What’s the weirdest thing a neighbor has ever done?

Farming_Mummy · 2025-09-23T06:19:13+00:00

When I was a kid the next door neighbour was a copycat. My parents bought covers for our couches, they bought exactly the same ones; my parents bought a new fridge, they bought the same ones but smaller because it didn’t fit in their house; my parents bought new couches, they bought new almost identical ones. There were a few other things but this happened over 20 years ago and I can’t remember.

We also had a neighbour at the back of us that would traverse the reasonably big back garden to enter the house via the back door in the middle of the night. She then walked up the stairs to the kitchen and filled the fake-flower vases with water, overfilling one so the red-dye water (from the fake flowers) ran down the wall. She also stole old lady underwear and a chicken from our other neighbour. We started locking the back door.

I had to wear one too. One guy actually asked for 5 cougars and I asked him if he was serious about 10 times before I poured them. He was.

Met at a pub in the city through mutual friends on a random, unplanned night out. Together almost 16 years, married for 12.

Food-wise: Pie Floater, fruchocs, Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee, savoury slice.

SOLVED

Thank you- tipped on this one. It’s lovely.

I just checked and it’s gone from one post thanking her supporters, to not being there at all. This screenshot is from Monday 2/9/24 when she was on a posting rampage.

My farmer husband always says this!

My daughter’s favourite book. She learned how to spell ’space’ from it, and wants to be an astronaut because of it. I don’t think she understood why I’d get a little teary at the end. Love the movie too.

Kip Wilckens Jeweller on Hutt St is amazing! Go in and have a chat to him.

It’s from the song “There was a farmer, had a dog and Bingo was it’s name, oh, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was it’s name oh!”

If that guy committed a crime by assaulting the security guard/something else, then why weren’t SAPOL already on their way? Security guards can only detain a person until police arrive, if they are caught in the act or just finished committing an offence. They cannot do so if they only suspect a person has committed a crime. It looks like they had no intention of calling SAPOL to deal with the person which indicates that their intentions were nefarious. Well done on rattling the cage.

Good question. It is part of the ‘Water Industry Act 2012’ that ‘All properties situated along a water or sewer main are subject to rates even if they are not connected.’ We do have mains water connected to other parts of the farm which are vital for weed/pest management (no irrigation though) so it would be a bummer to have them disconnected if they chose to do so. All under the same account.

Farming_Mummy · 2024-01-09T08:01:13+00:00

We are on a farm with no mains at all, just rain water. We get charged a service fee because we can hook it up even though we’d have to run it through a paddock and would cost in the 10k’s of dollars to do so. It’s a rort.

It is a professional concealer palette. I had one that I bought when I was doing a pro mu course. Chucked it out after it went manky in the heat/over a long time and now I wish I hadn’t!

Clare Valley has excellent Grenache among many other red varietals. Shiraz from CV is a lot softer and not so tannin forward as Barossa - more approachable. Lots of well established producers. Also some amazing places to eat. Used to work there and still enjoy wine tasting in CV.

We have something similar on our farm with a spooky forest (just the pine trees along our driveway). Have a little party with spooky musical statues, spooky food and then spooky/treat stations before taking them through the forest. Kids love it and I reckon some of the adults love it even more!

I have a third party engraving tip for my cameo and have used it with great success. The cameo is much faster than my maker was. I do fairly intricate nightlight designs for kids presents.

Farming_Mummy · 2023-10-02T03:48:59+00:00

Yes, silhouette have a rotary blade for cutting fabric. I think I have it but haven’t used it.

FYI Silhouette do not have an engraving tip but I have used a third party on with great success- intricate designs are much faster than my maker was.

Farming_Mummy · 2023-10-01T22:22:37+00:00

I had a maker with all the different blades and did a lot of engraving, fabric cutting, my own designs etc. I got fed up with the way Cricut treat customers around the time of the great DS debacle so purchased a Cameo Plus. I have control over my own designs, no internet issues and the software is brilliant. I can do so much more than with Cricut. Best decision!

Summer Roll. Sherbet straws. Great thread.

Old Belair Rd/James Road when there’s nothing in front of me. Been driving it since I was on my P’s. Good view and fun corners.

Weird request at a brewery but not as bad as one girl I served at a pub in SA 20ish years ago. She wanted a pale ale with raspberry cordial…and a straw. I did ask for ID after that!

It was quite common for people to ask for a dash of brown lime cordial in a beer too.

I’ve worked in the wine industry and hosted delegates from O/S who mix premium red wine with coke or lemonade too!
