I cruise the neighborhood first thing in the morning before people would go to work - so I know how many sleep there (that drive, at least). I check on Saturday evenings to see how many are standing around their front yards holding 40's. I check when school lets out to see if there's a pack of kids acting a fool and no adults around. <br /><br />And I'm big on looking at the condition of cars. I don't care if they're old, but how people keep their cars tells me a lot about how they'll keep their grass.<br /><br />Unfortunately, my neighbors here with the rust-painted cars moved in after me - and let their grass grow as high as the fence.

We have a Mariah - and she doesn't miss ANYTHING. <br /><br />Some people find it obnoxious, but since I'm not doing anything worth talking about, I love it that she's a stay-at-home-mom with all the time in the world to watch everything that goes on. Our neighborhood is still under construction and with so many contractors in and out every day, it's nice to know someone's watching while I'm at work.<br /><br />Glad you liked the video!Jana DeLeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351774231244304409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-86445359740976246962009-07-20T19:08:42.361-05:002009-07-20T19:08:42.361-05:00Keri - I don't know.

We're moving right now -- furniture in, old place needs to be cleaned -- so this is really the perfect post for me right now. <br /><br />We had a terrible neighbor at our last place, a real *****. Then I finally made a friend in my other next door neighbor, only to have to move a few months later. I was being stalked by another neighbor's 7 year old niece (she was even peeking in my windows!) in the days up to the move. <br /><br />Now we're in our new house and I have no impressions of the neighbors thus far except that there are a gazillion people sharing the house next to ours and there are ten cars parked around the house behind ours. Wonder what I got myself into in this neighborhood?!Becky LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030931605009567165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-31337104457822357382009-07-20T10:50:21.213-05:002009-07-20T10:50:21.213-05:00I think one day I actually went to church to get a...<i>I think one day I actually went to church to get away from him.</i><br /><br />I think this line cracked me up the most! LOL!<br /><br />We have one neighbor who's been on his best behavior lately. But one day I heard shouting and looked out and he was yelling at another neighbor out the passenger side of a van. The next thing I knew he'd opened the door--while the van was still moving--and he fell out in the ditch! I had no idea what the shouting was all about, but when he fell in the ditch, I fell on the floor laughing. *g* Turned out he was drunk as a skunk (so he wasn't hurt).Tori Lennoxhttp://www.torilennox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-79128264096574244162009-07-20T10:27:16.441-05:002009-07-20T10:27:16.441-05:00Thanks for posting the video and all I can say is ...Thanks for posting the video and all I can say is "Wow!". Talent finds like this are exactly why the show works...and why I miss seeing it. <br /><br />I've been lucky in all the neighborhoods I've ever lived. One exception: the people who had their car up on blocks the day after they moved into the house. Their back hill country accents were so thick I understood on a good day maybe 1 in 10 words. That's not saying a lot when the one word is "axt". Thankfully, three months later they were gone, including car and blocks. Currently, I get a kick out of the neighborhood watch emails.Terry Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709143995475498601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-41541614481800742442009-07-20T06:59:20.759-05:002009-07-20T06:59:20.759-05:00A great reason to live where I do--nobody around m...A great reason to live where I do--nobody around me but family!
