"Not so easy. I have a terrible time finding anyone who would help me out with anything. I can't rely on my neighbors"
Which is exactly why I have been depending on myself and the Internet for all things pertaining to me and mine. I don't even speak to my neighbors. I watch out for them, but I don't speak.
Besides: Neighbors always want a "reciprocal" favor...not a good idea.
I say "hi" whenever I pass any of my neighbors. Most of them look at me like I'm crazy, and usually don't respond.
