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 MoreGood afternoon!
Comments (12)My week is ok, thanks for asking. I had to come back to work off of vacation and that was a bummer. My boss is picking on me in some sort of weird man ego bid to impress the newbie who he is in a weird bromance with, despite the fact that dude cant even clock in on time, so that is annoying but I have friends everywhere at work so I just ignore him and do my work and make my money. I was welcomed back by my shifts with enthusiasm, as they say prefer to have me there over the people who cover for me when I am on vacation. That is always a nice feeling when people say nice things like that. During the first part of the week I was still on vacation and a little restless so I painted the bottom half of one of my bathrooms. The top half was a bright blue , the bottom half a horrible brown, with a white chair rail separating the two. Painted the brown a navy blue, and it looks a million times better. I hate that I left it like that for so long. Brown and gray make me sad. Got my septic tank pumped. Just barrels of excitement around here! I also ordered some veggie seeds and some plants for my garden. Got SO to go get me some compost/manure and some more dirt to top off my raised garden beds. I will plant his collards and cabbage and my broccoli in a few weeks. I am noodling with the idea of trying to grow onions this time. I want to get some more of those garden beds. I might not this year but I may. Next year for sure but maybe this year. I really really love them. Got my hair done too, which was the true highlight of the week. (see what I did there?) I started my eating plan for the team weight loss competition and that is actually going better and was easier to start than I thought it would be. But its always easier on days/nights I work. When I am off and at home its a bit more of a challenge. But I am sure I can do it. Had a week long back and forth with the company that picks up our trash. They did not pick it up last week. I called every day after our trash day and they said they DID. No, you didn't. Well, we will get it tomorrow. They didn't. This went on every day until our regular trash day again. It wasn't picked up again. So I finally called and told them that they could either come pick it up THAT DAY, or I will be bringing it to their doorstep, and they finally picked it up. I am always exceedingly nice when I call for things like that, because my mother taught me that you always get better results. But eventually somethings gotta give. WITCH SWITCH FLIPPED! And I got a weeks credit on my bill. I just want them to give the service I pay for. Its so frustrating. I went to the eye doctor today because I am on my last pair of contact lenses. I had SO drive me because I was really tired after working last night. It took way longer than I thought it would and we passed a Krispy Kreme that had the hot light on both on the way there and on the way home. :( I told him he better not stop. We can go back after my competition is won! Or lost. Whatever. I am happy that my prescription has not changed, and I was happy that the doctor did not try to push Lasik on me again as he has done every year. I believe he actually sold his practice but still works there, and probably no longer gets commission or kickbacks or whatever doctors get for such referrals. Leo is having one of his spells where he throws up all his food for a few days in a row. This happens every few months. The vet does not know why. He does not feel bad and still eats, drinks, plays, and annoys the cat. He just throws up a few times a day for a few days then he is fine. Its gross and I wish the vet could help, but I guess its just a quirk of his. So we are waiting for this bout of whatever it is to pass. So some good, some not so good, some mundane. Just happy to be alive to ramble about it. Enjoy your weekend!...See Morechisue
