crazy flippin' neighbors

Here's the story.  This is  my neighborhood. Seriously.

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/21542961/detail.html

 I ended up having to go pick my child up from elementary school because the bus couldn't bring the kids home.

 I swear, my neighbors are crazy.  I don't know what it is about this place, but the police and/or other emergency responders have been to almost every house on my street for one thing or another!  This is just the latest in the crazy things that have happened here. 

 Since I moved here not quite 4 years ago, a neighbor's house has caught on fire, a few days later, a neighbor hung himself, that same summer a dresser fell on a child and killed him, yes, killed him.  He was 3.  My neighbor across the street threatened to put dog poison down at his mailbox so the sheriff paid him a little visit.  Same neighbor got into  a fight with his brother that spilled out of the house and into the yard.  Police came.  another neighbor had a worker fall and severly broke his leg.  another neighbor had her husband removed from the house.  I'm sure that worked out well for him since she was pregnant with the back door neighbor's baby.  His wife was too.  This past summer a neighbor's water heater exploded, sending him to the hospital and blowing his garage door apart.

The neighbor up the street has had the police visit her several times since she moved in.  Domestic disturbance.  Great environment for the new baby her teenage daughter just delivered.

Now this.  What is wrong with this 'hood?  Maybe there's something in the water.

 Is your neighborhood filled with drama?  Or is all your drama golo-related?

Yeah, dang developments are encroaching on everything. We can, now that the leaves are dropping, see the ugly one they built in what used to be woods in back and to the side of us. I need more evergreens to hide them.

Oh Sheba, if only I had heeded that advice! It was next to impossible to find a neighborhood without one though. (I didn't believe that at first)

Let that be a lesson to you, Lawpirate - never EVER live anywhere that you are subject to an HOA. I vowed I never would and I never have.

No! The houses are 200k+ and we have one of those lovely HOA's that people have been brainwashed into thinking they have to have.

" I'm not even going to *think* about work."

Me too. I do not intend to check work email - it must be the full moon or something.

Sheba, I agree. Random behavior happens in all neighborhoods. The safest neighborhood I ever lived in was the first one after I was married. It was ruled by a grandmother who was 4'11, weighed 90 pounds, and kept a gun in her bathrobe (which she wore 24 7 ). She was in her 70s, she had seen it all, and she did not flinch at calling a hammer a hammer.

I loved that lady

Ever consider moving? That sounds terrible

You're right, Lolly - there is often just as much drama in upscale neighborhoods. The one in Cary, for instance where a woman was murdered by her husband recently. To say nothing of the one right down the road from us where an elderly woman murdered her wheelchair bound husband.

Happy Friday, Lolly! It's been a rough week; looking forward to not having to go to work tomorrow. I'm not even going to *think* about work.

" it's needful things"

happy Friday Sheba and lawpirate!!

I think people = drama. It's not a place or a culture - people are just very random

Sounds like a typical NC trailer park to me. For your sake I hope that's the case, cause it's a lot easier to relocate from one of those than if you OWN a house in a place like that. I know where you're coming from... The 'worst-of-the-worst' of our neigbors recently 'moved out' of the neighborhood.

Hey Lolly yes it's needful things. It is starting to feel a little bit like that here.
