My neighbor put up some really annoying wind chimes right on her property line to purposely annoy me. They are ten feet from my bedroom window. And ideas on what I can do to piss her off or get her to take them down? She will not listen to reason. Practical jokes would be appreciated.

My neighbor purposely put up windchimes to annoy us and it’s working. I took them down and laid them on the ground, asked her not to put them there, but she does anyway. She called the cops on my because I took them down. Is there any legal action that can be taken to have her remove them? It’s causing civil unrest in my household.
Apparently you don’t get it. We can’t even sit on our deck with these things. There is a noise violation clause in the neighborhood and anything that dissrupts the privacy or peace of the person next door is not allowed. But she still won’t take them down.
And no she doesn’t have a case against me. We got along fine before this. She even let us barrow things from her shed. I’d hardly call it trespassing in that case.
Learn to like them huh? You are the reason good fences make good neighbors.

My mom has lived in the same house for over 20 years. Recently someone moved into the house next door. He’s a younger guy who apparently stays up late and we’ve had issues with noise coming from his place early into the morning. His mom comes by alot and recently asked us to remove wind chimes that according to her,"do not let her son sleep during the day." She recently called the cops to have them speak to my mom about the issue. When he moved in, they were very visible, but not until we had to call the cops for his disrupting my mom’s sleep during one of his parties did this become an issue. My mom is ill and needs her sleep, my sis lives with her and has to wake up early in the morning, so she needs her sleep as well. But when we explained this to the cops, they said the neighbor’s mom had a real issue with the chimes keeping her son up, she doesn’t even live there. It doesn’t seem right that the cops ignored the fact that his antics keep adult people up during the evening into the morning and yet seem to be catering to this guy’s mom’s wishes while her precious angel sleeps away his hangover. So who is right here??

today I decided to take a stray cat in- I think she is pregnant and she might have been someone’s cat ( she’s very friendly and smart.) but she looks like she’s lived on her own for a while. she’s dirty and she has scabbed up wounds.

I’m saving $ to take her to the vet- but for right now I have Lots of questions.
I’ve never had my own cat- my roomate had one, so i know a bit..
can you tell me why she does these things.

-While I am petting her she climbs up my sholder and rubs the side of her face on mine ( while purring.)
- she lays right next to me and puurs / meows and when I stop petting her
- when I get up , even to go to the bathroom she follows me and waits at the door. If I am up too long she meows.
- She is always looking at me, even if i haven’t moved.

- I bought 2 bowls, wet and dry food, cat box and crystal litter, i put her in the box once, and fed her once- will she remember when everything is?
-I put a blanket down- is that okay for now?
Thank you!
also, do I need to give her a bath?
I wasn’t going to – but my neighbor said she might be dirty and I could she could get me sick. ( i didn’t think that cats could spread illness to people, is that true?)

Is it okay to let her sleep on furniture?

About 7yrs. ago a neighbor had a "Japanese Aralia Evergreen Shrub". I mentioned how I really liked it. She tried to give it to me but I refused.
So my husband and I went to various greenhouses to buy one. After lots of looking we found on in a 3 gallon container. There were a few plants in the one container. The smaller ones I have been growing for 6 yrs.in patio containers.
There is a busy body neighbor who makes it her business to beg for plants. She has, I guess talked to my husband for 2 yrs. about how nice the plants are. What are they? My husband told her” Castor Bean" lol
I was busy inside and noticed what looked like the neighbor carrying a plant.
My husband came in and didn’t say anything. I went out to look at my shrubs. There was one missing. I questioned him. I was screaming what are you doing? That is my plant etc. He closed the windows and he said some bull story, I wanted to get her off my back…bla bla she has been bothering me for two years.
I know that it may be true but he lets follow that logic, she likes his new wind chime. So you give it to her. After yelling I told him to get the plant back. I reluctantly had him give her a one small off shoot.
We all have property that seems unimportant to others and I try not to judge. But who are we to give away what isn’t ours to give.

Would you of gotten your property back? Or just suck it up?

Every year my mom and I design our garden around this time but I have been assigned to find the plants I want this year. We already have lilies and tulips planted, they’re so pretty. We have these three azalea bushes that I can’t wait to get rid of but I want more flowers that will be eye-catching and pretty. I don’t mind if I have to replant them next year. I really like Bleeding Heart flowers, they’re gorgeous. What are good flowers to plant in the early spring? I am thinking of planting a Cherry Blossom tree but I don’t know. Ideas?
I live in Baltimore, MD and the weather isn’t supposed to drop back down under 50 again and this upcoming week its gonna be high 60′s with rain The springs are normally warm…
I’m near the Chesapeake Bay–about ten minutes away by car. My neighborhood is mostly grass, my garden is against the kitchen and right next to my neighbor’s huge tree. My yard gets ALOT of water when it rains, to the point of little pools in the grass

My wife loves wind climes and has several on our front porch and back patio. She even wrote a short poem about them. We have a neighbor that wants her to take them down because they cause noise pollution. Here are two pictures to show you the climes on our front porch and patio. What so you think about the noise pollution issue?

(I will probably get some angry answers for this but I need to vent) Ok I live in a Town home in Las Vegas, NV where there are many windy days and nights. The neighbor across the way has wind chimes that are loud and keep us awake all night. I hate to be a pain and go to her and tell her they are annoying. (i hate to start trouble) but they keep me and my Family awake through the night. I’m afraid there is nothing I can do. What is the difference between noisey wind chimes and an annoying party or a dog barking through the night? Maybe I sound annoying right now but this has really been bothering me lately.
Sandyspacecase down below should feel very lucky that I am not her neighbor, because is she gave me the middle finger she would find EACH AND EVERY ONE OF HER ANNOYING HUNDRED DOLLAR wind chimes pulled off the hooks and torn in to hundreds of pieces on her front door step : ) Honey… I’m sure they are beautiful but enjoy your noisey art in your house!!!!

I put one a few days ago in the balcony of my apartment. I really like it but I don’t want a neighbor to complain. Should I keep it or take it down?

For some reason my mother plants a large garden every year, and every year it is decimated by a large group of cute little bunny rabbits. Sometimes I think all she is doing is feeding the rabbits. I can’t help her out because of my health, and she probably cannot errect fences. I do not like the idea of poisoning them (for one thing the neighbor has a bunch of purebred dogs and they are bound to eat one of the rabbits).

Traps seem silly, it would take all year to capture half of them if you caught one each night, and it would be too expensive to set up so many traps.

So I was thinking, what about a natural approach? Is there something natural we can spray that rabbits hate? A scarecrow approach of some kind? Or maybe a sound device? One of the problems with anything electrical is that the garden is at least 200 feet from the nearest outlet.

Keep in mind that she is not a very mobile woman. Also keep in mind that we are talking about a great many bunnies.

I have hated wind chimes since I was a child, to me they are creepy and annoying (Please, no offense to anyone who likes them). I live in a duplex and my neighbor is nice but kind of inconsiderate when it comes to certain things (i.e. wind chimes and parking – parking thing is resolved for now). She is an older lady and her children are grown. Mine are younger and I know occasionally can be loud, for instance going up and down the stairs. We are always on them for no thumping and bumping because they need to be considerate of our neighbor. My problem is she has got this huge set of wind chimes set right in the middle of our shared front porch. Even with TV on I can hear them ALL DAY and through the night until I go to bed. We have lived in our apartment for 9 months and I really can not stand it any longer. I do not want to cause any problems and I am not sure if going to the landlord would be the right thing. I just can’t stand it. It is very inconsiderate to assume everyone likes wind chimes. What should I do – any suggestions? I thought about going out at night and tying a string around them and maybe she would get the hint. Please any suggestions may be helpful.

Just for the record, my husband can’t stand them either, but I think he is better at tuning them out.

don’t relate (ex: lamb, turkey, seashells, Mexican, etc.)?
Neighbor has a beautiful garden created/added to/maintained by him; decorated by her.

I live in a duplex in the bay area. My next door neighbor has now tapes my wind chimes twice. Last night I posted a note at my door please do not tape my wind chimes.The last two renters never said anything about my wind chimes. I have been here 3 years now with no problems until now. I never complainted about the loud parties, all people coming and going all night.
sorry about the spelling of duct tape.
