Running upstairs!!!!
Comments (57)Hello! I just read through this entire blog because i have the same problem: noisy neighbors with a small child running across the whole apartment and constantly banging stuff on our ceiling. We have been living in our co-op for 5 years and we have a big dog too (no kids). About 6 months ago, this young family moved in above us and the small child started to run all across the apartment (back and forth and back and forth). And bang really really loud on our ceiling. We tried to play the nice card and bought them stuff to help with the noise. But it still continued. By that time we got very angry and very stressed and ignored. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT RUN IN THE HOUSE! IT IS NOT SAFE FOR THEM (this is coming from someone who has three older siblings with many nephews and nieces). My siblings always monitor, discipline and explain to their children about proper behavior. People who are saying "kids will be kids" are completely wrong. YOU ARE THE PARENT SO CONTROL YOUR CHILD!!!! Let's be adults here and realize that noisy children behavior is mostly disruptive to everyone except those who are the parents (and yes maybe the parents themselves are sick and tired from them but hey, you wanted to have kids like the rest of your friends, so suck it up). We decided that we will not tolerate the constant running and banging so we are taking it up with our board. I personally think that there should be LAWS ON THE LEASE / CONTRACT AGREEMENT about families moving into a complex or building that has only singles or couples. Meaning they should be allowed possibly on the first floor only. REALLY! I would not expect others to tolerate if my kids or my habits were bothersome to others so why are we so quick to dismiss the complaints of those people who are bothered? I think its simply lazy parents who are careless and no common sense folks who don't know what the hell parenting is all about !!!!!!I truly sympathize with the people who feel ignored by their neighbors and management and landlords about the noise. Since we all can't afford private residences and mansions and what have you, then I believe from a rational point of view that who ever is the source of disturbance they should stop immediately or keep it at a bare minimum. IF YOU ARE CREATING DISTURBANCE THEN YOU SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND STOP DISTURBING OTHERS! Because even if we decide to move out, then the following tenants will deal with this issue too. So, you and your running kids won't win anyways....See MoreI guess this is goodbye ... sniff ... :'(
Comments (26)Yes MamaGoose that is a wonderful thought provoking image. You and LL have been rung through the mill. I also had a few issues with medications for Joe. This is when I started to keep a detailed journal. Some thing that could not just be heard from me but written so the doctors and nurses would see I was keeping details and when he was told to take this or that med is showed up in his food journal as barfing his guts out. Stop the meds he was better. And even though these meds were supposed to keep him from getting sick they did not work that way. I was also very frustrated on the way they were taking care of him in the hospital. His skin was horrible and his toe nails were awful. No one even bothered to look at his feet but me. Interesting the first thing the home health nurse looked at was his feet and she was pleased I had cared for them She said it is common in hospital to neglect the feet. And when they brought him food they did not open the container even after notes taped to the tray and written on his board in the room. I would get there and everything closed up. He could not open the containers so he would go hungry. He was too out of it to ask. I had to spoon feed him for a couple weeks after we got home. Sometimes he fell back to sleep eating half a cup of custard. LBD sounds like a horrible disease. Spiders coming from the ceiling is more than enough to make a person go over the edge. Feeling so bad for your and and Hubby. MG and LL. We did get some sun. We canceled the dentist appointment yesterday AM. too much snow and emergency weather alerts saying stay off the roads. I think we got 5 or 6 inches of snow but at some point in the night there was a bit of rain so it laid down an ice slick under the snow. This morning we woke to sun and about 13 degrees. We did breakfast then out to put the snow plow on the ranger. Joe had about half of it done then I went out to help him do the rest. I know he wanted to do it all by himself but it is good for me to refresh my brain on how it goes on and comes off. Then I went off to the post office and Joe plowed the driveway. LOL He even plowed a swath across the back yard for the kitties to travel on their adventures....See MoreWith all this mattress talk, anyone have a Tempurpedic?
Comments (34)I know this thread is old, but I came across it when doing a search for something else. We have a true Tempurpedic thick mattress (not the thin and not the pillow top.) We bought it because I was having back problems. The bed is wonderful in the winter, and really keeps you toasty. I have no problems with my back in the winter. In the summer, the bed gets too "soft" for my back. I think one reason is because our bedroom is south facing and gets very hot in the afternoon...therefore the mattress heats up and softens. I have the hot flashes, too. LOL We keep our thermostat around 72-74 in the summer (65 in the winter.) Also, I am "fluffy" so the extra weight makes the mattress sink down even further when it is warm. On the other hand, my DH is thin and he loves the mattress year round. We fight over the thermostat settings. He wants it warmer in both the summer and the winter. Ugh!!! I have found that if I place a thick mattress pad on top of the Tempur in the summer it helps keep my body heat from heating up the mattress. I take it off in the winter, so that the mattress can "catch" the cold from the room and firm up more. If I had it to do all over again, I would have either purchased the thinner mattress (these are firmer, but would make the overall bed thinner and hard to cover) or purchased the Sleep Number so that DH and I could have our own settings. Moving around the bed is a little difficult and there is absolutely no support for the back if one of the "kids" jumps on top of you. Wink, wink!...See MoreSophie sent me a baby from the rainbow bridge
Comments (32)You took the words right out of my mouth, Nina! Milo (who we have nicknamed Fuzz) has filled my heart with such happiness, though I still grieve my sweet Sophie. <3 I'm so glad your Olivia found one when she did. :) That picture is the most adorable thing! Update on Fuzz AKA Milo. He has been to the vet and had his first set of shots and I got his deworming medicine, which he already finished. He left with a clean bill of health. :) We are socializing him with family member's and friend's pets at home and he has done very well. :) Sadly, we have no puppy classes where I live (I live in the Appalachian mountains where our closest Walmart is even 35 minutes away). The only classes we have are pet co and it's just for training. So we are sticking with family and friend's dogs who we know are vaccinated and healthy, until he finishes his round of shots. I want to say thank you to each and everyone of you. You are all so kind and your words all mean so much. I truly love this community!...See Morechisue
