    Remember: The suburbs are the natural outgrowths propagated by the misanthropic, antisocial, and narcissistic. The 'burbs may seem like a nice place on the surface, but always keep in mind the makeup of those who consider it their natural habitat.

    So sorry you had to deal with that crap.
    I feel bad that I can't even offer any decent advice.
    It's easy to say stand up to them because even in my days as a stay at home dad, when I went to the park my problem was convincing the moms that I wasn't a creeper and I was never in your position.
    Even the 'ignore them and they'll stop' one is crap because those kind of people notorious for trying to drive out anybody they don't think are worthy.
    Maybe making friends with other people these dicks have messed with, might work.

    Of course, killing them and burying them under the patio is an option.

    Your insight never fails to amaze me.

    We suburbanites love to spot the newbies and give 'em hell ;).

    Au contraire. I think you would have handled it majestically, if not homicidally.

    I hate bullies.

    It's worse when they make it to adulthood and still think they can pull it off.

    Thanks for the support, guys.
    Really having a rough day right now. Didn't sleep last night, keep running the events through my mind and can't make sense of it.

    Would it feel better to explain what happened?

    It only made it worse to discuss it with my husband last night. I might make a thread on the topic... Just really confused right now.

    The fact that we were planning on making an offer on a house in this community... And there are people like this... I'm such a mess.

    I'm abandoning an increasing amount of YouTube videos. Because commercials.

    I haven't been using it because I couldn't get it to install for some reason.

    Never mind. I just got it to work. It must have been my current browser version (at the time).

    If you make more than $600 off of licensing a video, the company you license it with sends you a 1099 for tax purposes.

    Yeah, that's the one drawback.
    You have to figure out what plugin the site is using, go into adblock and allow that plugin.
    I use Ghostery too, and it's the same way.
