i think it's stopped. thank fuck.
those people are such assholes. i'd rather have breakfast with 10 loud chewers than have breakfast with them.
they're all "ooh we have nice people over and do sing-alongs and use cloth shopping bags and we belong to the neighborhood committee" and yet they never never never even acknowledge their actual neighbors.
except, that is, the day the man came snooping around to see what i was painting (though he didn't even care once he found out), and then it came out that he thought i'd just moved in. 12 years, dickhead. i've lived here 12 fucking years you self-involved prisspot.
and since then he's gone right back to ignoring me.

take a deep breath and do your best not to bludgeon your neighbor to death with his own "welcome friends" door plaque.
I don't have any hard feelings toward the type of neighbors who have very little interaction with you because they're intensely private/shy. but these people sound like the smuggest, most self-congratulatory bastahds on earth, so I feel for you.

lxy, i can come over and set some booby traps if you want. they'll never know who it was!
― tehersa (tehresa), Friday, 3 July 2009 06:03 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, ur, that's exactly what they are. well stated.
t, if they got booby trapped one of their song-singing friends would probably organize some motherfucking goddamn candle-in-the-window/flag-at-half-mast/potluck-at-the-turnaround kind of bullshit, so best leave them to their healthy tediousness, i think.
but thank you for your support!

i was leaving for my evening promenade and saw some ladies walk by with balloons and thought, hey, that's nice! and then when i went outside they had left them by my front door!

i love them. my two good sturdy fit-lots bags, they're both from Providence
― jergins, Friday, 3 July 2009 12:53 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i walk to the grocery store, i don't know how i did it without them before. they fit so much and you can put them on your shoulders and no more cabinets full of plastic bags i will never reuse.
― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 3 July 2009 12:59 (fourteen years ago) link
nothing in the world wrong with cloth bags, i'm all for them, use them all the time. despite those self-righteous fuckers across the street giving them a bad name.

i get paper bags, the kind with the handles. i use them for garbage bags
the internet makes me lol sometimes. i am a very informed shopper, dating back to my high school supermarket gig.
safeway in cali is called Vons iirc. it is a shitty store and i never go there. i buy my gin @ trader joe's - 18.99 for 750ml of tanq/bombay sapphire. my wife started drinking gin again so i go thru 1 1/2 bottles per week

i do 100% of the grocery shopping in my family. my kids always misbehave in supermarkets though, i don't see what the excitement factor is for them but they try my patience (which is admittedly pretty poor)

i was SO bad in the grocery store when i was a kid. my brother was worse though. also we always made my mom buy us a donut.
― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 4 July 2009 12:16 (fourteen years ago) link
we were never allowed to go inside, we had to wait in the car.
― estela, Saturday, 4 July 2009 12:21 (fourteen years ago) link
sometimes my brother would refuse to go inside so he waited in the car and my mom would say "you're gonna get stolen. good."

one time my brother released the hand brake and we were rolling down a hilly street towards another car all screaming with excitement but then a man we knew was going by and he saw what was happening so he opened the door and put on the brake.

i used to teach 3 and 4 year olds. the idea that they will listen to what an adult says, let alone DO what an adult says, is pretty lollable

i'm sure they'll become very good listeners once they become school-aged
― lxy, Sunday, 5 July 2009 04:22 (fourteen years ago) link
actually when i worked w the lil ones for schooltime at the arts center, i found the 3-6 year olds were super well behaved. older than that you start having to restrain yourself from wanting to shake the little smug, satisfied grins off their faces.

when my nephew was three and in my charge he stole a packet of tic tacs and hid them in the tiny pocket of his tiny shorts, they fitted exactly, but i caught him because he rattled when we ran and when i said, wherever did those come from, he said, the fat boy at the shop gave them to me, and then our friend who was visiting from london turned glum and said, i was the fat boy at my parents' shop.

i've never hated a person as much as i hated this little boy Yuya Mizukami (need to put him on the call a random person a cockfarmer thread. in 20 years he might find it). Age 3, biggest little shit i've ever met. he and i, we had a private english lesson, and it was a battle of the wills

Defendant was convicted of bastardy. The Criminal Court of Baltimore, S. Ralph Warnken, J., entered judgment adverse to defendant, and he appealed. The Court of Appeals, Hammond, J., held that where Criminal Court could properly have found, as it did, from evidence of witnesses other than mother of child and her husband that mother and her husband did not have intercourse at time when, under the laws of nature, the child must have been conceived, mother was competent to testify that she had had relations with defendant, that he was the father of the child, what he said and did after he knew that she was pregnant, and her reasons and her husband's reasons for marrying.
