That's actually normal and commendable... as long as it's not putting you in the nuthouse that is... You can always zip over there with your tractor/snow blower and clear out thier driveway. A bowl of hot chicken soup would be appreciated too. My neighbor has done this for us a few times. Pretty nice! Oh and exchanging phone numbers is a good thing. It's what we do out in the country!

Two hours? One way or total for the day? I hope they have enough sense to drive something fuel efficient!

The first Gladys Kravitz was the best. She passed during the second season and was awarded an Emmy posthumously. Alice Pearce was only 48.

She was like Don Knotts in drag! Same type of nervous character. She was the best.

Its hilarious that Gladys saw a lot of the antics going on across the street but Abner never saw any of it! The entire series went that way. The original Gladys and Uncle Arthur were my favorites.

We’ve got a Mrs Kravitz here in the form of my 75 year old neighbor. He watches the house and gathers mail while we are away.

Or as a friend of mine told the 3 teenage boys that were harassing his daughter in school, "See them hills up there?.... I grew up in them... there are places up there I know that even coyotes couldn't find a body... !"
