How Well Do You Know Your Neighbours?

You're the stuff Hollywood movies are made of.

Nietzsche is dead... go figure

Genesis 1

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Yes... The chicken still came first

Did you see the last movie they did on me?

"Cool Hand Avidan"!

I will, if they eat my pancakes, and stop parking in front of my house. I pay to have it plowed. And I asked many times, and I said "please".

Also, I pray for them.

Yeah, bro...I'm with you there. I just had a bad experience with a vender doing work on our house. We hired him because he was a brother in Christ. We paid him but he hasn't shown up to do the work for 8 weeks.

Finally, I did a difficult thing: I loosed my husband on him (that's like loosing a pit bull). THAT got action.

I've learned that when a woman tries to get folks to shape up, they ignore her (me). When you get the man to take over, things finally get done.

My husband has a way of getting people to pay attention.

Oh, and....I also prayed for this brother in Christ. It's right to pray for people who wrong you.

I have the same problem with mechanics and electricians. These are the times when I wish that my husband was a pit bull. Problems are like water off a ducks back with him. If its' serious, I trot down to see my brother in the Lord Owen who will go in and barrel them out.

Avidan, I see you like photography. Maybe you could take a couple of photos and take it down to your local council, along with your plow account. Or you could turn a photo into a christmas card and send it to your neighbour? with a caption something like 'thinking of you this christmas. You are in our prayers' I'm worried that your situation may turn ugly - what goes around comes around -tit for tat. Being a peacekeeper doesn't mean your weak.

I have them all convinced I am "certified" nuts. They fear me know.

"If you cannot get them to love you, get them to fear you". So sad.

But effective.

You're a hoot, Avidan....

man! i have been laughing like crazy while reading this thread

well, my neighbour to the right....i watch his cats when he is away and i get to choose any movie i want...he has like a room full of em. and he has the weirdest cats ever....they are probably like a million years old or something. my neightbour to the left....well...i dont know ....i have never actually talked to them. i think they are from the phillipines and the granny does baby sitting. i hardly have ever spoken to them but i think mom got them to babysit my sister once.

we kinda dont see most of our neighbours during winter (for obvious reasons of not wanting to freeze for conversations sake). i have thought about doing a "getting to know each other" thing like another poster mentioned but only with the kids. i dont know how well that will go. i am quite hesitant. i will try after finals....maybe shine Christs light for a change around this area

did i mention how funny some of the posts were? o my tummy.....

Peaches , one thing about Worthy (and why I've been here for a million years now), is I love the people here...they're like a family.

They've already seen me at my best and at my worst. So, we're definitely like family. They've watched me grow and I've watched them grow.

I've seen some who began as little ones and are showing such full-faith maturity, it's like I'm seeing them anew. It's neat watching my brethren grow and mature in Christ.

We just keep on growing.

The real beauty is staying friends through some really tough times...and I really love these people here. They're all very special to me...each in his/her own way.
