Aggressive Animal Haters, Pool Ogres and "Hippo"critical People.

 I would like to take the time to share with you my experience that occurred yesterday (8/22/2012) and just a taste more. Is it right?! You can make your own opinion of it? But, this is the type of stuff that has been happening around here for Six-Plus-Years. And, Yes, it is every bit negative and you can thank the person that pushed my last button for that! So if you do not like negative things, don't read.

 I had left the house so proudly, to take my son (The new 3rd grader!!!!) to his first day of school, which is about a 7 minute round trip. I left my 3 dogs outside, knowing they would be fine for that time, and yes, they are dogs, and, yes, they do bark at people as they pass by our home.

 As I drove into my drive-way, I saw, Bob, "The President" of our H.O.A, at our fence, aggressively yelling at the top of his lungs at our dogs. "SHUT UP YOU DAMN DOGS, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE....... GO.......GO!!". Well first of all, I can not begin to even remotely explain my fury, and how real mature of him; and like the dogs are going to respond positive to that......,DAG ON UGLY IDIOT OGRE that he is. Second of all, he does not even live next door to us. Third of all, the dogs are in their own backyard. "Stupid is as stupid does".

  Needless to say, we exchanged words. I told him, "How dare you talk to my animals that way, and this neighborhood is going to crap!". He kindly told me, "You should get the hell out of "MY" neighborhood", and that we "Were just like our dogs!!". This is the man who posted signs up in our community that reads: No ATVs, No Dirt bikes and No Go-Carts. We are also not suppose to have RVs either, that issue comes later. He, Bob, ("THE UGLY OGRE"), regularly rides his ATV up and down the road of our community.  

                     One of our, oh no, sorry, "HIS" signs that are posted
                                                                   

                                                                      
   Also, my first job was at a K.O.A, I never knew I would live at one. Our community looks like a RV park, including Bob's house (Oh, that's right, he has a "waiver").  His garage was built about a foot too short, (story of his life I'm sure), so his RV won't fit. So, he got a "waiver" from the board for that, he's so cool!! And not that I have a problem with RVs, but there are facilities built for storing them, instead of your drive-way.

This is our lovely view from our deck.

 

      You can see the fence we placed up to "try" to cover it up. Our next door neighbors were "heartbroken" and so "hurt" that we put it up. I also, so got my butt chewed off for the fence (at least she called and apologize for chewing me out).The same neighbors who kindly gave me the warning that my so called "family-in-law" has spreading the word of "our" third pregnancy, which was very uncertain, and we had not even told our own children, because we were not sure there would be a pregnancy (Abram, is here and beautiful by the way, and, Thank God, I (We) had never prayed so hard in my entire life)!  So, "they" decided that this was acceptable even after "they" told the neighborhood about our SECOND pregnancy (Jeff, had ZERO joy in spreading the word about going to be a father, because they did that for him). Jeff, was so gracious for keeping his mouth shut about it that time it happened, I felt very sad for him. However, it did not go over so well the next time they told the neighborhood, and my head hit the roof hard when our son, Christian, found out from someone else, not us (And call me crazy, but wouldn't most "normal" people be very very ticked-off)!  So, yes, I called "them" and I feel that I was rightful for being angry, especially when they told everyone and never said one word to me. I received no sorry, just a, I don't understand why you are so upset and the very, very kind words that spilled out of my husbands," Brother-In-Laws" mouth in the background, lots and lots of F words! I have not spoken to them since that day. Seems they like to gossip and felt they had a right to spread the word, sometimes things should just be kept personal and private ( but,not in this hood).  You totally deserve one another.  P.S.- No one ever asked us (or others around us), how we felt about looking at  RVs. Especially while we eat our meals at our dinning room table or on our deck. THINK ABOUT IT???
 


  Now here are the new stop signs that went up in front of our house, which Bob installed, that hardly no one STOPS for. Good ol' ,Bob, does not stop either, half the time, or he performs the good Ol' California Roll!! "RATHER MEANINGLESS STOP SIGNS", as Bob says in his comment, see below.
                        (Three-way stop has been up since June 2012)

                                            

                                              
                                            
   Anyway, I'm sure his parents are so proud of Bob, Jr., you may know them? It is such a shame, his father seems like such a nice guy! But, they may lose many customers from this. Sorry, Bob Sr., my heart  truly goes out to you.

  In fact, Bob Jr. (THE UGLY OGRE), was working at my parents next door neighbor's pool.  My parents dog ran to the fence and barked at him. Dogs so definitely know who are good and who are bad.  He once again, yelled at my parents dog. He had no idea that my mom, was in the backyard and was listening to his jerkish words!! I'm sure his father and mother, would not like, nor would be pleased, how their business is being run by their son.

  So, if you are ever in need of an "UGLY POOL OGRE", and have animals, I would reconsider calling him, because you might not have one after the job is done.  :(

  Dear Bob,

  You should have taken the finger like a MAN, though you would know nothing of that, what the heck, did you really think you would get a kind wave back?  When I moved into the neighborhood ("The new one on the block", and I did not know better at the time, I so do know), I was told you were only the, "pervert next door". You pulled this with "them", a fence was installed between your houses, now you're back to sharing cookouts. You got to love the "Family-In-Laws"!

  Why are they so fixated in talking about us. We want nothing to do with them.  We don't talk to them, we don't socialize with them, we don't speak, wave or look at them.  We try to ignore them, yet, time and time again, we are the topic of their conversations.  Why?  Get over it, get over yourselves, live your lives and let us live ours.  As soon as we can move we will. ("GET OUT",I used in all caps as Bob does in his comment below)!

  P.S... This has never ever had to do with "The Girls", or my Parent-In-Laws....I still love you to pieces and always will. I wish you all the very best, even, my husbands "Brother-In-Laws", "other" daughter! I also know how it feels to be a single parent! 
           And, To My Dear, Dear, Nieces, you should know your, Uncle Jeff, is a noble man, and you may not know it now, but you will, I PROMISE!!!!!!
