macg, im like you, these days i dont bother talking to people til i can work out their level of consciousness...i see what they eat and drink generally and make some logical assumptions
some people are as useless as tits on a bull and all this love thy neighbour crap.......
time for a story?
our neighbour. a ghastly human specimen. also known as 'big fat troll'. she cleared 2x 100 year old healthy native trees illegally. ripped up her entire garden. concreted most of the property. sprayed roundup everywhere most especially near our vege patch on the boundary. thats just a small part of neighbourly discontent. i wont go into it, but all i will say is..my husband found a new late night urination spot and our dogs crap on her front lawn regularly.
we call it .. balance.
