We moved into a house a few years ago, and quickly became aware of a neighbor who LOVES to work on his lawn, for several hours a day. This includes using loud equipment like a gas lawn mower, leaf blower, and weed wacker. No biggie. We went over and talked to him last year, and he agreed to use the loud equipment less, which he has, but it’s still more frequent than most other houses in our area (think 2-3 days a week for 2-3 hours each time). However, our other neighbor recently hired someone to take care of their lawn, and this person is out there for around 1-2 hours at a time (so far only once a week) mowing the lawn with a push mower, leaf blowing the clippings into the street and weed wacking god knows what. No electric equipment. All gas, and all very loud. To the point where I have to close my windows when I am on meetings because I cannot hear anything else. I am going crazy. Between these two neighbors and everyone else, I probably hear lawn mowers and other equipment for a solid 10 hours out of my week.
I reached out to someone at the city, and they basically told me there is nothing they can do. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? I would love for Madison to adopt a law making all gas mowers obsolete (like a lot of other cities are doing around the country) as the electric ones are generally pretty quiet and tolerable. I’m sure I’m not the only one to have this issue. Maybe there’s enough of us out there to petition for a local law to be passed that prohibits gas mowers? Thoughts?

I have a full sun garden where I've planted Bee Balm, which is going nuts! I've planted a few different breeds, and there's a plant in my garden that looks a lot like bee balm but I'm not sure if it's a sneaky weed!
The plants I'm sure are bee balm have all the marks of it: square fuzzy stem, fuzzy serrated leaves growing opposite of each other. My mystery plant looks similar but not quite the same. Similar leaves, but a rounder stem and not as fuzzy (but still a little fuzzy on the stem and leaf). What do you think? Just a different breed of bee bakm? Or something I should yank? The mystery plant is invading other parts of my garden and I've been saving anything I pulled but I want to make sure it's not a problem weed before sharing it with friends.

So I i live on a suburban cul-de-sac. Nice single family houses, everyone maintains their yards, front and back, cutting their grass regularly, cute gardens, trimmed shrubs, etc., except the neighbor right next door to me. NEVER picks up his dogs shit in his FRONT yard (HUGE dog, the neighborhood kids treat it like an active minefield), just mowed yesterday after letting his grass get nearly two feet tall, then left the grass clippings on the sidewalk, hes cut down all the trees on his property, his backyard that i have never once seen him in looks like an abandoned city lot, just dirt and weeds covering a gently sloping hill. Not a big backyard by any means but we both back up to woods. You get the picture. He has a right to do with his property as he wishes I suppose even though his property is a literal eye sore in our tiny hood. My question is, if I were to do something like load my leaf blower with wild flower seeds, stick it over the fence and turn it on, thus dispersing them over his pitiful yard that's sucking the beauty out of my yard and gardens, would I be the asshole? To be honest, I doubt he would even notice and he would just think it happened naturally...I'm willing to bet his wife would even make a FB post at some point remarking how beautiful their yard looked lmao. Would I be the asshole?
And let me add that the other alternative is to turn him into the town and let them force him to neaten his property up, clean up the trash, etc. If I do that, I will DEFINITELY be the asshole. But after a decade of looking at his bleak landscape on the other side of my fence, one of these rwo things us happening this summer.

Does kelated iron in concentrated form kill broadleaf weeds? Ie . Concentrated Weed Begone.

This has been a wild fucking ride, but honestly, I'm glad everything worked out exactly as it did. I don't regret anything, including my attempt, but I'm glad I didn't die. Really.
I planned on killing myself because I was going to be homeless on the streets in CT, and I couldn't handle it. I had explored every possible option, including a green card marriage in exchange for somewhere to stay. After my 211 intake where I was told the most they could do was put me on a waitlist for a shelter and would still be on the streets for 4-6 weeks (if they didn't magically lose my info like they did every time I've ever tried to do anything through 211), I told her no thanks, I'd just km. I sharpened my knife on a Monster Beast can while I waited for the bus. I was going to try to figure out how to score heroin and take it all at the hotel, but the police showed up. Long story short, I cut my neck open in front of them.
A week later, I left the psych ward with 7 stitches in my neck, only one adjustment/addition to my current medication (I take Effexor and started taking Prazosin for my PTSD/night terrors - it seems to be working!), 4 new friends, and a lot of anger for my social worker who failed to inform me that I could just go to a homeless shelter in NYC and not be on the fucking streets, which would have been all I needed to not try to off myself. One of my new friends is a homeless crackhead with a heart of gold (we'll call him Sargeant bc there was a lady in the psych ward who gave us all nicknames, so I will be referring to all my psych ward friends by their nicknames) and I adore him. He gave me a bag of weed, two chocolate THC edibles, and $110 when we got out. So now I'm at a women's shelter in NYC, and I'm comfortable with it. I'm bonding with a lot of the other women here, I get a lot of compliments on accessories I make and wear around, one woman paid me to make a few custom bracelets for her friend who's here too for Mother's Day today and watching her give them to her was so beautiful...I could go on and on, but so many other great things have happened too.
I've tried a few new foods I've always wanted! I was telling one of my friends in the psych ward (General) that I always wanted to try lengua and never understood people's aversion to it. He picked me up from the hospital when I was discharged and took me to the food trucks at Long Wharf in New Haven, and the truck he chose had it! I had it on tacos and it was soo good. Then I realized while I was at the shelter that I'm in NYC and can get a chopped cheese like, anywhere. So I did, and then I got another one the next day because it was so good.
Also, my birthday is tomorrow, and I went out with General, Mom, and Jesus to celebrate - my psych ward friends. We went to Coney Island, rode the Cyclone, the go-karts, and walked on the beach. We drove through Times Square, and I stuck my head out the sunroof like I've always wanted to do. It was so nice to all be together again but not in the psych ward, lmao. It was a perfect day, and I was happy to be living it.

I was wondering of it is ok to wear the 4 leave clover braclet ik some pepole think of it as luck but I just think it is pretty and also cool dew to the genetics of a 4 leafe clover are a resive trait

This little guy is about 6 years old. Bloomed beautifully this spring and now that it's leafing out, the leaves seem to be drying up before they can mature. As you can see in the photo The top of the tree has plenty of leaves, it's the lower leaves that seem to be a problem. We're in zone 7B it gets about 6 hours of light. We've had quite a bit of rain lately so I don't think it's too dry? And we also have a lawn service that fertilizes the lawn. Could that be an issue? I also have some sap weeping at the bottom of the trunk, I plan to do tree goop on it, as I've done it before and it worked well. I believe this is physical damage from the mower or weed eater and have eliminated that problem by surrounding it with pavers. Any input as to what I might do to help this guy pull through would be greatly appreciated!

I read this story about 2 years ago, so my memory might be a little hazy of it.
From what I can remember, the premise was that Naruto barely managed to graduate from the academy early (by 1 point) and was put on a team filled with OCs. When the other students in Naruto's class find out about this, Sasuke's influence basically causes almost everyone (especially Sakura) to genuinely believe that Naruto dropped out of the academy and is just faking being a shinobi.
I remember that Naruto's team goes to Kiri for their chunin exams, and Naruto fails the 2nd stage due to the death of a couple of his leaf comrades and his team being far too injured to continue. After that my memory is fuzzy (I want to say that both of Naruto's teammates managed to pass the following chunin exams in Iwa), but I do remember the story splits off into two different fics:

• The main timeline where Naruto gets transferred to Kakashi's Team 7 (against his will) and has to deal with fanon!Sasuke and fanon!Sakura
• and an AU timeline where fanon!Sakura and fanon!Sasuke are on Naruto's original team with his sensei.

Reason why I'm asking is cause I never got to finish it, the only thing I remembered the most about the fic was how Naruto dropped facts and logic on both Sakura and Sasuke to get it through their thick skulls about why most genin fresh out of the academy fail, and the importance of Teamwork. I even have that whole interaction saved somewhere in a google doc. It started at: "You passed the test meant to weed out the hopeless incompetents." There's also the scene where Naruto's OC Jonin-sensei has a talk with Sakura about her long hair and during that conversation, he brings up how Madara is able to get away with it because to people like him, having long hair is considered a flex. Both of these were in the AU fic.

Hey there!
I'm a 25 y.o. med student (soon-to-be resident) currently living in Tunisia. I'm looking to make new connections from anywhere, to chat with and to get to know and if possible to have an intimate relationship with.
Writing and elaborating ideas in text isn't my best trait, especially when the actual writing paragraph is about myself, so here's my best shot at describing myself:

• I'm 178cm (i.e. 5'11), my BMI is 22.7, not overweight nor skinny & I have short brown hair and brown eyes. Here are some photos
  
• My hobbies are various: gaming (mostly solo games), long walks, hiking, camping, cycling, watching movies/series/animes & reading books. I also like to travel when I can afford it.
  
• I'm a big lover of adventure and discovery and I take any opportunity to do that when able. I'm more of a nature lover than a city boy if I can do that. Sitting in silence listening to the sounds of water flowing, of the wind blowing at the tree leafs, and birds' chirping and the crickets singing is definitely my thing.
  
• I'm a person that is very fond of learning new stuff about right anything (especially anything relating to medicine and my line of work), even if I'm not initially curious about it. It's one of the reasons that I don't care much if the person I'm with is from somewhere different than I am. I'm open to know more about other people and their cultures.
  
• As for the introvert/extrovert label, I don't really know myself. At times I can be as outgoing, goofy, funny and sarcastic as one can be, and other times I like to stay home and do my own thing.
  
• My love language is quality time. I feel that it's hard to connect with someone if I don't spend time with them and feel their presence. That's why I prefer calls and facetime over texts in a relationship context. I'm also a sucker for deep talks.
  
• I'm all for LDR (as I'm not planning to stay where I currently live for the rest of my life), but if you're currently in Tunisia then all the better!
  

I hope this can give you a good initial idea about myself. Now, on to what I want:

• I would prefer to connect with someone with similar interests and maintains a healthy lifestyle, especially when it comes to outdoor activities. It doesn't need to be hardcore though.
  
• I would very much like to take my time to know a person before moving on to the next step of the relationship.
  
• Smoking, drinking, weed, and other drug use is a dealbreaker.
  
• I would love to connect with someone with no children.
  

Send me a message with your picture telling me a random fact about yourself or something you love.

What I remember about love When I was young: Kettledrums Played the same way Since antiquity That summer played them Like mandolins
In early June, more cicadas are born Than there are other souls on earth Howling for just one Each dog-day harvest-fly Is known as the Lyreman
Born underground with no vocal chords, no lungs The child is not mine, Ready to deafen the heavens she tells me With the appeals of their bodies Cheers between screams
By late July, they have all died Leaving behind countless reminders: A song was just noise Until it became the first time You collapsed behind your eyes
Leaf beds of corpses with the same face, same name The child is not mine, Tall weeds drying in silence she tells me Our home is wet with violence Only screaming
Quiet husks clinging to the trees Empty strength dissolving in the wind The child is not mine, she told me And gave birth to a memory: What I remember about love When I was young.

Day 16: Dawning upon me

Ok, time for some final preparations. I decided the easiest one was to get ochette’s beasts. The first and most important one is the dark manta. This one is on the sea. It deals AOE dark damage and increases elemental attack. That’s very useful to help buff my party.
Anyways, I equipped more rare monster, along with evil ward on Osvald, and searched for it at night. After around 10 encounters, I got into an encounter with one.
I used Empoison with hikari and used provoke beasts with ochette to break with mahina. I used donate BP with Partitio on ochette and analyze with Osvald to check its HP (which was 5030).
Next turn, Partitio used darkest night without boosts to deal 1000 damage, Ochette used provoke beasts with mahina but it didn’t break because one of them didn’t hit a weakness, so hikari had to come in with elemental bomb to break it. It’s now at yellow HP, so I should be able to get it next turn.
I defend with everyone except ochette and then fully boost with capture and it was a 100% chance so I got it, replacing it with my old assassin bug. That thing was the first monster I caught but I literally never used it because I remembered beastly howl.
Anyways, now it’s time to go cait hunting. First I travelled back to tropuhapu to break into someone’s house with hikari and obtain some cait powder.
I then got the other cait powder by fast travelling to clockbank and doing the “my beloved Catherine” side quest, which was quite easy as all I needed to do was befriend the quest giver with ochette and go to the next screen.
I equipped both cait powders on Osvald, gave him evil ward and gave ochette more rare monsters. I then fast travelled over to crackridge and began looking for caits at night.
I did also get negotiate schedule on Partitio while looking for caits as it was taking awhile. It’s his first ex skill and I don’t know why I put it off for so long. It effectively gives him an extra turn and deletes the enemy’s turn for leaves, which we have plenty of.
Ok, uh, literally right after I got negotiate schedule I found the cait. I used darkest night with Partitio for 20 damage… and the kill. Come on! Ok, lesson learned, don’t damage it with Partitio.
Ok, it’s been about 30 encounters now with no caits. I decided to head back to the shrine to see if that somehow helps with my cait encounter rate.
Ok, after about 5 more encounters, I got one. Partitio fully boosts with his latent power to use negotiate schedule on the cait. Hikari uses lightning falls on the cait for 24 damage and the kill. Crap! Ok, I’m unequipping their elemental equipment.
Ok, it didn’t take too long to encounter another cait. Hikari uses lightning falls for 7 damage, knocking it to red health. Partitio then uses donate BP on ochette with 1 boost and Ochette fully boosts with capture at a 100% chance to get the cultured cait. I replace it with the treant and beat the rest of the monsters up.
That was a lot harder than I expected. I probably should have unequipped the elemental equipment earlier. Anyways, next up on my list is for hikari to get the learned skill vacant stare. It’s from an elderly lady in crackridge funnily enough, and it was very easy with compound formulae due to her low level. Vacant stare lowers elemental defence, so in a way it’s a more reliable beastly howl.
Anyways, I decided it was finally time for the conjurerer. The conjurerer has very useful skills and is a good job for Ochette as it gives the highest HP boost, in addition to a staff. It’s in Ku and I have to beat 5 bosses to get it. Luckily it isn’t consecutive, so I can actually fast travel and rest to restore my latent power.
I’m going into the tower with cleric throné, arcanist Osvald, armsmassti, and inventor hikari. Let’s do this.
The first trial was against Gken (that’s not a typo, that’s his really name). Castti was up first and used icicle for 3337 damage, hikari was next and used compound formulae for 3300 damage. Throné then used veil of darkness for 1845 damage and Osvald used elemental barrage for around 3000 damage.
Throné used veil of darkness again as Gken used fluid stance… which set up 5 reflects. Uh oh. Hikari used Empoison and Castti concocted a forget me do and a weed, removing the reflects and lowering his elemental attack. Osvald used analyze, revealing he has 16667 HP but no elemental weaknesses.
Hikari then fully boosted with vacant stare to lower his elemental defence for 4 turns. Gken used purple lightning which dealt 1000 damage and caused everyone except Castti to be knocked unconscious. What the heck? I thought this guy was easy. Castti then fully boosted with her latent power using a grape leaf, a cleansing leaf, a pomegranate leaf, a diffusing serum and a strengthen serum to heal and remove ailments.
Next turn, hikari used compound formulae at 2 boost for around 9200 damage. Gken then used cleave in 2 which hit and dealt some damage to hikari. Gken is now at red health, so throné fully boosted with darkest night for win with 14000 damage.
Onto trial 2 with the snake charmer, ichchadhari. Hikari was up first and used compound formulae for around 2800 damage but no shields. Throné used veil of darkness for 1651 damage and Castti uses icicle for 3106 damage. Osvald then used elemental barrage for around 3400 damage and knocked off 2 shields. It seems like it’s only weak to lightning.
The snake charmer then summoned her snake and locked her weaknesses, While missing a paralyzing fang on throné. Hikari used compound formulae for around 3000 damage, knocking a shield off the snake. Throné then used luminescence for around 1500 damage, knocking off a shield from the snake. Castti defended for later and Osvald used the one true magic 2 for 4600 damage and broke the snake.
Next turn, Castti fully boosted, using a plum leaf, a whimsical leaf, a pomegranate leaf, a diffusing serum and a strengthen serum to bring everyone up. Hikari then fully boosted with compound formulae for 10400 and killing the snake. Throné then used her latent power, using a fully boosted veil of darkness on the first for 6705 damage and the second with a 2 boost veil of darkness for 4900 damage. Osvald then fully boosted with his latent power, using the one true magic 2 for around 42000 damage and the win.
Ok, trial 3 with Tyran the seeker. Throné is up first and uses veil of darkness for 2177 damage and knocks off a shield. Hikari uses compound formulae for around 3400 damage and knocks off 2 shields. Osvald uses fire storm for 4000 damage and knocks off 2 shields, as Castti uses 2 darkdelions to knock off 2 shields for around 2500 damage.
Castti then uses another 2 darkdelions to break Tyran for around 3000 damage this time. Throné uses a plum basket to get everyone’s SP up, hikari uses critical scope for extra damage, and Osvald uses advanced magic on throné.
Next turn, Osvald fully boosts with his latent power using the one true magic 2 for 105000 damage and the win. To put that into perspective, that’s half of Vide’s phase one health. So yeah, that’s a lot.
Anyways, trial 4 is with Auðnvarg (I’ll call him Aardvark because that’s easier to spell). Anyways, throné is up first and uses veil of darkness for 1699 damage and his skull roller is killed. Osvald uses elemental barrage for around 3000 damage and knocks off 2 shields. Castti the concocts 2 lilies of light dealing around 2500 damage and knocking off 2 shields. Hikari then 1 boosts with elemental bomb, as I know I won’t break it before it acts if I don’t do it, to knock off 4 shields for around 2000 damage.
Throné then uses holy light for 2355 damage and the break on aardvark. Osvald then uses advanced magic on throné, just in case. Castti then uses icicle for 6153 damage and hikari uses critical scope.
Next turn, throné fully boosts with radiance for around 19000 damage. Hikari then uses vacent stare on aardvark to lower elemental defence, just so that I can see how much damage Osvald can do. Castti then uses icicle at full boost for 46600 damage, knocking it to red health. Osvald then fully boosts with his latent power, but unfortunately he’s too low on SP for the one true magic so he instead uses benediction for around 94000 damage and the kill on aardvark. Just imagine that with the one true magic. I get the feeling it’d do max damage.
Ok, final trial with priestess Hinoekargura. Osvald uses resentment to knock off 2 shields and deal 3600 damage. Throné uses veil of darkness for 2130 damage and another shield off. Hikari uses compound formulae for around 3000 damage and a shield off. Castti then uses 2 dark delions for 2400 damage and knocks off 2 shields.
Throné then uses darkest night for 2762 damage and the break. Osvald uses a medium plum on himself for some SP, hikari uses critical scope, and Castti uses icicle for 7405 damage.
Next turn, Osvald fully boosts with his latent power, using the one true magic for around 105000 damage, knocking her to yellow health. Throné then uses her latent power, fully boosting a darkest night for 21300 damage and using a veil of darkness for 4025 damage. Hikari then fully boosts with compound formulae for around 29000 damage. Castti then uses her latent power, using 4 bluster blooms and a strengthening serum for… 4 damage? What?
Hinoekargura uses conjure flames then attacks hikari for around 1300 fire damage. She then changes to her demon form. Osvald then uses elemental barrage for around 2500 damage, throné uses holy light for 2892 and a shield. Castti then uses 2 lilies of light for… 2 damage? What the heck is happening?! She has insane elemental attack. Hikari then uses empoison in hopes it somehow kills her.
Hinoekargura ends up killing everyone with a fiery dance. What the heck happened to castti’s concocts? She was dealing good damage in the previous fights and it’s not like the priestess has high elemental defence. Ok, let’s go in again for round 2.
First up for round 2 is throné, who uses darkest night for 2762 damage and a shield off. Osvald uses blizzard for 4000 damage and 2 shields off. Hikari then uses critical scope and Castti uses 2 darkdelions for 2 damage.
Throné uses her latent power, using darkest night twice for the break and around 7000 damage. Osvald then uses a medium plum on himself, castti uses icicle for 7400 damage and hikari uses vacant stare at 1 boost to lower her elemental defence for 2 turns.
Next turn, hikari one boosts with Empoison to set up poison for 4 turns, Osvald fully boosts with the one true magic 2 and his latent power for 15600 damage. Not max, but still a lot and it knocks her to red. Throné then fully boosts with darkest night for the win with 32000 damage.
Ok, that was an interesting fight. I’m still curious why the concocts dealt such low damage to her. I hope that doesn’t cause any problems. Anyways, I equip ochette with the conjurerer job and give her the bellowing baton. This will make her thunderbird a bit more potent (if she ever uses it).
I also get all of the conjurerer skills. This allows her to get SP saver (which is very useful for provoke beasts) and BP regeneration. This allows her to effectively spam provoke beasts. Throné unfortunately doesn’t have enough JP to get BP regeneration, so that’s a bit sad.
Anyways, I think it’s time for some of hikari’s other learned skills. Turns out, Plukk is actually weaker than the shield thief guy at only 5 challenge. I was able to beat them easily. Not in one turn like the elderly lady but it was still very easy with compound formulae, lightning falls, and elemental bottle.
This got me the learned skill “let’s end this” which I replaced with Hachimonjigiri, as it’s a sword skill and I can’t use it. Now all I have left in my preparations is shield thief and another monster. Shield thief is obviously very hard so I need a lot of jams.
I fast travelled back to cropdale and fought a villager with ochette. The specific villager I fought can drop refreshing jams 20% of the time. Someone told me about her last playthrough and she was very useful. She’s also quite weak at only a challenge of 1.
I fought her until I got 10 then went back to winterbloom to fight the shield thief guy. The first time I forgot the apothecary job. On the second attempt, I gave hikari the apothecary job along with alpione’s amulet and deal more damage in hopes of it turning the tides if things go south.
With the second attempt, I was able to win with Empoison and weak to poison, along with 5 refreshing jams. The extra damage from alpione’s didn’t help but the extra HP definitely did help a lot. I ended up replacing vacant stare with shield thief, as critical scope did effectively the same thing but better.
I also got SP saver on hikari, which will be extremely useful with shield thief and even compound formulae. With Melia’s amulet, hikari can effectively use his skills all day.
Anyways, the final thing I need is the light sentinel Mk.2, which is in the shrine of ulsterra. This will help break Vide’s final phase, where I can use multishine to break vide almost immediately.
The guard at the entrance was very easy and after several encounters I found it. Hikari used compound formulae which broke both the sentinels in the encounter. Agnea used elemental barrage killing one sentinel but lowering another’s HP to red. Perfect.
Next turn ochette was able to capture it with ease. I replaced the snow drake, as I feel like it not having a secondary effect is holding it back and I need multishine more.
I forgot one item, and it’s in merry hills near the entrance to the shrine of ulsterra funnily enough. It’s called the empowering necklace, and I give it to hikari to help him be a better supportive tank.
Anyways, so that’s all the errands I need to do for the dawn. I think now I’ll share my team’s set up as it probably won’t change much during the dawn. So here they are:

Now that that’s over with, it’s time to do the cross paths. All of them have no bosses, except for ochette’s and Castti’s. There are some fights in 2 of the second ones (Osvald and hikari’s) if something interesting happens, I’ll tell you about it. Otherwise, assume it went without much issue.
So something interesting happened during Temenos’ and throne’s chapter. In the cavern of the sun and moon, I encountered a chubby cait. Partitio was able to dispatch it with a staggering 198 damage. This still doesn’t get throné enough JP for BP regeneration. I need 12000 and I only have ~8000. Still though, it should be soon.
I forgot about the skill that Yomi gives you called Forlorn requiem. It’s an AOE ice attack that has a chance to sleep. I replace it with lightning falls, as it’s kinda not as good anymore. Plus forlorn requiem is also powered by the battle tested axe, so I shouldn’t be losing much power.
Anyways, next up is ochette and castti’s crosspath. This one is the only one with a true boss fight. I decided that I’m going in with armsmassti, conjurerer ochette, arcanist Osvald, and thief Partitio. Let’s do this.
First up against the creeping shadow is Castti who uses icicle for 2600 damage. Ochette then uses provoke beasts to summon 2 light sentinels and 1 cait, knocking off 4 shields and giving an additional 1 BP to all (perfect). Osvald uses elemental barrage, breaking it for 3400 damage. Partitio then 2 boosts with ember for 14500 damage. Next turn, Osvald fully boosts and uses his latent power with the one true magic 2 for the win with around 59000 damage. Nice.
Now all that’s left is the dawn. I restock up on materials for concoctions like grape leafs, plum leafs, pomegranate leafs, lilies of light, etc. Aswell as medium grapes and plums.
I think this is where I’ll end the session today. I save right in front of where the start of the Dawn will happen. I’m not entering right now because I might have missed a few things, Though I think it won’t really matter as Osvald and temenos are already pretty insane and I’ve prepared pretty darn well. Anyways have a great day/evening and stay safe.
Levels and subjobs at the end of the session:

• Cleric Throné: 52
• Arcanist Osvald: 50
• Merchant Temenos: 51
• Scholar Agnea: 51
• Thief Partitio: 50
• Inventor Hikari: 51
• Armsmaster Castti: 50
• Conjurerer Ochette: 50

My wife and I have lived in the same house for 6 years and our neighbor two doors down has been a menace.
When we first moved in he genuinely yelled at us for not keeping our flower beds weeded. He would yell at us for all kinds of innocuous nonsense for the first two years until I just scared him with recording him on my phone.
When we have people over after 9, without a doubt, he calls the police. He called so many times I got the local prosecutor to threaten him with a felony charge of “abuse of the 911 system.”
When he walks by us he stares angrily. When we sit on our porch he puts his hands on his hips and watches us.
He’s said so many off color things to our neighbors that they introduced us to him as “Bigot Bob.”
So when today as we walked from our car to house, he collapsed in his front yard holding a leaf blower, a straight slam of hip to paved walkway, I started to book it over there to help him up. My wife immediately asserted under her breath, “don’t go pick him up!” So I paused and looked at her astonished. He starts to get up and embarrassed I walked inside and look out to make sure he also made it in his house.
My wife and I got in an argument because she thinks we shouldn’t help him out because he has genuinely been an asshole to us for years. I just think if you see an elderly man fall it’s human decency to go pick him up even if he sucks.
Now I’m disappointed in myself and my wife, who’s doubled down on her stance and I asked to take a breather and am now wondering, AITAH?
Edit: Thanks for taking the time to offer your perspectives. It helped me get out of my head and apologize to my wife for invalidating her gut reaction given all our history with him. She’s valid. She apologized for policing my actions. Anyway, be good to your neighbors so it doesn’t become a moral dilemma when you need help.
