[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 442052, member: 1233"] I am glad you are finding out that they are crazy and liars and the rest of the village thinks so too. Not sure this would be good in a small town, but I would probably start to mess with their minds. We had some AWFUL neighbors that were really scary in one apartment complex we lived in. I managed to make them scared of ME. I got some black candles, painted some thrift store maracas and castanets black, got out an old boom box and husband's cd of gregorian chants and then on the full moon I would go outside and say nonsense - in latin - and dance around the candles. Told them I was druid. Turns out the lady know someone I went to elem school with and discussed this. My classmate's mother was there and remembered that my father put "druid-orthodox reformed" on some of the forms from elem school and she told them this (she didn't like them and always did like me). She only remembered it because we attended a Catholic elem school. My dad only put it down because he was sick of the same stupid question when our hwole family attended church fairly regularly, but it made a BIG to-do in the church when he put that down. I also continued a family tradition that my dad started when we were little. We howl at the moon on the full moon. Never did understand how [I]that[/I] started, but he used to do ti with us and with my kids, so I just kept doing it. I think it started wtih my dad as a way to mess with the neighbors and keep us kids out of mischief for a few minutes. The upshot was that these druggie neighbors that sold drugs, used them, abused their kids hideously, and the guy even had a bunch of girls he pimped out (NOT kidding), well, they were scared of ME. Little 5 foot tall, looks like a stereoptype of a suburban mom, me had them so scared they would not even go outside if I opened the door to our apartment!! When we ran into each other they wouldn't make eye contact, he stopped making disgusting suggestions, they even stopped playing their hideous music at all ours because I asked them to. Previously any request to turn the music down or off meant they would turn it up and often turn it on in the middle of the night. They complained to the manager and even called the cops one night as I was dancing. The cops laughed and laughed and laughed - esp when I offered home-made cookies and coffee to them. Even more when they realized who I was related to. The neighbors were told that there was NOTHING they could do because it was my religion that I was practicing.

Anyway, if you put your mind to it I am SURE you can find some ways to upset these people that are perfectly legal and will warn them away from messing with you and J. Just be creative. Heck, hand out their number to every telemarketer/mailing list you can find. ESP ones from adult magazines, etc..... [/QUOTE]
