If I end up in prison it's going to be due to me finally snapping my sanity over the incessant gas-powered weed whackers and leaf blasters run by multiple households here.

One couple, I swear a single leaf or blade of grass hits their pavement and they have to break out the backpack blower for 20 min, several times a day. It's degrading my mental health. They also just cut down an 80-year-old, probably 100 feet tall, 60 foot wide tree because they didn't like it. Why did they buy the property last year then? The house is nothing special; a 1,000 square foot 1940s bungalow they could have found dozens of within a 10 miles radius.

I had no idea that this is such a common issue! My neighbor revs up the ol' leaf blower every single evening. He's compelled to eliminate every last trace of matter from his property and vehicles. But several times a day? It's no surprise that you're losing it. I wonder if there's an ICD code for leaf blower compulsion? If not, there should be.

It's not just the noise. It's the eradication of all insect life too.

Our lots are only 50 feet wide. I'm an older woman and I can sweep the grass clippings or whatever from the entire sidewalk and driveway in seven minutes. Same size as his.

Why does it take him 20-30 min multiple times per DAY? Because these assholes use those gas-powered leaf blowers as phallic substitutes that make them feel manly, apparently.

I don't use blowers and I have all sorts of beautiful orb weaver spiders, different shapes/sizes/colors, and other insect life abounding in my yard. I put raked leaves in fall all around and behind the shrubs to provide habitat for overwintering queen bees, egg sacs and other potential life.

These men on my block even use the mega leaf blowers behind their shrubs where no one can see. It's a mental illness! It should be illegal. Don't even get me started on the chemicals they use to eradicate clover, milkweed, dandelions and anything else that is a potential nectar source.

I'm childfree. It's their kids and grandkids who will be fighting for food because we have no pollinators left. Yet I am the only one in the neighborhood trying to do something about it.

I walked into the park across the street a while back, while one of the staff people was using a leaf blower. The light was just right, and I took video on my phone of the horrendous cloud of dust and who knows what that was billowing up all around and traveling broadly in every direction. So in addition to the infuriating noise, they also throw everything (dog poo, spit, car emissions) that’s on the pavement right into your face!😡

Good point. My idiot neighbors make massive dust clouds AND they blow their clippings and debris into the street, against ordinance, meaning they flow into the storm sewers and into our streams, rivers and other waterways, saturated with chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

And the city does NOTHING. We live in an affluent area (I'm in the smallest old house on the block, pre-affluenza) and all people care about is appearances. I am the neighborhood weirdo. Tried to cultivate a pollinator garden on the easement and the ordinance officer made me eradicate it. But I've shown him photos of the illegal debris blowing, of other illegal acts, and he does nothing. Because it's the bros doing it, not some little older woman.

One of the staves in my fence isn't stained (its not stained at all, actually) the same color as the rest of the fence.

They're no prize but at least they are quiet. It's a three-bedroom ranch. No way will I hit that jackpot again; you know it's going to be rented by people with screaming brats and a trampoline. These lots are only 50' wide and their backyard is turned sideways to face the side street, so it's literally six feet from my bedroom window. If I knew how to get my hands on sedatives I'd be stocking up.

Nevertheless, She Persisted's avatar

I dunno--my grandmother died of congestive heart failure at 93. She was able to live alone and still DRIVE until a week before she died. She felt "very tired," so my cousin brought her to the hospital, and they admitted her. Over the next week she just got weaker, but even on her last day of life, she was able to listen to our conversations around her bed and say a few words. Then she said she wanted a nap, we left, and 15 minutes later the nurse called to say that she had passed.

So that's how I decided that I want to die of congestive heart failure. It was the best death I could have hoped for for someone I love. And NOT what the Mango Mussolini deserves.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

I've seen patients die from congestive heart failure and it's the last thing I want after liver failure. It's usually an awful way to die. You are extremely short of breath, tired and in the hospital all the time to get IV diuretics. My mother died of it and she didn't suffer that long. Your grandmother lucked out, trust me. I'd change that wish if I were you. The best is you go into ventricular fibrillation (not driving of course), you faint in a couple of seconds and the Jesus bus comes to get you. Painless. Awful of course for your family because it's sudden.

It was established in 2020 with a 16 year term. Unfortunately, trump is never happy with things that he‘s already signed so we’re back on the merry ground.

Eek! Sorry! "Goldfinger" is my favorite Bond movie. It seems to me like every time we see the Oval, he's piled on more gold. And it's beginning to resemble either a mideast royal palace, or a brothel (given how much he's selling himself...)

"Leavitt said Trump’s bruised hand was consistent with “tissue damage from frequent handshaking"

Who was he shaking hands with, the fucking Hulk?

How fucking stupid do they think we are? There was a IV in his hand and it bruised. You can still see the needle mark. It must be exhausting to tell lies and try to keep track of them All.Day.Long.

“Shaking hands “??? 47 is a known germaphobe; he wouldn’t shake hands with all 3 members of the Holy Trinity without a thorough hand scrub with alcohol between each person — and one of them is extra-corporeal.

'Epstein killed himself before finding out it was all a hoax' is likely something Musk overheard someone else saying. He had an aide write it down quietly before he forgot.

Ah, yes. 'Big Balls' can now read everything everyone has posted since AOL sent around free memberships on floppy disks. Maybe he passes along the best tidbits.

Did you guys see appearance by Dr. Vin Gupta this morning on Morning Joe show??? MAGA must have gotten to him too.....he said that 'oh its common for older folks to have Venus Insufficiently and does NOT mean his heart is failing". Oh really? How does he know that? He should be on tour with Donny telling the crowds that D is the most healthy person alive other than a few minor issues 🤣

Morning Joe has bent the knee, and now most people who appear on the show toe the line. Kind of sickening.

I wonder if Trump's most recent doctor was being too cute, saying there were no signs of arterial disease without mentioning the vein disease. But if Karoline Leavitt says God saved Trump from assassination and healed his ear cartilage in record time to do God's work, you'd think he wouldn't have left Trump with CVI. That edema looks damned uncomfortable.

All of the things they said he doesn’t have are things he does have; otherwise they wouldn’t have mentioned them specifically.

The report certainly smacked of, "whatever he has, it's DEFINITELY NOT CARDIAC!!!! NOPE!! ARTERIES GREAT! LIKE AMERICA! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Donnie is a proven sexual predator, pedophile, and rapist. This is not new information. His cultists and the GOP portion of Congress have chosen to ignore these facts. This tells me everything I need to know about the perversion of MAGA and the GOP.

To treat simple venous insufficiency with IV diuretics ( which it appears Rump is receiving ) is poor medical practice.

So Rump is either receiving poor treatment, or his handlers are screaming « venous insufficiency «  as a cover up of the more likely congestive heart failure.

It doesn’t add up.
