I added a back porch onto my house and apparently he is unhappy about it. He now is raising his blinds and curtains, has a college kid lights around the windows and a disco light going in one room with a mannequin staring into my deck from one window. Every time I have people over he is staring at us through one of the windows. We waved at him last night and he started muttering something (couldn't hear) and looked like throwing up gang signs or something. (he's like mid 60s) 

Literally stared at us for 3 hours. I'd just rather not have to deal with the creepy crazy old guy who lives off the rent of 5 other men in his house staring at me and making obscene gestures at me all the time. 


Well in that case, plant the bamboo. Twice.

Because you're living next to a gdamn weirdo my baw.

Had a neighbor that sounds identical to this guy. Eventually he OD’d on God knows what and wasn’t a problem anymore.

So you could always just wait a little bit.

Check out graceful bamboo. I order from a guy in Florida. You can trim all the leaves off the bottom half and it looks pretty cool. There's tons of species. Just need to get the right ones.

Mmost old people are on drugs of one kind or another. Usually legally prescribed stuff. None of it should be used with alcohol, not even antibiotics should.

So think about that while having another beer contemplating retirement. No alcohol since gonna be on some kinda drug in all likelihood. All those drunken old fools were once young social drinker fools, just got old and prescribed crap to keep them alive but refused to put down the alcohol.

Now shake a stick back at the old fool and yell: Git off'n mah lawn!

We bought bamboo from the bamboo nursery for privacy fencing. The problem was it was the type that freezes and dies... Sucks. Make sure you get the kind that's freeze tolerant
