Ya noticed this? All the old fuckers on my street are cutting down trees- old beautiful trees. I guess they don't want to deal with the leaves, but don't they realize the shade they provide in the summer!?

I've been going back and forth with my next door neighbor about my peacan trees for years. I have 3 huge older than America trees that are wider than they are tall. Some of the branches have crossed over into her yard 'air space.' She's told everyone that I want to cut the tree down and I've for years have had people knocking on my door "Miss Ruth said..." The last time it happened I told them that I had never discussed cutting down a tree with her and had told her I'd never do it.

I will never be one of those old fuckers!


*This is related to my "mad as hell" thread.

maybe when someone gets old and they see a big, gnarled, ancient tree, it reminds them of their own old age and they get mad, especially when they consider that the tree may have been around before they were born and will probably be around after they die. maybe trees remind some people of their own mortality. lame reason, but what can ya do?

Oh she does love the drama! I'll never forget 2 xmas eve's ago she knocked on my door to tell us a killer was on the loose! I was drunk-ish and told her she'd betta get back in her home before she was the next victim! Then I watched her ass (in a hard plastic back brace with her cigs tucked in the front) go from door-to-door informing all the neighbors about the killer. How the fuck ya gonna be worried about a killer and NOT be locked safely in your home!?

She's got all the dirt on everyone up and down the street minus us cuz I don't share with her. We are the gay couple, but that's all she's got on us.
