[crazyworld]

Sorry everyone....my intent wasn't to bring in politics here it was just that I was frustrated because I had gone there. Just venting my stress.

Some people are just animals.

some of those people try to justify their party and their man. When they can no longer defend them.....they go off on a tangent making NOOOOOO sense but just coming across as argumentive.

Thanks Aksarben. I was so frustrated and angry. That is what I should of done but the guys tone rubbed me the wrong way. He sounded like mickey mouse with an attitude.
I'm going to my bank today. They have a copy of the check that cleared the back. So apparently they cashed the check and now harrassing me. The called 4 times last night but with caller ID.....I let it ring.
It was obviously a stupid mistake on discover part. I had the proof right in front of me and wanted tosend it to them.

I’m not sure if I’m angry or not,,,,, there’s some new graffiti painted in the common area of the neighborhood so I’m volunteering my services (again) to get it removed today. I’ve got the touch up paint ~ now we’ll see if it matches and I can paint over the graffiti.

You should be really mad about this. Our city has a "hot Line to call when graffiti needs to be removed and they get right on it.

Two weeks ago the PD busted 17 kids doing their thing. Parents are no liable for the cost of cleaning it up. About $20K.

have you check to see if your area has a graffiti unit? I know it sounds strange but we have a graffiti/gang unit locally and through them you can get paint and supplies for free to take care of any graffiti. Also check into your local kid clubs to see if they will assist if it is a big problem. Normally they like to in public places since groups like the boy scout and girl scouts get merit badges.
Good luck

The highway Dept does the graffiti clean up thing up here, Painted lover initials on rocks are the nuisance.

Yes,,, our city has a graffiti hot line and email service to report to. I’ve been using them over the past several years, however this time it was a little here and a little there as well the color of paint that they used blended in and was hard to see for the city workers to find and paint over. I figured I could do it quickly and easily without notifying them this time. I always have had good luck with reporting to the city hot line and they’ve always taken care of the issue when it’s larger and identifiable areas of graffiti.

cool kuudo's to you!

I paint my yard fence in a dark grey really cut out my gaffiti problem..... they have to have lighter color paint for it to be seen by the masses. They can get very inventive once in a while.

One day I went to work and saw that I had been hit again. I was my usual oh crap got tagged again all in white . didn't call it in that time... should have just got my dk grey paint and brush out went to paint over it. When I took a closer look at the handy work I had to laugh. the artist/tagger used white sidewalk chaulk! So I brushed most of it off and painted over what little stayed. Laughing the whole time.

I wonder if trying to stop them by of painting out the graffiti we wouldn’t be better off to add a little comment to their works of art? Example: they spray paint the words “NorthSide” or “Bloods” and we add our own little touch to their work by painting next to it or just below it ~ “are sissy boys” or “are bed wetters”. They may not like the additions to their work anymore then we like to see their names painted. I’m sure that it could bring a laugh to all of those who drive by and see it. LOL The kids who do this would surely think about going elsewhere instead of our neighborhood.

At some point in time we would have to paint out all of it anyway but it might get their attention that they don't want to paint my wall or fence.
