The Neighbors have 13 CARS

sillygirlsd @sillygirlsd (959) • United States 5 Jan 07

So the 2 houses next to mine are 2 2bedroom houses. They are rented by 2 families. The first house has 6 people living in it and they own or have 8 cars. The second house is also a 2 bedroom and has 2 adults and 3 children and...

bargainbetty In certain cities and states, there is a max # of people that are allowed to live in a dwelling. It sounds like a 2 bedroom with 6 people may be over the limit. That is ridiculous and the amount of cars that they have is unreal. I bet that there are more...

bargainbetty It is too bad that people find a way to "cheat" at just about any situation! I believe in karma. What goes around comes around. You do good, you get good. You do dirt, you get dirt! Their day will come.

Is anyone watching this Season of the Real World??

angelface23 @angelface23 (2494) • United States 7 Dec 06

I think it is the most dramatic season yet. I mean it's already on the 3rd episode and Alex is sleeping with everyone and Davis is calling people out their name!! I really thought he was gonna leave the show. I mean if I did what...

8 responses

bargainbetty yes, it is very drama filled. I almost wonder if it is the producers egging it on. There is racism on every episode. Maybe it is time that they call it quits, if they have to force drama and arguments, it is time to move on to the next big thing!
