And she is kind IRL, if you know her.

I would want her on my side. I think they took her kindness the wrong way, but she is as brilliant as she is kind.

I consider here a good friend and look to emulate her: nice, educated, successful, great (engaged) mom with great kids, nice house, etc. I think the other moms just couldn't take it anymore, and felt it was too close to home for them. She is cute too, so that did not help the nasty brigade.

Whenever I see catty moms, I think of her and how kind she is, and how it has gotten her where she is. She doesn't pay any mind to negative, and she puts a lot of stock in karma.

For every 1,000 nasty women, there is one like my friend. She is truly an inspiration.

Maybe this should be on the the nice neighbors thread, but I thought it applies to both.

Just to be clear, you think karma is the reason she has a huge inheritance and investment portfolio and is hot? I don't think karma works that way.

She is the nicest person I know, which counts for good karma coming her way; but does not account for her good fortune, as she and her family are very hard working.

I do believe hard work, and choosing your battles, pays off in the end.

I don't think she cares how you think karma works, frankly.

You sound weirdly obsessed with this woman.

My neighbor growing up was... Oh my Lord, she was just SO HOT. She was around 25 and lived alone, worked in the city (or so we thought), and she had this gorgeous hair, great body, etcetera. It was like living next to Gwyneth Paltrow but in 1986. One time I was selling Girl Scout cookies with my sister and we peeked into her house. It was basically a mansion packed into a townhouse. Gorgeously decorated, ridiculously lavish, modern and sleek... My God, we were convinced our neighbor was some sort of Swedish princess. Ten years later my mom mentioned offhand that "[the neighbor]'s Japanese billionaire benefactor's gone bankrupt, so now she's living with her mother. Isn't that just wild?" So we had some sort of overseas prostitute receiving millions from a mysterious Japanese guy living next to us for eighteen years.

That's... weird?

We moved to DC from a slightly friendlier area, and bought a house in a nice NWDC neighborhood next door to an elderly couple. We were friendly with the neighbors, but they maintained a real formality about the relationship, which was fine but kind of off putting. On the first big snowstorm, my husband shoveled our steps and sidewalk, and then started to shovel the sidewalk in front of the neighbors just to be nice. He was no more than five minutes into shoveling and the elderly man neighbor came tearing out of the house with what appeared to be a gun, screaming his head off about the sidewalk being private property and he wouldn't pay. Um, my husband didn't want money - and he didn't want to get shot - just trying to be neighborly. In the end, once they realized it was my husband, he apologized and the wife brought some jam over later - but it definitely toned down our efforts to be friendly!

Oh, I've got one. My neighbor was a literal bank robber. He was arrested after stealing in the middle of the night something like $200,000 from a local bank in our small area. Then we were helping his daughter clean out the house to sell when he was in jail and discovered ten robber masks with future and past dates on them. I presume he saved one for each heist as a memento.

Or maybe just wishing more people were like her, and looking for a great role model, which she is! Imagine that.

You don't sound very happy. In fact, you sound jealous of someone you don't even know.

My former neighbor murdered someone in the woods and then ran naked down the George Washington parkway until captured. He seemed relatively normal...till all of that.

Not at all. Glad you found a good friend amongst the hyped up jerks in the area. But if I had a similar friend, I certainly wouldn't go on some anonymous message board raving about her. Your posts about her sound like love letters.

Worry more about yourself, and less about other people's posts.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the point of this site was to exchange ideas and communicate. My bad. I'll go back to pretending like I'm not actually reading and reacting to other people's posts.

I'm not "worried" about anyone.
