I just got this mental image of some guy in pajamas picking up dog poop in your back yard at 6AM. For some reason that struck me funny. I do realize that it was aggravating for you. Joyce I did misread. I'm sorry, I was still upset about this whole episode when I read your post. Mea Culpa I just couldn't believe she had the nerve to ring the bell *with her dog* not on a leash and scream like a banshee! Her dog (nice dog, BTW) practically ran into my house! Poor dog was probably looking for a quiet sane place to stay. Jo |

I sense that there is a new problem with "renters" like OMG ..renters, baad. if I recall correctly, until you inherited you had a rental yourself. So stop it Tweed |

I still cannot believe this. Jill Hello, You may be in danger of assault. Many years ago, in Bucks County, Pa, i lived across from the Heinz Soup Heiress, and her husband. My dairygoats got out of the fence a lot, to eat along the edge of a field of corn plastered right up against my electric fence, causing it to short out; until i was able to get someone to fix it. The owner of the field, was the heiress. Her husband took me to court for the herd eating their corn. I told the judge the corn didnot belong to them, because they had the field rented out to someone for the season, and that the renter was the owner of the corn. I also told the judge i got gas at the renter's gas station and told him about the herd eating the edge of his cornfield, and could i pay him for it. He said, no, he wanted no payment, because they hadnot done enough damage to make it worthwhile (actually they were only eating the leaves on the stalks). I also explained to the judge that the heiress’s widowed , grief-stricken Peacock, who was in love with my rooster, lived and ate on my property all day (went home to bed at night), and their horses often wound up running around loose on my property, endangering my little girl’s and my life, and stamping into my flowers and garden. In other words why isnot this whole thing a neighborly give and take instead of a court case? . . . After returning from her long nip of the juice: The judge found me guilty. No. 1. The judge and heiress were Jew. No. 2. I was a born-again Christian, who sent her children to both Presbyterian and Mennonite Church, SundaySchool and BibleSchool. Iam telling you this to help you to understand how and why things turn out the way they do. [God help the Palestinians]. Also to warn you that itis going to get much worse. Also donot interact with these people, as theyare drunk with power, and nothing can stop them. As more and more of them wake up to that realization, it is going to get really horrible for us . . . ask the Palestinians . . . Read and Google “Talmud” to understand what goes on in the mind of Jew, and why our Nation is in the hopeless mess it is (that oil spill is no accident: http://judicial-inc.biz plus http://www.jewwatch.com ): TALMUD: http://video.google.ca/videoplay?doc...1054584&hl=en# Proof Christians are the "chosen": Rev. 17:14 http://tinyurl.com/theChosenPeople Proof "Jew" are the "chosen" of Satan: John 8:44 http://tinyurl.com/theJew Now that Jew have their own Nation, Jew Must Pay Up For Death of Our Saviour as per agreement found in Math. 27:25 http://tinyurl.com/jewOweUSA OH YEAH!

Jo I've never had children so maybe that's why I don't understand mothers who insist to the very end, "Oh no, it couldn't have been my son!" My former MIL was one of those. An enabler. Paid his way out of every possible situation. Well guess what? Not every kid is a good kid. We'd been divorced for a year and a half. And when he realized he'd lost his meal ticket he started stalking me, harrassing me on the phone at work, threatening me. Then he vandalized my car. That was the last straw. This was one time his mother couldn't buy his way out of it. I eventually had him arrested and he was tried and convicted and sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in prison. His mother couldn't buy his way out of this particular problem. Jill |

Yes, she is. _She's scared for her dog_ I wouldn't hurt her dog. All I did was leave her a note asking her to walk her dog on a leash. How does a note make her scared for her dog? Jill |
