We had a cat that stuck around our house for a solid two weeks and we did the same thing (food, water, shelter). We even named the darn thing. We called it Tony Danza. He got so comfortable with us that he would let us pet him and he'd even sit in our laps while we hung out on the front porch.

I finally convinced my girlfriend that he had to be someone else's cat, and that she should post his picture to the local missing pet facebook page. We were laying in bed that night and received a phone call from the cat's owner. Apparently this little stinker had been missing for almost a month, and his owner was our neighbor three doors down the street. Also, the cat was actually a pet rescue from hurricane Harvey, so this little dingleberry has had a hell of a life so far. The owner came and picked him up that night. We just recently moved into our place so that was the first neighbor we actually met. Now we're a part of the neighborhood watch group on facebook, which is surprisingly really nice. Lots of informative shiit on that page haha.

I joikrd one of those groups once and found that the smell of marijuana is a prominent complaint on our street. I wonder what could be causing that.

You should have snitched on some neighbor kids.

For sure. You could've even gone as far as to say that you know where the kids are growing it.

We moved into our place 20 years ago and have had the same neighbors on both sides of us the entire time. Our kids grew up together and we've always had each other's backs. (we all have keys for the 3 homes) It's a cool feeling.

Sounds silly.

Years back, the neighbors on the right were on vacation in Spain and their house was broken into (smashed window). Called them and they authorized me to act of their behalf until they returned. I was able to let the cops into their home and point out the obvious things that had been stolen or ****ed with. Also patched the window, kept an eye on things and talked with them the whole time.

Neighbors on the left were in Hawaii and the wife was hit by a car. Again, we were in communication for the six weeks she was in the hospital. Took their newspapers in, grabbed their mail, and watched over their son, who was home from college one of those weeks. Took out their garbage too.

We let each other's pets out to pee all the time too.

Practical > Silly

I was joking. Having good neighbors that you like is awesome.

Bourbon. Bourbon is awesome.

Well, some bourbon is awesome.

Drinking my first (second) glass in 9 days. Took a break from the pain meds just so I could.
