I've been wondering lately where you were and how you were doing. Hope all is well with you, or getting better, at any rate.

Letter I have prepared, and am going to send to our next-door neighbor. Can you tell I'm mad?

Quote
Mr. [Bad Neighbor]:

This letter is to inform you that you are not to interact with our children again, especially our daughter. I am very concerned about the stability of a man who would use a seven year old child as a messenger, asking her to tell her parents that her pet dog will be shot, and her parents sued, if there are further losses to your chickens. That kind of behavior is unacceptable, and will not be tolerated.

I am very sorry your chickens have been killed. I do not deny that such unfortunate occurrences have taken place. But unless you have some type of proof that one of our dogs left our property, entered your property, and killed your chickens as a result, you have no legal standing. Your chickens were trespassers, and suffered fatally as a result. Additionally, the holes in the fence have been mended, and re-mended numerous times by our family and yours. Yet your poultry keep finding access, and utilizing it.

It should be noted that, in the event such proof described above is provided to us, simply billing us for the cost of the chickens would be all the action necessary to be taken. A lawsuit on your part, even if justified, would be pointless, since we would not dispute a legitimate bill, but would pay it willingly.

If you need to pass information to us, you can email us at you_neak@yahoo.com, or send us a letter at the above address. Again, you are not to speak to our daughter, or use her as your messenger again.

It is unfortunate that the situation has come to this. You have a lovely, charming wife, and darling daughters. I have enjoyed my interactions with them very much. But my first priority must be protecting my little girl, and keeping her safe from the anger of an adult who thinks nothing of sending her, sobbing, to carry information that should never have burdened her at all.

Sincerely,




AJ & Neak Next Door

Maybe we should dispatch Aussie to take care of this stinky neighbor. Maybe the thought of the SAS surrounding him would rectify the situation.

Aussie would like that, he doesn't like people who upset kids in that sort of way and neither do I. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

why didn't he have the guts to ring neak or AJ or come over himself and complain if he thought it was a legitimate problem?

willing to yell at a little girl though the coward.

I'd want to hit him with a baseball bat but I'd probably dammage the bat, I'd try to remember that he may have had a moments freak out but he's still a wuss for talking that way to a 7 year old!!

hello all AW's mum calling in <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

just dropping by to say a quick hello to all. Hope you are well and that all is going as well as can be with you all.

Neak I hope that that sorry excuse for a neighbour has repented however his behaviour would appear to indicate not the best of attitudes.

tl I do hope you are feeling better and are not too unwell even if worked to a frazzle this week.

And AW I DID read back more than 3posts, we WILL discuss your behaviour AND comments later <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I'm getting better, thanks, but it's a slow process. Neak must be really busy, or she'd have been on by now telling how it's turned out so far. It involved the sheriff. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I'll talk to her in a few minutes if I can get my ears unplugged and tell her to hurry up.

I'm feeling really yucky, which is why I have to go to town and get that letter mailed off certified (and get potatoes, and oh yes, more ice cream for Gramps) before it gets any hotter and I die. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Where's the little emoticon with x-d out eyes?

There was somethine else besides that, but now I can't remember what it was.

Hi gang! Just catching up from a few pages back (of course not all of it, because its sooooo long), it feels good to be "re-connected" with the fam again.

I'm at Rosario for the summer, taking General Biology, much to the coveting Flard's chagrin <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! He's very jealous.

I don't have cell phone reception but I DO have wireless in my room, so good news! This internet junkie is back online! Which is great because I'm researching graduate schools and their programs they offer--I'm looking at this international program called NSEP, where the government pays for a year's study overseas to immerse in a language and culture! Or the State Department's graduate programs, where its like the military, but not. They pay for graduate studies if you get accepted and you commit to three years of work to them afterwards.

Update on Flard: he seems to be doing tons better now that he has one good friend to hang out with, but I'm putting his hand to the fire every once in a while to be introspective and try to figure out his crazy brain. Sometimes he calls me up and asks, "What do normal people go through?" and I say, "What is normal?!"

Anyway, hugs to all! xoxoxoxox

I'm TRYING to pay attention to Neakbro as he explains AT LENGTH why the price of gold is doing what it's doing. I can't string that many thoughts together at once.

My eyes are glazed over, and I have no clue what he said for the last half-hour. I tried to make witty, knowledgeable-sounding remarks, and he chuckled so I must have succeeded, but I HAVE NO CLUE!!!

Ok, so the sheriff...

AJ called them once he found out, and when they got out here and talked to him, of course they reiterated what we already knew, that as long as it was the chickens coming over here there was nothing the neighbor could do (except keep them restrained better), and that although the neigbor had been very unwise, he had not actually committed a crime.

Deputy: His chickens have no standing in your yard.
Neak: Not for long, anyway.

AJ asked if he wanted to see the letter, and he did. He chuckled reading it, and then swelled my ego to huge proportions by saying it was a great letter, and "You write just like an attorney!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />verweeningprideemoticon:

So he offered to go over and, without mentioning that a letter was to follow, to stress the points contained in the letter, as in keep your chickens to yourself and don't go frightening little kids, to put it in a nutshell.

Just before he left (for the neighbor's house) a second deputy showed up. Cute, young, and a real dog-lover. It was very funny the fuss he made over Mayer, crooning, "Yes, oh yes, you're just following your natural instincts, yes you are...you just don't like those animals in your yard, oh no..."

They were both very impressed with the fence - 6 foot chain link, for any who don't remember. We originally got it so high to try and contain the Dervish. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Then they went over to speak to the neighbor. A couple of minutes later Neaksis arrived, rushing into the house with an excited air of mystery about her. Eyes glittering, she hissed, "Did you see?" And jerked her head unobtrusively toward the neighbors.

I pointed accusingly at AJ.

It took a moment for her to realize what I meant. Her eyes bulged, her jaw dropped, and her voice rose at least eight octaves. "Whatever for???? Oh dear, I can never hold my head up around here again!!!!!!"

(Since this is where she will be living once we move.) So I showed her the letter, and we began to think of ways to try and prevent problems in the future.

What we finally came up with were warning signs wired to the fence, about 18 inches off the ground. The text would read:

[color:"red"] WARNING: NO TRESPASSING
Violators will be dismembered and eaten![/color]

Then the next line it would repeat in Spanish, and the third line would be chicken footprints.

I still don't think the neighbor would be amused.

So THAT'S why, when we left your house with neighbor's wife right behind us in her car, Neaksis made me drive down a totally different street--so that N.W. wouldn't see where we were going, or where Neaksis lives! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
