Happy Halloween (and a swift middle finger)
November 1st, 2009 by Alicia
Costumes were a hit, trick-or-treating was a success, loads of candy that will mostly be eaten by me was procured.
They looked freakin’ cute.
And, the neighborhood assholes teenagers left us a lovely “trick.” How adorable of them.
And the community we live in? Why, it’s so fabulous that not only will the homeowners association (which we pay a ridiculous amount in fees to) NOT cover the repair costs, they will also drive by and give us a ticket and a fine if we don’t have it fixed immediately. Welcome to suburbia!
So what exactly does HOA fees cover then ? Or are they just like health insuance companies
Kids look great. If I saw you out and about I couldn’t help but think to myself how you probably have your hands full with those two.

@Courtney, Apparently they don’t cover jack. Maybe some landscaping here or a pool that’s only open two months out of the year there. But nothing of substantial value to me. I have to say that I am thankful for the playgrounds in the neighborhood, so there’s that. But they could do so much more.

Oh my God, their costumes are amazing. And what a fricking joke on the mailbox. I would be livid. Guess there’s advantages to living in the ghetto… my mailbox is in the stairwell

@HeadacheSlayer, Oh, how I pine for a cement mail throne that no pumpkin or rogue firework could put a dent in. Unfortunately, our wonderful HOA requires that all the mailboxes be uniform. It’s a conspiracy.
