love Jackie, too! And I completely get the midnight noisy neighbours issue.
Oh boy, well, if loud business men, and pot isn't bad enough, when I stayed in NYC, we had young neighbours that we could hear each night well after midnight, if not 2-3am... expressing their love to one another... Well, she was putting on a performance... there was no way she was for real.
Anyway, this went on for 2 nights, then on the third night, they got home and it actually became violent, like, they were having a punch up. Screaming, yelling, crying, definite sounds of things and/or people being thrown around the room.
I called security as quietly as I could so that I didn't get heard and abused myself. I told them a girl and her partner were in a physical altercation and to send security immediately, I was quite worried for her (sexist, I know, but she was the one screaming bloody murder) and it took them at least 15 minutes to get there. I was beside myself, petrified for myself and Leigh as well as the girl.
Security left and it went quiet, for a while, then the arguing started again, not as loudly, and just arguing, or at least, I didn't hear them fighting physically anymore.
And lo and behold, the next night... back to loving each other... loudly... obnoxiously... vomit inducingly.
That was my first exposure to pot. Not what I expected to find in my hotel room.
Oh Kathy!!! You're gorgeous! I respect this so much!
