As I may have mentioned in the past, I like to live on the edge. One of the horrible sins for which I have been chastised in the past is having a hummingbird feeder hanging over my balcony. Apparently we are not supposed to have anything showing over our balcony railings.
Not only have I rehung my hummingbird feeder (so it hangs to below the balcony railing's edge), but I have planted sunflowers, which will eventually be four or more feet tall. Yes, I am a rebel.
If I wind up being one of those guys with dirty clothes and a sign at the off-ramp stop light, what should I put on said sign?

@TheHorse If you can think of an appropriate one. I can't at this moment.

@BarBaraPrz I don't know that "Hate the sin. Love the sinner" is actually in the Bible. Heh.

@TheHorse You'd probably be better off by asking Sanjeev's wife to bake the cake with a file in it. I have a feeling Sanjeev doesn't do much cooking.

@TheHorse I wondered how you were managing to "sneak" Kitty past the management. Most apartment buildings have regulations against pets.

I'm sorry, I'm not coming up with anything... If you do lose your apartment, I'm sure @vandana7 will let you have the extra bed in her new apartment.

@DaddyEvil I am planning the same.
But she didn't tell me about the new apartment!

@TheHorse Well, you can opt for loo and the good samaritan's bed ..50% only...
Look at how they share...you must learn something from Indians. I was proposing innocent sharing...but Americans have a dirty mind. Evil Grin.
Here is the song "Tu Na Jaane Aas Paas Hai Khuda" from the Bollywood movie 'Anjaana Anjaani' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Song - Aas Paas Hai ...

I have learned the hard way they get mean when you take away what they like. Here one dive bombs me because we took away his favorite cactus. Just tell them you are protecting people and the place, saves you from a lawsuit. It works every time as soon as you mention lawsuit.

Your sign should say, "Will work for cat food and hummingbird nectar."
The joys of home ownership (with no homeowner's association to answer to!)!

And I always heard that Horse Sense was a good thing.
Here's a loophole... Put rollers on the pots containing the sunflowers. If you get a complaint you can just say you are putting your plants outside for sunshine and roll them in if necessary. Then roll them back out. Surely no on can object to temporarily moving plants out into the sunshine, right?

I'm sure they won't kick you out because these are very small things

I was trying to understand how the bird "feeds" from that. To no avail.
What is the basis of that rule? I could never remember it till there is a board (visible from my balcony) saying the rule aloud - preferably in bold letters.

I am the horse, I am a rebble? I just hope you don't find yourself evicted over some silly stuff like that.

You really are living the life of a rebel according to the rules of the building association. Hopefully they can't see your bird feeder hanging on the inside and maybe your sunflowers will block it

The most appropriate sign may quite possibly be "live free or die." That being said, there are two kinds of places I prefer not to live. Subdivisions and apartment buildings or condos. Rebel or no, I do not like all the rules attached to how I enjoy my own personal space.
