Thanks. I think she was a pampered princess growing up and doesn't know how to be a good neighbor. Two weeks ago I put some tupperware containers for bread, cakes and others, on their front porch (I'm their only next door neighbor) and she never bothered to ask if it was me who gave them to her to thank me.

I even put a couple of baseballs for their little boy on the porch and still no thank you.....

And more ugh:

The county came by a couple weeks ago and did "trimming" along the roadside, leaving cut branches up in the trees, which blow down into the ditch and help block it. Better revisit this morning...

Yes (toxic) although they can be boiled to leach out the toxins. Somehow squirrels can eat them, although I am suspicious that if they eat too many...

“My question is, out of courtesy, should she have brought me some cookies when they were done? She didn’t, and it kind of ticked me off...”

What? Is this an advice column now, too? LOL! :)

“Dear Abby, dear Abby
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren’t so expensive I’d wish I were dead

Signed, Unhappy

Unhappy, unhappy
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood”

(’Dear Abby’ by John Prine)

Maybe she was raised in foster care? People don’t have the manners that they used to. Maybe she isn’t good at making new friends and doesn’t know how? Maybe she hasn’t met anyone in her ‘new’ town? Take them some tomatoes later this season. Go out of your way to be helpful. Can’t hurt, might help...you get some cookies! ;)

Signed,

Dear Abby

Hope you are better everyday!!!

We are praying for a massive conservative turnout on 4/1! I sent 25 letters to republican voters from Million Voices asking for them to vote, see that other like minded people vote and a comparison of their judgements of issues. Please Wisconsin help us keep the righteousness flowing in America and vote like you never have before!!!!

not that we do stuff for attention, but honestly actions like hers are what ends up causing people to not reach out.

Entitlement mentality is one of the most repulsive of character traits.

Some nasty weather headed our way, we are just east of Grand Rapids Michigan about 30 minutes.

We really like squirrels!

Me too. Not the next-door neighbor when I had my old house, though. Civil enough guy, but very religious and kind of a wet blanket. He saw two squirrels happily fornicating in the wheel well of his parked pickup truck one Saturday morning. Never forgave them. Probably thought they did it just to piss him off. Heh. :-)

Be safe, and post an update when you can. Do you have a tornado shelter / cellar?

We dodged the bullet with this storm. Neither the forecast snow nor ice happened, by the grace of God.

This weekend’s weather is supposed to be bad in many places and then on Wednesday, a stronger storm is forecast.

It’s going to be a VERY unsettled spring and sadly, likely lots of damage.

We have a basement walkout. We must have gotten three warnings each to take cover immediately. Past us now thanks. It was moving so fast It was a real doozy after 40 years here. Of course we have 10 acres of very heavy thick woods. Probably lost a few. Sirens still going off in Lowell 3 miles away we can hear them. Just lots of rain now which we need.

Then she’s just not a ‘People Person’ like you. Or she was raised by wolves.
