Thanks, you guys! I feel so much better hearing other people's stories. Yeah, this guy is kind of the "designated asshole" in the neighborhood (he's yelled at everyone at some point in time), but that fact alone doesn't make me feel all the way better. My husband is a master at "verbal judo" and has been able to totally disarm this guy for the time being, so I don't think I'll have to resort to sharing my wine with him!!! =) We've only lived in the neighborhood (we bought our first home) since October, so I hope that over time people will chill out.
Thanks, again, for everything & I am so grateful for the support!!
