    As soon as she get this stuff done then go out and have another conversation about your next project and make sure you mention that you changed your mind about the paint color and the windows, your neighbor did it and it look horrible.

    Wow, I would film her and post it on youtube. That is insane! Is she older than you? I am guessing mental illness here...My neighbor is an unmedicated schitzo. It is really sad. The people across the street do the same thing to me...except with holiday decorations. I just stop doing it. The kids have more to look at across the street than here...and plus, with the electric bill going up, It saves me the money!

    As hard as it would be for me, I would ignore them. If they see that they are getting a rise from you they'll get even more carried away. It's their problem that they have no original thoughts or ideas, lol.
    As tempted as i would be to do a Craig's list post or a YouTube I wouldn't because of the legal ramifications. Everything can be traced.
    What a sad life having to imitate someone because they have no original thoughts of their own.
    This thread has provided me with some good chuckles on an otherwise not good weekend.

    You know what they say; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Maybe she just thinks you're wonderful!

    But then again, this kind of sounds like that movie with Bridget Fonda, Single White Female. Maybe she'll start trying to live your life!

    Either way, don't pay any attention to her!

    Sorry I had to laugh. My mother used to have Flamingos in the yard when I was growing up. She also spray painted them black.....just to peeve the neighbors she didn't care for. Especially "Mrs. Kravitz" that lived across the street. That woman would follow my mother's every move. Finally my mother decorated the porch with empty Pepsi bottles, cigarette packs, wrappers from candy, snacks, chips. Mrs Kravitz came over that very day and complained and never did anything my mother did again. All for the sake of "Yard Of The Month".

    My SIL is just like that. My Dh told me when we got married she was like that. If she doesn't have the money at the time to buy stuff she pouts until she does. After we got married , we got a yard swing that hung on a metal frame. It looked like a kids swingset frame but with a metal swing in it. Well about three days later she had a childs swingset put in her front our with a wood porch swing on it. Another thing my Dh and I told everyone we were expecting guess who delivered a baby exactly 8 weeks after we did. That is just the beginning. We just got a new van well she got a new car two weeks later , saying it was her daugter. But I try to over look it because it does tend to drive you insane. I could handle anything except the baby, that was on the borderline of being obessive. She live across the street from us.

    Whats wrong with pink flamingoes We got some made of METAL last year at Hobby Lobby. We keep'em up all yr., along with our foo dog., tiki gods, devils, gnomes, etc.. Anything to make people think we're complete nut jobs., is fine with us! Where we live., people tend to avoid crazy people!
