Neighborly Messages Left On The Garage Doors

Gee, even folks that live in McMansions can have the same problems as those that live in non-McMansion neighborhoods. 

One might think they are escaping a particular social strata and hence problems, by buying a home in a more affluent neighborhood. 

But think again.  Did “Movin’ on up” really occur in this neighborhood?  Where the homeowners obviously let their beloved dogs run amok in the sound department according to the neighbors, who per chance either did not vocalize their complaints adequately prior, or the homeowners did not give due consideration to the neighbors?

Are you a good neighbor?

“Ho Ho Ho, Garbage de Blanco, Shut your f—in dogs up.  Or it’s a lump of coal for u!!”

The analogies with geography are hilarious.  The geography of a woman and a man.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN

  • Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa , half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful!
  • Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe , well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.
  • Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.
  • Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece, gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.
  • Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all conquering past.
  • Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel, has been through war and doesn’t make the same mistakes twice, takes care of business.
  • Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada, self-preserving, but open to meeting new people.
  • After 70, she becomes Tibet , wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages . . . only those with an adventurous spirit and  thirst for spiritual knowledge visit there.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN

  • Between 1 and 70, a man is like Iran …ruled by nuts.

No Digging Before Using The One-Call System

Scorching the earth and self is probably on no one’s wish list.  But it is certainly a possibility.  Never forget that digging in the yard is not innocuous.  Potential Consequences Of Ignoring The One-Call System.  Know what lies below.  Call before you dig.  Each state has a different contact number that can be found in your respective telephone book.  Or internet search engine. 

Go to Puklt to see the images which will emblazon the lesson.  Also at Adam Remer.

Potential Consequences Of Ignoring The One-Call System. 

The guy who did this below and anyone else helping him surely did not survive. You just never know what you are going to find when you go poking around below the surface. I thought we could all learn a little about safety from this dramatic event. Just because you think you are in the “middle of nowhere” does not mean there is not something there. 

The pictures below are a result of a guy using a post hole digger without calling for a “locate” …he hit an underground intra-state cross country natural gas pipe. 

This is what a high pressure gas main is capable of…

Big Dog Consumes Stolen Toy Dog

And this is what happens when a dog-napping occurs.  And the big dog wants to keep it all under wraps.  Until the tummy ache and the x-ray give him up. 

It’s a dog eat dog world at The Metro UK.  Both dogs survived.  Including the mini plastic dog who was rescued via surgical removal.
