I Am Officially Assertive

If anyone comes across this and is confused I have a topic about this subject in my profile under harassment...

Amber

I once put a lien on a whole city block in Mobile, Alabama because someone wouldn't pay me for moulding they had bought and installed in a building. They owned the whole block and it was a huge corporation.

Had an attorney call me and say i couldn't do that...my reply was "Well, I did." He said "Lady you are crazy!! My reply "You are damned right!!" Got my check next day air...being assertive in positive ways is healthy. Congratulations to you, Amber.

Amber, speaking of strangers. I have these neighbors next door, that have to have their life completely perfect. They have a perfect lawn, and never play on it. Their kids never come out of their house, and play.

They built a fence that separates our yard from theirs. We have been cleaning out our house and yard, and piled all the garbage on ourside so it would be ready to load into a truck, so we could take it to the dump.

I know, I am rambling. Well they come over, and look in our yard, and walk away aparently angry...LOL The wife comes over, and tells me in an angry voice, that they want to stain the fence, and that they can't do it with our junk in the way. I told her it would be gone today.

They walk away angry. I mean really irate. My fiance pulls up, and I tell him what happened, and he goes over to talk to them.

They yell at him, and tell him we have trashed the whole neighborhood,and we should be ashamed of ourselves.....LOL

Just because we were cleaning out our yard?? Geez!! Now they scowl at us when they drive by. NMy fiance have thought of doing things to piss them off, LOL Like taking our garbage out and accidently dropping some on their lawn. My fiance thought of spraying some chemical on their lawn that would kill their grass, and writing foul words on it.

We would never do that. My main reaction was, that they have no idea where we came from. It's their anger, and bitterness, that they are sitting in, and I would not want their life. It also helps me feel grateful for the life, I have.

My story was not in the paper today, I was so PEE'VD ARGH!!!!I am going to take a typed copy & pay for it to be in next weeks paper. A letter to the editor I guess is what they call it?I'm not sure if they didn't put it in there because it was hand written or what?The copy I gave the news reporter was typed..Not sure if it is going to be in next weeks or what, I'm asking tho!!I ran up to the store to buy a copy. I was going to buy like 5 copies for friends and family LOL. And my friend that works at the gas station said, you better make sure its in there before you buy so many copies HAHA..I am glad I did, I would have been mad LOL...OH WELL!

Love Ya Guys,

Hugs,

Amber
