You know I have to admit I do have some descent neighbors. My neighbor across the street just gave us a barely used charcoil grill that he had since his wife bought him a new gas grill he didn't need this one any longer and he had seen that we had thrown out our falling down one. Isn't that nice? I am definatly going to share my produce from the garden when it comes time to harvest. Do you like your neighbors?

You really have a great neighbor! I like most of my neighbors. There are a few that I don't get along with, but thats another story. For the most part my neighbors are really nice and I get along with them really well. I always enjoy the summer because thats usually when I see most of them. Its a time that we can stand around and chat. In the winter everyone seems to hibernate and you only see them coming and going. Never time to chat - too cold! Best wishes to you and your neighbor!

For the most part, we only speak to two of our neighbors, the ones on our right and the ones behind us, and it's only every once in a while. So no complaints there, and I have spoken to the other couple that lives behind us and they are nice, they were redoing their yard, and gave me a lot of flowers for my flower bed. However, the new neighbors on our left, let's just say, I'm glad we were already looking for a house to buy! lol.

I think all of my neighbors are the best in town. They all are helping and coordinate in weekly or monthly society meetings.

Every body will like to have nice neighbor. In the event of any emergency only the nearest neighbor can be helpful. Some time the neighbor to your house is not so good and are bad in behavior and they create hell like situation. What to do. Ask about those whose neighbor are not helpful at all but create problems for the peace living people.

well sosme people or neighbor are nice and really build a good relationship towards each other, but as what i have experienced that's only nice at first, when time goes by and you started to be close each other and argument started, they will start counting those good things that they've done to you.Just careful on the neighboors coz we think that they are nice but deep inside hey just pretending coz they expecting in return from you.that's only my opinion based on my experienced.

i guess we are pretty lucky to have very nice neighbors... i remember one time when my sister was rushed to the hospital and our neighbors were there to help us out... one that's closest to our family made the initiative to drove us to the nearest hospital and his wife was at the back seat comforting my sister in pain... they even stayed at the hospital for hours just to make sure everythin's fine..

I am not the outdoorsy type of person. I rarely go out and chat or mingle with the neighbors. Not because I don't like them and don't want to get to know them but I just don't want to bother myself into doing that. Some of them are likeable and some are not. I live in a small street wherein each house is so close to each other. My husbands relatives are some of our neighbors. Some neighbors mostly just talk gossip so I don't like that. Some are just nosy. My husband talks more with the neighbors. I just hide myself in the comfort of my own home and let him do the talking since he's more of the chatty type than me. I'm glad you got nice neighbors around your place who give you stuffs. There are times our neighbors gives us food if there's someone celebrating a birthday or it's christmas or new year..Sometimes when my husbands relative cooks extra food they give us as well. One of the officers of our baranggay cooks food for the kids every sunday..It's either soup, noodles, lugaw, etc. she's ok...ever since she was elected she became good to her neighbors. Another neighbor of our sweeps the whole street and makes it clean but he's sort of ok at times and not at times as well..He's sort of a goon or what you call sort of a bad guy but goodguy at times..lol..can't explain....Anyways, I think that's just about it.

Wow that is a nice neighbor. I've had some really nice neighbors in the past but then I've had some not nice ones too. Right now even though I've lived here over a year and have met the neighbors I really don't know them - more my grandson just playing with the kids which is really nice for him.

I love our neighbors. They are totally awesome!! If we need help with something that we can't do, our neighbors are usually willing to help out. Like with digging big holes or moving big rocks around..they have a tractor with a bucket which helps us immensely. Our other neighbor has a bobcat and is always bringing over tons of horse manure for my gardens and yard and our daughter loves going over there whenever they are getting ready to go on a ride cause they usually let her ride one of the horses in the corral.

We like some of them more than others, but I must say the ones that we found most obnoxious moved away. Yayyyy! Some are really nice. I'm sure your neighbor will really appreciate that produce you are going to share, and probably some of it will taste really good on his new grill! We did have a "neighbor" once who came over and told us there was a city ordinance against grilling on our own patio. There wasn't! But she insisted there was! We had just moved there and didn't really know, so went to great lengths to check it out and there was absolutely no such ordinance at that time. It wasn't an apartment or anything, but rather a single family home and she was kitty corner across the intersection so there was no way our little bit of smoke could possibly have bothered her. Then we found out she didn't even live there. She was just employed by the actual owner.

Our neighbors? Well, if we ever had any chance in being friends with them, I guess my mom kind of ruined that. She has a temper and makes people mad. WE don't talk to any of them at all, those who are not mad at us simply do not talk to us and we do not ever see them around. It is a shame.

Well we have the nice one across the street, the one next to them are ok though he is annoying and nosey we tolerate it cause my daughter is friends with his daughter, the ones on our left are nice, but the ones on the right the only one I liked out of the entire family was the father and he has been transferred to California so it is just the wife and two girls and they are all snobs. That is a shame about your neighbors.

That was very nice. I am sure they will appreciate the produce. It is nice to know that there is still really nice people out there.

Mostly I have good neighbors, including one who will come mow half our yard and will grade the driveway when he is working on his. Ours is gravel and gets washed out from time to time. He works for utility company and has access to lots of useful equipment.

We have nice neighbors too. Often we would share food with them and they would share it with us too. Also in times of emergencies our neighbors are really more than willing to help each other.

I think that was a very nice gesture on the part of your neighbors. And that type of behavior seems to beget even better behavior among others. Being a friend can truly help you gain friends. I believe that is nice of you to prepare to give of some of your produce. I am sure that your neighbors will appreciate it.

I have some good neighbors, most of us stick to ourselves but if we need help we are willing to help each other out. I have a kooky neighbor that lives next door to me he is an older gentleman that's kind of nutty, we look out for him too when he allows us too. He used to stay in trouble with law a lots he has calmed down a lots lately. He likes to annoy people in the neighborhood. He would get up early in the morning and get in his car and blow his horn all the way down the street till he gets to the stop sign. Which is about 13 houses down the street.
