The Said Thread

This is a thread to voice your complements about anything- just to pass along good service, good citizenship, charitable actions, the little things that make your day go better. Here's mine:

Thanks to whoever it was that threw my newspaper from my driveway up onto my front porch. It was a nice start to the morning!

 

thank you to my neighbor who gave Beemer (my dog) a chew toy! it was a very happy 3 minutes of his life before he destroyed it. it was sweet of you to think of him.

 

When I checked my email this morning...the message I found was a sound file from my musical partner. He had recorded happy birthday for me with every instrument available, 3 part harmony, and like 20 layers of vocals. it was awesome!

 

Despite some frustrations and issues, when compared with most of the neighborhoods and planned communities in the Washington D.C. area, Broadlands really is a wonderful place to live! My wife and I have often commented about the abundance of trees and green space in Broadlands compared to other commnities, we have an abundance of retail and restaurants very conveniently located, and the majority of neighbors are friendly and look out for each other. I could go on and on extoling the virtues of B'lands!

 

I've got 2 shout-outs! Both of these guys are great neighbors and have helped me tremendously while the mister is on business travel. First, a big thanks to John for making sure my daughter walks to school safely every day and second, big thanks to David for fixing my son's walker and for the extra eye he and his wife keep on us. You guys rock!

 

Hurray for the arrival of spring and my walking buddy for keeping me moving! artydance:

 

That's OK Amy, anytime. I know you "pay" in beer!

 

Hey, thanks! Fortunately, Yuengling is readily available her in NOVA. I was referring to the good stuff from Hampton

Be carefull, hang out up there too long and you'll end up an Iggles fan!


Sorry for the hijack, now back to our regularly scheduled program -- great thread!!

 

Thanks to the 3/4 dog owners who walk on by my lawn and mailbox Without letting their dog do it's biz. Of course i did put down chili powder and Old Bay to ward them off...

 

Hooray to all the nice people in the Broadlands that help out whenever help is needed.

THANK YOU to my neighbors who called the police to report a prowler.

I am home with our toddler and saw a person running accroos our patio and a few minutes later multiple Sheriff's rang my door bell asking if I was 'alright'. They stated they got several 911 calls reporting a prowler tryig to open our garage window.

THANK YOU for looking out for your fellow neighbor.

 

yikes!!

 

Several 911 calls?

That's great. We should never assume that "someone" else has called 911 in cases like this. Glad multiple neighbours of yours helped out.

 

shout out to Silver Eagle whose local presence reminds me to lock, load and get to the range to practice SOON. :sniper:

 

Thank You to our children's fabulous teachers! I for one couldn't teach a class of 25+ kids, and so many of them do it with a smile on their faces.

 

Kudos to the teenager I saw today who was driving the speed limit, not on her cell phone, and who came to a complete stop at a stop sign while signaling which way she was turning You go girl!
