You can't park there!!

So, to those of you out there who have at least one bi-polar or psychotic neighbour this is for you.
Now as a disclaimer I want to say that I have no issue with anyone that is afflicted with any of the aforementioned neurological disorders - except for the couple that live on my street.

We have this fence that separates our property from our neighbours, now the fence that is "our fence" is a four or five foot high standard wooden fence. Not the greatest fence but not a terrible fence. At the end of this fence there was another fence, an old chain link fence. It completed about the last 6 feet that separated the driveways.

Now about two weeks ago, I suggested to my wife how I would like to clean that area up and get that old, bent, falling over, dangerous eye-sore of a chain link fence out of there and put up a brand new wooden fence to replace the entire thing. We agreed that it seemed reasonable, and that our neighbour would have no issue with it considering we would be upgrading both properties and to the neighbour's benefit....at no cost to her.

Well, won't that learn us for using common sense and good judgement. Who and the hell do we think we are, walking around with this air of common sense about us......no wonder our very stable neighbour SNAPPED.

Literally she stumbled right off the deep end, and fell right into a very important conversation with those that have the power to rectify....a group of young boys(average age 11). Telling them that she was very upset and that it was her fence that we took down and that the contract this and the frickle frackle that.....oh and then throws in that she would rather deal with me as I am more level headed than my wife.

Now I don't know about you, but that last statement, there after the frickle frackle.....dem's fightin words. At least if you are any red blooded Canadian woman.

So the next day my wife does the honorable and neighbourly thing......starts staking out where the fence should run, making sure that we keep our fence on the "sane" portion of the block as well as on our side of the property line, cause god forbid that the new fence (that did I mention she doesn't have to pay for but will increase her property value) should cross into her land of Narnia or whatever they call it. Although if it was really Narnia, that would be cool.

So then the neighbour decides that she should come out and talk to my wife......what a novel concept!! Now, understand....she did get clearance from the boys....I think....either way, the conversation doesn't go well and the result is the same. We are going to put up a safer, nicer, new fence that will improve both properties at no expense to her. After blogging about it, I can see now why she would be upset, my wife and I truly are presumptuous a**holes that run around improving things and helping people out, that would piss off the Pope himself. Guess perhaps I am the one that forgot to take MY meds.

So ends another happy day of blogging. Stayed tuned for the next episode......someone picks up the garbage that has blown down the street from her house....AGAIN...CAUSE GARBAGE DAY IS THURSDAY NOT SUNDAY NIGHT!!!! ONLY FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS!!

Cheers,
