UPDATE: IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!!

I haven't been on TC for ages because I've been busy battling with those crappy neighbors. They have now dragged in my surrounding neighbors. They decided to take their hating up a notch. I have had the city code enforcement, animal control enforcement, sheriff and neighborhood watch called on me countless times. I have to endure visits from them all to follow through on the bogus calls!

Apparently, my palapa is border line illegal. Thanks to neighbor across the street (Mr BitterChips)I may have to destroy the entire thing due to code/permit errors. He's a semiretired Realtor selling a house 4 doors down. He thinks it looks unsafe.

The Peeper (directly next door) calls the police whenever the RV and dirt bikes/boats are parked on the street out front before/after trip pack ups/clean outs. I can't park ANYTHING on the curb! I get back from the River at 2 AM and I'm not allowed to leave the rig on the curb until storage opens?! Thanks wanker!

The Asshole, directly behind me, decides to come visit at 10 PM when I'm home alone and tell me I'm a crazy bitch (still not clear why, but I think it had something to do with my daughter's 16th birthday party.)He and his girlfriend just stood there yelling like lobotomized tards on my porch, ignoring my repeated requests to leave my property...from behind a closed front door. So I called 911 because he was just pounding on the door and yelling! Scared the poopoo right out of me! So he responds by calling the police a few days latter and telling them he thinks the residents of (our house) the next door neighbors are a security risk. So I get a visit from HOMELAND SECURITY!!!! My Ex is an Army Ops and, thank God, was the one that received my case!! He actually came in handy for once and wrote it off as a retaliation call. But now we're on the radar w/ Big Bro. Like we thought we weren't before?

The recent one is Asshole, Peeper and BitterChips are trying to get video of our dogs barking. They have all signed an intent to sue for excessive barking. I take my dogs everywhere with me, so I have no doubt that they will end up with hours of quiet back yard tape.

AND...we have to take apart the pirate ship wreck we built over the pool pump equipment because it doesn't conform to original specs. This was discovered during the palapa complaint/inspection. All that time and money, not to mention a cool ship...gone.

The city has told us they are looking into the possibility that using thatch on a patio covering could be outlawed due to the fear it would be a fire hazard (even though it's treated per code!), used for a temp dwelling, or viewed as an undesirable look associated with Third World countries barrio-type housing (?!). The banana trees are too tall. The vines are too thick. Mined you, I do not live in an HOA! I now believe the chick from the city is riding tall on her high horse and in cahoots with the 3 tards.

We can't leave the house in the evenings for a night out...the kids get harassed by Peeper's kids and I'm afraid one of them will call Child Protection Services! Or they call Animal Control for the dogs barking INSIDE the house and state they've been doing so for so long "they were worried they'd been abandoned by the owners"!! We drove away once and parked on another block and snuck up behind the house through the school yard (cattywampus to our property) and saw them all congregating out front. They had a video camera and regular camera's and were taking pix of the front yard and house! There was nothing wrong, except some ongoing re-landscaping, so I have no clue what they were doing. We popped out the front door, much to their shock, and they all scattered.

I am so tired of all of this that we are seriously considering moving to the middle of no where and scraping all human contact! I am at my wit's end as to what to do next! You would think we were the biggest ass holes to warrant such behavior from these people, but honestly, we are very quiet and keep to ourselves! We have no parties, loud music, crazy front landscaping/colors...etc.

I think this all started when we had our pool built and put in the exotic decor. One of Peeper's turds asked my daughter if she thought she was "hot stuff" (yes, that was the actual terminolgy he used-sounds like he heard that one from his folks) because we had a pool and dirt bikes and boats and thought we were rich (?). My daughter replied, "Just because someone gets something you don't have doesn't make them richer than you. It just means they are willing to work harder to pay for it." His Mom once told me he's upset that my daughter and him aren't as close as they were when they were in elementary together. She thinks he has a crush on her. She wouldn't give him the time of day, so he does the typical thing of being mean to her. She's popular, outgoing and social. He lives under a rock, shuns all things social and regularly puts down everyone. His parents treat him like he could beat Jesus at anything. Is this all just retribution for a social snub?

Thanks for letting me vent/blog. Anyone want to trade houses?
