Exactly. I think this says all that needs to be said.

I used to get really pissy in our old neighborhood. There was one piece of property that never got mowed.....the weeds got so high that they met with the lowest branches of the tree on their corner and you literally could not see around the mess to pull out into traffic! The guy who owned it would come by and weed-whack it every once in a while. The same bozo started a fire on the sidewalk to get rid of extra wood and cardboard from his property! I about had a heart attack!

I thought my house was on fire!

I called the city I don't know how many times! The guy had inherited a few properties around town and all were foreclosed for non-payment of taxes and because he owed so many fees and fines for not taking care of them. The guy was clearly mentally ill--I felt bad for him, but not that bad.

And when the city was building a sub-pump station near our house, the construction company used to park a running 18-wheeling in front of our house from 6-7 a.m. It literally SHOOK the house. It was awful. Cassidy was a newborn, we were all sleep-deprived and I was in constant communication with the city about the problems--of course, the city offices didn't open until 8 every morning. Ugh.

I wish there was an easy answer, Lisa!

Just sick Scoundrel on him next time.

Scoundrel, the attack cat! He's a watch dog, why not?

ewww, God knows were they've been.

NA, my love, while i understand why you would feel guilty, please know that you have the right to protect your selves and your property.

while i think having an Astro Blaster laser gun zap each litter bug in the azz would be fun, that could lead to trouble.

a solution that may leave you trouble AND guilt free is water. turn on the sprinklers and you may find the mobile 7-11 and it's customers vanish faster than an amorous spider following love making with a Black Widow.

I used to have my sprinklers timed to go on when the kids were walking home from school (see I am EVIL as if you didn't know) but they just kicked the sprinkler heads and now they're all broken and my handymand isn't not handy in that particular area.

which begs the question, in what areas is your man handy

Probably plumbing. It's all about taking care of the plumbing.

You know - for our sprinklers - fixing them is a matter of unscrewing the broken on and screwing a new one in. Maybe yours is easy too?
