I am thinking I would like to totally deck this nosy-a$$ed neighbor. Son and I are cleaning up a lot of the branches that the city could not fit into truck. (We had enough to load his truck that normally does 4 neighborhoods) While we are out there, this neighbor (the one who has been fighting our construction with city council all along) comes along and starts in on me wanting to know when the water dept will be here to start, are we aware that a lot of times the inspectors will require you to have a new roof no matter how old or new your is, how much did you spend on windows and such and all these other questions that are no business of hers. then, she had the audacity to ask if I have gotten a speeding ticket yet on a specific road. They recently, within the last 2 years, lowered the speed limit from 35 MPH to 30 MPH. I replied that I have not gotten one and don't plan on it.

She's lonely. Send your MIL over to visit her...for an extened visit...like, maybe 6 months.
Absolute faith can blind you to the consequences of the actions you allow. It can tell you it's okay to drop bombs on another country, or that it's okay to hate a group of people such as homosexuals.

I would have looked at her and said "I'm deaf, I can't hear you" and walk away. she has no business asking you these questions. Hope you didn't oblige her by answering.
Perfect solution.

I am thinking about getting some appetite suppressants, I find myself snacking or craving food at stupid times, and I'm supposed to be on a diet.
Suggestion: Unless you are on a strict medical diet ordered by your doctor, get off dieting altogether.
Eat anything you want but in very moderate porportions. Gauge: the size of the inside of your palm. Vegetables and water are unlimited. Kills the cravings to eat more than you should of any particular food. The brain switches off the 'starvation warning' button.
why?
She does not like change. She has been unhappy with my hubby since before we left Florida back in 1996 for some unknown reasons. She is still upset that we never came back for a visit over 13 years while we were in Missouri. She hates that we are converting the garage and thinks it will bring down the property values. She thinks the garage should be totally torn down and then all new construction built. Well, according to the engineer and the inspectors, to get the solidness that we have for hurricane safety, we would be spending another $85,000 on top of the $94,000 the house will cost. There is only 1 house in this neighborhood built as solidly as the garage and that's MIL's home. the engineer says that even with a Katrina type hurricane, he cannot see this garage/house going anywhere. According to the original plans for this garage, the rebar posts in the concrete blocks go down about 6-8 feet in the ground.
I think she's just jealous. She has just spent over $100,000 within the last 5-8 years to upgrade her house and still, ours will be safer.
Why does the need to pee intensify by a million when you are trying to unlock the door to your house?
I'm thinking about my computer and possible issues. I had daughter shut it down last night since Adobe Acrobat updated and needed a reboot. Well, when I turned it on this morning, I got the "blue screen of death". Yes, I have Windows Vista. Well after trying twice, I got the same blue screen, so I cut the power, waited 5 minutes, turned the power back on and went into "Safe Mode". Once there, I got the Windows Help and Support pop-up about Safe Mode and chose to do "System Restore". Luckily, the system backed up yesterday at noon. Have done that and restore to that point and all is well so far.
Question now: Do I need to do anything else?
