So, the neighbor guy who once backed his truck over his own mailbox has acquired himself a motorcycle. A loud motorcycle. A very loud, put-putting, grumble-and-roaring motorcycle.
That he apparently can only start up and leave idling in his driveway. The only place it drives is me--bonkers.
Now, in the larger scheme of things, this is not a big deal. What with VT and the War and the Supreme clown Court ruling and all. But still.
The least the guy could do is offer me a ride.
What's making you crazy this time of the year?

Do you have one of those hepa air filters? I've wondered if those work. I know Consumer Reports said many of them are bunk, but still.... do you have one?

Any day that the temperature is above 45 degrees (which is increasingly the case lately) the family in the house adjacent to ours lets their dog out. They just open up the door and let the poor little thing wander around the neighborhood. The first few weeks after we moved here, I actually returned the dog twice, thinking that he'd been let out accidentally. I couldn't understand then why the family looked annoyed, instead of grateful or relieved. Now I get it. I feel so sorry by the sad looking little guy.
And he poops in our yard.

Maybe the motorcyle guy will hit the dogs.
The poop will biodegrade.

I feel your pain about the motorcyle---and that is my number one complaint...year round. We live in a historical area that somehow got onto the local Harley "driving tour" route...so every weekend, loud, obnoxious motorcyles go up and down the street. Ironically, it has gotten so bad that the town council has said that all the motorcyles (and noise) is constituting a nuisance and destroying the historical character of the town...but the motorcyles keep a coming...

What's driving me crazy? My inability to find anything funny to share. I guess there's just not a lot of funny stuff going on just now. I will wait patiently and take heart in the fact that the day is not over.

Oh, no!!! I don't want that! He's just a little dog, so he would get hurt and the motorcycle guy would just feel a little thump... Maybe the dog could poop on his motorcycle. |

I think my neighbors and your neighbors are related, slac vap. I just recently complained about another neighbor who lets his dog poop all over the place. The thing is, he escorts the dog to other people's yards, and then pretends he doesn't see the huge steaming pile of turd when they walk away. cbl |

I once babysat a pitbull puppy for a friend. He was a small puppy, about three months old. One day he ran down the street and a Hells Angel, on the requisite hog, accidentally ran over the dog. The puppy ran screeching and yipping down the street, flew into the house and hid under a sofa--no injury, no tire tracks. Immediately afterward, the HA came roaring down the street behind the puppy, and saw which house he ran into. The HA begged us to give him the dog. He was so impressed that the little feller weren't damaged, and he thought the incident bespoke worlds about the dog's future character. I declined his request. |

This intersection of "dogs" and "hogs" is too much...cracking me up....
We too have several large dogs...who like to bark at strangers...well, a summer or two ago, one of the hogs broke down in front of our house and it took him and a fellow hogster about 45 minutes to fix the bike....the whole time they were trying to fix the bike, the dogs were barking, howling, etc...the bikers kept looking over their shoulder at our dogs (in our house, mind you--barking at the windows) with looks of disgust at being barked at...I guess they failed to see the irony...as the looks they gave my dogs when parked in front of our house is the same look most of us give them on those noisey machines when careening/joy riding through the town...
That was one time I didn't chastise my pups for robustly barking at someone....

slapvac, et al--Most localities have leash laws for dogs. Next time the little thing is loose, call the pound/humane society, and report a loose dog. They'll pick it up and fine the owner for its return. They will also counsel the owner on proper care. If the owner doesn't claim the dog, and it's a puppy, it will be quickly adopted. Puppies and smaller breeds tend to be adopted while bigger/older dogs are not.

What's making you crazy this time of the year? 1. I moved yesterday. This morning, no hot water. 2. Yesterday, found evidence of rodent(s) in kitchen. 3. None of the faucets in this house are amenable to waterbed filling. On the bright side: Only one day of class left. |
