I'm sorry but Pelican, you made me laugh so hard I'm crying here!!! Oh neighbor woes!!!
Tuffgirl -- it's amazing what fundamental jerks people can be. People can behave as if divorce, like death and cancer, is contagious. I've seriously had people back away from me after my divorce because they didn't want their spouse to "get any ideas" -- not about ME, you see, but about DIVORCING. Because, you know, if the neighbor didn't divorce her husband, this guys' wife wouldn't know she could leave
him... or something. *sigh*
I wish I could be more like m1k3 and have a little more zen in my life. But I'm kind of proud of you for chewing that guy out. I'm kind of rooting a bit here going "Go TG!" and I hope that's not a bad thing.
Actually, that is something I'm learning, too -- that it's OK to stand up for myself.
