Apparently so. I was all, Brian just cleaned all that up (including in front of my house) OH HELLS NO. Had they been older, I might've called the cops, but they had on a local elem. uniform, so... Just one of those dumbass things little kids do when traveling in packs. Given their demeanor, I don't expect they'll be trying that again soon. "Ma'am, yes, ma'am. I apologize for my brother, ma'am. Ma'am, do you have another broom so I could help, ma'am? Please?"

Good call, Lisa!

Sara, you are truly awe-inspiring. And yeah, I'd've been scared to death too!

My neighborhood is full of satellite trucks now, for Sandusky's hearing tomorrow. A little while ago, I could hear helicopters circling. And, for added ambiance, there was a Christmas thing this past weekend, and Santa's house is still on the courthouse lawn.

I might also be a little whackadoodle.

Nah, you're awesome. It takes a village!

Pretty sure it freaked out one of my neighborhoody friends on fb. But I have a pretty good gauge for confrontation, I think. And I'm just not one to turn a blind eye.

I've told you about the early morning I heckled a (really inebriated, I guess) guy who kept trying to take a piss under people's decks, right? OMG, that was hilarious. "HEY! WTF MAN! That's not a toilet either! Take it to the field!" He finally took a leak on the sidewalk FACING Ellerslie. As a cop drove by. And stopped.

Heh! sarameg is the awesome neighbor lady!

ION, I now remember why I stopped making chex mix. Because I will eat it ALL.

Jilli, heh. And sigh. I just never, ever, ever make or buy chex mix, ever, because once I started I would never stop.

I have enough supplies to make at least three more batches. Doomed. I am doooooomed.

I am following I think you all on pinterest. I am my real name there, so be not afeared.
