Help!!! I need a place to hide a body.

I think....

her sister was OUR neighbor. The one we had came over ALL the time and did the same kind of judgeing. Not so much out and out like that but more of a zinger disquised in a compliment, so nice that she wasnt nice at all.
She also had a knack of letting herself in (not that we ever locked the doors)but still she had a way of just showing up out of no where,it was plain erie.

Now the night it all came to a halt. She came over to watch tv with us kids....fine. Ten oclock came,we THOUGHT she went home, my sister even walked with her to the gate.We kids went to bed. My parental units went to bed soon after.....

In the middle of the night my parents were in the midst of doing things that lovers do in thier room with the door shut. All of sudden her frail but not weak voice calls out quite opinionatedly from the foot of the bed "Well I never thought Id see the day, you arent the people I thought you were at all"

Well God only knows what happened after that!!! But it was the last time she crossed the fence, soon after she repotedly went to live with a son in Alaska.

I only heard about this night years later after I was an adult and it still cracks me up to this day.And my dad, a Lt Commander still treats it like his Viet Nam days.....with Silence tho these days he will smile a little about it.

So take heart, believe it or not your gal hasnt really overstepped EVERY possible concievable boundry...yet.

Best of luck to you!!!!

To be honest though it's quite possible that your neighbor has a dementia other than Altzheimers, there are variations like frontal lobe dementia. The symptoms of it are exactly the type of thing you're describing, innappropriate coduct and comments of which they would never have done prior to the onset of the disease. You could discretely ask some family member if she's always been this way.

OMG! Well, you have to Love her before you off her.

Not really, I would be kind and firm. I would be kicking her out of my house with a kind and firm foot! There is only so much critique that one person can take, especially when they have way to much time on their hands, and it sounds unwarented.. There is, yet again, the option to lock your door, or not answering it at all. Just a thought.
PS, I also like the" Well, I will be in the garage if you need me," responce. If someone offered to clean out my refrigerator, I would totally take them up on it. My Grandma Chris when she came over to my house on Thanksgiving opened all of the cabnets and the door to the spare room, and offered a little critque, I just said Thank you, and nothing more was said.

There but for the grace of God....

My aunt came for a week to visit, of course I removed all articles I didn't want her to find, knowing she would give my house a MRI while I was at work. I did find out about every out of date product in my cabinets, and she did clean my fridge, I love her but was sure glad to drive her to the airport. Maybe we forget that for a lot of women of that era that was their life, running a house. I try to understand...

Nosy neighbor story.

My old friend has a similar elderly neighbor next door whose husband is also still alive. They're both haughty and nosy.
I always forget their names, so when I ask about his nosy neighbors I refer to them as Gladys and Abner. (I know you all get the joke).
Unfortunately, our calling them Gladys and Abner was so second nature that another friend actually thought their names were Gladys and Abner! One day by coicidence we all met on the sidewalk our mutual friend went up to them to say HI GLADYS! HI ABNER! We cut off the conversation real fast just to save us from huge embarrassment.

Archie: *Edith get me a beer, there, wouldja, ha?*

I guess you can now call your mutual friend "Edith", the dingbat.
