Or you can be a bloody sarcastic ass and become hated and reviled almost universally.
Different strokes for different folks.

PLANO (CBSDFW.COM) – The sound of children playing has become the subject of a lawsuit between two Plano homeowners.
Kelly Counts placed a playhouse outside her backdoor for her four children enjoy.
“One of the big reasons we chose the house was because we would be able to move this playhouse,†says Counts.
But the mother says that laughter coming from her kids in their playhouse has been drowned out by music with raunchy lyrics coming from next door.
“It’s unfathomable to me. I can’t imagine the sound of kids playing at any age or stage of my life and thinking that I needed to sue someone over it,†says Counts.
But Counts is being sued for a playhouse that her neighbors say is upsetting their “tranquil quality of life†and quote “creating noise issues as well as visibility issues for them and their pets,†according to minutes from an HOA meeting.
Those neighbors are Irving and Anita Ward.
Irving Ward declined to comment on his lawsuit or the Counts lawsuit against him over the explicit music they claim is retaliation.
“I have nothing to say. I have to call my attorney,†he told CBS11.
But the Wards argue that because the 10, 7, 4 and 2 year old children are homeschooled, the noise never stops.
“The Wards have never once asked me to tone down the noise of the kids playing,†says Counts.
Kelly Counts says she’s tried to work with her neighbors but they refuse.
Since the City of Plano and her HOA have approved the playhouse, the Counts don’t plan to move it.
But they also don’t want their children to hearing explicit music when they go outside.
“I don’t feel comfortable in my own backyard,†says Counts.
This appears to be headed to court with both sides seeking damages.
The raunchy-music lovers apparently do not have to go to work during the day.
Could be welfare queens. That is the music they prefer.
Sounds like you have many happy memories i hope they are soothing to you.
*Snort* Giggles!
You have mail
I understand your loss, and point of view. Nothing can compare.
Very sorry for your loss. May your daughter and your husband’s memory be a blessing to you.
Mrs. AV
I guess I am too new here to do an about page or use the mail feature and all my posts are with held for review.
Whatever.
I trust the mail. Yeah.
And somewhere somewhen someone told me I had the right to remain silent.
Someone else told me to sing the song of my heart.
They had a big talk about this about 45 days ago. There is an app that will correct this problem. FR causes some of this. You can cut and paste a quote from FR and post it on FR and it will give you the ETM things.
Ah, yes! I remember those days back in 2000 on October 8, when I signed up as TheOldLady. There
were several nice FReepers who kind of helped me along with the Free Republic Zeitgeist, and I am
forever grateful to them for the acceleration of my FR wisdom.
You just have to be a nice, conservative person, and most FReepers will help you when you need it.
Anyway, enjoy your probation. Please let me know when you’re off it so we can chat in FReepmail.

I’m as mean as a snake with a backache.
You just caught me on a good day.
;D

I see that your initiation has begun. Believe it or not,
these folks are all on your side. There’s nothing more fun
than breaking in a newbie who happens to be a nice guy.
You’ll be fine, just as soon as you stune your beeber.
Pay no attention to my dear friend humblegunner. He has an incredibly
unusual sense of humor, but once you get used to him, he’s quite a
good friend to have.
KWYM, ours played piccolo.
LOL!
Maybe only The Shadow knows. Tee hee.

Nah. I think I will just be me. ;-)
