Recently we had an altercation with our next door neighbor over the fact that he continues to let his dog defecate in front of my house and does not pick up after her. His family just moved into the neighborhood a couple of months ago and we have suspected for awhile that he was the culprit that was leaving behind little surprises for us on our front sidewalk. Obviously we couldn't accuse him without first having some kind of proof so we embarked on a full scale detective investigation to see exactly what was going on. Let me preface by saying that I had a bad feeling that this particular neighbor was going to be a problem when I realized that he was a crazy nut with no boundaries. You might think that this is a harsh way to categorize him but I bet you will change your mind when I describe to you some of the things that he has already done since he moved in... The first thing he did was to jump into another neighbor's car while he was warming it up and … [Read more...]
The Case of the Ex
This topic has been fermenting in my mind for quite awhile. I have debated whether or not I would post about it due to the fact that some of the people who will be discussed here subscribe to this blog. Finally, I decided that I wasn't being true to myself and to the integrity of this blog if I did not provide my readers with the opportunity to chime in with their thoughts and feelings about the whole thing. Your feedback is invaluable and perhaps it will help to change the minds of some of the parties involved. Most of you who are loyal followers of this blog are aware that I was married once before.

In hindsight, not having had any kids turned out to be a blessing for me because it allowed me to make a clean break from this man and I have not had any reason at all to maintain contact with him over … [Read more...]
Do Unto Others…
This week, my wonderful Mother In Law pulled another one of her fast ones. Those of you who have been following this blog for awhile know all too well about my MIL's shenanigans. In case you just recently started following, you can read about the wonderful Thanksgiving visit that she bestowed upon us last year. You see, she has a way of turning any joyous occasion into sheer torture. Just to give you a little background, my MIL does not like me at all. As far as she is concerned, I am not worthy to be married to her son because I am not strict Born Again Christian like she is. Now, let me be crystal clear, I have nothing against Born Again Christians whatsoever. As a matter of fact, that is the religion that my husband was raised in and, although he is non-practicing, he still lists this as his religion on all legal documents. My MIL, on the other hand, looks down upon anyone who does not adhere word for word to everything that is written in the … [Read more...]
