Nicely tell her next time she has something to say that you would prefer to gain your advice from a professional and any futher comments can be forward to your attorney, And yes what she is doing is harassment,our ex-neighbors complained to our animal control officer that our dogs were left out all the time and were mean and that they kept trying to get under the fence. First thing is we are so over protective of our dogs that when they go out we go out with them. They were the most friendliest and loving dogs ,they loved people (except for DH one friend LOL).The animal controll officer had observed our house for awhile and after a few days came to do a home check.He was totally amazed that we even had dogs ,he said our yard was not the normal neighbor yard.There was no droppings left around and the yard was kept up very nice,he played with the dogs and said my neighbor was out of her mind.He had to go into her yard and check the fence to make sure that we had it supported enough and than he called the code enforcement officer out to issue my neighbor some fines for her trash cans not having lids and for all the trash in her yard.He also told us next time she harassed us to document it and take the documents to an attorney and file a harassment charge agianst her.

Well, Alisande, during a flu outbreak, every one should wash their hands multiple times a day. But I do not think this administration engineered a swine flu outbreak to push a health care bill, as has been suggested. Nor do I believe this was some sort of terrorist attack. That was suggested up-thread. The Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO) have been totally transparent in their tracking of this disease. Case zero has been discovered - we know where it came from. It was a child living near a pork factory in Mexico. He got ill and recovered, but not before passing the virus on to others. No conspiracy.

dcarch - No. There are a couple of "hot" brisket suppliers around these days. I don't know the names off the top of my head. I get mine from Penn Dutch in Margate, FL. Here's an interesting story... About 10 years ago, we invited Paul Kirk to come down here and run a barbecue cooking school. I tied in a Certified Barbecue Judging class with it that was to start around 3 hours later, so that the judges could sample what these newly-trained cooks prepared. I got there very early and joined the cooks as they selected their meat for the class. Paul Kirk laid out 10 different briskets and asked each cook and me to select what they thought the best one was for a competition. Each cook poked and smelled and squeezed the briskets. I was the last one in line and the only one to look at the label. Paul asked for my selection and I pointed to the one with the cheapest price. Mine was the right answer, according to barbecue professor. With the long cooking process, it really didn't matter whether it was Certified Angus, Kobe, or just some unknown brand. Like I've been preaching all along: it's a cheap cut of beef that you're going to cook for many hours. In the end, it will taste as good as your rub, your smoke, and your sauce.

SPOILERS AHEAD: I believe Young Griff is who they say he is: The son of Rhaegar, snuck out of the Red Keep just in time, raised by Rhaegar's good friend Jon Connington. Am I right? Only time will tell. I don't know what the duck means. One of Young Griff's attendants is a sellsword nicknamed Duck, and I have been confused as to WHY his foster father -- former hand of the king, experienced warrior extrordinaire -- hired someone else to train Young Griff. I mean, he himself is capable, and the more people who know Young Griff's real identity, the more danger he is in. And Tyrion commented that Duck was "less than he seemed". If Jamie showing us the duck isn't a hint that Duck will be important later in the book, I don't know what it means. What Duck might do, however, is anyone's guess. I agree that her time at the Eyrie has been the happiest time of Sansa's adult life. Her childhood was better, of course, but her eyes were also closed to the real world at that point. I agree that Sansa and Tyrion -- even if Sansa were capable of overlooking his physical shortcomings, no pun intended -- are poorly matched. He's much more intellectual than she is, and she is much more social. Too bad the marriage plans for Sansa and Willis fell through; I think that would've been a good thing for her. I'd say her marriage to Tyrion is invalid because it was never consummated, but none of us have read the Seven Pointed Star -- the holy book of their faith -- so we can't say with confidence whether they consider the marriage valid or not. She certainly doesn't seem to consider herself Lady Lannister. Sansa can't lie to Ramsey about being married to Tyrion. If she did, he'd rape her anyway (remember of whom we're speaking), and when he realized she's a virgin, he'd know the marriage wasn't consummated. In the book Ramsey marries Arya, or at least he thinks he does. The truth is that Little Finger sent Jeyne Poole (Sansa's childhood best friend -- remember Little Finger, who owns a bunch of brothels, offered to "find a place" for Jeyne?) to the North wearing Stark colors, with instructions to say she is Arya. Everyone believes the real Arya is dead, so they'll never be caught in their lie. Theon knows, but he is too terrified to tell the truth, even when he sees Ramsey abusing the girl. Why do the Boltons want this marriage so much? They're ravenous to make their stranglehold on the North official, so marrying Ramsey (heir to the Dreadfort, natural son of Roose Bolton) to the girl they believe to be the last living Stark essentially gives them control of the North. In the books, Sansa is still in the Eyrie with Little Finger, who is making plans to marry her to a never-before-mentioned character called Harry the Heir. Through a round-about train of likely events, he is sickly Robin Arryan's heir, so he is almost certain to inherit the Vale and the Eyrie. He is also described as handsome and good, though he likes to run around with the ladies. He will accept Sansa in a heartbeat; first because she's an ideal wife -- beautiful, well-trained to run his household; second because his position would be considerably strengthened by marrying the former lord's niece. Will this happen? Only time will tell. Oh, yes, the books are good! So much better than the movie series! Intricate backplots, complicated characters, and you never quite know who's telling the truth.
