A very descriptive chapter, detailing life in your neighbourhood. Living in a housing estate myself, I can identify with it, neighbours come and go, prices go up, occasional break-ins etc.
I think you should've pursued the fraud incident with the police, particularly as you paid by funds transfer, so you had a money trail. He should not be allowed to get away with that, as it will encourage him to do it again.

Thanks for the review. Yeah well I still have the record of the money sent to him but I thought $699 was not enough to get any action on. He did not at the time have a License number only an ABN but I was told that wasn't enough for a search at Fair trading. But if he is still there I know where he lives.

Chances are you are not the only one he duped and who knows how many more people have lodged complaints?
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
My,you have had an eventful stay in your neighbourhood.
I live in a rural environment and I would be stifled in the city. That doesn't mean that all neighbours are nice though-it just means there is more distance between homes.
I'm glad you have some lovely caring neighbours and some home comforts.
An interesting narration.

Thanks for the review just went by something else of yours too maybe this is why you came over hehe. At one time all three neighbours were terrific. But as they say, "you can't pick your neighbours". I mean it could be worse.
We could not live in a remote location because of our medical needs.
-
No, that's true you must live where both your needs are met, you feel safe and have a caring environment.
All the best.
Comment from michaelcahill
Been wondering when you were going to get a new chapter in. This was a good one here with a lot of information and stories. I like hearing about the home life and neighborhood. Some interesting neighbors you have. Wouldn't mind a couple more juicy tidbits about them! This formatted a bit strange with a lot of space on the right. Had that happen to me once. Had to go into alternative editor, basic, and advanced and highlight the blank space. I found that I had to highlight and cut the space it self to fix it. A big pain that took forever. Editor does some weird things sometimes. Well, a good read anyway. Most enjoyable. The wife looks like she is wondering where you took off to!! hahaha. mikey

Thanks I did womde about the formatting thanks for the idea on that. Appreciate the look in. GOing to add the Thief chapter NEXT, that I wrote ages ago. Did you think this was a bit long?
Why isn't this chapter showing in my list?
-
Oh, I don't know. I think if you click on show chapters under portfolio it will be there but it will say 19. That is what mine does too. It says one less then there is but, when it lists them it is there at the end. Not really too long. Hard to tell cause of the format. Kind of stretches out like this. Reads pretty quick with a good flow. Interesting makes up for length some times ha! mikey

Just moved the old Young Burglar story into my book at Chapter 21. I appreciated the help about the formatting mess up. I have sent a message to Tom. One of the reviewers liked the explanation and upped the anti (rating) never saw what it was before hehe.
-
Hey mate been playing asround with this again it came in on the side beter but look at the FS editing mess I wrote to Tom!
-
Brother! I've had this happen. Had to go into basic, and alternative and advanced and all over the place. Great fun! I don't know how that happens. I had to delete space of all things along with all the A's and ?'s.
-
Yeah well I went and did what you said and it got rid of the space on the right but messed everything else up with the "A's" so I whinged or whined if you like to Tom about it! Will so see if he did anything for me nowe.
Comment from Evelyn Fort Stewart
You have no children, correct? It's real important to have good neighbors but too often we need there assistance and then we can be good neighbors and help them out when they have a problem. Good essay. God loves you and I do too.

Comment from Matthew M.
I enjoyed this little slice of your life. I liked your view that when you get robbed or cheated that you have to trust God to provide for you. That is great faith.
I saw a couple of edits:
hanging on behind the shopping trolley in nher wheelchair.
her
walk long dist-ances
no hyphen needed distances

Thanks Matthew funny how different reviewers pick up on different things. Did you think it was a bit long? Also a problem with Formatting but I think it is FS mucking me around. Thanks for the Spags mate. The hyphenated words were ones going from one line to the other funny only a couple were still there. Tell me Matthew if you died tonight where would you go my friend? Love to help you if you are not sure.
-
I would go to see my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He would see my name in the book of life and I would be welcomed into heaven. Thank you so much for caring, my friend! :)
-
Praise God my Bro glad your name is there too look forward to seeing you some day, soon I believe bro.
Comment from Tatarka2
I thought you told your story well. No obvious errors in spelling, punctuation, etc. My suggestion would be to add dialogue, and make your wife and neighbors characters in your story. Give us a lot more "show" and less "tell" and I think you'll have a much more compelling work.

Hi friend well it is my life story and about me and those who are part of it. I appreciate your input and maybe we can consider some of this. Funny how all of us reviewers have different angles but I am most grateful for your input. The old Chapter about the thief (independent story) I did a while back is going to be incorporated in here at the next chapter. Thanks again.
Comment from TOMORAL
This is a most interesting story of a life but it would be much easier to read in paragraph form. I really enjoyed the story though, a great slice of life story.

Hi there well everyone gives their different angle one problem with this that I have never had but I am told it is a FS quirk is the formatting has been messed up that is TOm's department will see what I can do have a look at some of my other chapters if you like. Welcome and thanks again.
-
Well, in that case I have changed to it a five. Didn't know it was a quirk...sorry.
-
Thanks very much didn't even see what the rating was before hehe. I just incorporated a story I wrote about one of the robberies I mentioned in Chapter 20 it is chapter 21 if interested. Thanks for coming back.

Neighbor can be quite interesting. The story has a nice flow. I found it to be a delightful slice of life. I did notice one typo at the start - in nher wheelchair.

Hi Barbara thanks a few have picked up on that the next chapter will be an old story I did a while ago about a robbery we had here, I am adding it as it is appropriate. Seems FS is messing up the Formatting will see if I can get that fixed. Thanks for the great review. Can't get over all the different angles of different reviewers hehe. Sometimes we read the reviews and have to make up our own minds in the end. Appreciate your visit. Cheers.
