Get some f*cking blinds, you assh*les!

ooh even better i'll wear a magan dovid (star of david) while i'm prancing around and then go over in my outfit (I'll make sure it's a friday when i come round) and say shabat shalom. yeah can't wait. then i'll tell them how I'm far away from home and as a jew i was wondering if i could share their sabbath dinner??

Hey, hey, hey! Hold on just a minute there!

I don't get it.

If you have blinds on YOUR window, Kicky, USE 'EM!!! That's what they're there for!

They should cover up their windows because you don't want to cover up yours??? What kinda sense does that make?!

Yer inventing problems, boy.

That hurt my brain reading that.

That's our Kicky! Never sees the obvious.

OK, there is the cruxt of it.

Having lived urbanly rather long, it's true, usually you don't just get to parade around in view if you don't want to draw in the troubled perverts. Though... that is why there are six foot fence limits (don't get me started re eight) in back in some cities, and, if there is city code on it, usually 42" high before the setback line, often twenty feet from the front sidewalk, usually though not always the face of wall of the front of the house.

I think Kick's problem may be interesting legally, though I'm guessing it has already been solved.

Why can't he be nude in his living room, exactly?

Well, we sit around in our kitchen and living room and have absolutely no blinds. Never wanted them, never got them. The people across have put up blinds because, well, I suppose they wanted some privacy. We never cared, so why should we. Well, truth be told, they are 15-20 feet away from us, and there is some shrubbery, but we see eye to eye from kitchen to living room. We figure, if they want to watch (they would have to be bored out of their minds to watch us type at our computers in the kitchen), heck, let'em watch.

Our first house was in a lovely little neighborhood where everyone was friendly but always respected each other's privacy. Perfect neighbors, really. We were all renovating our older houses. The lots were only 50' wide, so the houses were very close. Everytime someone bought window coverings, they went to their neighbors and apologized in case someone thought it meant they didn't want to see them any more.

I remember one set of neighbors whose dining room windows were only 15' from our dining room windows. We used to look across and include each other in toasts. The next day someone would say, "What were you having for dinner? It looked so good!" and the other would reply, "Fettucine primavera...and we have some leftovers. Would you like some?" I really miss those people.

As someone said...it's urban sensibility. You live close, you learn to get along. You learn to ignore what goes on outside your windows. You turn a blind eye to things you don't want to see.

Or you get blinds yourself and shut them. (HINT)

Obvious? Like the fact that you've been sniffing airplane glue again?

It's the principle of the thing. This is about sharing the load. They are not giving me the respect I deserve, as a fellow inhabitant of this neighborhood. Besides, I was here first!

They are there all the time. Loud little bratty kids all day, and into the evening. I should be able to have my curtains open at least some of the time without seeing them all running around less than ten feet away, shouldn't I? It's bad enough that I have to deal with the noise, but why should I shoulder ALL the burden of privacy?

Don't you see that all I'm asking for is some common decency? Should they just be able to move in and take over? Of course not. As decent neighbors, they should bare some of the burden here too.

The one thing in this world that I hate the most is having to be around other people's bratty kids, and now I'm stuck here right next to a whole brood of the little noisemakers every day of the f*cking year.

Man, this apartment...every time I think I've gotten adjusted to how much it sucks, another suck-ass thing comes along and makes it worse. Damn it! Why didn't I just stay at my other apartment last year!?

Kicky, I think I've found the perfect place for you.



No kids, no noise, no neighbors for miles. You could leave your blinds open 24/7.

wrong song.

play NIN Closer ....

isn't this the same apartment you wanted to add drapes to a few months ago?

you seem to have a lot of drape-related issues...

Kicky... get your affairs in order. Call the escort service. Be specific in what you want. Spend an enjoyable and agreeable evening in her (or his) company taking part in a fine meal, your favorite entertainment and then top the evening off with the wildest monkey sex imaginable. Be sure to engage in every perverse and filthy act you've always fantasized about.

Sleep in tomorrow..get an automatic weapon, cut down all these inconsiderate pricks and their satanic spawn monster kids and then turn the weapon on yourself. It's for the best. We will miss you my friend.

Wow, what a completely logical and perfectly rational solution. Thanks, BVT.

LOL - well, it's ONE answer, anyway I love creative resolutions.

Yes, I can see how this would bother you and I also understand your logic about being there first and everyone sharing in the privacy responsibility. I totally get your resentment.

Unfortunately, all I can do is sympathize because all my suggestions are way out of line... waaaaaay out of line!

I have alwqays been and shall remain here for you....

Soon in a thread near you: What's eating Kicky's drapes?

Why doesn't kicky just buy a nice house in a gated community where the nearest neighbor is 100 yards away?

Wouldn't that be the simplest solution?

Or a farm. 80 acres would be just about right, I think. Or maybe the island I found for him.

Oh, but then...Kicky "LOVES" New York! Remember? <ROTFLMAO>

(I think the boy just likes to complain.)

I love kicky dearly but I don't think the boy is quite right in the head.

Would a mercy killing be too extreme?

Just make it look like the neighbours did it.

Its what Kicky would have wanted..
