Oh my goodness, I have just checked back in and see all your kind and well insightful messages... Well she did call the police and made a report...they will take it from there...she gave the description and all the facts... Funny thing...My Daughter works for juvenile Hall and is trained in defense and all that good stuff,...but the thing is, when your alone and on your own and someone comes up on you unexpected like that .... well, it gets your heart racing....thats what it did to her....and therefor the call.....She reacted very well for what happened....but scary all the same.... I do hope they get him, chances are he is just mentally delayed and not all that harmfull...but you just dont know, and you should never presume...Ever! watch your back all!

I'm getting really frustrated, I am trying to watch clips on youtube and my ad block isn't working right or something, bc I keep getting these anti Obama, horrible lying rhetoric, irritating things, which is taking me forever to get rid of. Maybe I need to upgrade, I don't know, but I also didn't expect all this at youtube. I guess I need to find someplace else if they are going to have this constantly, it just doesn't seem worth it. <sigh>

I never get any pop-ups at Youtube, and my pop-up blocker ever picks up any "pop-ups" too. That's really weird that you are... You should run a virus scan or at least spyware/malware, that may be causing it.

Thanks Neko, I'll try that, they're not really pop-ups, though, they're like embedded ads, I'm not sure what to call them, but they're on the same page as the clips. My flash and adblocker usually works, but it takes a few attempts to get it to turn off, if at all.

Yikes Mummy, you have neighbors who live for harassment. I had my first and last experience living in a neighborhood with extensive CCR's and nosy neighbors 3 years ago. We sold the house last year, and I couldn't be happier to be out of that environment! We never broke any of the "rules", but when other neighbors did so, they received nasty anonymous notes on their doors in the middle of the night, and the police were called anonymously. That lead to speculation and accusations about who called the police, of course. I was SO happy to see the last of that street in my rear view mirror.

Bicbicz911 I have a neighbor that lives in my building that leaves notes all the times on peoples door. Last year he did not like where we put our containers that had tomato plants and I was sitting outside with my roomate and he actually had a conversation with us Did he say something to us in person? That would be a big fat NO. Instead at about 9:00 that night we hear a knock on the door and by the time we went to answer the door there was no one there but there was a not telling us that "We were making him angry and he did not like our plants there" My neighbor that lives across the hall from us (above this neighbor that loves to leave notes) said she got a not during the winter telling her she better not put on her boots before 8:00 am. (Hello she works for a living and she works different shifts so there are some mornings including Saturday's that she has to leave before 8) This note leaving neighbor has tried a few times to commit sucide a few times.

I'd like to make a request to anyone who may possibly be in a position to order t-shirts for a group of kids...please stay away from white! I can't afford anymore spray n wash. This year in little league (our area anyways) all the leagues gave the kids who were chosen for all-stars t-shirts. Up until now, they've always gotten trophies, this year they got t-shirts. Pretty nifty t-shirts too, they have the little league's initials, ball and bats, along with "All-Star 2010." All white t-shirts. I like the idea, the kids love getting trophies but it's not like they can carry them around everywhere, but they can wear their t-shirts to show off. Not to mention it's fun when we're out and they run into some other kid wearing an all-star shirt from another league and they can (being girls and all) squeal with each other over it. The girls also got t-shirts at the end of fall ball when they went all the way in the tournament and played in the championship game. Another nifty t-shirt they are so proud to show off and wear everywhere. But, please, no more white! I don't have a kid, I have a dirt monkey! If she ain't getting dirty enough during practice or a game, she flings herself in the dirt before we leave so she can be filthy. I've gotten to the point I won't allow her to wear the white ones to practice anymore, but even taking her to the store, she comes home filthy. Just threw her all-star shirt, her fall ball shirt, two jerseys (one has white stripes down the sides, the other thankfully has just a thin silver thread to worry about,) grey socks, and white softball pants in the washer and used half a bottle of spray n wash trying to keep them all from looking grungy and stained. Feel like I'm fighting a losing battle! I love shirts that show off their school activities and sports stuff, but enough with the white already, lol. Grey is iffy too!

trick to that white shirt thing. BIZ. 1/4 cup in with your white wash. Let the washing machine fill up, put in your whites, put in your detergent, and the 1/4 of BIZ. Let sit 15 minutes. Run the wash. The whites are white and the filth is gone. No need to use Spray and Wash which is a much more time consuming and expensive. I know... I have to do Chef Whites (hats/coats/aprons) for Holly for Culinary School, and I've made it through one year so far doing it this way.

Will that ruin the writing and pictures on the shirts? I think (not 100% sure) that both are silkscreen.

My gripe: The Dept of Wildlife. We have a small lake near my house, about 1/2 mile from my house. when I bought my home, the lake was maintained by the state park dept. You could bike, ride your horse, walk your dog... it was just lovely. Five years later, they gave it over to the DOW. No more biking. No more horses, and worse, there it is smack dab in the middle of a residential area, and they began allowing bird hunting. I adjust, grumble, and go on. My dogs and I still hike around the lake several times a week. Now, I read in the local paper that the brilliant DOW has decided to ban dogs (even dogs on leashes) because they have had too many complaints about dogs chasing wildlife. But hunting dogs are allowed. So, I can no longer walk my well behaved dogs on leashes around the lake (which was a big reason I purchased property here), but if I had an ill-mannered hunting dog (and there are plenty) I can let it run loose during bird season. I'm pissed. I guess the idea is that law abiding citizens get punished, rather than dealing with offenders. Just sucks.

Actually, I'd also have a gripe with DOW allowing hunting that close to residential homes. Just sayin'!

That makes no sense to me, Kar. I just don't see any logic in that. These things can drive you crazy.

Sorry... what is DOW. Also is there an area where a dog run or dog park can be created so nobody can complain about the dogs bothering the wildlife? I do not like birds but I do not want people killing them.

It is the Dept of Wildlife. And they knew there would be a huge public outcry, so they didn't post that the upcoming change was going before the commission in May, so that the public wouldn't know about it and wouldn't show up for it. There's no duck or pheasant or turkey in the area. Just geese and doves. And lots of fishing. We're not in the city, just unincorporated county, so we'll be showing up en masse at the next local DOW meeting. You betcha! My DS and his friend were discussing it, and my DS said, it's so stupid. It's like saying, hey there are speeders on the highway, so from now on, no one is allowed to drive on the highway. Indeed.
