I need to talk about my neighbors because I have been holding this in for too long.
They had a birthday party this weekend. For one of their kids. In their backyard.
I counted six children and two adults. There were balloons. There was a cake on a folding table. It lasted maybe two hours in the middle of the afternoon.
And I am sorry but who is going to tell people that you cannot just do this.
The noise. Six children making the sound that six children make. For two hours. On a Saturday. I had things I wanted to do in my own home and instead I had to listen to a party I was not invited to and would not have attended anyway.
The cars. Two extra cars parked on the street near my house. On the public street, yes, but near my house, which means in front of the area I consider to be my general zone.
And the balloons. One of them came loose and drifted into my yard and I had to be the one to deal with a stray balloon on my own property because of a party that had nothing to do with me.
They did not warn me. No note, no heads up, no hey we are having a small thing on Saturday. They just decided to have a celebration in a yard that shares a fence with mine and let me find out about it by hearing it.
If you are going to host an event, even a small one, the neighbors should be consulted. We share an environment. My Saturday is part of that environment and they spent it without asking.
I am aware some people will say it was just a kids birthday party. To those people I would say it is never just anything when it affects the people around you.
In Tampa, Florida, Muslims attacked a Christian preacher because they were very angry that he was preaching the Bible in “their area.”
They really think they own the place.
Mayor Michelle Wu: "They would rather remodel the White House ballroom than fund the gender-affirming healthcare that saves young people's lives."
Thoughts?
Blacks “take over” a gas station and laugh that there’s only one clerk and she’s scared.
One then says:
“Wuteba u wont out ta stow isss on me”
Tell me what would be the reason for them to “take over” a gas station?
