Adam peeked in on the forum but did not post this morning.
I hope everything is okay.
Yep.
I checked on my phone as I was walking Niki. Got back and washed the car. While I was, I had the joy of my neighbor stomping over and asking me (in a way reminiscent of a child having a tantrum) if I was going to keep putting out bird seed. I told them that I had planned on it, and he then quite angrily asked if I'd clean the bird s**t off of the wall, b***ched a bit because another neighbor was there (as if it would garner him support), then trounced off.
To set the stage, I had cleaned the wall off about two days ago to be a good neighbor (even though birds were on that wall long before I put out seed). No mention of this by him, just as insinuation that I had never thought of doing it. This is also the neighbor that, just yesterday, I cleaned up part of his yard and raked it while I was cleaning my yard. No mention of that, either. So, am I thinking about not putting out seed to make him happy? Hmmm. This is also the neighbor that, 11.5 years ago when I asked if he'd consider not running his hot tub for 4-6 hours every night because I couldn't sleep, told me he wasn't going to change how he lived just because it bothered me and that I should consider wearing ear plugs.
I actually ran out of bird seed and wasn't sure if I was going to keep putting it out, but maybe it's time to go buy some more.
