Are we aware of this?

I've been at our current house for a few years now and I could not tell you the names of any of our neighbors. They have not once said hi to me nor I to them from what I recall. And I am completely fine with that. I couldn't even tell you things like who lives in what house or how many people live at each house as I pretty much mind my own business. We do not have any problems with any of them and I would not allow anyone to break into their house, car and I definitely don't want anything bad to happen to any of them but I just don't particularly want to be or care if I am buddy buddy with any of them or not. But I admit to be quite a bit of an anti-social person to begin with. That is probably why things like typing on the computer, IM, Facebook, PM, email, text, etc work out best for me and is a lot more of a comfortable situation for me then talking on the phone or a face to face conversation...

It is the opposite here where I live. But we are such a family community....everyone knows everyone. We get together for holidays...play the "you got boo'd" on halloween, cookie exchange..yada yada. Whenever someone new moves in we make stuff for them...cake, cookies...something to welcome them. It is pretty tight here...but sometimes that can be a little too much as well. lol

But you can't help but to get to know everyone when our kids are all so tight. Also ....I am a big....throw a party kind of girl. I loooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeee to have parties. Why do you think I am always like...yea..cmon on down to Tucson...you can stay here.

The problem today is society has forgotten how to communicate with others. I was taught to alway great my neighbors. Even as a young child, Dad would pop me on the back of the head if we walked by a neighbor and I didn't greet them. I too was taught to say yes maam, no maam, yes sir, no sir. There was no yeap or yeah. If I did, I got a much stronger slap on the back of the head.

Take the time to say hello to everyone you meet. It will amaze you how big a smile you'll get in return.

We have lots of great conversations via facebook chat and PM here so I see no need to ruin it and completely embarrass myself with an awkward conversation on the phone - lol. Feel free to text me though

PM me or hit me up on facebook chat - lol. I have your phone number so I would imagine you have mine as well. If you go on facebook on your phone and click on your friends my number is next to my name (or my wifes number). Our phone numbers are the same except her last two digits is 40 and mine is 41. Shaun (prototype) gave me his number but I already had it due to that feature also. BTW I talk to him and Charlie through text No awkward phone conversations for me with them either

I actually thinnk about this often but it seems like Ive just resigned myself to this is the way things are now. When I was a kid my neighbors had special treats for me on Halloween and all the kids hung out and we knew all the people on our blocks. Today even the area I grew up in is completely different and noone knows anyone. I try to say hello to my neighbors when I see them now but its very different. I always hoped when I got my own house I would have good neighbors that I would sit on the patio with and have a drink on a FRI night or just BBQ with after work but no luck so far. Everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. Oh well such is society these days I guess
