Don't feel bad Pete. My new neighbors downstairs are psycho. I hear them fighting all the time. I guess it's better than listening to the demonic, schizophrenic banshee that used to constantly be screaming at imaginary people to get the F out... but not by much lol. I will be joining you in a drunken state soon.

We need a virtual pub up in here!

Here's the "not silly" reply to your comment:

Yep, I know I'm not that bad off really. There's always someone who's worse off than me. The old "I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." It doesn't mean we have to like it though.

damn, 14 years?  that's a long time.  I hope you like your new place. moving is rough.  I'm glad I moved out here though. 

wish I was drunk as hell.

I like my new neighbors, they're very quiet. As opposed to the ones in the city, of which the landlord and his wife were the noisiest. She kicked in his door once before they were livinbg together. Screeches like a fishwife at the top of her lungs, vaccuums at odd hours like 5 am directly over what she knew to be our bed, etc. He liked to gun his Harley outside our open kitchen window and frequently drove home the one mile from the bar so drunk that he dumped said Harley in the driveway not once but twice in the same evening. I still think he was the one that clipped my truck and never said anything about it. Oh, and the party girls on the corner with the non-stop stream of frat boys in and out of their house, all yelling at the tops of their lungs. Nope, don't miss any of them in the least.

Been there, done that, got the T. Shirt and the scars to prove it. Sartre was right when he wrote "Hell is other people".  Of course the accepted meaning of those words is that we cannot escape the torment of those around us, but it works for me. :)

Personally I prefer Hemingways "I drink to make other people more interesting" but I'm off on a tangent now. Taxi!

That's what I always hated about living in dorms through college: fucking neighbors. At least I had a uniform that said "I'm here to tell you to shut the fuck up cause it's 4am."

One of my friends back in Toronto bought himself a house beside a graveyard. Best Neighbors ever!

Wow, quite the lively place. lol. So, changing "drunken party noise" for  "loud construction work noise"? Eh, guess it balances out.  So long as you & the fam are happy,Pete!

Peter have you been drinking again?lol. I have not had a drink since 1 July 2011. Now I can not drink anymoe anyway so.... Some people, right? Anyway. Have a good weekend.

No probs Larry. I'll drink enough for both of us. What are friends for?

Thanks buddy!

Well yall all be grateful you didnt have me as a neighbor back in the day i played drums 24/7 lol!!

Sometimes a change in enviroment is the best thing. I had a bit of a gypsy up bringing so picking up and moving is second nature to me. I think 12 years is the longest I have ever lived in a single place. Been back in New Orleans for about 2 years now and I hope to move to the Washington-Oregon area in a few years. I have lived in the south all my life but I just can't handle this heat anymore. Hope the new place is everything that you hoped it would be.

Geez, that sounds like some of the people I was loathed to call neighbors. Hope you have lots of good times at the new place!

We're settling in. Still living in boxes but they are dwindling. :) 

and that's why I don't bother with my neighbors. I'm greatful that most of the are elderly folk that keep to themselves as well.

That's what we thought when we moved into the old house. Nice quiet neighbourhood we thought. Boy were we wrong.
