out Sanjaya!

One year really punk rock station starting playing Barry SM
Manilow, Sammy Davis Jr., The Carpenters and goodness knows who else. I never listened to that station, except for that day, only to hear stoners waking up at 2 pm and calling the station asking what was going on.
please do not let the door hit you on your bum
Right next door,
Henry, close to Eagles Landing - we can visit....
Just don't answer the door.
Just don't answer the door.
Door jams
They make little squared off cat scratchers to go over the door jams, this might save your husband some work, love my cats, have 3 couldn't live without them.
Just now getting up to lock the door?
My husband can be home- doesn' matter- I always keep my doors locked. I see people on TV news who are broken in on, murdered, assulted, raped - they said where they lived didn't think it would happen there?? Happens everywhere.
Actually, my side is to the door. sm
Can't put the desk anywhere else but in this corner.
You either need a door with a lock or - sm
to set up some kind of boobie trap that scares them first (I.e. something popping out at them when they enter the room). A taste of their own medicine would do them good
How about locking the door? Better yet...
ask them to call you first. If you can't ask them, have your husband ask them. It's YOUR home, isn't it?
I wish I lived right next door to
help you with your project. That's my kind of fun. :oD I wuv a good rottie. Can't imagine playing with 3 of them.
Message on Door
 I am a word nut. Transcriptionist in me I guess. But the Family Dollar Store at the corner of my street has a hand written sign posted on their door saying "We No Longer Except Credit Cards". I get a chuckle every time I go in there. Should I tell them or not?????
door even if no answer there, either.

there was a knock at the door, our then 3 yr old
comes running into the kitchen, 'mommie, mommie, tony the creature is here!!"
(our preacher had come by for a visit)
She needs a doc with a sign over his door that sez -
..
If you have no choice to open up the door - sm
just say that now is not a good time for a visit and to call before coming next time (because you work from home and cannot just drop everything when someone pops by)(add that on if you chose to). They may not like hearing any of it but tough cookies. If you are out of sight, just don't answer the door, if it happens often enough maybe they will think to call first next time and you can again say no, or to nip the visits in the bud say you are quiting that church and to please stop calling you. I am in the boonies and get the occasional church groupie visits of various faiths, I just tell them "not interested" and they go on their merry way without a fight for the most part. Good luck.
Most of the people I've met at my door
to a church and have our own beliefs. I wouldn't appreciate it if someone went on and on after I've told them that. Would probably shut the door, just as I would hang up the phone with a pushy telephone solicitor.
Dr. Phil would say to lock the door.
If they knock, you ask if their hair is on fire. If it's not, then you tell them it can wait.
He's actually talking about interruptions of something else, but I thought of his advice anyway.
You are such a crackup! I wish you lived next-door..... nm

On the door of our in-house MT DEPTARTMENT - sm
the sign read, MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST'S. (Obviously it was ordered by one of those people who believes an apostrophe belongs in front of every word ending in S)! Finally someone in the MT Dept. couldn't stand it any longer, and painted over the apostrophe with Liquid Paper.
Famous person at the door
Julian McMahon from N/T or Adam Levine from Maroon 5. Either way I'd probably faint dead away. LOL.
I have an all white cat who has a cat door and is free...sm
to go in and out at will. We live in the country and he loves to hunt all night and sleep all day. One morning last spring he came in while I was working after a night roaming and had a chunk of hair and some flesh taken out of the eyebrow area just above one eye. I am thinking either a hawk or an owl thought he could carry Zeek away (He weighs about 18-20 pounds) and he was too heavy.
There are 2 body styles. The 4-door (sm)
style like mine is easier to find, but my sister got the 3-door one, which looks even more modern and flashy and tiny. Super cute.
It rates extremely well by Consumer Reports - top in its category for reliability. This car has been around a while in Europe, but only arrived here about 1 year ago.
On the down side, my very tall hubby does bump his head sometimes when trying to get in, but he sits unusually tall for somebody 6 foot 3 inches. I wouldn't say it has as much leg room as he'd prefer, but it is very drivable even for him.
3 in the kitchen near the back door, and
I've seen videos where some people cut a side-entry hole in a big storage bin like you get at Walmart, and fill it with litter. (Can be covered, or not, though many cats don't like covered boxes because it intensifies the odor for them.) The high walls, with the only low spot being the entry, keep most of the litter in if they're real diggers & flingers!
i hate it when i hold the door for someone and they
snotty, like i owed them that courtesy. i've even said "you're welcome" to people. once, a woman said, "I didn't ask you to hold the door for me, fat ass." nice.
Agree. IMO, the people who took the door sm
off the hinges should be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Hope the security cameras got a good shot of those SOBs. I read that other workers tried to help the poor trampled man and they also got hurt.
Think of how much business these stores would get if they offered such bargains for a longer period.
Greed is an evil thing.
I dont' answer the door either.
but I knew it was the neighbor and they are nice people so I would have. besides they snow plow our driveway and I'm certain they were here to ask if I wanted our driveway done. Otherwise I hide when someone comes to the door. Can't be too safe these days. I don't answer my phone when I am working either. If people knew I did I would get calls nonstop all day long and get nothing done.
I double lock the door and have a
security latch as there's been a lot of break-ins at gun point lately. We live in an apt and since I work overnight I've actually had people that thought my door was their door and tried to unlock it...drunk ones, of course.
I've thought about leaving my keys in the car and the windowns down (1999 car with 137,000 miles on it)....JOKING.
Dear Next Door Neighbor
I wish you would keep your animals in your own yard, and BYW, those are the rules of our community. Your animals have killed a bird in my yard and I was told by the association to a) shoot them with a B-B gun or b) call animal control on them.
So, it's not so much the church as it is the unannounced knock on the door.

The court system is a rotational door
There was enough evidence. Even the mother who got the children back had her own father testifying she did drugs, lousy mother, on and on. I am so glad I don’t have to put up with that crap anymore. This is where the welfare $$$ went, to a person who did not have enough get up and go to see the kids off to school in the morning. What a waste but lawdy, lawdy, make sure these mothers get those kids back. Glad I am not involved in the court system anymore.
Held the door for a gal at the mall some weeks ago and
she just proceeded to walk through it and past me without a thank you. I muttered QUIETLY under my breath . . your're welcome.
We walked out into the parking lot and she turned around and said so nicely .
I am so sorry. That was rude of me. I should have thanked you. I immediately said, oh, that's okay. . no problem. She said again, No, I really am sorry. I don't blame you for being offended.
Wow! be careful what ya say!
Why is it when we WANT to be heard we aren't? lol
LOL, can't even tell you how many times I left keys in door (on the outside)
and then spent forever trying to find them inside the house before realizing that, oops I did it again! Arrrrggghh! My husband has found them quite a few times coming in, also! :)
lock the door, take a while to answer it, seem preoccupied

If a famous person were to just show up at your door sm
who would you want it to be?
Can you close the door on your relationship and not look back? sm
Of course, you will need to be in touch for the sake of the children, but you as a person need to be able to look back and have no *what ifs* to ponder about. You need to know in your head you have turned over every stone and mustered every bit of strength in your possession and tried everything you possibly could before you end this. Otherwise, it will forever sit like a huge weight on your back and make it hard on in life. You also need to be able to speak about your husband in an objective manner for the sake of the children. I agree with the other poster who suggested counseling for the children. Please consider that no matter what else you decide for yourself. Oh, how I do wish my parents had done the same for me as a child. Their relationship has left me with wounds so easily reinjured and made some things in life very tough for me. Best wishes to you.
We were next door neighbors at an apartment complex.

Next door neighbor's teen having parties
I am sooo sick of the next door neighbors. It is a mom and 2 teenage daughters. They have been having a party going on 5 days now. Tons of cars over partially blocking our driveway, loud talking and laughter, underage drinking, throwing their litter (beer cans) onto our side of the yard...etc. I just want to sit out on my porch and not have a gang of teens a few feet away. What kind of mom lets this kind of thing go on and these kids (boys and girls) have spent the night every night. I am sick of it. I thought it would end with today being Monday and the holiday weekend being over. But they continue to hang out over there. I just want peace and quiet like it is usually here. What would you guys do? I would love to call the cops on them but have never done anything like that before. I just feel like this is ridiculous especially since we live in apartment homes and not houses so our duplexes are very close together. 
Tree frogs and lizards on door
I know this probably sounds silly, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any way to discourage green tree frogs and lizards from hanging out on and sticking to the front door of my house? I never know if any or how many might be there when I open the door and sometimes they do get in the house and have even fallen on my head when walking through the door. I've tried bug spray on the door and jamb to no avail. They creep me out. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Dear Next Door Burn other neighbors down also
You should not have a fire blazing out of control- we have woods right behind us that basically connect. Oh, I was the one who called the fire department on your blaze. Against the rules here in the community and the city as far as that is concerned. Talk about loonies- maybe that is why I do not talk with you.
Worse yet - no door OR toilet seat ! - sm
I was warned about no toilet paper on a trip I took out of the country a few years ago. I was even told there would be older ladies sitting at a table in front of the bathroom who would give you 3 squares of paper for a tip prior to entering the bathroom. I was not warned about lack of seats and sometimes lack of doors to the stalls and no lock on the bathroom exiting door! I even stayed in what was their version of a 4 star hotel and on check-in had to ask for a roll of tissue (which was billed extra!). That was quite an experience!
Lock the door and pretend you're not
Supposed to be bad feng shui to have your back to the door. Maybe

Is it okay for your in-laws to come to your house and open your door without first knocking?
My in-laws did this the other day and I just find it very rude...They do this all the time...we tell them to please call before they come over (just in case the baby is sleeping or we are doing something) but they never listen...anyone else have this problem???
I would rather have my door open on a nice day, then live in fear...
That is not a way to live your life...and that is not living in la-la land...
None on this list but have a list of my own!!
Hanna, Tigger, Sophie, Ethyl, Wally, Pipin, Morris, Tito and Moshee.
