Keep hanging the laundry or appease the neighbors

[Sleepy]

Tell her you are just making some fashion suggestions.

Either that or I'm gonna comment on the eight cars parked all over their yard (for 2 people) that I don't think are nice to look at!

Ummm....If they're not on pavement, my city tickets for cars on grass, etc. They even ticket if the car back extends to the sidewalk. You might want to look into your city's requirements.

Oh, it would be on! I would take a huge tractor truck tire, paint it white and use it as a planter in the front yard. Next scatter some used car parts around the house. Put an old couch on the front porch..next to some old appliance - washing machine, dryer, fridge..your pick. Plastic animals would be nice..the more the better - keep it interesting with a mix of deer, ducks and rabbits.

Seriously, I think she had quite the nerve to come over and say that..I would just keep hanging the laundry out, it's none of her business, especially since it's not even in her line of site.

Talking about neighbors..you know the creepy neighbors in the Tom Hanks movie "The Burbs"..I think their name was the Klopeks or something...that is what I have on the left side of my house. The roof looks like it is halfway blown off and they have a second story deck that is about to fall in. And we have yet to see them and we've lived her since December so I think they only come out at night.

I'm glad my neighbors are an acre away in either direction.
Hang your laundry! Park your camper/boat/atv/tractor/ice fishing shack/whatever you have in your back yard! Put up a hot pink flamingo on her side of the house. Leave your Christmas lights up (and turn them on!) all year!

Of course, if you want to make peace with the neighbor, you should get her a present: a length of rope and some clothes pins.

Hang clean laundry on the line.
Air dirty laundry online.

inthese days of "going green", conserving energy, etc. I can't belive she would complain.
what if you chose to replace most of your nicely manicured lawn with a "victory" garden?

Have you seen the lawn ornament where there is a cut out of a woman's backside, like she is bending over working in the garden? She might like to see one of those everyday.

Now there's a good idea!!!!!! I like the way you think.

Keep doing it and if she complains again tell her it is your right and she can put up a fence if she likes.

Tell her you've been negatively affected by the economy and can't afford to dry your clothes in the dryer. Maybe she'll bring you a casserole.

Seriously, it's better for your clothes AND the environment, a win-win. Plus I love how they smell when dried outside, and that noise someone mentioned a few pages back. I love that noise. I haven't heard it since I was a child. Now I want a clothesline!

(although not during pollen season. Yellow clothes would be right up there with yellow snow! LOL)


and....they have EIGHT cars parked in their YARD??? Is that even LEGAL? (it's not here...) and she's worried about clothes hanging for a short time in your back yard?
