kids electric car garage image
TimorousBe
Everytime we see her, she critisizes something about our house (which is very well kept and has been nominated for gardening awards in the past).
Examples: she wants us to take care of leaves that have fallen from our tree into her yard. (However, they were maple leaves and our tree is a walnut)
-we left for a week with the AC running and she called the cops because she was worried it would catch her house on fire. (she was ignorant of the fact that we had all new electric put in the house.)
There are dozens of stories like this.
We have tried ignoring her, but she's taken to sitting in her back yard and catching us when we go to the garage. I'm starting to wonder if we should try a different approach (should I bake her cookies or something?) Or just keep ignoring her and pray that she has a fatal heart attack sooner rather than later? Or should we start getting agressive and commenting on the little things she does that annoy us?
I want to add that we have been very nice to her (shoveled her sidewalk when her kid doesn't come over, etc.)
Other neighbors have had the same problems. They've all moved, citing her as a major reason.
Answer
You could take several approaches here, but being nice clearly will not work in this case. These are some strategies that I'd consider.
1. Shock & awe) Always keeping it legal, start doing the same but several timesfold. She doesn't like your garden? Call a neighbor meeting to discuss hers and how it is affecting your property value. She called the cops bacause she was woried of fire hazard? Call the because she's old and you haven't seen her and think might be dead (you may even call that boy of hers and say you're worried). Leaves have fallen...? Rake yours and "forget" them in a mount right beside her yard on a windy day. Do a lot of out door cooking. If you have kids, ask them to play out side and invite their friends over, if you don't, use your grandsons, if you don't have any in the family, borrow from someone. NEVER do anything nice for her. No baking, no shoveling, no nothing! And, if you can - within your right - do any thing to make her life harder, please do so: like leaving the car parked in a way she has to do that extra something to get in; get the paperboy to throw her newpaper out of reach or in the rosebed etc. Be agressive!
2. The Shining Gaze) Start acting a little crazy. Rent some Nicholson DVDs and practice the looks in front of a mirror. If you happen to talk to her, tell some made up story about some situation in which you were commited with road rage and drove some SOB biker right off the road. If you or your husband are a war vet, talk about some horrible stories and killings (be graphic) and start screaming at night. Display sudden outburst of rage and alternate them IMMIDIATELY with extreme softness. Oftenly, let her see you gaze at her, lost in your own thoughts and with a very subtle smile.
3. Legal Up) This is boring and not fun at all, but... contact a layer, by having called the police, she has already supplied you with one evidence of her harassment. Now you have to start collecting more.
4. Black Magic) Okay, this probably won't work, but you might be able to scare her enough to give her that fatal heart attack.
5. I know you are, but...) Everything she does to you you do it back.
No matter what means you chose to deal with this hag, it is important that you enjoy yourself doing it.

What Food Did People Eat In The 1950's For BreakFast? And What Were Their Standards Of Living?
Q. I Have To Write A Report On the 1950's and i need to know how they lived (average size of house, Cars or no Cars, Etc.) And What They ate, and did for jobs.
Answer
You need to watch Leave it To Beaver:)
Yes they had cars
They lived in the suburbs in modest size homes 3 bedrooms living room dining room 1 bathroom nice yard with a garage. TV was around the garage door opener had been invented. Dad worked and mom stayed home and had a plate of cookies ready for the kids after school. It was the American Dream time. They had electric washers and dryers.
There were beehive hairdos, nylon stockings, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, denim jeans were becoming popular, leather jackets, letter highschool jackets, scarfs and berets, cats eye glasses, pencil skirts, pony tales with bangs, slicked back hair for guys.
Young people were called youths not teenagers
Music was just beginning to branch into Rock and Roll but there were still people like Perry Como and Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole but there was Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash
There were drive ins, diners, and drive in movies, and soda fountains, and car hops
There was James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando , Tony Curtis, Cary Grant * Charlton Heston, Grace Kelly, Jimmy Stewart, and Elizabeth Taylor in the movies
TV dinners were popular and trendy and acceptable in the 1950's Basically they ate what we eat now. Lots of packaged food started coming out around this time.

Cars were a really big deal they tricked them out and raced them and they were muscle cars and made them cool to the teens
They were status symbols to the grown folk
