Toil, Toil, Boil, and Bubble...


Well, as stated prior - it helps me to vent about my degenerate 'neighbors' - and I have to do so to keep from losing my mind and temper.

Those who are made like my beloved hubby, who have the blessed ability to be like Gandhi and be able to not allow things to bother them, well their suggestions are appreciated  - but not helpful. And these low-life's behavior and lack of property maintenance even gets to my beloved hubby after a while...and even he agrees nothing is going to change until they move out.

You would think that the City, County, and State would step up and in to enforce codes, laws, and ordinances - its what our tax dollars pay for, right?! I mean I'm providing photo proof of trash and debris piles that are against code and my tax dollars pay for them to go out and confirm, write a citation, and check up on it to ensure public safety - right? Makes sense?

NOPE

Reported this issue in June 2016 - and the piles get larger and larger. I report it everyday UNTIL it is cleaned up. You'd think I was asking for a cure for cancer.

Anyway - an acquaintance of mine shared a website with me to not only post about these low life's but to look at other hilarious, and some serious, shameful neighbors:

www.neighborshame.com


Some were quite funny - others were OMG - NO WAY.

I did send in photos of my shameful neighbors and tid-bits. Other people sadly do have it worse. BUT the saddest connection was that many have made efforts to get their City, County, and State involved to rectify and enforce laws, codes, and ordinances AND THERE'S NO HELP FOR THEM EITHER! Sad, sad, sad - I mean, that's unacceptable...truly.

Here's some of the photos taken from neighborshame - and remember, be thankful - my issues and these other people's neighbor problems COULD BE YOU!





WOW, right?! If you have a different opinion, well, its America, and you can... 

BUT I challenge anyone who says they won't and don't pick up trash on their property, won't and don't throw trash away on their property, won't and don't clean up their yard (not asking for gold fountains - but can you at least chop down weeds?!).

Tolerance is one thing - responsibility is ANOTHER.

So again, followers:

Toil, Toil, Boil, and Bubble...

My apologies for yesterday - I still had more 2016 Jeepers Creepers Creations to post - however, time got away from me and I had to attend a mandatory College Prep meeting at my daughter's school last night - 

Today - I'm back in gear - have the day off - doing final preparations and packing for tomorrow's set up at Sugar Plum - whew!


I also hope to clean house - its a disaster! I've been a working woman as as well as a stay at home mom - now I'm both - but by far the hardest and most demanding was to be a stay at home mom, BUT it was also the most rewarding!

Off to final introductions...
