Ya know honestly I try to get along with everyone but....
Havin a problem with my newer neighbor, he's a moron, he had someone cut a bunch of bushes and saplings down and piled them along the fence a week ago, I kinda thought that he had the intentions of burnin it but couldn't believe anyone would be so stupid cause of where he's had it piled and we are under a no burn order :rolleyes: . Sure enough he fires it up, melted the cover on his BBQ grill to the grill, he's lucky, it's propane and didn't explode. Fire went right up to his house and I thought it would melt the siding but somehow didn't, flames were 10 feet high:facepalm:.
After it was over I seen he burnt the full side off one of my evergreens:mad:, now that side is everbrown. So when it really got roaring he freaked out and ran inside. He hasn't been out since.
What a duffis

Jimi my gosh.

No matter how much you like to live and let live, I think you have to report him to the fire department. Some people have a little psychopathic thing about fire. You may be in danger. At least report it. They'll let you do that anonymously, and as you said, you're under a no burn order.

I'm so sorry he ruined your tree. We need all the beautiful trees we can get in our lives.

I won't be on much today. We're having a birthday party for my youngest. I have 6 racks of ribs ready to get on the smoker, just waiting for the heat to stabilize. My wife made tater salad, we have watermelon cut up, and assorted other stuff to munch on. Plenty of beer for me and the other grandpa as well.

Pool is at the perfect temp and outside it's supposed to be reasonable at 88F today. We should have a good time with the grand kids.

This is the movie that spurred me to start the "good old times' thread. The Thanksgiving that I started it they didn't play it on TV, first time here, and it made me think to start that thread

Well at least people really enjoy your "Good old times" thread.

Did you know there was a 1925 silent movie version of L Frank Baum's 1900 book "The Wizard of Oz"? I had it on DVD for a while, but it's one of those things I was able to later sell for a lot more than I paid for it. The plot was different. Right before the storm, Dorothy's uncle tells her she is not a blood relative, but was a foundling infant left at his door. The twister lands the farmhouse in Oz, where Dorothy finds out she is a princess, and now the rightful ruler of Oz.

Yesterdays good thing....The cat condo was delivered yesterday and the cats love it! Call it a condo cause it's huge when it's all together.
It's two separate cat carriers put together with little pop outs where the kitties can lay down in and get some sun if they are outside.
This one shows the pop out but it's also cute

This one shows the kitties lovin' it

Wanted to get something that was big enough for all three kitties, but also one that they could stay in if an emergency happened and they would have to be in there for while. However, needed one that could also be used to take one or two kitties to the vet.
It was funny, when I first put it together, I crawled through it, Tigglee was watching and I freaked him out, lol, he was like wth is she doing and his head was tilting hard, lol, and he wouldn't come near it until about 10 minutes after I was out.

“Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal
is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn’t live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists
to live a life not half a life”
— Khalil Gibran

It just seems like I have a black cloud constantly hanging over me.
He is a pyromaniac, he burns styrofoam cardboard and anything he can every day.

May be an image of text that says 'I read something recently that gave me the chills... Your purpose is not just the thing you do. It's the thing that happens to others when you do what you do. It's how you make people feel and remember you by doing what you do. It's S the experience that your energy leaves upon them. By mastering your unique gifts, you step into the realm of the infinite possibilities. The greatest blessing you can give to humanity is owning your purpose and inspiring others to courageously own theirs.'
