My rich, young neighbors are having another one of their intimate dinner parties tonight.

coffee

party with friends...

but, ok. you got me,

kinda creepy OP, not sure if its healthy to watch your neighbours in this way, and you know Seabeyond if i think its wierd then we are way out on the wire.

area, condo whatever and the price range would be comparison.

the post is not making a lot of sense.

luckily for a lot of reasons i have no neighbours who can see us unless they are willing to hire the google earth satelitte.

That's a little over $900.00 more a month then what I get.

I have a beat up old scooter for transportation.

Sometimes it's been pasta (I'm Italian, I make my own sauce).

Other times it's been a $100+ trip to the market.

Opening your home and breaking bread with friends is still something the Republicans can;t take away from us.

So you're what, in the Projects?

there is a rescue mission in the downtown area -- right across the street from a building full of multimilion-dollar condos.

I rent next to their mansion.

I'm making an observation - why are you so hostile?

Why are you so defensive?

It's nice to be nice. You don't like your neighbours? I don't give a shit, but you're not going to get sympathy from people because your neighbours have friends and enjoy basketball. The horror!!

Thanks.

nt

a patio table is $250 at walmart, and they have bottles and bottles of $2.77 oak life wine in the usual california flavors (merlot, chardonnay etc)

when i lived in a poor neighborhood my neighbors were FAR more likely to have these huge rowdy block parties, i'm afraid to ask how they paid for them, but they had a lot more refreshments than just wine and coffee

a wine, coffee, dessert, and citronella candle party is not "uber" wealthy party, it's a cheap get-together probably for struggling young people just starting out in life

but i get it that you're angry that you weren't invited, you could always call the cops and complain about the noise

Everyone parties, one way or another.

Better food. Better music. Better company.

in the end its the company that counts rather than the food or surroundings.

it's nice they're talking quietly so as not to disturb you. What is you problem with this?

animals and having the cops there multiple times during the night. Or it could be blasting disco music until the wee hours of the morning.

Just saying!

god i love my neighbours parties..

So not only is there the noise (which is somehow amplified on our country lane) but there's the shooting, and the dirt bikes and ATVs or snowmobiles.

I'd love to have the neighbors host a congenial yuppy party of wine and basketball hoops... nope, I've got the equivalent of a country crazy fest when my neighbors let loose.

Wednesday night blow out from midnight to one am.

for the party two floors below us. We live on the back side of the building overlooking a hill side full of deer, turkeys, rabbits and an owl. The woman 2 floor below us has a yard that she gardens, has a bench and it is beautiful. Her yard goes up to the fence that keeps the wild life from entering onto the property.

The woman is mid to late '70's, a retired court stenographer. She still works from time to time as many lawyers will call her to transcribe depositions.

Every summer in late July, early August she has a party for friends. Tables are set outside, it is catered, there is wine and wonderful quiet conversations & music.

The party just brings a nice quality of living here. Most people in the building are elderly, I'm one of the younger at 55. The older people tend to keep to themselves, so this party is just nice to have.

Life is good.

Off to the re-education camps for you!

you'd have a mosquito misting system.

made me LOL!

Bring some booze to my place. I'll provide the tunes and a pot to piss in.

You bring the booze and I'll supply the food.

on an acre of land, the only partying next door is when he illegally burns his garbage in the woods.

kind of "party" is that???

I've seen more action at a wake FGS!

Fuck that shit, man.

Give me an un-uber wealthy hell-raising party any day

Those bastards!!11 A quiet dinner party is horrifying indeed. I'm nowhere near rich and I had a few people in for dinner last week. Chicken caesar salad and crusty bread, people brought their own beverages.

I like a loud, no holds barred party, but I just don't throw 'em.

I shall tell you about the one I have to contend with.

I don't live on a block, but there is one about a football field away. My neighbors on that block are partying fools. It's the only route back to my house. If I don't take that, I have to hike down a rocky, uneven mountain.

One of the neighbors is the mother of a music star who is worth about $500 million and is on the Forbes list of top wealthiest music stars.

Every summer they have the block party, to which I am also invited but I never go. I pretty much leave town or if I stay, park my car on a street up the mountain so I can hike out of my house if I need to.

Because this party also draws the star and occasionally his superstar wife, it also draws a skazillion people who are not from the block but who are fans who hope to see their music idol. Needless to say, it is a mob scene.

The music beat of the giant speakers actually makes my house shake and there is no escaping it, not even with earplugs. That is why I sometimes just leave.

I actually like the court stenographer party. If I could have that, I would. If I couldn't, I'd go with the Chicago elite.

Anybody wanna' trade neighbor parties?


Cher

on edit: I would like to say that I actually like to see people enjoying the outdoors with a party. But there are limits, and mob scenes are one of them.

Wine was consumed? Music was played? The guys played hoops?

I really, truly fear for the future of this country.

Creeps my friends right the fuck out every time they come over.

What about that scene makes it "uber wealthy".

describing my parties. We get together will friends whenever the weather is nice. Everyone brings something, we grill, play Sapo, drink micro brews and wine. We are hardly rich or elite. A few of our friends are out of work, and we send all the leftovers home with them.

We had a Bastille Day party - with wine, merguez sausages, desserts, coffee, after dinner drinks, herbal cigarettes and pétanque. You'd have hated it.

And no, we're not rich.
Everybody brought a dish and some wine.

Doesn't take much to share food with friends.
