Exactly wrong. I'd tell the gal, 'me or the cat'. Let her decide.

Here are 2 methods I don't recommend:
One real estate agent (in CA I think) got mad at another and ran an ad on Craigslist. It gave an address and said they were remodelling the house and needed to gut it. Come by and remove anything you want, but don't destroy anything. It was the address of an empty house the other realtor owned. Many showed up and picked the house empty. Another in Miami posted an ad pretending to be a hooker. He included the phone number of a competing agent. |

People move next to a firing range and complain about the noise and safety issues. People move next to a railroad track and complain about the trains. Many years ago, a group at the end of an LAX runway complained about the increased traffic, especially at night. They got vocal. Then they got demonstrative. Then they went to the county board and state legislature. But they forgot something. LAX is an autonomous state agency. LAX condemned all the homes in the subdivision under imminent domain, bulldozed the houses, and extended the runway. Plus they announced the same thing would happen to any other wisenheimers who dared mess with them. Case over. |

Anybody who moves into a house next door to a barking dog is similar to the tarts who claimed "victimhood." If your neighbor deploys a barking dog outdoors after you move in, how is that your fault? What if a neighbor moves in after you move in and he has a dog that he likes to put out for the night? (Putting a dog out for the night [or any other long period] is wrong to do to pack animals that have a genetic psychological need to be with "their people" - whether 4-legged or 2-legged. I think there should be laws against putting dogs out for the night, especially against putting a dog out alone for the night.) Meanwhile, groping women like what occurred at the Tailhook incident is wrong. Sailors who uncontrollably grope women when drunk need to drink less at high profile parties or to not attend high profile parties. Sailors that can control themselves better need to do so or else not attend high profile parties. - Don Klipstein ) |

The shooter's not the problem. It's your problem. You're really fussy about the safety of your kids, so you should install bullet-resistant windows. Your point's well taken. Fortunately, there's a solution: The bathtub. Usually the tub's made of cast iron and will stop a bullet. This little trick is well known to the mothers who live in the 'hood. Ever hit a tub with a sledge hammer? Maybe it'll stop the first bullet, but I wouldn't count on anything after that. Usually stopping one bullet is sufficient: most gang-bangers aren't too good a shot. I don't mean to start a new thread based on a contrary example, but if somebody puts a shot through my window, I shoot back. You can't go wrong following the rule: "He who puts the most metal in the air usually wins." Then I'll just throw my anvil. |

"Rudy" wrote in message news:kXy9k.58806$gc5.30533@pd7urf2no... says he can't sleep: two bushy-tailed dogs that bark and howl all night. One neighbor decided to leave town for a long weekend and put the dog in the backyard to fend for itself. I presume someone was to come over and feed it. After the first night and most of the next day of BARK BARK BARK, I went over into the yard and grabbed the dog..took it over to their "dog door" which had been blocked by something inside..rammed it OPEN and shoved the dog INSIDE and blocked it from the outside. I hope the AH had a lot of dog crap in there to clean up when he got home. He never tried that again. LOL Now that's a good one Tony |

Jail the bad neighbor. Send the dog with someone who will take care of it.

Bad neighbor solution=Rap...
Assuming animal control is no longer an option. I recommend the OP
explore the world of rap music. If the neighbor is as red neckish as they sound, you should be able to get very far under their skin with the proper rap tunes cranked up very loud at strategic hours. I'd say get to know the neighbor's hot buttons. We know yours- losing sleep at the hands of barking dogs. If you think rap music will work I recommend you try Foxy Brown. She has some filthy stuff out there. But you've got to get the uncensored stuff. On track 14 of the album I've used at times the reprise is "I'm a mothua ****ing bitch.." I can't tell you how many nosey neighbors I've 'fixed' with this track.. If that wont work, check out where the prevailing wind is coming from. Is the wind blowing from your property to theirs? I had a home where the wind came from one direction most of the time (the ocean). So, I used to park my 2 stroke scooter (a lawn mower may also work just as well) next to the property line, lined up with their big sliding glass doors of their patio. I'd leave that sucker running as long as necessary to drive home my point.. No matter what, people have to breathe.. |

(at least where I used to live) Been there, done that. They would come out and talk to the people but also told me there was nothing they could do. Told me to call animal control to see if the dogs were being abused. I also had a damn rooster next door that would start crowing at 6am on the dot until 7am, the time I had to get up for work. Needless to say I got little sleep when I lived in that house. Thank god it was a rental! YOU could adapt to the situation. Get up at 6. This also has the benefit of giving YOU some REAL morning. |
