The bad thing is the rancor you described does have "control" over your life other than just during a very unpleasant meeting. Other side of the coin is who will voice reasonableness if not you?rcothernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666493558651227557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580978899269996730.post-83044945348430160242011-02-20T16:54:19.532-05:002011-02-20T16:54:19.532-05:00This is exactly why we chose to live in an old, es...This is exactly why we chose to live in an old, established neighborhood.
