I have no idea now what is going on over there. It is so hot here..we haven't seen anyone or even hear the air conditioner running. My husband said to me last night..that if the house is going up for rent again...he is going to tell the people who are renting it out... to screen the people who want to move in next time.

Thx BRI for your advice also...I really appreicate all the advice you all have given me. I just hope it is all over with..but.he has such a temper that I fear for the people who are still living there. I was scared s-tless! I have never witnessed such bad behavior before. I always had nice neighbors till they came and moved in. Then we hear from our other neighbor that we respect and like alot..that the S.O.B. is in a gang! That really scares me. We don't know from one day to another what is going to happen over there. I just have a really bad feeling..I don't think he is just going to let it go..he is awful. I really feel that he is going to get revenge! Thank goodness we have a wall and a protected gate.

We were sitting oustide last night..and him and another guy came and got the stuff that she put outside. When they came to get the stuff...my husband told me to go inside and stay inside. There was no disturbance, so we didn't have to call the cops. I have a feeling though..that he isn't done messing with people who are still there. I will not hesitate for a second to call the cops if it ever gets ugly! With the housing situation here...house prices are going down and in these times..you never know who you will get as neighbors! I can't imagine whoever is still living there will stay...will have to wait and see what happens. We live in a nice house and the neighborhood is nice..it won't hurt my feelings any if they move. Whatever it is with that house or landlord or both..people don't live there long.

Like I said..we don't think anyone who is living there has a job. He is the one going out since his clothes are outside. I have no idea how they can afford living in that house. All the houses around here are very nice. Seems like the people who move into that house..don't last too long there. I fear for her and kids tonight when he sees that his clothes outside. The cops may be getting a call tonight..will have to see what happens. I just know that in no way are we going over there...let the cops handle it if it gets ugly.

I have a big feeling that it is going to get ugly at that house tonight. She threw his clothes in a container and put it on the side of their house. I just saw a lady and a little girl go to the house...hope it is her mom.

Thanks for the advice...if I hear anything again...I will just keep my mouth shut and call the cops and let them deal with the a-hole! My heart went out to the kid and I couldn't just sit there...but..now that I know he is in a gang.it is better to let the cops handle him! I do have a protected gate that keeps locked and a wall around the house. I also have a dog that I got from the Humane Society that will attack if anyone tries to hurt me. My husband can't even hug me without her growling. Come to think of it..that neighbor yelled from the gate the other day and said he got locked out of the house and wanted to use our phone. I said that I can't help him right now. I don't trust the SOB!!

I won't keep my mouth shut from calling the cops if I ever hear him hitting the kid again! I yelled at him when I heard him hitting the kid and told him to stop it and then he stopped! I wanted him to know that I heard it all! I hope she gets up enough nerve to call the cops! If she doesn't think it will happen again to her..she is wrong!

We live in a nice neighborhood...but a house next door to us got rented out to some questionable people. They don't work..we think there are two couples with kids. One day I was sitting outside and I heard a kid crying and screaming..her dad was hitting her. Then last night we were watching a movie and we went outside after it was over and 2 of our neighbors that we do know and like alot, were outside. My husband went out to talk to them and here the neighbor who we don't know that moved in next to us, was out there also. She told them that her husband got mad and threw her cell phone outside and needed a flashlight to find the pieces of it. My husband got a flashlight, they found the cell phone but didn't find the back of it. She told them that her husband had beat her a few weeks ago. Our neighbor that we are close to told my husband that her husband is in a gang! I told my husband that we should do something and he said to stay out of it because the last thing we need is a mexican gang coming out to get us. My heart goes out to this woman and her family. What do you suggest we do if anthing? I don't know how they can afford living in that house. We suspect they are on welfare and selling drugs..but we have no proof. Hope this is typed right..I am upset about it.

Congrats:) Am so happy for you all:) Best birthday present ever:)

These reipes sound great ty:)

No wonder why I am relunctant to eat at restaurants. I got a treat today and got to go out to dinner. Don't get me wrong..I appreciated my husband taking me out ok? This place that we usually go to has been good in the past..however..they changed management. Flies flying all around..it was blazing hot in there, it was cooler outside and then the waitress almost spilled food all over my husband..had to keep asking for refills on tea. My sslsa and guacamole recipe is better in my opinion and they are to be famous for it. When we go out to eat..so far I just know of 3 places that we are going to get great food and service. 1. Hungry Hunter is the best! 2. Red Lobster 3. Logan's Roadhouse A Famous Daven's has opened up here...has anyone ate there and if so...what is your review of the place?

Appetizer Platter: Thread chunks of ham, salami, bologna, summer sausage or meat of your choice on toothpicks with chunks of cheese and dill pickles.
