Some good ole domestic abuse...

I like the idea of taking your beer in front of their house. Maybe you could start a block party.

How about just calling the police, & let them figure it out...


There were a couple of domestics (at least) in the last apartment complex DH & I lived in.  Don't get too close.  Some of them are totally crazy when they get worked up!

Funny story (now, then not so much).  I was in college, senior or maybe just graduated.  I was moving the next day.  My BF was there and yes, we were arguing cuz I was trying to get stuff done/ready to move and he was, um, not helping.  I was trying to take a bed frame apart by myself and couldn't, so I took a hammer to it to dislodge the frame from the headboard.  Next thing I know, the police are at the door.  Yup, neighbors heard loud voices and then the banging...damn nosy neighbors anyway.  The BF was an asshole, but he didn't beat me!

The escalating domestic squabbles are a harbinger of the Holiday Season. It's the time of year when the dysfunctional decorate... with drama. And Jack Daniels.

   My DD moved into her new (to her ) house this weekend.   She said she was glad to be moving out of the apartment complex she was living in because there were several domestic quarrels this weekend.   When I was helping her carry out boxes, she said that a little earlier she had been outside and had been standing with a neighbor lady when a domestic dispute started.   The woman was slinging the invective pretty hot and fast.   The neighbor standing next to her took a drag on her cig and said, " Whoo, I didn't know she could sound like a sistah ! "  DD cracked up and said, " Sounds like a Christmas break-up."   

   Some of the couples in the buildings around her drink most weekends, so things happen, so to speak.

If I ever do the apartment thing again, I hope it is at least in a solidly constructed building with minimal noise travel.  DW and I heard our share of things, and probably were heard once or twice.

    DD was in an apartment complex which wasn't very new.   She's trading a college-type 1 br apt. ( not in a college student building ) for a 3BR, 1.5 ba, full basement, ranch with a 2.5 car garage for a payment of roughly $20 more per month than her rent.   She has a pretty nice fixed interest rate.   I can't think of anything wrong with her house other than that there's a fire hydrant in front of it, and the roof will have to be replaced in a few years.

   Nice quiet neighborhood.     She won't miss apartment life in that complex for sure.

    Especially when the Jack Daniel is thrown after being partially consumed.
