Nosy Neighbors

[felix rex]

I didn't realize I was bbs'n with a bunch of rough ridin' trillionaires.   Hey assholes, would you mind bailing out the government so I can camp in the core of engineers park at the lake next week?

But back to nosy neighbors, I've had them before, but now all of the neighbors on my block are pretty reclusive and everyone takes care of their crap just as well as I do and we all seem to get along really well.

Although, I may have been considered that nosy neighbor myself a couple of years ago when a new couple moved in across the street and left their wireless router open for anyone to access.  I could see all of their shared files - vacation photos, tax documentation, etc.  Nothing juicy.  I looked with the thought in mind that, hey, If some ho is going to leave all her windows open and walk around the house naked, I'm probably going to look no matter how ugly she is - and this wasn't really any different.   I finally felt sorry for the poor ignorant bastard, so I sent a print to his shared printer that read, "you might want encrypt your wireless router.  signed - a concerned neighbor."

It took him a couple of weeks, but he finally got the message.

How do I know if my wireless router is encrypted or whatever?   

If you don't know, it probably isn't! 

 

just rename it to GAYPORNXXXXX

LOL at anyone who thinks Johnson County is the epitome of what upper class is. Hint, when I say upper class I'm talking about the 1-2 percent of the nation that could be classically defined based on generational wealth, education and taste. There maybe 1 ore 2 families in Kansas that even qualify as truly upper class.

Apparently you rough ridin' hayseeds think that when your cousin Jethro won the Powerball he automatically became upper class.

Ever been to Mission Hills?

why, do they taste?

Ward Parkway doesn't, but the neighborhoods along Ward Parkway do(at least the ones I have experience with do).

some guy from our HOA dropped off the HOA newsletter yesterday.  apparently I can get my sprinklers blown out next winter for $20 via some super HOA deal we got by all banding together.  pretty jacked.

Been trying to get our prez to do this with lawn mowing.  Pretty sure he doesn't give a crap.

I don't really participate.  My neighbor is retired and super into it.  I sign over my proxy vote to him.  He takes this responsibility very seriously and reports back with a recap of the meeting that is almost as long and thorough as the meeting itself (which pisses me off).  He will always pick up two copies of all the paperwork and give me mine and I will act all interested and immediately dump it in the recycling without reading any of it.

HOA's sound like a pain in the ass and rough ridin' stupid.

rough ridin' suburbanites.

I bet he would blow out your sprinkler for less than $20.

no crap.

but I'm honestly more concerned with the effect gas prices have on the economy on the whole and how suburbanism led to the decline of many great cities.

There is a little bit of a fad starting in the new residential market to create better planned master communities to recreate the city proximity of things to increase walking.  It gained a lot of steam right as the big crap hit the bigger fan a couple years ago.  I think it will pick back up when the engine starts rolling again.  

There seems to be a trend of people wanting to get the community feel back while still staying in the suburbs.

building "community-esque" exurbs is just as annoying. [/annoyingsoapbox]

schools are better in the suburbs of omaha (don't have kids or GAF but I'm told it's good for my prop. value)

For some reason, I've always pictured that you live in the American Pie 2 beach house.  I think I saw a pic once featuring wood floors and from then on associated the two.

Isn't it all relative?

(but for your situation where you live makes a lot of sense)

yeah, it actually used to be a seasonal rental. smaller than american pie, though. A couple houses on my street are vacation rentals. Weird to see vacationing families on their bikes and crap on my sidewalk while I go in to work.

warm up your happiness, [redacted], gas prices and suburban growth are inversely correlated (in theory, no idea if empirically).

You should hear all the bitching about this in DC's local papers (great reads, btw. full of underemployed journalists writing about stabbings and racial strife and great local restaurants/music). Huge rift right now with the "anti-gentrification" black community against the black families that "abandoned" their shitty stabbing-filled-but-awesome-local-eatery neighborhoods and "fled" to the suburbs.

Also, I went to one HOA meeting a few years ago. I was the only one there not in a suit and not a banker/lawyer/doctor. They're like the huxtables, but more fashionable.
