Park in the middle of both spaces
[Read the article: I'm a condo parking-spot hoarder!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well, it's a thought. Just make the two spaces one space; park in the middle. After awhile, tenants will get used to seeing your car in your spaces. This of course makes it a problem when your guests come over, but apparently you don't get many guests.
Also, I agree with everyone else here who says you must fling off the cloak of EVERYONE MUST LIKE ME. Your neighbor is pooping on you. She doesn't care one whit about you, your life, your condo, your parking space, your feelings. It's all about HER and HER needs. This type of person will make sure you feel intimidated and uncomfortable enough to agree with anything she says.
Do you truly care if she likes you? Then rent her the space. Better yet - sign it over to her.
Don't like those ideas? Then practice saying "No" and buy the old book "Don't Say Yes When You Want to Say No." You're passive aggressive. Learn to be aggressive, learn to know what you want, learn that no matter what you do, some people will never like you.
And then breathe a sigh of relief, because I guarantee you that the neighbor will never again be a problem for you. Look right through her or say hello, slightly smile, and keep moving.
If not, the next thing she'll want to do is ask if she can rent your extra bedroom for overnight guests. (Okay, I'm kidding, almost, about that.)

All the rage
[Read the article: Claim your refund for useless Airborne cold supplement]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, yes, Airborne. It was all the rage a couple of years ago, wasn't it? I worked with people who swore by it. I never tried it.
However, it has a lot of vitamin A? Reminds me a cold remedy I read in "Junky" by William S. Burroughs (which was published earlier in 1953). He claimed that flooding your system with vitamin A at the slightest feeling of a cold coming on would either deflect it entirely or lessen it. I think he did warn about overdosing on A, but he seemed to not much care personally, what with being a drug addict and all.
So, damn, looks a well-known addict beat the schoolteacher to the punch by a few decades. If only he'd been lucid enough before writing "Junky" to patent it.
P.S. He also gave tips on how to cure your homegrown marijuana in the oven, and well, personally speaking, at least one of his cures works just fine.

Genes
[Read the article: Do not go gentle into that Eileen Fisher]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They help with the aging process. So pick your parents and grandparents well.
I don't have many gray hairs on my brown haired head and I've always been baby-faced. I'm aging, yep, for sure I am. But not long ago I had someone nearly fall over when I told her my age. I first asked her to guess. She guessed 51. When I said, "guess again," she was embarrassed that she had guessed too old so she said "47."
"I'm 60."
She let out a yelp and nearly fell backwards - no kidding. This friend is about in her mid-30s. She had no idea her new pal was officially classified as a senior citizen.
For that, I say, in this youth obsessed culture, thanks Mom and Dad; you too Grammy and Grampa.
And if I had enough dough to get an entire face and body lift in five years, you can bet your sweet ass I'd do it. Other than that, I'm okay with uh, aging.
LOL.

Dude, Handistraps - give it a rest
[Read the article: Claim your refund for useless Airborne cold supplement]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you can't get the joke that Poodleplay made (re: the tv commercial; we ALL got it, btw), then please be quiet because with each post you are showing immense ignorance. How old are you anyway? Geesh, whatever point it was you had, it's long been since lost and no one is reading anything you're saying.

Wheeh, thank god he's gone.
[Read the article: Claim your refund for useless Airborne cold supplement]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Couldn't even put a coherent sentence together. Would hate to use a product from someone who actually didn't make much sense.

Point of Fact: Charo and the Gabor sisters
[Read the article: Who the hell are Heidi and Spencer?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Neither Charo nor the Gabors were simply known for "being famous."
Charo and the Gabors (well, two of them) actually have/had careers in entertainment. Charo sings, dances and is lauded for her expertise in flamenco guitar. Have you ever seen her play? She does have talent. I think she also speaks a few languages, though she loves to cuichi-cuichi it up with English, since she is also a decent comedienne.
The Gabors - yes, the marrying Gabors - were not just socialites and climbers, but also managed to work in movies and television in their long careers in the entertainment industry.
Do I have to remind you of Eva's "Green Acres" or the fact that Zsa Zsa was in the original movie "Moulin Rouge"?
Okay, not earth shaking careers on either Gabors' part but careers nonetheless.
And Paris? Um. Oh. Yeah. That reality series. And some movies - uh.......??
So, let's tally up: Right about Paris Hilton. Wrong about Charo. Wrong about the Gabors.
