I must belong in an older era or something - as I long for the simple life myself, and to have people in my life that really care and are not rushing around crazy like there is no tomorrow. I guess this is not just a U.S. thing, which I am sad to hear, but God bless you for being such a kindhearted person. I'll be back to read lots more later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-9671203578782984672007-07-15T05:22:00.000+10:002007-07-15T05:22:00.000+10:00Thanks to each and every one of you for your comme...Thanks to each and every one of you for your comments.

There I had very good relations and interactions with every house on my block; and so it was a fantastic place to be. Here, with trial and error, I've tried for that for the past seven years, and I guess that I should count it as one of my gratefuls that due to my efforts it does exist in a small way tho' we rarely interact and there is a certain negative vibe in the air... Many days no one even says boo, tho' must admit that is better than being screamed at or complained about. And that has happened too. So feel a bit empty on the generosity/friendliness front.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, feel revived by your recent posting -- and see I need to get my attitude back on right since this is the place I am meant to be. That better attitude will take some doing.<BR/><BR/>Quite simply, you've given me an answer or two in these posts. Let's all keep on the keeping on!<BR/><BR/>--WildsideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-83766082226981200482007-07-14T14:01:00.000+10:002007-07-14T14:01:00.000+10:00It's a good feeling to know that your neighbours a...It's a good feeling to know that your neighbours are thinking about you and your chookies enough to put aside all that stuff.

We are very lucky to have some young families nearby - which means a constant stream of little folks to see the chooks and ducks! It also means that people have a vested interest in feeding the animals when we are away. :o) I think we might be a bit of a neighbourhood curiosity. <BR/><BR/>Our neighbourhood was ravaged by the 2003 Canberra bushfires, and as a result, everyone really bonded and this feeling of connectedness has continued. (The fires also got rid of all the privet in the backyard, and the trumbling down fences, so it wasnt all bad!)<BR/><BR/>Goodluck with breaking down the neighbourhood defenses - they dont stand a chance with your arsenal of cherry slice!The Duck Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804351827909380328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-66141432241021460862007-07-14T08:53:00.000+10:002007-07-14T08:53:00.000+10:00I will finally get my new next door neighbours in ...I will finally get my new next door neighbours in about 2 weeks. I am going to try and foster a friendship with them too. I have the advantage that we work across the road from each other and already stop and chat to each other when we meet. Adelaide is a bit odd that way it seems, as ppl rarely know their neighbours. I want to change that. Good luck Rhonda, I would love to have you as my neighbour!Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066863074405512584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-31763643136961012492007-07-14T08:51:00.000+10:002007-07-14T08:51:00.000+10:00I just commented on your last posting before this,...I just commented on your last posting before this, but I had to say that I love this posting just as much.
