re: Trolling the "NextDoor" sites

That's got me crying. We have one on ours named Dick Pickleson.

And the U Club vs. The middle-class on Bluebonnet lake wars are epic.

Our area had a lost tropical bird that had people soooo concerned. Random people would check in for days, frantic for any update on that poor bird.

The coyote/cat thing had south Shreveport in a tizzy for a while. There was talk of calling the police, trappers, somebody! Someone pointed out that the coyotes were there before the homes and all along; folks just didn't see them until they all got surveillance cameras.

Someone asked about an odd sticker on their mailbox post. Speculation swirled for days about it being marking for future crimes and lawd knows what gang-related activity. Then someone explained that the paperman uses them to mark where to throw the newspaper.

Right now, a lady has a tree full of limes she wants to give away before the freeze. Judging from the scores of responses--perhaps a record number--folks in the area are suffering from scurvy and in desperate need of free citrus.

ETA: If you need a notary, ask on there. Several dozen will chime in. There must be six on every block.

They give a lot of prayers for people, cats, dogs.

And whoever owns the black mustang or maybe purple Camaro off Hoo Shoo Too is a dick and needs to slow down or they are putting speed bumps in.

And Matt Morris got in a thread about house construction and got roasted for a week until it got whacked.

Our next door app is used by stay at home moms and retirees who kidnap animals. If it’s within 100 yds of their property line that animals face will appear on the app as an animal on the loose.

Here in Nola mine is peppered with car burglaries, package thefts, and the occasional "scary black man knocked on my door last night".

It's actually useful though because they'll post pictures and videos from their security cameras.

Recently one guy walked up on someone's porch in the middle of the night with a creepy mask on peering in the windows.

Oh the pleasures of Nola.

Thinking I might start a ND thread tonight about leaving candy out and the coyotes accidentally getting into it...chocolates bad for canines...blah blah...share nature, they were here 1st blah blah.

I watched a couple of them a few years back. The ladies were attractive enough, but the dude has this annoying arse voice and he wouldn't shut the hell up. Total boner killer. The Casting Couch series is way better.

From my neighborhood blog this week; long before "nextdoor" came along.

"A recent letter from an anonymous "neighbor" urged residents to join nextdoor.com. Neither the letter nor the website are associated with (my neighborhood assoc. name) . Residents who have joined in response to past letters urging them to do so have had numerous problems with their email address being sold and a terrific increase in spam."

Response --- OMG! WOW!
