    All this talk of trees is reminding me to follow up on a story recited here a few months ago. I've been putting this off because, I'm embarrassed to say, I can't remember whose story it was. (Ivorythumper's?) Anyway, about the jerkwad neighbors who allowed their tree's debris to fall in IT's -- if it was IT -- yard, and a dire court battle was looming.

    I've been curious to know the outcome of this. If you're reading this, IT -- if it's IT -- can you give us a followup?

    If it's someone else, please forgive my poor memory. No offense intended.

    If someone reading this remembers whose story it was, can you let me know? Thanks.

    Timely!!! Our lawyer just sent a love letter to their lawyer advising them of the lawivorythumper v..JPG .

    You have a good lawyer. Too bad you don't have good neighbors.

    For the life of me I cannot understand why people act like this toward neighbors.

      What a wonderfully written letter, and yes, have the neighbors move the fence and turn it so the correct side faces your property.

      What nincompoops your neighbors are. There is no longer any need to care one whit what they think or want. They forfeited any expectation of your family caring about their wishes, which is further evidence of their stupidity.

      If they decide to go to court, they will lose so badly, and have the bill for both sides of the case. Make them pay a very large sum for all of it, please. Be sure to share that with us as well. It's reassuring to see riduculous behavior be repaid in this way. 😊

        Yay! Luv the lawyer! S/he is all, yes, turkeys, we are in full possession of the facts, the law pertaining, and the available remedies, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

        Looking forward to seeing their response.

          One last thing, and I'll be generous to her with this question. Is she merely following her husband's lead to keep peace in her own home, or is she fully engaged in the nincompoopery with him?

            The best way to deal with annoying neighbors is to learn karate. Then let it casually drop in conversation that you’re a brown belt, no big deal, and that you karate chop people pretty much all the time.

            Education is extremely important.
