Freakin out - next door neighbor arrested for child

Posted By: sick to my stomach on 2005-12-14
In Reply to:

molestation on a little boy and is out on $500 bail.  What is this world coming to?  I'm just sick over this.  I have a 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.  This guy has been giving me the creeps since we moved in 3 years ago.  Comes over all the time and asks me to fax things for him and he always wants to know where my husband is. 


The newspaper said that he admitted to it, so doesn't a $500 bail seem ridiculous?!

My next door neighbor cleans ....sm
every other week and charges $70 to do my entire 1800 foot house. She does a great job, too - and is trustworthy. Before that I wouldn't trust anyone because of the stories of services/people not cleaning or stealing from you.
Our next door neighbor breeds pit bulls
and the new mother pit bull gets out of their fence after the owners go to bed. She comes over here and jumps at my windows and doors (I have two small dogs). She wags her tail like she is friendly and barks to get in. A vet lived in this house before I did. I won't open the door though I feel she may be friendly. It scares me that she gets out of their yard and you see all the small pit bulls out during the day.

I am so so sorry for what happened to the OP's lab. I feel that they should ban the breeding of pit bulls. Too many horrible things have happened with this breed of dog.
Ssame thing happened with next door neighbor's daughter. Not even a verbal thank you. nm

I hear such mixed thoughts regarding getting accounts by going door-to-door soliciting yourself.

Is it worth it.  Are there many people out there that have landed new accounts this way?  Most MTSOs that have been in business for a long time say it is by word of mouth, but what about MTs like me who have been doing this five years.  I feel I'm ready for my own accounts and am not sure if this is the best route.


Any opinions?


You're right, you could be my neighbor. My neighbor is flaky, too.

Figure out a way to stop a freakin' category 5 hurricane?
This was a NATURAL disaster, hello! How do you stop a 175 mph powerhouse? You don't..you just get out of the way.
And that would probably get you arrested
if they could track where the letter came from and gosh do they have ways of doing things.
Go to NBC10.com - Our local news has "Wednesday's Child" which is a child for adoption.
Every Wednesday they introduce a child who needs a home and a family. There should be some information there as these kids are up for adoption.

Hope that helps!
He was just arrested last week and it was in today's
paper, so he isn't on the sex Offender Registry yet.  He lives right next door, at my kids' bus stop.  My son gets so embarrassed that I stand at the bus stop and wait for him even though it's right next door (he says that no one else's mom does that), but now I'm really glad that I do stand there and wait.  I know I do my part looking after my children, but what does it say about our government when someone admits to child molestation and is let out on $500 bail?  Innocent until proven guilty is one thing, but this guy admitted it. 
WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.

Is that clear enough for you???
That would be his mug shot when he was arrested quite awhile back..nm
;o)
has anybody been watching Arrested Development? I watched four shows in a row on FOX and it is
I don't know when it is on regularly but it's a great show and they ran four shows back to back and it was laugh out loud funny.
It's pretty much world wide that if you have no body you have no crime. Scott Peterson was arrested
Laci's body was found, NOT BEFORE. Not rocket science here. How to you prosecute someone w/o a dead body?
how do you even get through the door with --sm
that big head of yours?! keep up your attitude and one of these days someone is going to adjust it for you. then we will be LOL

I do woodburning as a hobby and when I bought my woodburning tool, it came with a *hot knife* attachment, which is a small blade that screws into the woodburning tool and heats up. It cut through this fairly thick plastic quite well. It took about a half an hour, which was less than having tried to cut it with a utility scissors or knife. worked for me! :^)
What's behind door #3?
I'm in it because I have an interest in the medical field, but I'm too squeamish to do the hands-on stuff! :-P I won't get rich doing MT, but so far it's paying the bills.
AT&T is going door to door here trying to get
for cable, internet and phone.  They knocked on my door and told me how much less it would be per month if I went with them.  No way.  I don't trust AT&T back from the days when they were a monopoloy and I had no choice but to use them for my long distance.  I swore if I ever had a choice I would NEVER use them again.  Time Warner may be more expensive than AT&T, but I'd rather pay more for Time Warner than give AT&T any of my business.  And I don't trust them not to jack up the prices.  I've been a happy Time Warner customer for many years now and unless they jack their prices up drastically, I'm staying with them.  My internet is NEVER out more than just a brief period, and that rarely happens.  The phone service is cheaper than AT&T and the cable is fine (DH uses the TV part more than I do).
I have a neighbor who is always... sm

pestering me to "teach her to do what I do".  She stopped over one time while I was working and said it again... This time I stacked every one of my reference books up, handed them to her and told her "Go home and memorize these.  Then we'll talk about it".  Needless to say she hasn't mentioned it since.  



 


They were after the other neighbor.
They came over and asked if we had seen anyone at the neighbor's house.  Uh, no, I don't watch my neighbors all day long.
My neighbor has one. I would
like to get one, but cannot afford it right now.  He paid around $10,000.  That includes installation I think.  He uses it to heat his home and has radiant floor heat and uses that to heat the water pipes in his flooring.  It is way cool. It looks like a metal shed almost outside his house.  He is saving lots of money, but it does make smoke, so you would have to be in an area that is zoned for it.
My neighbor had one (sm)
and they are VERY high energy. They have a tendency to experience separation anxiety also. I can tell you they are not like most big dogs, in that they have a strong personality of their own and you have to dedicate a lot of time to training them.
My neighbor has/had PKD- he is 51 now - sm
He has had it for years, since he was about 35 or so. He has always been a vegatarian and the doctors said that helped him stay healthy as long as he did. He did start to eat meat and eggs some though as he got worse for the protein though. He was doing quite well until about 18 months ago when he started getting worse. He ended up have right and left radical nephrectomies, and lived on peritoneal dialysis at home and used a cycler at night. He was due to have a transplant about 2 weeks or so after the double nephrectomy but unfortunately at the last minute the donor was deemed unacceptable after they looked at her kidneys via a CT (to figure out which one to take) and found issues with hers with blood vessels and the fact that her kidneys were not functioning at 100% capacity (about 60% between the 2 of them), so that nixed the transplant. Luckily he did very well on dialysis (he has some other issues going on as well such as permanent vertigo due to the former hospital he was going to screwed up and have him the wrong antibiotics when the PD access got infected--ones you do not give a patient with no kidneys and he ended up with antibiotic poisoning which unfortunately resulted in permanent damage). So he ended up on the transplant list. Fortunately for him a young blood relative with no sign of PKD stepped forward and donated a kidney in January. He has done great and the donor has done quite well too. He still cannot drive or work due to the veritgo but is trying to get better with that with some PT though I don't think it will ever go away. I am "on-call" if he ever needs anything since I am usually home and his wife works about 35 minutes away. I don't see them too often but I know he is well as his wife and I email on a regular basis. Obviously everyone is different, but I do a lot of kidney transplant reports and for the most part they go very well. I have only done about 10 or so due to PKD though, most kidney failures are due to other issues from what I can tell from my experience anyways. All I can say it read up, ask plenty of questions and don't be shy about asking friends and relatives about a transplant when/if it comes to that. The list can take anywhere from 2-5 years or longer and they won't list you until you need it basically. You have to meet the parameters of need first. I hope it all works out for you though.
Use my neighbor's. sm
When I go on vacation there is a lawyer who lives a few houses away. He has Netscape wirless tower and I have a Linksys on my laptop. I have all the latest virus and Spyware as does he. He gives me permission to use his connection as the house where I stay does not have internet. I can work off his as though it is my own. He also uses his laptop in the parking lot of Starbucks, he states, when he is on a case away from his main tower. I don't know, just see if it works for you as far as confidentiality is concerned. I don't think anything is compromised. At first I was very worried but a nephew who is tech savvy said it was safe. Just my humble opinion. Not sure. I don't use it for work, don't work on vacation but sure do appreciate using the net, I am addicted and can't leave home without my laptop!
And one more I told the LDS at my door (sm)

I do have a question!  At the end of the earth when God meets us in the sky, how do you think we will get there, in spaceships?


(They haven't been to my door in a long, long time.)


Best Buy does it too- was 2 feet from the door, guy saw me pay, still had - sm
to show my receipt, which I had already put away in my wallet. Pain in the butt!
THE SIGN ON MY DOOR

WE ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE DOOR TO UNSCHEDULED CALLERS.  PLEASE PHONE AHEAD.   No soliciting.  No trespassing.


I may peep out the window to see who is out there, but they cannot see me and I will not answer it.  Later on you can always tell them you were in the shower, bathroom, phone conference, etc. and did not hear the door or could not leave your meeting.    


Ask yourself -- would people let you walk into their office building and interrupt them on their job if they were at their desk on the phone with the boss or a client?  NOT.


Just curious - how did you cut the door out? nm

What to do about a neighbor's yapping dog?

This thing is driving me CRAZY.  Yes I know that there are times during the day that a dog is not considered "disturbing the peace," but these people moved in about a year ago and they now have a Yorkie that they leave outside ALL DAY on a 6 foot leash and all that thing does is "yap, yap, yap, yap, yap!"  CONSTANTLY. . . ALL DAY LONG until they finally bring the poor thing in for the night.


We tried to welcome the couple to the neighborhood, but they don't assoiciate with anybody.  When anyone comes near their property, they run inside and lock the doors, leaving the "yapper" outside to "yap" even louder if anyone is within 20  feet from their property.


I've actually resorted to yelling out the window, SOMEBODY MAKE THE DOG STOP!  PLEASE!!!!"


We have a dog, but I wouldn't even get one until we had fenced in the entire back yard and then trained him from a puppy not to bark.  Of course our dog will bark if somebody knocks on thedoor, which is a good thing,  but I shake a coffee can with some pennies in it (Hint from Heloise) and he stops.


I feel bad for the poor Yorkie who never gets walked or paid attention to as he sits all day "yapping" on his 6 foot chain. But I don't want to cause any discord in the neighborhood either. 


What to do?


Lucky neighbor....
My ex-neighbor also experienced this and was lucky enough to live (very high mortality rate).   She delivered her baby OK but then all her problems began.  She swelled up like a balloon and had an emergency hysterectomy (thinking she had internal bleeding) before being airlifted to a bigger hospital.  After over six months in the hospital and rehab, she is fine with no brain damage, but she suffers from bilateral foot drop and sometimes wears braces.  She is one very lucky lady!!! 
I had a neighbor like this once but after a frank
She had a boyfriend and they were the have a fight and make up kind. One night they had a particularly nasty argument and I didn't know who was going to win the _ugly word_ you, no _ugly word_ you argument. She kicked him out. We lived in NJ and he lived in Brooklyn and it was after public transportation had stopped running so he was looking at a $100 cab fare home.

The next day I made a point of running into her and being curiously interested in the bus schedules to Brooklyn and cab fares and when she asked why I was asking, I told her I was concerned for her boyfriend after what had happened the night before, using my best "bless your heart" face and telling her if she ever needed someone to talk to, just knock on my door.

She avoided me like the plague after that and they started meeting at his house

:)

noisy neighbor
I say get a mop, cover it with material and rap on the ceiling when SHE is trying to sleep. When I have noisey cotranscriptionists at work, I take noisemaking machine that makes sounds like the ocean waves. I focus on it between the words and that helps a little. When my Co MTs were really noisy I actually used to listen to music in my left ear and dictation in my right....takes a little practice...but it CAN be done. That eliminates background noise altogether.
howdy neighbor! nm

Hi, neighbor....I'm in Reading, PA.
;)
Look in your own backyard first before your neighbor's...

I am Canadian and take offence to you blaming the whole country...are there not innocent PEOPLE dying at the hands of Americans in Afghanistan? You want to fight a cause don't do it here on this board, that's not what it was meant for.  Innocent people, woman, children and soldiers and dying at the hands of your government....take up that issue. PLEASE!  I'm sure there are numerous other NON-TRANSCRIPTION boards dedictated to it!


Neighbor trouble
I agree with ignoring her. She is seeking sympathy and attention.
They have doctors that can help her and unless she is seeking help herself, she will just drag you down with her.
Talking with friends does not solve this problem, but a psychiatrist/psychologist might be able to help her, along with medication.
Look at what she is doing already, trying to pit you and the other neighbor against each other out of jealousy. She is smarter than you think girl!!!! enough said
Howdy neighbor!
Same here, August 14th, in Gwinnett County.
I just found out that my neighbor
with a BB gun when they come on his property.  I live on a small farm and everybody has acreage.  My cats go crazy when I lock them up in the house.  Don't know what to do.
Hey neighbor! Arkadelphia here!

Neighbor Noise
Any chance of selling your place and getting a little place in the country? We live far out and have high speed internet and only critter noise to deal with. Your hours are tough ones. Don't you hate those friends who call when they know you need to be sleeping and say, "I hope I didn't awaken you."
Could one more person slam a door?

Could one more person talk in the hall right outside my office?


Could you turn your music up a little higher?


Could you come in and interrupt me one more time?


Doggie, could you whine a little louder? (has to stay in my office -- long story).


Could ONE more doctor dictate from a speaker phone?


Sheesh... now I know why I work the red eye!! 


 


 


Anything that "The Girls Next Door" say

Sure, go for 12 cpl IF you want to get laughed out the office door!

Sometimes I need a *Do Not Disturb* on my office door
I can't break myself from being always available to my kids, and I guess I shouldn't complain because they're 25 and 18 and both still love to stop in my office door and stand there and talk anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour in the afternoon, but it really makes me so unproductive in the afternoon.  This is especially rough when I know I'm behind and need to be pounding the keys, but HEY, I know the day is coming when they don't stand here and talk to me, so I try my hardest to listen when they want to talk.  It's really tough though.  Anyone else have trouble with this?  When the talk dwindles I do tell them I need to get back to work and they're generally good about letting me, but I can't stop them when they feel the need to be here talking to me.  Guess I wish I had 2 sets of ears so I could work while I listen to them too.
Gevalia - its the best and delivered to my door
monthly by the UPS guy! Amaretto is the best and regular is #2. Great coffee and prices are better than buying premium in the supermarket. Keeps me going...
It can be hard to get a foot in the door
but when I was starting out even though I didn't have the experience I would ask them to at least let me test for them, and once I did I was almost always hired. I have never worked as an IC, though- I have only worked in clinics and now 2 hospitals.

The hospital I work at now has a mentoring program where they will hire students just out of school and let them learn on the job, starting out as MT I's. Of course, they have to demonstrate some ability, but that is the way it should be. It seems to me if you are good you should be able to find work, especially with the all the complaints these days that there are not enough good MTs out there.
Something PORTABLE... while I'm running out the door! - nm

Over the door lock boxes
I pick up work from a local family practice and our schedules conflict a lot of times.  It is hard to be there exactly when the doctor finishes his dictation and they forget to give me a 30-minute warning since I am about 30 minutes away.  Sometimes I have to make a trip every day to fit his schedule.  Does anyone know where I can buy an over the door lock box (like what Lab Corp uses to leave blood work, etc.)?  I would love for him to leave the transcription tapes, etc., in the box and I pick up and drop off on my schedule so I can get to the work faster and also pick up after office hours.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
I have a neighbor who walks her dog in a stroller.
Weird looking.
My neighbor has NINE (9) Rotweilers in his backyard
One small backyard...one hugh mess. He has been reported to police and animal control and councilmen, etc.  No one does anything to him. They are scared of him. He's a known cocaine dealer in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, all the grass in the yard is gone and the dogs bark at everything and anything that passes their way! What to do???
The same thing happened to my neighbor (sm)


She passed with flying colors and then couldn't find a job.  I was amazed, I live in Southern California.
