I believe there is some silly law here about not growing veggies you
intend to sell later, can't see that but do agree with the no chickens
in downtown gardens, I certainly wouldn't want a noisy rooster next
door.

On my side of town and probably in the other older neighborhoods people are
allowed to keep chickens. But NO roosters.

I just don't treat people I call friends the way she turned on me out
of the blue, having apparently credited me with a post I never made.

As I said to you, she credited me with a post I never made, no
surprise - a really limited knowledge.

when we moved here years ago, the CCRs didn't allow chickens. Now it
is common to have a message on Nextdoor about lost or found chickens.

It was a shock to me when she turned on me, never had a 'friend' do
that in my life before. Clearly what she considers a friend, is not
what I consider a friend!

Yes, you've been going on about that for years. She'll have had her
reasons. May I carefully suggest you move on?

What is it I'm supposed to be jealous about? I already live on a lushly
green sub-tropical island.

This keeping of chickens on my side of town is rather new. Less than
five years old.

Of course she's jealous. She spends her days here making rude/snide remarks about other people's lives/foods/race/homes/mental states/island paradises/business etc., because she has no life of her own. It's some pretty blatant behavior.

I don't do what you tell me, can't think of a reason why I would. Just
remember though, one day she will confuse her posts and turn on you,
talk to me then :-ョ

Nah, more like his parents cheated his way into university.
Many of the richy rich kids get there that way.

Look at the recently rich hollywood parents getting a hand
slap and short jail sentence for getting caught buying their
kids into good colleges.

I do think we should just sell California back to Mexico
very cheaply. That would solve so many USA problems.

And constantly complain about the heat, humidity and rain.
And you stay indoors constantly.

People who keep chickens for eggs don't have a rooster. Some of my
neighbors keep roosters as pets, they really don't make a lot of
noise, they can make a racket for about 3-4 minutes at sunrise, but
since they are pets they are kept caged indoors, typically in a locked
barn or shed to protect them from preditors. Roosters crowing don't
bother us, we are awake anyway. Some keep geese, they can be annoying
as they are so loud and can honk at any time, and they like to walk
right up to you and honk in your ear, deafening.

If Rump would just get out there and rake the forest and cut the weeds
we wouldn't have a problem. After all, most of the forest that burns
is federal property and his responsibility.

He allegedly paid someone to take the SAT for him, and his father
made generous donations to the universities he attended.

California's GDP is nearly $3 trillion, about 14% of the U.S. GDP. How
do you expect to make up for that loss?

So what? I stay indoors constantly, except when I'm working in the yard
(which I do as little of as possible).

Not everybody likes being outdoors.

Also, it's strange how Trump's undistinguished time at Wharton has not been
the subject of tell-all leaks by former classmates.

He really cheated his way into university. He sent someone else to the
admission exams. His niece wrote it in her book and his sister
recently confirmed it.

It's good that they were caught and it's despicable behaviour, but
they didn't kill anybody. I think a really long and unpleasant
community service would have been enough punishment.
