Oh dear, the neighbour 3 doors down. Weve lived here 18 months , he has never said hello or acknowledged us even when we said good morning ..Now I know it's Sunday but we were being quiet all day, whereas the guy a few doors further up is using a jet washer god knows what he's washing but it's taking him all day, then someone out the back has got a wood chipper or something running but all we were using was a battery drill which makes very little noise, but at three o'clock OH needed to use the electric jigsaw to just finish one thing. The neighbour from three doors down immediately jumped up and started screaming out the window , turn that noise down its Sunday people are trying to rest.
My husband did tell him two very short quick English words beginning and ending with f. The neighbour then came to my door and I was polite. He said you were making noise, its Sunday .
I said yes but lots of people make noise have you been to their houses too? Then he said no but you've only just moved here, I said .. so you thought you could come round and bully us did you? he said no but you need to learn to speak friesian.. I told him , this conversation just ended , and slammed the door in his face. I wouldn't have been so offended but he didn't speak Friesian he spoke Dutch so why should we have to speak Friesian?
When I think of neighbours, and how they can end up, I wonder about tribal living, and how well that actually works.
Most of our power locally comes underground these days so what was a common occurance when I was little is fairly rare now. I still remember the candles we kept at the ready and hours before bed in the dim light. In fact there still are some candles in the kitchen
Our lines are underground also but we have these intense thunderstorms that can hit the substations causing a surge that knocks the power of for just seconds. Enough to have to reboot the internet and reset the "older" clocks around the house.
I don't know whether they are the same but I have a friend who once worked on these transformer systems. Apparently when they cut out it is very vicious, switching mssive amps / power instantly. If I remember they cut out then reset but if the fault is still there they chop off again and stay off and need intevention.
There was one occasion I remember when all the lights came dim around the house. On checking the mains voltage with my meter I found that it was half it's usual value. More like the US 115V lol That fault was unusual, but it's the spikes in power which cause the most damage.

When I find a movie I wanna watch and the words spoken are too damn quiet to hear and then someone shouts in the movie and blasts ya cuz the sound is up to hear the rest of the crap. I have earbuds but my God I'd be deaf listening to the shouting scenes!
Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.

Mary I know what you mean. I'll put a movie on the tv and have to turn the volume up because you can hardly hear what they are saying and then a scene will come up that is so loud I have to grab the remote and turn it back down.

Or, the commercials are sooooo loud. Hulu is like that.

The commercials, being louder, tend to wake me up and remind me it's time to move so I am prompted to turn the TV off
The stories of kitty capers remind me of our dog when I was in my teens. If I was alone in the house and someone knocked at the door when I was lying in he used to come upstairs and bark beside my bed as I obviously didn't hear. Otherwise he didn't come up at all. He was very intelligent.

But could he tell you that Tommy had fallen down the well?

I don't know but I was also amused when, wanting to go out and standing by the door, I opened the door and he saw it pouring down with rain he decided he could wait

Having a shower in the morning, only to end up a hot and sweaty mess by the afternoon.
Just a good excuse for another lovely shower
We don't have one, which is good as I would live under it and stack the water bill up. I have found that, when able, I love hot sunny days just to be able to have a cool shower. When on holiday I can't hardly wait to try the shower
I had to take my friend to the town Hall to pick up her disability parking card. There were loads of people there trying to arrange last minute passports for themselves or their children because they are going on holiday in two or three days and the child or children need travel documents.
This obviously didn't occur to them when they booked the holiday months ago? One man wanted passports for his 3 children but hadn't bought the children to the town hall, he argued that he had photos of them and that should be enough! Another was annoyed that he had to pay a fee because he needed a passport on the same day, he thought it should be a free service! Honestly I wonder how these people managed to reach adulthood.

The person should realize they have to submit a passport application form months before any holiday. It won't be processed in one day. I know this from years of travelling. I've had a passport since 6 years old and my parents ALWAYS applied for a passport renewal months in advance.

Those people behaved dumbly.
Here the standard time is one week for a passport but the Council does warn that they can experience delays during the summer
