Men's Night Out September 2013! What day of the week is best for the Men? (Friday Sept 13 or 27, Wednesday night Sept 11)...OR shall we wait until October (keeping in mind that Fall break is 2 weeks Oct 7-18)

You've got some weird ass neighbors.

If you haven't already paid could those taking part in the garage sale drop off the $4.60. I paid the $41 last week for the ad in The Republic.

I really hope the owner of the dog that left its poop in my garden come back to clean it. I was willing to attach a picture of it but it is really disgusting ! Please come to clean this mess. Thanks.

Hello Neighbors, please honor the speed limits posted in our community. With the cold temps and wet roads, black ice is forming on the roads and driveways. Please help keep our kids, pets, joggers and walkers safe. Thanks.

NOBODY does 15MPH. NOBODY!

Thanks Scott. It's an important reminder. The posted limit is 15.

I've inquired about new speed limit signs, will post details soon once I hear back

Also, we are checking with the city to see if it is possible to temporarily get one of those electronic signs that indicate your speed. That might help at least for a while.

Good morning! I had to call and have our trash picked up because it was missed and she asked if we had it out by 6am because the route in our neighborhood was changed. We always have ours out early but I have never seen the truck come before 10am. I thought everyone would like to know they changed the routes to much earlier because we saw several cans that were missed.

The banging in the morning from this construction is driving me insane. May have to get earplugs. Smh

Since school has started back up, both my wife and I have noticed a disturbing trend of children waiting for the bus who behave in a reckless manner near the street. We have both watched a boy who HAS seen us approaching, and has decided that this is the perfect time to dart across the street. I'm all for making sure people follow the speed limit (yes, this is coming from the guy who has the "I am the Stig" stickers on his Subaru, but I drive the speed limit in the neighborhood), but NO street is ever completely safe if children don't realize the danger. I was taught to recognize the dangers of the street as a kid and not to expect everyone to watch. All I ask is that your kids are either educated to behave appropriately or are supervised. A lot already are, but I want to make sure we do everything we can to keep the neighborhood streets safe.

The legal speed limit is 25mph. They had 15mph signs made. It's nearly impossible to go 15 and I've never seen anybody follow that limit. I'm always around 20 which is hard enough but these people bitching don't do 15 either so they should just STFU.

School buses come through this division at about 40.

These people are nuts. Our HOA put out a letter asking residents to clean up after your dog shits or urinates. Who cleans up dog urine and who is the whiny bitch complaining about it? Sheesh people, get a fucking life. 1st world problems.

They tried getting cops involved but the legal limit is 25mph, not 15mph. They are making up their own rules in the division.

Again, I have never been called out for going too fast, I do about the average which is around 20. Nobody does 15.

Just sayin :0008

And the speed limit really wasn't my point, it's the bitching these people do constantly. All people do is bitch anymore.

There are plenty of senior communities out there. You guys don't need to worry about kids fucking your shit up, or getting in the way.

Ah, but then you would crab about the old farts!

but when I move all 25-55 year old smart asses would have nobody to go to everytime the needed someone to watch the dogs for a week while they are on vacation.

furthermore if my old ass moves 99% of them would have to start going to the" rent a center" for tools .

and since 80% of them can't fix a drip in the shower faucet or do any kind of house repair they would have to hire someone instead of asking the old crab ass ..

then when their lawn mowers break down or their sad ass leaf blower quits they could knock on old crab ass door to borrow his or better yet have him clean the carb on their never maintained shit.

then when I return their 4 year old to their house because he thought he could ride his new battery operated "Truck" around the block ...the "New Wave" can apologize for having the nose stuck in the friggin phone texting about the pressure of the right makeup and parenthood..

Ya shit out of luck without us..

So, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't? Can't live with 'em, but can't live with out 'em?

Here's the thing. "Fixing shit" isn't something that came and went with your generation. Civilization isn't going to die off when you tip over. My dad was older than you, and wasn't worth a pinch of shit at fixin' stuff. His dad could do almost anything! But, there are always guys who can do stuff, and guys who can't. Always.

I went down to see my buddy at his bar today, and there were 5 bikers in there. Mostly young guys. I listened to these guys talk, and all of them were in the trades. An old guy walked in. Looked about 80. Said his battery died and he needed a jump. The youngest looking of the bikers hopped off his bar stool and said, "Let's get you up and going again". He helped the man on his way, and that was that. Pretty nice of him. I'll even bet this was the first mention of it on social media.

So, it's always great to have guys like you who can get the job done, but if everyone did their own 'work' nobody would need you.

ya might want to tell this generation to move out of mommy and daddy's house before they turn 30.
