Aw, thanks. But I don’t think that’s it! Maybe it’s the Nirvana T-shirt I always wear.

An awesome garden, it should be noted. And a kick-ass floor plan. DD’s house is so cool, I bet the neighbor is just jealous beyond words.

We have neighbors like that, too. The only time they ever talk to us is when we’re at the mailbox at the same time, and then they usually say something socially awkward, like, “Well, I better get my mail and go home. My cat has the runs.” And we’re going, “Um, yeah.”

I think I understand why they don’t talk much.

Anywho, just wanted to thank you profusely from the bottom of my heart for your help with the HTML on my template. I am forever in your debt.

Do you like banana bread?

Don’t be silly — I lurve long comments! I just have so little experience with this whole suburby thing, and, I have to say, I’m not entirely sure I want much!

Not that I have a choice. At least I get to complain about it on my blog!

Dd.

Wow. This is amazing. It could be our neighborhood. We have a lovely man next door, who talks with us and tells us literally everything under the sun, and then on the other side our neighbors duck inside, perhaps screaming “No!” in their heads when they see us, pretending we don’t exist or that we will somehow just vanish if they will it to be so.

I don’t understand those who don’t have the wherewithal, the chutzpah, or whatever you want to call it, to say “hello.” What is the big deal?

I have yelled hello, waved wildly, saluted in a friendly fashion while driving by, but to no avail. (Maybe that’s why they think I’m so weird, come to think of it…)

I guess I should explore this more in a post, myself. I’m submitting a very long comment here. (sorry.)
