Thanks for discussing this with me, I keep replying to everyone because I can't figure out to reply to specifics.
PaintedToe-Yes there are noise ordinances, though the officials hate hearing about it I was told because then decibels must be proved, etc, and there is so much 'he said she said.' In the final analysis while he may feel he has a right, we also have rights to enjoy our homes. We can threaten lawsuits. I was told that's how they ended up in my neighborhood, that they were threatened with suits in their former residence, for noise. And thanks for the lingo, a 'brother'.
Steve-Yup agreed, though there are people who can beat the dog one day and show up for church the next, and smile all the while. My other JV acquaintances are decent people, the two that I'm thinking of even inspirational. Of course the good wouldn;ty looks so good but fot=r the bad.
Thanks again, I did write a letter in the 'former cycle,' at my doctor's request! It seemed to have worked then, but now as I pause to think I am afraid of retaliation. I'm currently out here by myself; he's here all day, I go to work; I want to chew on that for a while, maybe another signatory, though he'll blame me since I spoke up before. Anyway, thinking 'out loud' but thanks for giving me a place to do it.
