She is close to my oldest daughter&#8217;s age&#8230;35 or so. At first visits from her were short and I could tell she just wanted to get out of the house. But now, after only about one month of these frequent visits, when she comes over, it&#8217;s usually to borrow something. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I don&#8217;t mind sharing if I have it. But now I&#8217;m realizing that she has items of mine that she hasn&#8217;t brought back. I don&#8217;t like this.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I am rather forgetful at times. That is just me. Age contributes a bit to it also, I suppose. But this young woman should remember that I did tell her, &#8220;When you are done, I need it back&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>When she visits chats away, but I work from home and it&#8217;s hard to concentrate if I&#8217;m in the middle of work with the chatter. She obviously sees that I&#8217;m working. I&#8217;ve even bluntly took her that I&#8217;m working and have a deadline. SO, it looks like I&#8217;m going to have to be a bit more hard core about this. My friend Lindsay is going through the same thing with a neighbor who lives on her road. I can at least have someone to commiserate with. SMH!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my Rants or Raves&#8230; There is a new neighbor down the street.
