I just had to have a conversation with a resident that they make too much noise during sex and they need to move their headboard away from the wall

Want to know what's really funny? I mentioned it at work here. My coworker said that she wished that someone had had that conversation with her neighbors yesterday. :H:H:H

Gee Mama,

Your conversation with the resident doesn't make me miss apartment living. It's always something. I now live in a commercial area where my two neighbors are businesses and I don't miss at all the noisy neighbors and all night parties. I guess these days consideration for others is a lost art, sad you have to have a conversation like that with an adult tenant.

Hope everyone is having a really good day.

Hi all,
Boy, this place is a week day traffic center. Not so much on weekends.

Mama, I hope that cold runs its course soon. I can hear those elephant noises way up here. But not the apartment noises. Never a dull moment, eh?

Paula, I finally finished Pride and Prejudice. Well, skimmed the last 30% at least. It was silly and trivial. How did it ever get to be a classic? I also finished The Secret Garden, and ordered the other popular book this author wrote, The House at Riverton. I will be also soon receiving The Art of Racing in the Rain, which several here have mentioned.

My brother will be visiting this week. Problem is, he never tells me exactly what day he is coming. If he gives me a date, he often comes a day later, and doesn't call to say he will be delayed. But people do what they do, regardless. And he is my brother, so he will be welcomed. We have an Asian Chicken salad and sandwich makings in the refrigerator, for whenever he does arrive. I will work tomorrow, am off as usual Weds, and have requested Thursday off, so I will spend some time with him. Our sister also lives in this area, so we will get together with her. Hubby will stay home and do his own things.

Nora, it sounds like you are taking some mental steps, that is great.

Whew - finally home. Long day at work today. But, I would rather it be like this and take the weekends off anyway.

Scott is still feeling miserable with his cold. Really sorry for you Mama since you're so sick too.

Dixon - good to see you here. Yep - we get a little crazy sometimes. :H

Allswell - how are you doing? You sound good! We used to live in an apartment and I didn't like the noise. Hubby told me a story about when he was living in an apartment with his parents and the neighbors must have been too loud (sex). His Mom yelled out the window to them to be quiet...that they could hear them down here. (I guess the woman laughed )

Sun - I loved the book 'The Art of Racing in the Rain'. I hope that you enjoy it. I just started reading 'The Prince of Tides' and someone just loaned me 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. Enjoy your brother whenever he arrives. Thanks for all your advice regarding the mental aspect of all of this. I am not there yet but I'm really trying to change my thoughts on this whole subject. :h

Well - think I'm going to read for a bit. Be back later. :l

Nora, the Dragon Tatoo books are some of the best I have ever read. You WILL HAVE to read all three.

[mama bear]

One Step at a Time - August 2012

I saw one of the Dragon movies and thought it was horrible.....guess I need to re-think that one
The Prince Of Tides is fabulous. I downloded "Gone Girl" based on some recommendations from here'
Nora.....I think it's ALL mental babe. Don't mean to trivialize, but it is...once we get past the physical part.
Like this morning....I feel crappy and tired. Hubs kept me up half the night coughing. I woke up pissy and decided I was going to have a good day...no matter what. We can wallow in life or grab it by the horns and ROCK IT..................with NO BOOZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok...enuf Dr Phil from me
off to find coffee and then to the makeup mirror to paint on my happy face
I love you all to bits

Morning Steppers!!!

Mama - I do ty very hard to live positively and be optimistic. I love your line that we wallow in it or ROCK IT. I prefer to rock it. :l (PS - I see that you hit 30 days again!!! Way to go :h)

Sun - Thanks about the Dragon book tip. I was hoping that it was good.

Ok - my motivational speech now:
I don't want to be here at work either. :H:H:H

I don't want to be at work either!!!! Let's all leave! :H

So you guys know how I was trying to get a job at the Jail? (Which I still haven't heard about, but I DID pass the test)...well a job at the Library opened up and I applied for that one too. Now that's a wide spectrum...either working in the jail or the library. LOL I don't know how I'd do in the library, I am way too loud sometimes...which brings me to a question for Mama, how did your tenants take the news that they need to tone down their nocturnal activities? LOL

Jeez, I remember back in my heyday I would have been the cause of the complaints...but now....I don't think it's possible to READ too loud is it? HAHA

Ok...I'm gonna pretend to work for a while then I'll be back.

Love ya peeps!
