Please don’t. He’s a goon, it will start with him offering to build her a computer “for free,” meaning just the cost of parts, which she doesn’t understand because she’s an old lady and doesn’t get how it went from “for free” to hundreds of dollars, and then it will end with him clogging her toilet and then making a giant mess in her bathroom when he tries to “fix” it, at which point she demands he leave before she calls the cops.

I had to google this Lake Shore Drive thing to see why boomers on social media would be so mad about tacking on the name of the city’s founder to a major road and yep, sure enough… They would have hardly noticed or cared about the change except it’s honoring a black man so it’s automatically :byodood: tHiS pOliTiCal ClimAtE and a terrible government overreach that impacts their lives negatively somehow and they should have been able to gleefully vote against.

It does seem unwieldy to tack a name onto a street name rather than just like, change it. But yeah, they give the game away.

They frame it like their complaint is it’s changing something iconic that “didn’t need fixing” but you know drat well if they had tacked on the name Mike Ditka or Harry Caray they would have loving loved it.

My Next Door recently had a posted pointing out that the bus drivers for the county school district are much lower paid than those of surrounding counties. They included an email to contact the school district and the thread turned into basically organizing a pressure campaign on the school district to up their pay. I was loving shocked...

>> Theft! ( It's garden season ) To the TUNE of COPS, "bad squirrel, bad squirrel, what you gonna do"... "All SQUIRRELS pictured here are presumed INNOCENT until proven guilty in your own backyard garden". .
.
My grandparents used "a Chicken wire fence" around their garden... to "GUARD their GARDEN" from rabbit, deer, raccoon, birds and squirrel... and of course their own free-range CHICKENS. ( Sometimes a "Garden Owl" or "Scare Crow" will work... sometimes they won't, especially when you see birds resting on them... )

Tomatoes & other GARDEN garden produce have MOISTURE... on a HOT DAY.

... looks like you (MAY or MAY NOT) have been the ONLY ONE looking at that "ripening TOMATO" ... if it was a squirrel, he probably watched you water the plant at some point this spring...

No proof if it were a squirrel... but a critter of some sort would make sense.

>> ( Theft! of Tomato from plant... It upsets me to think someone was even in my backyard!!! )

REFERENCE: ((A nextdoor link I removed))

>> Theft! I have lived in my exceptionally quiet neighborhood for over twenty years now. This spring I decided to plant a couple of tomato plants and I have watched them anxiously waiting for my first tomato. I was out watering them yesterday and saw I had one almost ready to pick. This morning I looked out & saw the plant was leaning so went to straighten it back up & someone had stolen my tomato! It’s strange because my plants are in the backyard and not visible form the front at all. It upsets me to think someone was even in my backyard!!!

This is our nextdoor town lead and instead of replying to people's posts he makes huge ones of his own and includes the person's post on the bottom. There's another huge one about 4th of July, feel free to not read it to save yourself some braincells:

Edit: Actually reading that second post it's just a direct copy-paste from some article so it's not worth posting.

The person who types like they're crazy is probably right though, it was a squirrel or rabbit not someone walking into their yard to steal a single small tomato.

I used to be roommates with an otherwise totally normal, sane person who thought the neighbors were putting pieces of stale bread on their bumper. I told them it was probably a squirrel and they never totally believed that until they walked outside to see a squirrel eating bread on their bumper then put it down and run off.

Different fireworks thread than the guy who launched missiles at Syria.

I agree. And my dog does not like fireworks or thunder but she just goes behind my TV stand and endures it. Could never get a thunder shirt on her.

What is a thunder shirt? https://thundershirt.com/ this is getting weird can anyone say if this is a real thing or some kind of pseudoscience?

Oh yeah and also that person was comparing their dog to war vets here's the original post that was responding to.

No those are real things. Just a compression shirt for dogs to help with anxiety. For some dogs they work great, other dogs absolutely will not tolerate them. Just depends on their temperament if it works or not. If you’ve got a dog that freaks out and panics when they hear fireworks, thunder shirts are absolutely worth trying before you go to the vet and ask for sedatives

Every once in a while, someone on Nextdoor goes nuts because they find a mutilated rabbit or just a rabbit head in their yard and automatically assume it’s someone threatening them.

We live in an area where there’s hawks, owls, foxes, coyotes, etc., but of course the most likely culprit is someone’s cat.
