I'm wondering what is up with people these days. Maybe my simple mind is missing something.<BR>I have a neighbor who I used to kind of hang out with it, we'd sit together outside when our boys played together, I watched her son a couple days a week while she worked, we'd get together at each other's house, right next door to one anotoher, and watch movies and whatever then all of a sudden she wouldn't speak a word to me and made some derogatory remarks about me to my other neighbor. It seems it's all because one evening her cousin, a guy, came to visit her and parked his truck behind my van, blocking me in. I asked him to move it and just park in my other parking spot, it was pouring outside, he moved his truck and was standing by my living room window talking with me and my daughter, we were playing cards and she coldn't beat me so she asked him to come in and play a quick game with her, which he did. He was here for a max of five minutes and my neighbor called. He left and she refussed to open the door for him. So he drove back to his place. From that day forward she woldn't speak to me. NO big deal, had I known why. Then I find out it's because she thinks I was hitting on him, hardly!! But even if I was, we are talking about her cousin here not her boyfriend, I hope!<BR>Then my other neighbors husband see's me outside trying to start the dang weedeater and having no luck so he comes over and tries to start it, seeing that the spark plug keeps popping out of place he takes it to his house, right across the street and fixes it, brings it back, get's it started gives it to me and it dies. So he starts messing iwth it some more, get's it started and weed eats about a 6 inch strip for me and his wife comes over all bothered that I have her H doing my yard work! Umm, we're all friends here and she was standing outside with my youngest who's afraid of the weedeater while her H helped me out and she gets mad about what? <BR>What am I missing here? I never asked anyone for any help but I certainly needed it with the weed eater, alhtough I supposse I could have just used a knife or something to get the weed out of the cracks but geesh.<BR>The she goes and calls my 2 yr old a [censored]! What is that all about? Then she calls and wants to know if I want to go out to lunch with her and then go shopping? Umm, where is your head woman?<BR>I'm not usually overly sensitive or even easily offended but I think maybe I am this time. I don't know.<BR>So, what am I missing here? My H has never not helped someone out and it's never bothered me in the least. He's been over to my neighbors to help her fix things. I'd be more bothered if he didn't help someone out.<BR>Oh I don't know. Maybe it's not even worth the effort of being curious why people are like this. But it ahs been on my mind.<BR>OK, I know i"m rambling so I"m gonna go. Thanks for lettimg me take up space with something so trival.

Based on your description, I don't think you're missing anything, or we both are. Called your 2 yr. old a [censored]? Geez.<P>WAT
