Yeah, this sounds like a perfectly reasonable lawsuit. Four years of that shit, and I think I might have sought less legal means of relief.

It’s amazing that it’s taken four years. My husband and I went away for a few days and when we came back, there was a giant new house under construction across the street, already fully framed, blocking most of our mountain view. It’s been a couple more months and it’s nearly move-in ready.

I had to deal with this crap for a few months last summer. The construction noise was inescapably loud even though they were working on a house across the street. And they were working normal hours (I just happened to be home before 2pm on a number of those days due to weird work hours).

I live near the pool in my complex and were it not for the fact that the pool gate is unchained at 9am and no earlier I would not get any sleep on weekends in the summer. Damn kids are loud and would be swimming at 6am if they could.

I can side with the Tangs.

Have to agree. They aren’t filing nuisance lawsuits or demanding the world, only that this asshole who clearly isn’t even LIVING there during this full scale construction project tell his workers to quit running drills and knocking down walls at 6 a.m. I live in a city that’s nonstop construction projects all the time…

I know how you feel. One of my neighbors has built himself a pretty decent work shop in his back yard. I was quite impressed at first, until he started using his table saw at nearly midnight under spotlights that practically illuminate the whole damn neighborhood.

Yeah, agreed, the condo board definitely should have stepped in. That’s a completely unacceptable start time.

LORD AND TAYLOR! ???? okay. I totally spit my water at that.

Lord and Taylor is amazing. I support it.

Lord and Taylor bahahahahaha

I wish I could get over and ex by getting under Tom too. Instead, i just took a year of my life drinking Trader Joe’s wine and eating excessive amounts of meat. She does a lot of things better than me, including breakups.

i can’t stop watching this

Ok, that one is new...and disturbing.

Lets all agree to only eat Cuban Sandwiches this week so we are eating pork and chicken in equal measure. Also, so we don’t discriminate against pickles.

The idea that we should forcibly conscript young girls into combat, to my mind, makes little or no sense.

100% believe Leo is shit in bed. When in his life did he ever have to even fucking try?

Hah, yeah, I’m always surprised when people tell me about their “weird” dreams about a famous person moving in next door or their mom becoming their coworker. One of my common recurring dreams is that I find out my high school or college diploma was invalid and I have to go back to finish it, only when I go there I…

From the great Lindy West:

That sounds like a completely normal dream? Last night I dreamed that I was in the neighborhood I grew up in, only it was a post-apocalyptic wasteland and I was taking some of my students to the neighborhood playground but it had been built over by some kind of evil prison fortress.

Just after my son turned 21 he went out with friends. He came back totally looped and decided to share some of his deepest thoughts with me. My favorite of his loud, largely incoherent and disjointed ramblings was this: “Momma? I think that you and Lil Wayne are the only people that get me.”
