When you say you're working on an new proposal, is that a book proposal or media kit proposal for the next target?

The only proposal that matters here is the pitch for Google to buy CoH.

didn't Mr. T from the A-team buy google at some point?

I seem to remember reading about that, if he still owns it he would definitely be sympathetic to our cause, I heard he's a real outstanding guy.

As long as you don't happen to be a tree on his property.  I used to live in Illinois and he cut down almost all of the trees on a plot he bought...The community was in an uproar!  ???  I say, it was HIS property!

Except for the impact it has on the other properties. His action de-valued his neighbors home by an average of 5%. When your value of land is partially based on "wooded reserves" and someone eliminates the woods, several thousand dollars out of your pocket for a neighbors act.

Of course it ultimately turned out to be a case of allergies, the actor was allergic to the blooms of one of the trees on his property.

You made me remember a service we have for corporate restaurant. You can recharge your account there by check or cash at the counter, but you can also go on the website and pay by credit card. Except that the website is open only Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm >_> Looks like even the servers have working hours.

I never understood that uproar. It's his property, he was allergic, and if it was that much of a value why not just plant some more trees on their own property? Or why not was the property bought prior to his purchase? Too much worrying about what neighbors do with their own proprty instead of just minding their own business.

I had a neighbor who stored old batteries, dumping the acid along the edge of its property. It leaked out, and killed my mother in laws dog.

What was told to her before her dog died when she complained about the battery acid storage?

"Mind your own business, it's on our property."

The problem with this thinking is that many things don't recognize property lines.

[Ironwolf]

and cutting down some trees is now likened to killing a dog..........do you work for the White house?

If it crossed over property lines then of course it is your business. But a tree, that is no where near the property line how is that the neighbor's business? And I doubt the precence or absence of a tree will kill a dog. Unless the tree fell over onto your property side and killed the dog, but then again it crossed onto your property and again it's your business.

People that dont mind their business is the ones that have no knowledge of property lines. That line is where their nose should end until something crosses that line, then it should be none of their concern unless invited. Unless of course the person is a good neighbor and pay the neighbor who business they like to be in's bills, property tax and the price of the property itself. Then by all mean, stick the nose as far as ya want but if they isnt paying a single penny towards that property then quite frankly that property is not theirs to worry about.

I have no issue with him cutting down trees. I was more pointing out that "mind your own business" if it is not off-property is not always appropriate.

Yeah depends on situation but at the same time, it's no free license to be nosy and try to dictate what another does with their own property. Depends greatly on the situation. If it's something that is harming your dog. Dang right, it's ya business. But if it's something as simple as a tree, that is property owner business.

Indeed. Just don't paint with a broad brush.

Let us use the tree example. Let's say the property was on the side of the hill, and the trees were what maintained the terrain? One strong storm, erosion would pile up your property, at the bottom of the hill, with soil erosion, or even worse, at the top of the hill and it exposes your foundation, opening your property up to potential frost ground damage to the foundation.

It's not always black and white. It must be done on a case-by-case basis.

Those cases are far and few in between. But in general neighbors should stay out of each other business. 90% of the time, it's just a neighbor being overly nosy and concerned with what the person next door is doing or sleeping with and no worries about property damage or erosion. Sure, supposed the only thing stopping a giant mudslide is on a property of someone who hates trees, but cut down that tree it will wipe out the whole neighborhood. Worry then. But, like most cases, flat land, no effect on next door, people are being nosy just to be nosey for the hell of it.

Besdies those few extreme examples, there is no reason for a neighbor to be sticking his nose over my fence.
