Magic and mirth in mundane moments

What recharges, refreshes you? Brightens you?

When you are being tugged at by negativity listen to your heart to be there for others. When there for others you are being more of yourself. You make a difference. Love ❤️ ❤️ love ❤️ love

Hello Starrlight

I agree and that is why I pop on here when I can and answer posts even if just to say hello to someone to let them know we care and our listening

I think sometimes you have to be careful though to not give to much and keep some for yourself as I have found people can do all the taking while you are been there for them and leave you drained by the time they have done which is not good for you either and also not to expect anything in return when you are a giver or you can be left very disappointed , as long as you know this then it is good to know you have made a difference for someone that may be in need

Take Care x

Good tips. You are so good at catching posts and being helpful. So many times you’ve settled my anxieties. I’ve already tired myself out today. Ha!

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

Thank You

I am tired all the time so never know much difference

8 months in and those neighbours of mine are still doing DIY plus he has another toy where he burns rubbish in it in his garden despite if your windows are open OR you have washing out , my hubby asked him only the other day if when he is going to light it up would he just give us a shout so we can shut our windows OR get the washing in , well obviously that fell on deaf ears so annoying and to me just not polite !

There you go I will make you more tired with that little moan x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Ha I don’t mind your moan. 🤔 tough situation. Do you think you’ll ask the DYI neighbors again maybe? It reminds me there is a house a couple blocks away from my house which always stinks and is black from burning trash indoors. Even if you just drove by with windows rolled up you can still smell the stench. It pisses my husband off to have to smell it. I myself wonder what goes through their heads and want to know why that behave like that. People behavior is so interesting.

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

We will mention it again and then I might just start loosing my temper if they don't listen

But when you have been cleaning up all day , house smells nice and clean who want's smoke filling it up as I always have my windows open even if just a little bit in the Winter to let some air in and I am like your hubby I cannot stand the smell of smoke

Yes people's behaviour is very interesting

All I ever want though is a little consideration but I think now a days that seems to be to much to ask , as much as it gets on my nerves them lighting these fires I know I cannot stop them but just a thumbs up to let us know I would have thought would not be to much to ask , well maybe it is by the look of it x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Shouldn’t be too much to ask I believe. I love opening

Yeah Interesting i love watching people haha! My friend and I used to go to the mall to people watch and we’d laugh at each others’ faces... fun times.

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

I observe people a lot to and pick up on things , I have to be careful not to get carried away and stare to much

Enjoy your evening x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Haha same here! I try not to stare. It’s so hard sometimes.

We go to Reno for business seminars. Our fun times are watching the gamblers, and making up stories about them. So much more fun than gambling, or sitting in our room. Some of the stories we made up were doozies!

[Starrlight in reply to NCAQuilter]

Oh woooow yeah my husband told me he used to go the food court section of the mall and lay eyes on someone and made guesses as to what their life is like.

[NCAQuilter in reply to Hidden]

Where do you live where burning trash in one's back yard is permitted? If it is permitted, then maybe some of your neighbors can get together to get the law changed! I really agree with you; smelling someone's trash burning is not good, on so many levels! Children's health being one of the first. Hope you can find a peaceful solution soon.

Hello NCAQuilter

Thank you for your reply

I am in the UK and we have no laws about having garden fires , we used to have one that you could not light one till after 6 in an evening but they changed that and allowed everyone to have them any time day or night and no matter how many of you complained they would not change it I have inquired before

Basically I think they expect people to be considerate towards neighbours , reasonable etc but there is no chance of that with most people so you have to put up with it which is not good

I will speak with them again and I think when the Summer comes and if they continue they will have more neighbours saying something to x

Hello to you, too, Lulu

It is a real shame you have to put up with this. Expecting all people to be polite is living in dream land. Maybe if enough complain about one person often enough, some restrictions can be applied. Dream land? I hope not. Perhaps if you approach him again, as you mentioned, you may get results, I think I would do the approach as often as he burns. Hopefully, he'll get tired of hearing you complain.

I hope you find a solution
