Hey, were you the poster who referenced the lid? Do they still call them roach clips?!

No - I wasn't cause I have no idea what you are talking about......
I don't think they are still called that - but I remember when I used to get them with the long feathers attached at the fairs and I'd wear them in my hair and my parents would cringe

Default Update

Neighbor still over there.

Tonight, I'm outside and he arrives home.

Me: "Good Evening."
Him: "Evening, how are you?"
Me: "Good."
Him: "Did you watch the game?"
Me: "Always. Love football."
Him: "My name is _______."
Me: "I know, you introduced yourself to me a couple weeks ago."
Him: "Now, I remember. What is your name?"
Me: "_________________."
Him: "I understand you work for (insert police department here.)
Me: (pissed) Yes.
Him: "Well I'm ________ and I don't want any problems."
Me: "Good."
Him: "You spend a lot of time by yourself."
Me: "It's a preference."
Him: "Me too (BS). I like life quiet."
Me: "Well, you've picked the right street for it."
Him: "Definitely."
Me: "Have a good night."
Him: "You too, nice to meet you."


So we can establish that the night he talked to the back of my head he was drunk. And obviously, someone has told him that I am connected. Darn you gossipy neighbors!

No chance asking him about the pillow now....he was probably too drunk to remember.

Looking forward to showing him good neighbor 101; sidewalk shoveling...you shovel all you can, when you can and then some.

I wouldn't have even givin him an opening for conversation by saying Good Evening! He knows you're connected! Let him SQUIRM!

But I guess you're a friendlier neighbor than I would have been under the circumstances. No word on the pillow, hmm?

Get some of your police dept buddies to pose as dates, but about 1:30am every date night shoot your gun full of blanks at your buddy right in front of the window, then at 2:00 am pull a trashbag full of whatever out your front door to the trunk of your car. Start asking him to go out!

The problem with that is....as he passes on the sidewalk, he's like 4 feet away from me.....really weird not saying hello.

I should have put my nose in the air and stomped in the house like a three year old, lol.

That is funny....

but I'm stuck on "buddies to pose as dates".. I am saddened at the necessity of that statement, ha!

Better yet... sit outside on the curb of your street wearing one of those big cardboard signs "Have you seen my pillow" with this really forlorn look on your face. . . or "will work for pillows" when he comes by. That oughta do it!
