Meanwhile, back at the Redneck Ranch, the neighbors are having a HOG HUNT of their own!

Chill out, things will get handled the way they will. Just keep you and yours safe, the neighbors are back, maybe now they can finish shooting the rest of them.

...till they break through my fence they are not my problem. I just don't want that to happen....i will have a fence to repair, goats to catch and dead pigs to dispose of and then worry that the idiot wil seek revenge...we found out last night , idiot pig owner is in Kentucky HOG HUNTING.....

See? This is what I was referring to... I mean there's a LOT of things I don't want to happen... that might... There's no sense setting yourself up for a stroke or heart attack worrying over what MIGHT happen... You are all worried about all this work and expense and damage and it hasn't happened and hopefully won't!

By the way, you are a wonderful, caring person and a great neighbor! But don't wreck your health and mental well-being over stuff that's not directly affecting you and that you can (and should) do nothing about... As for the idiot whose hogs are loose while he's hog hunting... Ya just can't fix stupid...

"The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer written by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971). The best-known form is: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference."

I have to agree with @Latestarter. I know you have read about all the stuff my psycho neighbor was doing, but once I decided to let it go and take my life back, I dont have the stress or worry I once did.
As you said, you cant control stupid, but you can control you. Dont let this jerk run your life. I was in the same boat, letting some crazy nut control my emotions and peace of mind. Now, I am learning a language, enjoying my property, and have cameras stratigically placed.
The neighbors will take care of the problem. Take care if yourself.

P. S. If he is stupid enough to try to get back at you, make sure you have it on camera.

Agree, you can't fix stupid. Plus you can't fix the neighbor, and you gotta "STOP BORROWING TROUBLE".

With enough strikes against him, maybe the court will not let bad neighbor have any animals for a couple of years.

And how would they stop him? Camp out on his property and stop him from bringing animals home?

Miss @B&B Happy goats,

This may be a bit of a counter opinion, but I fully understand why you were quite concerned about the neighbor's pigs on the loose. You wanted to protect what your and your husband have worked hard to get, and you hated having some idiot neighbor just trash that. You also cared about your other neighbors' properties, as you knew that they worked hard for what they have and would hate the same thing happen to them that could have happened to you as well. So I am glad that you are finally relaxing, but I didn't think you were out of bounds for getting wound up about it, either.

Good plan. Don't get your panties in a twist unnecessarily, but have a plan for 'in case'.

 

[Mike CHS]

You are all correct, maybe it's just time to finally sit on our new back porch and watch the stupidity instead of trying to fix it, thank you all for re grounding me

This place seems to do that.

It is that hot in May?? I don't believe at all in the "must have ambient temp of 90°F the first week, etc" lie but they do need a warm place to go when they get cold.

I used to put in an early garden in late February when I lived in Pensacola with a little protection just in case. Occasionally got bit with a frost but made out more times than not.
