re: What kind of relationship do you have with your neighbors?

Crackhead neighbors on my right moved out yesterday. To the left is an old man suffering from gout, his two adult lesbian daughters, and three or four grandkids. I wave and speak in passing with the old man. Across the street is my good neighbors. Young white collar dude directly across from me and a preacher to his left.

Neighbors on each side of me are friendly, we socialize some and talk regularly out in the yards. One is a State Trooper, the other retired JPRD. Across the street is a retired school teacher who I talk with when she's outside; grew up with her nephews and know the entire family. Since I grew up where I live, I know all the old folks that are still there and try to help them when the need it.

None. You start talking/getting to know one and they'll end up asking you to do stuff for them. Frick that nonsense.

The best kind of relationship. I ignore them and they ignore me.

They tight we talk but that's about it. Kinda like talking to someone when you pass by, keep that shite brief. Never get close, did with one family and it didn't end well

Best friends with the two houses to my left. Friendly with the house to my right. Love the married girls a few doors down. Do not like the weirdos at the front of our street.

Overall we are blessed with outstanding human beings as neighbors. They encompass the "neighborly spirit" and are the type of people you want to be around and have your kids grow up with. Our next door neighbors adore our son and he loves them. They are mid 40s with grown kids and kind of think of my son as their grand baby. Buy him treats and pop cycles. He asks to go over and play with their dogs and for a "sick-ull" everyday.

Some more introverted types seem to have a had time initiating conversation even with neighbors. For instance I know all my neighbors well. My neighbor to my left and the one across the street do not know each other but ask about each other. I tell them both they should say hi. I guess I'll have to throw a party for them to meet at this rate.

2 out of the three are idiots. I have done more for them than they have for me but never again. I built a 350ft long board fence in between one.

The old woman called the cops on my dog for coming into her yard but hers used to come on mine land all the time. She has 20 or more dogs.

The third one they are good people and I need to socialize with them more. I am hard to get to know because I don't trust people and really don't put much effort in making new friends.
