[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived in four states, and nobody has ever done that for me when moving in, so I'd be shocked. Hopefully smoother than they were, but shocked. [/quote]

That is sad.  I once cooked an entire dinner for a new neighbor moving in.  She looked to be about to give birth at any moment and it was hotter than hades.  I also brought them (And the movers ice water and iced tea.)   Sorry you don't have nice neighbors.[/quote]

I think my neighbors are perfectly nice. I have no idea who they are - lived here four years. Don't even know when a neighbor moves in or out. Nice means different things to different people. Sometimes it means bringing baked goods and welcoming someone to the neighborhood and sometimes it means giving people space and privacy. [/quote]

Space and privacy are one thing; having "no idea who they are" after four years doesn't sound very neighborly. I'd be curious to hear your description of "being nice" to a neighbor. In our 50 year old neighborhood that has people of just about all ages, we don't intrude but certainly wave when walking, know each others' names, assist in an emergency, have a few neighborhood get-togethers each year, etc. [/quote]
