Re: What made you not smile today.
Sure don't miss my old redneck neighbour. Blasting out tunes, bass cranked to max well past midnight, but before the sun went down he'd be cruising his yard on his ride'em mower, phone in one hand, beer in the other.normaM wrote: ↑Sep 17th, 2023, 8:18 am Older neighbours had a party last night. Friendly reminder that no one wants to hear your *bleep* music at Midnight. The drunker they became the louder the music. Treated to hearing Don't stop Believing for the 3rd time at 12"30
I couldn't counter blast as the neighbours on the other side have a new baby and I didn't want to wake it.
I have planned my revenge, I will do it later this afternoon so they know it wasn't merely an oversight on my part
It's always the ones in Docker shorts and jerusalem cruisers you have to watch for - I knew problem brewing when all the lil hatchbacks appeared.

Two mornings ago, 5 AM that is, guys out trying to fix a truck with flashlights and tools. Uh, ya no one has to work, right? 

Spend some time and money on establishing an Estate plan, a Legal Will, your wishes and who is the Executor. Watch Grant of Probate videos. Understand the process to help yourself and loved ones.

Re: What made you not smile today.
An idiot moved into my area about 2 months ago. His (her) car alarm goes off 4x daily, minimum. Often at 2 am.
Why wouldn’t this fool fix the problem with his car-horn honking alarm?
I’m hoping the clown reads Castanet

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Dude isn't a red neck, they appear rich and he likes himself
Was such a success!!!!! I placed my garbage bin on his side of the fence, when he saw it outraged he moved it back to my property
I had the great pleasure to inform him where I had placed my bin was my property - when I built the fence I built it on my property, so nice I left extra space for whoever lived there to have a place to put the snow when they shoveled
Well that calmed him down :) He asked how long I planned to leave it there, I asked if it annoyed him, Ha He said yea a bit, I said uhhuh, like hearing same songs blaring at 12:30.
As I walked away I said " It's about balance. I'll move it today before he has to go to the trouble to screen it - I am not a dik

Gosh, that’s a great system for catching his attention when there’s an issue to discuss. Just park the garbage can at property line. Brilliant

Ah, facing the door they enter and exit from Did enjoy his moving it back, the returning to find a note from me, then I caught him storming out to move it again, when I made my announcement

On hold for 3+ hours waiting to talk to an RBC rep (with the inevitable accent), attempting to discover why I don't have a significant refund.
Before that, emailing back and forth with VRBO asking why they haven't refunded my cancelled reservation. Almost getting nasty.
Only to find out the bank has had my refund for 12 days and counting but still haven't posted it. I'm almost maxed out and need it posted.

I thought you were smart enough by now to drop Banks…go to credit union?
They bend-over just to please their customers. Seriously.

^^^^Did the van to Ft Lauderdale last year.
Terrific cruise but Covid was rampant the second half. many in denial as they did not want to be quarantined. So be careful eh.
The Midway tour in SanDiego is a must see.
