I am surprised to hear that my neighbor and his girlfriend moved all the way to Minnesota and then to San Diego near Cheri! <br /><br />We lived in a historically black urban residential neighborhood in Seattle, and our neighbor saw himself as an "urban homesteader" living in "Fort Apache" - yes, he really did call Seattle's Central District "Fort Apache." In 1993 when the Rodney King trial caused the LA riots, our neighbor was waiting with barely suppressed glee for the mobs to storm his ratty-ass bungalow. Needless to say, the gracious, settled, older black families that lived on our block ignored him.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-84620703541814988642010-04-22T15:22:06.505-07:002010-04-22T15:22:06.505-07:00That sounds beyond awful and I think I am extremel...That sounds beyond awful and I think I am extremely glad that gun ownership is very restricted in Australia.<br />I am in awe that you still tried to get on with these neighbours. <br />..and what kmkat said: poor afghanistan.Ulrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303376326165829257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-43210455528646495932010-04-22T10:52:03.040-07:002010-04-22T10:52:03.040-07:00Small dicked bitch.

Stereo blasting? Check. TV up at max volume? Check. Screaming baby? Check. Adults arguing? Check again. Now- it was also all at the same time most nights. Learned lots of new insulting phrases...<br /><br />One night we called the police- the woman screamed and screamed and screamed at that poor police officer. Cuffing her, hauling her struggling self down the stairs, and directing her into the back of the squad car did not reduce the screaming. Even when the car door slammed, we (laying on our stomachs, peering through the smallest window crack for fear of being seen) could still hear her.<br /><br />Oh, the headache she must have had. We slept soundly that night.Kristennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-20266137157951185412010-04-21T11:32:54.052-07:002010-04-21T11:32:54.052-07:00You had to have rats - to feed the snake.
