Your landlady and my ex-next door neighbor should start a club. No one would join, but hey, they could say they had each other.

Ms. Essie would go outside ANYTIME MY KIDS PLAYED just so she could watch and make sure their soccer ball, softball, picnic, hair barrette, or ANYTHING didn’t touch her lawn.

She was bitchy like that.
Uggh.

Um yeah, chalk washes off pretty quick. I guess if that is all she has to cry about then things musn’t be too bad for her. You guys are pretty model tenants from what I can see, I mean that whole window falling out could have been so much worse than it was. She should be paying you guys to live there really or at least letting you stay for free. Your cats are cute, I am sure they will find a new home soon enough.

I bought a daycare last year from a lady who refused to let the kids use chalk on the front walk. The first time I did it, she came by and said, “sure am glad that stuff washes off”….as if I would have let them do it if it didn’t wash off? idiots.

You’ll do just about anything for rent? I’m shocked, but not surprised.

OH and I forgot to mention, I live in the OC and there aren’t laws or tickets for these things, if anything it would be because someone was using spray paint which is permanent. As long as the child is being watched and not drawing obscene images, they would have no problem. Unless the cop was not level minded, or the property was private, but even then, it brings a warmth to the neighborhood showing that kids are happy there. She is the one that is the “anonymous” guaranteed.

You are much more patient minded than I am. I would have been on the defense. What a jealous woman to rain on your parade :(. I feel sad seeing BB having to wash away her art. People reflect there problems onto others to make themselves feel better so dont take her judgement literal. I just cannot believe her with the leaves and bugs!!!! That is just ridiculous, as if you didn’t have other things to worry about in life. She sounds bored.

I think when she goes back to Florida, you take your chalk and go kitty crazy in the alleyway! They were PRECIOUS and…well, bless her heart, your crazy landlady.

There’s a little Mexican hole-in-the wall that we go to and were enjoying their huge carne asada packed tacos. While eating, a grumpy old lady called to the teen girl running the register. I saw her speaking to her and pointing to a sign on the drink machine that read, specialty drink refills $ 99. The polite, young lady came back. with a ball point pen and drew in a decimal point in front of the 99! hahaha I kid you not.

Please Lord, don’t ever let me become that! And for the patron that offers up ninety-nine dollars for a refill, let me never become that either, hahaha.
