368.0. "Grateful Home" by CSCMA::M_PECKAR (life is a carnival) Thu Aug 12 1993 11:22
In 348.74, Gary mentions his neighbor-who-is-a-jerk. I also have a
neighbor-who-is-a-jerk, so I figured a topic to exchange stories about who
has the jerkiest neighbor would be good, dead-related banter.
Without furthur adieu, then, here is a topic for Grateful Homeowners.
Its certainly an important theme in the lyrics.
And that's where I'm gonna make my happy home, happy home, happy home.
Going back home that's what I'm gonna do.
through other eyes on other days while goin' home.
sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.
Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will lay my bones,
Seven come eleven, boys I'll take your money home.
get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home.
Go on home your mama's calling you.
All the winter birds are winging home now.
Right outside this lazy summer home,
sometimes we visit your country and live in your homes,
may the four winds blow you safely home.
I get home before daylight, just might get some sleep tonight.
Can I come home with you?
Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty-handed armies are going home.
There ain't no winner in the game, he don't go home with all.
I got jumped coming home last night,
Went back home with two black eyes,
Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds,
Bringing home a party when you need it the most
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia,
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'
If I knew the way I would take you home.
Get back home where you belong
been there so long, he's got to calling it home.
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home.
Truckin' , I'm a goin' home,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones
Hey now git back truckin' home.
Fly on those wings of love, fly up, fly home,
come with me, or go alone, he's come to take his children home.

| Let's see, neighbor stories... We've moved now, but the last house
had some winning neighbors. The women who lived across the street was
certifiable (really, she'd been in and out of mental institutions and
her husband (the drunk ;-) said that he'd married her to keep her out of
institutions). She was somewhat subdued when on her medications, but was
not really on them most of the time.
The first encounter I had with her was late one night when she rang our
doorbell and wanted to know if we kept some sort of pet in the ramshackle
garage next to the house (which was on another's neighbors property).
Ummm, no. "But what's making that noise?" Uhmmm, sounds like a cicada
to me. "No, no. It's some sort of animal" Mutter mutter wander off.
Hmmmm. Another time she dropped by and showed me some sharp stick she
carried around to dissuade rapists, or some other suspicious individuals.
That might have also been the time that she questioned me about having
so many plants in the house because they steal the oxygen!
When we were selling our house, she scared off a few potential customers.
At one point the real estate women was showing it to a couple who were
somewhat interested, and Caroline (to give her a name) came up and
laid her head on the shoulder of the prospective women buyer. At another
point my wife was explaining something to some folks who were looking at the
house and Caroline wanted my wife to call the police because her husband
wanted to lock her up or something, and Amy tried to shush her away.
At which point Caroline got the idea that my wife wasn't taking her
seriously and started cursing Amy out in front of these people.
Sigh..... I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.
I'm glad we did finally move. No such problems these days.

| Where I live in Cinn. when I'm not in Mass. had some real winner
neighbors too. We also had a crazy woman across the street. Some
nights you'd hear a ruckus at say 3 or 4 in the morning. I'd look
outside and there she'd be out on the sidewalk screaming all sorts of
nonsense. Some of it just randomly changed topics and others were
racial slurs or against certain sexual preferences. She always
screamed about people being after her or taking her away and she wasn't
gonna let it happen.
Then, there's the family next to her. The single mother was gone all
the time and the kids who could not have been older than 14 always
skipped school and participated in some strange behavior. By strange
behavior I mean we could tell they were selling drugs. They'd astand
outside and stick there heads in cars for a moment as they slowed down.
Needless to say there were police in oour neighborhood around the
clock. They usually stopped at one of the places a couple times a day;
more on weekends.....
sounds pleasant huh? I'm into cheap rent :-)
