Mud in their snow! How thoughtless of me!

It's so nice to start seeing people again......like the spring flowers starting to pop out....so do our neighbors. Boy, do I have an "unusual" neighbor story to share with you. . .

While on vacation, my friend and I were walking on a sunny day with just a little snow left on the ground. We crossed a field and got mud on our mukluks and chose a nice snowy hill to wipe our feet off. You know how great that works for mud.......well, a few seconds later, out pops a little head and a "how you girls doin?"  My friend says "fine" and I keep cleanin'....next thing we hear "^%$^&$# you girls, now your'e going to get mud in my yard!!%&*^&$$" and he ran us off. 

It was really something......normally people are so nice this time of year....like being reborn again and coming out of a cacoon. I'm still shaking my head at being greeted like this. Yes the world is full of us.....but have any of your little neighbor buds spouted out in such a manner? I certainly hope not....but then again, I'd sure like to know?

Love to hear your "good" neighbor stories! (Or not so good - as the case was here!)

Jyl, that is too bizarre!
didyou go egg his house yet? haha

My neighbor feeds the
squirells and birds with their dinner leftovers everynight. I mean spagetti, mashed potatoes, you name it, the food pile is there. Well, my dog is getting fatter and fatter because he eats her pile of leftovers. I have asked her to Stop or move the pile somewhere else but she refuses. Talk about a mess. She even puts strawberry shortcake out there!! kooky neighbor stories...I'm sure we will get some great ones!!
04/04/2008 7:30PM
haha! That is crazy Jyl
I can't get over that! My neighbors aren't that meticulous thankfully, but we have an old man who always comes over for coffee. he is lonely, and no matter what time of day, there he is with his mug knocking on my door. At least he's nice though. Mud in the yard is so out there!! keep up smiling always. Love to you all at wycd!

we have a junk yard
on our street. One of our neighbors is a slob and a half! he has 3 doors on his front porch. Just a mess of a yard. I feel like I'm watching Sanford and Son only it's my life. Can't wait for summer...and bring on the mud! tee hee
04/04/2008 9:46PM
my neighbor smashed
into my garbage can and broke off a piece of a car. The garbage flew all over the yard and I can't fit a new can in my teeny car. My neighbors gray car is smashed and he won't admit he did it. He's a real creep! Aren't we all so lucky? I'm gladwe have each other to vent too! Love the Wingers
04/04/2008 10:50PM
Jyl, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
You got mud on his snow! Wow, for shame! Just think of how boring life would be without such colorful people in this world! He is probably lonely and was just jealous that you had a friend to walk with. Or maybe he is more "Monkish" than most! Better luck to you next time! Thanks for the tee hee! Nanny

Taylor neighbors rock!!
My neighbors, all of them, are so cool. In fact, they want to come to Birmingham and kick that guys butt for yelling at you and your friend. How could anybody yell at our jylly? That just isn't right! Jyl, you should move to Taylor. We'd let you bring mud in our yard anyday of the week. Hoedown can't wait to see you guys. lauren and will and the doggy kids too

too much snow
I have a nightmare for a neighbour that I have even considered moving and taking a loss on my house just to get away from her profanity and crazy antics. She yes she went out at 10:00pm at night to shovel the snow back on my driveway and behind my car that I just had my son remove because it was on her snow pile "her property" along the side of my driveway! She even wrote profanity in the snow! for real I took a picture "I couldn't believe it. I have ignored her strange behaviour for more than a year, tried to be extremely polite and wish her a great day. I am at a loss how to handle her nothing works and she still continues. Help!

whoa! Just read the person
who wrote before me about the crazy antics neighbor. That is truly sad that you have to live close to such a pathetic person. My heart feels for you. I am a long long time listener of Jyls and am back in the US from London. I got married and came home for a visit, all excited to hear Jyl on the radio and YOU are on vacation. What a bummer. I'm going to email you Jyl, this is Teri. I know you remember me. We used to write letters and I came to see you at alot of your events. I am married now and see the Queens castle out of my window. I feel so fortunate to have met such a wonderful man (yeah Jyl, we both finally did!!). next time I'm home I hope to hear you and maybe we can get a cup of tea. I'm anxious to show you my son and to see you again. Of all the things I miss about home, YOU are for sure one of them. I always love you Jyl. God bless you. Teri P.

Hi Jyl.
Your blogs are always hysterical! Hey, are you doing the special olympics charity event this month? You usually do and we are hoping to see you there and play the games with the children and have fun raising money too! I hope you are coming. I'll email you at the station so you can email us back. Your neighbor story is bizarre...mud on his lawn. That is way out there. We still have too many neighbors with Christmas tree lights up and stuff but that at least is not rude...just lazy. Hopefully, now that some nice days are here, they can come down. The folks next door have up lights from Christmas, a Mr and Mrs Peter Cottontail and Easter wreathe, a manger still in the front yard....and yes, pumpkin lights in 2 trees. They are nice folks....but I'd sure like them better if they'd take down the flag that has a big birthday cake on it! hahaha. I should send a picture. People really are comical "aren't we?".....You laugh at yourself Jyl, and I try to do the same! It's good to find the humor in situations. Hoedown, here we come. got any hoedown flags for my neighbors pole? that's like a holiday to us who love it! See you soon. God bless and keep the great blogs coming. Tina in Lala-vonia land!!

thongs and petunias.....
our pretty neighbor lady gardens in bright red lipstick, hip huggers with full view of the bright colored thongs, her money maker er shaker!! blonde dyed curly hair with tons of makeup on. Totally doing a show for the old man who lives next door. In fact his wife encourages her to even garden in her "bikini" because it turns her husband on so much and she loves to see him so happpy!! So she obliges the lady neighbor and bends over and really does a show for him! It's harmless I guess....after reading this blog on neighbors, mine is just cracking me up. How funny all of our little neighborhoods are. We must be the only sane ones! har har yeah right! thanks for the great music, we love WYCD like family!
04/06/2008 1:33AM
junk mail
my neighbor puts all of his in our mailbox everyday! My wife and I have left him kind notes asking him please NOT to do that because we get a whole bunch of it as it is. He simply ignores our requests. There are a string of 5 mailboxes in a row, and he doesn't even spread it out with the others. Just us! any suggestions? Thanks. Phil and Andi in Farmington

cats eating my birds :o(
even though my neighbors have bells on their cats collars they are still killing my birds. My kids love feeding the birds and naming them. we bought binoculars and have loved being birders. But now the cats stalk our birds who are just easy prey to get killed. I have nothing against cats, but something has to be done about the killing of birds. Is it safe to declaw cats? We are not cat people so don't have the answers. If you WYCD bloggers could help with this horrible problem, I'm sure many people like us who love feeding birds and watching them, would be so greatful. It's not fair for so many birds to be killed for no reason. The cats kill just to kill. My 4 year old is truly traumatized. Even my tough little 6 year old boy has fought back the tears one time too many. Please help keep the birds alive.

saw a couple walking
their 3 kids today on leashes in my neighborhood. That struck a wrong cord in me. Does anyone else think leashes are for your dogs, not your children? I am still shaking my headd on this sight today.
04/06/2008 8:59PM
listen, hitting a childs bottom
with their pants down is what my family and I witnessed this afternoon. Jyl, I instantly thought of your blog. This little boy was screaming....have no clue what he did, but my little girls were crying watching his dad pull down his pants and spank him in the front yard. I'll talk the "Mud looney tune" over this violent creep any day of the week. I know how you feel about violence Jyl and I'm sure you would too. Isn't this so unbelieveable in this day and age someone would do that to their precious child? We are just flabergasthed! Group hug anyone?
04/06/2008 9:11PM
Hi it's Jyl...WOW....what
neighbor stories. I'm pretty amazed at some of these. I swear, I'd love to get a big farm of like minded people and have our own great subdivision of kind, fun, willing to pull their weight and treat each others children with the love and respect they deserve. Animals too. A community of friendship and people looking out for each other would be so ideal. I know someday we will find it. At least I have so much gratitude for the nice people I meet daily and talk to with you that call in share yourselves with us. Even on casino nights, Monday at Motor City, the sweetest people stop by to visit. Mostly, I belive people are good, but boy the mean ones sure are hard to shrug off. I'm still tring to learn how to do that instead of taking what they say and do to heart. My next blog is about my 5 dogs and their new summer hair cuts. Yes, I do my own grooming. Yes, I have the blisters to show for it, but at least they are with me and I know not being harmed in anyway. I love you all....please, if you have any other neighbor news, please share....or share anything going on. I always enjoy hearing from you. either here or by calling the request line! big hugs and love! Jyl

my neighbors blast
the WRONG station all weekend long. I gotta get em to switch to my kind of music on 99.5 wycd. Or get a louder boom box!
04/08/2008 1:26PM
my neighbor
cleans the road with a broom every day. She is from Europe and apparently they sweep the streets. She amazes us! Hope she keeps it up!
04/08/2008 1:35PM
stinky diapers
my neighbors leave stinky diapers in an open trash can all week until garbage day. In the cold it's OK..but now that it's thawing outside. PU. I want to like that little guy but every sunny day when I smell him all day, it's getting kind of hard. Stinky in Novi

04/08/2008 5:23PM
what a laugh before I leave
work. Mud on the yard...how silly! He should listen to 99.5 and try and win the 10 grand and take a trip to lala land! That guy needs a sense of humor or enema! haha...I'm outta here to feed the kids and relax and listen to 99.5 on my way home. Love ya all. Linda and the kids in Rochester Hills
04/08/2008 6:58PM

Neighbors, how rude
Actually, my neighbor upstairs stomps on the floor whenever I come home. He tells me to close my windows, he's cold. What a moron. Get a life
04/08/2008 11:17PM
