I just bought a jersey to wear to make my DH happy. He's going to be thrilled. I'm just happy that I got it half off cause the guy was just traded from the team.
I am fed up with our neighbors, so I emailed the HOA to see if their 5 vehicles, trailer and boat (on the weekends) being parked everywhere are in violation of anything. They can't park in the garage bc it's full of crap, so 2 are always in the driveway and the other 3 plus the trailer are on the adjoining street.
Are they moving their vehicles? If they're not moved in 24 hours you can report them to the police... I think. I'm not exactly sure who enforces that.
My period several days late. I'm never more than a day late. I'm sure it's just perimenopause fucking with me, but the other possibility is sneaking around the back of my head and I'm a lot less likely to roll with the punch than I would have been 10 or even 5 years ago--44 is past my threshold. Yikes So, send period dust.

They are, there's a lot of people living there. That's why I wasn't sure if it was necessarily a violation or just a nuisance.
Are they all related? If not, how far do you want to report them, because you can get them for the "no more than 3 unrelated" code. You just have to catalog all the license plates for a while.

I commiserate. The people at the end of my block apparently have many huge vehicles. My street only has parking on one side, and there aren't really that many spots to park in. They park one vehicle (either the Chevy silverado or the Ford expedition) in the spot across from my house. Which... fine, whatever. It's not my spot, it's a public spot, but it would be nice if one person wasn't using it 90% of the time. But then they also "create" a spot behind that one in the no parking zone - which is right across from my driveway, making backing out a PITA. It also means any tractor trailers turning down the street (there are some businesses on the other end of the block that get deliveries and ship things out) have a hell of a time navigating around them.
Yup, I've called the town police, who didn't ticket, just pretty much asked them to move the car, which happened for 1 day. I once left them a note asking them to not park there for a week because we had contractors who needed to get into our driveway (pickups can pull or back in, with difficulty, if someone is parked there, but vans and larger trucks are a no, as the Verizon guy discovered). I saw a car out there around 8 am that week, but they moved it soon after, so they were at least responsive to THAT.
I just realized we may be asshole neighbors. We had some large branches fall on our roof from a nearby tree, and while I was looking over the yard I noticed a large bush/tree/whatever next to our neighbor's driveway fell over. It isn't laying on his driveway, but I don't know if it's because it happened to fall down that way or if he moved it so he could get his car out. He's a nice, quiet old man and he would likely never say anything. Geez I hope we aren't assholes. DH and I have to move that tonight.
Ahem, there is a relation between Bismark and Long John, according to the venerated Wikipedia:
In English-speaking countries, Berliners are a type of doughnut usually filled with jam, jelly, custard, or whipped cream. In South Australia, however, the Kitchener bun is a Berliner cut on the side for the filling of jam and cream.[citation needed]
In Anglophone North America, the most common term for the jam- or jelly-filled pastry is "jelly doughnut". The name is somewhat misleading, since the jam or jelly used is specially made with less pectin, so that it does not "set" like jams and jellies manufactured for table use but has a consistency comparable to Bavarian cream. The cream or custard-filled varieties usually also feature chocolate icing and are sometimes called Bavarian cream or Boston cream doughnuts (the latter name from its resemblance to Boston cream pie). The Boston cream doughnut has been designated the official state doughnut of Massachusetts.[3]
In Ontario and the prairie western provinces of Canada, as well as parts of the Midwest and West in the US, such a round jelly- or custard-filled doughnut is commonly called a "bismark" or "bismarck" (after Otto von Bismarck), while a filled bar doughnut is called a "long john", and usually contains pastry cream, custard, or whipped cream, but can also contain a jelly filling. Other Canadian terms include "jambuster" in Manitoba, and "Burlington bun" in Nova Scotia
Sooooo indulge me. Boston cream is pastry-cream filled. Bavarian cream is more like painfully sweet white whipped cream, right? I can never get my order right at Dunkin Donuts.

Both are pastry cream filled. Boston cream has chocolate frosting on top, and the bavarian cream is covered in powdered sugar.
This definitely applies to Dunkin Donuts, but I refuse to comment on the greater doughnut name controversy.
And now I want a Bavarian cream doughnut.
ETA: DH likes the "manager's special" which is filled with the whipped cream and has chocolate frosting. I don't know what pixy0stix would call that.

Okay, THAT is what I'm thinking. What the hell is it called outside of DD?

And my day has been shot to hell by stupid IT. It was so much easier when I could just call H and be like, so this is what is happening, how do I fix? He'd either tell me how or be like fuck if I know. Then I would get IT involved. Being all corporate has so many downfalls.
Mine, also supposed to be a friend, leased his house last summer. The people have been living there a year and the owner still has the garage filled with his crap, so they can never park inside. They have a boat in the street on weekends that they want to put in the driveway but cannot. Or it is in drive and their trucks are in the street. They have three trucks and are on a curve so only curb space for one.
The a/c pan corroded and has been leaking 4 months and now there is mold. He isn't fixing it till they move so they cannot use that room. And they are living in a house with mold.
They are moving 8/14 so he has put a for lease sign out front even though it will easily be a month before someone can get in, and we are in a high demand area where homes go for lease in a weekend. He admitted he is trying to get traffic off our advertising our home. And his for lease sign threatens our buyer potential because we now have 3 lease homes adjacent to ours (folks who put in contract saw home last the day before 2 signs went out but we are in option period).
AND his daughter is my daughter's best friend. So there is a 9 Yr friendship between our families.
