What did you learn today? Part II

destroy on my throat on something 0_o and on my eye something!
 
I just learned about 10 minutes ago that my neighbor across the street had his truck broken into several days ago ( thanks for telling me man...) and that there are apparently people living or staying in the house next to mine which has been empty for 2 years because the owner has been in Iraq. Nice to know...oh, and illegally. Squatters...could be a damn serial killer for all I know...nice, just nice.
I feel so freaking safe now. Funny I didn't see anyone there...and the house is right next to mine. Hubby did see someone there several days ago but figured it was someone cutting the grass as usual, since the owner has lawn service....heh, guess not.

I'm pissed no one told me. I heard it from a neighbor at a store tonight...just got back after hearing the news.

I need to move...
 
We learned that after the Town Administrator spoke with the Health Department, they still will not approve the permit for the septic tank (no sewer system here Cheetah). We have now gotten in touch with the surveyor (on the advice of both the contractor and the Town Hall) and he is trying to figure things out with the Health Department. Hubby is now frustrated enough that he is really wanting to move away from this "God-Forsaken county".
 
I learned that my neighbors are about to get fined by the county for not mowing their grass in 3 months.

I don't blame him for wanting to move away.

We have 5 people in the neighborhood next to us that all got massive fines after 2 months of no mowing. Next up, the Town Hall has their mowers come out and charges the owners $100 on top of all the fines. If the Town has to mow it a 2nd time, then they can begin filing the criminal charges for it. Main reason for the criminal charges and the strictness, we have been having an alligator problem here. If the grass gets too high, the gators come into the yard and "camp" out. There is a canal in the back of the neighborhood where the gator come from. Food is scarce for them.
 
Today, I went to court then tonight, ASL class where I learned a lot. My teacher is so cool :) First time in my life I've ever understood what the teacher was saying or even enjoyed being in class. Didn't even notice there was a clock in the room. Loving it!
 
I learned that Tyson is in violation of some federal animal welfare laws.... saw it with my own eyes today.

what's so hard about mowing lawns even once a month? are they unemployed or something?
 
Learned that my boss' husband's cancer has recurred, and he will have to undergo chemo/radiation. I'm worried for them. They are only just a few years older than I, so they are in their 40's. :(

I'm sorry to hear that. My dad may have cancer of the mouth and I will know for sure by Friday.

Thanks, and I do remember you telling us about your dad. Keep us posted. All of us here at home will keep him in our prayers.
 
Lots of cancer this month. My father in law is back in the hospital and his cancer is progressing much more quickly than they thought.
