Hello everyone. My husband used to post here, before he passed several
years ago. I used to enjoy reading this forum along side of him in the
evenings.

I have a "what would you do" question.

My neighbor has large trees, which overhang our property. During this past
wind storm, several large limbs ended up on my property. I asked him if he
could remove them, so I could cut the lawn. He called me every name in the
book, and told me it's my problem.

I suppose I could hire someone to remove them, but only having a fixed
income, and Arty didn't have life insurance, sure puts a bind on things
around here. I'd move them myself, but at 73, I'm afraid I don't have the
strength to, as it already takes me several days to cut the grass on a city
lot.

What would you do?

Thank you.


Sorry for the loss of your husband. If you belong to a church, someone
from the congregation may be able to help you. I help my neighbors all
the time when I can and my friends at their churches when I can. I'm
sure there must be a GOOD neighbor somewhere around you or a community
service group or even a boyscout troop who would help you. There are
still nice people in this world despite much of the evidence to the
contrary. When we had a tornado come through and devastate the area, a
number of folks started calling in to the local talk radio shows and
offering to help anyone in need. The neighbors were there before FEMA
even woke up. A phone call to The Red Cross or Salvation Army might get
you a contact number for someone who would be glad to help you. ^_^
