Argh. So basically I found out there were 4 break ins on my road in the last week. I mean within 1/16th of a mile. I went to H dad (next door) to tell them. We have 2- 4wheelers sitting outside. I said those need put up- they are stealing them too.
Nothing out of the way. He says- Will you allow me to? Of course, he was snide. I said Of course, why wouldn't I? Well all you want to do is fight with me. Next thing I know he is screaming I didn't really get mad I did get sort of hateful though. I said it really would be nice if you didn't base your feelings of me on what other people are saying to get you riled up. He started laughing at me. Calling me stupid. Accusing me of fighting. As I said, I still hadn't raised my voice or anything he was shouting. I said I am not fighting or shouting even flat tone. Finally, I said (this is the mean part) You know she and her family are notorious trash. I guess I should feel sorry for you because actually you're just pitiful and walked away.

That was not good. I let myself be baited yet again. I did better than my previous self but not good.
