Sick and very sad: Woman Sues City of Tulsa For Cutting Down Her Edible Garden

[PotatoChip]

68. Your neighborhood sounds like a hoot!

No really, who needs a teevee, computer, or outside entertainment when you've got all of that going on? Especially at your previous place. Truly a head scratcher, that whole ordeal! It probably wasn't at all funny at the time, but come on- looking back on it, the idea of you and the other tenant having to sneak your garbage into the neighbor's piles, the 80 year old landlord trying to pass himself off as your sugar daddy, in his dreams, right?

Then of course, if that was not enough, there was the downstairs runaway tenant, code enforcement having no clue about something as basic as your building layout, not knowing just by a glance, that you'd have a basement and likely an attic- Oh and that attic... Yikes!- Ok that part wouldn't be funny, then or now. I'll definitely give you that. House-fires freak me out. One of my greatest fears actually.

But overall, your old place, while probably a huge pain in the a** at the time, certainly makes for an interesting story. Plus, it's got to make you thankful for where you are now, lazy dog poo guy and 'lawn maintenance police' issue(s) not withstanding. Ha! Btw, it cracks me up that you call them that, along w/the 'garbage inspection police'- I should have known that it sounded too bizarre to be real.

Your other neighbors sound pretty decent, and hopefully dog poo guy is gone for good this time. Oh, and you have a pool! I'd love to have a pool! Oh well, maybe someday.

My home and neighborhood is dullsville in comparison. Well, with the exception of the next door people who, despite having lived there for nearly 3 years now, I can't quite figure out. Other then their penchant for tacky lawn ornaments, they seem normal enough. That is until you see the inexplicably dumb things they do.

At first I thought that this older couple and their 40'ish son might be alcoholics or drug users, because no one in their right minds would go through SO many perfectly good lawn mowers (for example). The son seems to purposely run over the same rocks every time he mows, then acts completely baffled when he kills it. I swear that they've been through at least 5+ mowers while the one we've had for over 10 years keeps ticking- This is but one example of tons of things- and it's not just the son. I can only conclude that stupidity plays a role in their almost daily predicaments. There seems to be no other explanation.

Oh well, it's their money, so whatever. At least they keep to themselves as do we, so it's all good, I guess.
