Hey someone finally answered the phone at the tree company! Their excuse was that they "are behind schedule due to some city jobs that came up". THEN FREAKING CALL AND LET ME KNOW!

Chaser-They are requiring I take down a section of fence on the side of the house. I should be good with not taking the post out right?

Sometimes I wonder how I am related to my siblings. I wrote what I thought to be a very reasonable post on facebook, and my brother sends me a barrage of text messages this morning, saying if I was mad at him I should have called rather than making snide remarks on facebook.

I can't win.

I thought what you wrote was very well worded. I'm struggling with a few of my friends on "the other side" that are equally lacking in grace as winners...I've been biting my tongue since Tuesday night, trying to put into words what I'm feeling without making people think I'm directing it at them. Even though some of it may be obliquely directed at them. ;)

I mean, it was a little inspired by, but not completely directed at him. I apologized to him, but he's acting like a child so I doubt that I will get one in return.

Can't choose family, but at least I have amazing friends.
