LOL I'd like to do that to my neighbors!!
Calm down MG, Remember the Golden Rule..."Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You". Although in your case we may need to edit a bit, how about, "Do Unto Others Before They Do It Unto You"
and remember,
and remember,
HA! You wanna love my neighbors you can have them!!! Hmmmm....I really should see if I have something to burn today....the wind is towards their house.....and I really should make the pile about 10' from his pine trees...... 
They say the older antifreeze will kill anything and Supposabley not leave any trace. Not a recommendation, but something to think about.
My spelling is atrocious today. I'm with you Mory, we need a spell checker.

Jake - pine trees or neighbors?
Better watch it - the anti-terrorism squad might get you!
Happy Easter to all my Christian forum friends...Happy Holiday to the rest!
Happy Easter to you Mrs M.
I'm just hoping for a uneventful one.

Cool!!
I might have a hard time not going into lowes tho. I do love their garden center!!
I figured everything was closed today. We tried to go shopping on Easter a few years ago and not one thing was open. Not even WalMart!!

Walmart is about the only thing closed here! Kmart is open..groceries..lumber yards..!
Oh, yes, I love to go to Home Depot and Lowes! I just like to wander around and see what is new, but Alexis fell asleep on the way down so I am staying with her.
Happy holidays everyone!
Mrs. M.... I swear, when they come out with implantable internet access devices you are going to be first in line!
Waaah
I work from 2pm till around 9pm today and it's supposed to be almost 80 degrees here! Of course, rain is predicted for my days off! I guess I'll be pale for a few more months, unless I decide to brave the 60 degree overcast days at my favorite 'clothing optional' beach (no, that never seems to burn, although my bum got a little toasty last year and I had trouble sitting for a couple of days!)

Lol, have you heard when it will be here? I have just the spot to implant it...ooo...well, if I am going to that beach, I better be selective wher I implant it!
BTW, to whom it may concern...

If you want a good read, find a copy of 'True Names' by Vernor Vinge. One of those early sci-fi works that comes surprisingly close to reality/possible future reality.

You know a lot of things that were sci-fi are now reality!
I'm still waiting for H.G. Wells, 'The Time Machine' to become reality ... and praying that the stuff H. P. Lovecraft wrote never does!
I don't think I have enough time left to worry about it!
heh, I went out in my yard today to clean off some flower beds......there was a little breeze going towards my bad neighbors house.....he was on the deck with the other bad neighbors.....heh hehe. (need smiley with devil horns here)
I decided that the only way he might learn how irritating it is to have your nice day ruined by smoke is to give him a lesson.....so I strategicaly (sp?) placed my pile and lit it....and fanned it a little....heheheh....and added a few corncobs for good heat.....and hehheheh "oopsie" the smoke went right over to his deck. Then it got better. I thought they went inside but they got into the hot tub beside the deck.....ehehhhehe ....not for long. Must have been a little "irritating" to have that smoke right in their faces. I don't know why they didn't stay in there very long.Especially when hubby got a damp pile of yard waste and put on top and the smoke really rolled out.
Now, I must say that I could have been alot closer like he did to me. He was at the lot line, my pile was an acre away. And his pile was about 4 foot deep and 6 foot across. Mine wasn't even knee high. We'll see if he needs another lesson. Might have to get closer!
He proly didn't get it. Kinda slow in that area.

MG, that is funny! Hope I always stay on your "good side"!! LOL!
Mrs.M, of course you will! You know how us Virgo's are!! heheh And since my birthday is the same day as your daughters, I think Mrs. Mom when I type. You're proly no where near as old as my mom tho....let's see she's.....77 in June. What year was your daughter born?
I have a neighbor who has made a
race tract for his kids go carts
around his acres and along my west fence. When the wind is South I don't hear them but when it's North they sound like there in my lap. She just had her 4th boy so I figure I better get used to it for the next 10 years =long after I'm gone. I'll go along with it until the neighbors show up at the track. With their carts.

Mory, sounds like you have the same neighbors!
Neighbours - a word of caution To MGintern and others about to start a war - it can be expensive!
I returned home one day to find our hedge had been demolished with a chain saw and a ditch dug over the driveway (we share an entrance way). Needless to say, reasoning did not work and we resorted to solicitors. $3000 worth of letters later my solicitor said - we have him, now take him to Court! A little warning bulb glowed and I told my sorry tale to one of my customers, who happened to be a QC (fairly high up the Barrister tree) and he gave me a few words of wisdom which I pass on:
Paul, he said, the law favours the very rich and the very poor and you are neither. Leave him alone!
I did, and two years later he moved. We now have wonderful friendly neighbours.
So MGintern, don't provoke a fight - just encourage them to leave! Have you ever thought of car dismantling? Can make a nice garden look really dreadful! Alternatively, my cousin got rid of both her troublesome neighbours by buying a peacock - wonderful to look at, but very, very noisy!

Mg, she was born in 1959.
I don't like to fight with anybody about anything! Life is so short. I think sometimes we need to sit back, take a deep breath, and decide what really is important. As I said, life is so short...and do we know, really know, just how short?

Awwww Camera Collector, MG was just blowing smoke
Heh, well, I guess we all have to decide how to deal with our stresses. I honestly think these people are kinda stupid. Now that might sound mean, but if it's true then that's the way it is! There is no common sense there at all. And this is the first time I've given them some of their own treatment after 7 years of it, so I think I waited long enough. Talking doesn't work for these "dummies" 
One of my other neighbors just rolls his eyes at them and says he can't believe they can be so self centered.
Anywayyyyy, we'll see if a dose of their own medicine does any good. They'll be sorry if I have to release my "swiss" on them. It's not pretty!!! Really, I'm a very private, quiet, stick to my own business person. I don't like to fight either.
Heh, thanks for the backup BJ.
Mrs.M, she's exactly one year younger than me! Pretty close!!

MG, well, then her brother is your age..they were 10 months apart!
Mg, you know what they say about walking in your shoes....we aren't.

Pretty birds, but very vocal!
Well, when I think of the mess my daughter's Macaw makes, I can't imagine what a peacock does! EWWWWWWWWWW!!

Heh, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I thought about that a while back and it kinda scared me. I remembered how hard it was to put my kids on the bus the first time, I thought it was so scarey and dangerous for them. And then Prom, and dates in general. As the years went on it kept getting to bigger things...my oldest son joining the Air Force and spending his first year in Iceland. My daughter moving away with a guy I didn't like. (and marrying him ..uggg). Then my youngest and all his rebellions in school and at home. He's the "vocal" one and let me know the older ones being grumpy and quiet were actually better! Then he joined the Army, and sending him off to boot camp was sooo hard....I thought. He came home for Christmas from boot camp and I watched his girlfriend of 4 years blow him off with an engagement ring in his hand. And I took him back to the airport, and stood there with tears in my eyes as he left to go back to SC. And it was sooo hard....I thought. And then, he went to war, and my heart broke. He came home for leave which was wonderful, but then I had to take him to the airport and send him back to war again....and it was the hardest yet. OMG, I just don't want any more of these tests. Please God, please. I don't know where he is right now, I only hope he's safe and ok.
BUT! I have a pretty baby grandbaby and that's a good thing. I have to go see her tomorrow and enjoy the time she's safe and easy.
When I had three in diapers at once, then four kindergarten and below, then six in school at once, seven altogether (from age 18 to newborn),I thought things would get easier when they got older. It has in many ways -- I'm not pregnant or nursing, or getting up for feedings in the middle of the night. I don't have a preemie in ICU, or a four month old in trauma with a head injury, or a child in the cardiac ward with a blood clot. But now I have four teenagers, making plans and decisions of life-long importance, plus a newly-engaged son making a career change, plus two married sons who have added daughter-in-laws and grandchildren to the mix.
It was wonderful then and it is wonderful now. I wouldn't trade it for anything! But it's not easier -- just different. They've grown, but I haven't outgrown being a mom.
