    Well, I don't know about Gloria, but wife and I would never tell a neighbor "Mind your own business!" and/or "We don't like you and don't want to know you!"

    Have never had a neighbor say that to us, of course, except for our next door neighbor here. We can't do a thing about the anger they (mother/daughter) have towards people, because of what happened to the mother.

    Space/boundaries have nothing to do with just being plain rude to others.

    It’s just a fact of life Cody and you’re old enough to know that. The best we can do is to be as we expect others to be and treat others as we expect to be treated. On the human side, in the end that’s all that matters.

    As that great thinker / philosopher Jagger said, “you can’t always get what you want” but, “ya can try sometimes, to get what you need.”

    Actually, he sang:

    "But if you try sometimes, you just might find,
    You get what you need!"

    Actually changes the thought being expressed, to an extent. Ooh...... semantics!

    I know this, Bobby. But, what I'm saying is.......don't take your anger out on someone telling you something that could help you. We haven't done a thing to either the mother or daughter to make the daughter say what she did to me. What she said was totally uncalled for! Saying "mind your own business" to someone can be/is hurtful and can be dangerous these days. Depending on who that is said to. There are are those out there that would have done a backlash to her (in words) and, perhaps, law enforcement would get involved.

    In as much as I am a heavy student of semantics, I’m lousy when it comes to song lyrics.
    Let’s call it the “pit” of my day because everything else is going swimmingly!

    Well Cody, forgive me for writing this but between you and the maintenance gal, ya’ll really are in a lot of people’s business. Maybe she overheard some of you guys conversations and that’s just where things led.
    Jus sayin’.....

    Well, they can't live in a house because those pesky owls insist on hooting. Maybe an RV is the answer; just hook up and move. :D

    Do you think you might have done something to provoke that statement from them? If she's politely pushed you away before and it hasn't worked, then she did what she had to do.

    Although I doubt if Cody would do it, you might have something of merit!
    He could drag his boat along and go fishing wherever they went and go to rodeos and stay for a few days. A lot of trailer and RV parks w/WIFI that really do not cost that much by the month or just travel and use the smart phones for a hot spot so “the wife” can keep her job.

    Okay Cody, Beth has solved yer problem so sell what ya can and go buy that used RV with a push out, a canopy and a hitch on the back. No lousy neighbors, no noise, no millennials, no nothing but the highway and a fishin’ hole or two. Get your kicks on Rt. 66.

    Janet and I plan to do the whole Rte.66 drive, possibly next year. Since she wants to stay in as many cheesy motels as possible, along the way, we'll be leaving the RV at home.

    In truth, I wouldn't mind being an RV full-timer, I'd actually enjoy it, at least for a while, but Janet won't have any part of it. So.......

    I'm not too sure about that. Even when I was a kid, people would travel to the great outdoors in order to keep it outdoors as they watched their [blaring] televisions.

    Then there are the kids they take.
    And their dogs.
    And some people miss the trash can and don't even bother picking it up.

    Not everyone who camps is friendly. I said "Hello" to one woman, and all she did was scream at me to get out of the ladies room!!! I just wanted to talk...
