The guy to our right mows his yard about 4 times per week. I have never seen anything like it. I swear he is out there with a measuring tape. They are middle aged. He and his wife are nice folks...kinda quiet.

The couple to our left are the "newbies" on the block. Younger couple. They have a few parties but never gets too loud or goes too late. Same deal. nice folks.

The people across the street are nice as well. Middle aged. He outkicked his coverage by a lot. Rest of the neighbors on our block are not scared to bust out the lawn chairs and some driveway beers and adult beverages. Pretty friendly hood. Not terribly nosey or pushy at all which is good.


We pretty well live in soccer Mom heaven here. Its kinda Southlakian.

I drank out of a cup when I first moved where I am. Once I started peeing in the yard, people I had never met startling bring beer over and peeing In yard with me. Not all of them will, like my guy next door, but he still lets me borrow tools and we share fun stories.

I have a neighbor on one side that moved in 9 months ago, I've seen him once...from a distance

This^^^^^^^

June, That can get wild if not careful. LOL

If it’s any consolation, I’m sure they’re disappointed in you as well.

First rule in my neighborhood
Don’t talk about the neighborhood.

A good neighbor is always better than a bad neighbor!

That is assumed in most relationships I enter into. Once you accept the fact that you are not going to live up to expectations, the feeling of letting people down doesn’t sting as bad.

Genius .

I have good neighbors , their all half a mile away. The guy across from gate once or twice a year will have a family reunion, outdoor music, live sometimes. Usually a hunnert cars parked out in his pasture during the parties. I live them to their devices but I will go visit with him a could times a month andhelp him empty his beer fridge. He's told me anytime I want come get a cold one. Miller Lite

Kinda cattywampus to him left of my gate an old guy bought a built over travel trailer with a full porch and he sits out there drinking miller lights all day every day. Very friendly. Retired outta Houston about a year ago and got that place. no fingers on his right hand,just the thumb --- tablesaw.

I've got some more but they are further away and no good stories.

My best neighbor ever next.
In one of those houses a little further away I had a guy move in back in 2002. Very interesting guy, gun collector (he loved S&W revolvers), bought his scotch by the case ... Glenlivet 12 year. Chain smoked red box Winstons so bad his wife made him build a mancave so he built an 800 sq. ft house with full porches. out in the side pasture. He was also a Class III firearms dealer and had some really cool toys. He made lots of money selling as a middleman, at home, select building products and day trading. His life was good.

I rode the 4 wheeler home from there 3 sheets in the wind a couple of times. Was over there helping him cut a dead oak and he had a massive heart attack while on his tractor. CPR'd 30 minutes in the pasture until the ambulance got there. He was a fun guy ... had great stories about Vietnam, living back east and knowing some upper crust eccentrics, and a gun store owner in Canada that had been SS in WWII. Talking, drinking, smoking ... he was good at all 3.

Had the best neighbors at my lake house. All but 2 have died. And one of those moved in with his daughter. Joshua has 1 decent neighbor, although I could do without him firing up his Harley at 4:45 a.m. every morning.

To my west, couple in their late 30s or early 40s, with a young child, nice enough. We do the friendly neighbor chat thing occasionally. They are kind of messy, yard is weedy, garage is stuffed full of junk. I’m not judging.

Across the street is a lone elderly lady, nice and friendly, but we only wave and shout a few pleasantries. Two of my kids have backed into her daughter’s car parked directly across from the end of my driveway. She doesn’t park there anymore

Neighbors directly behind me are my nemesis, only because of their dog barking. Loudest dog I’ve ever heard. I’ve confronted them about it, got a bit contentious, but they don’t let it bark near as long as they used to.. I don’t like having to do neighbor conflict, but I had no choice.

I try to offer help to neighbors with their yards so many are totally clueless. Most of our neighbors are good ones behind us not so great but not terrible either. All in all I have had much worse neighbor situations in the past so not complaining. We used to socialize a lot with the neighbors but everyone just kind of cooled that years ago and all in all I am happy about that part.
