#Neighbor

tiesa, 5 months ago to homebrewing

Went to our complexes #holiday #party and had to leave before things really got going because our #homophobic #neighbor showed up.

I don’t feel safe around him, even if there are other people around, but I also don’t want his kids to not participate or see something harsh.

So, back at home with my #wine and really trying not to cry because I’m missing out on spending time with my non-bigoted neighbors.

When the guy who invented the leaf blower died, did they just scatter his ashes over the neighbouring graves?

(Yes, neighbours clearing their snow with a leaf blower is a sore point for me. The prevailing winds mostly dump it on my driveway.)
