....that my neighbor is, most likely, a drug dealer.

=-O

I already live in a pretty bad neighborhood--the kind that Dominos doesn't deliver to after dark. Hopefully I'll move soon.

I had a drug dealer live in the flat below, and one night some knob came in with a machete and broke down his door. I couldn't see properly, called the cops and said this guy had a baseball bat, they send one cop with a dog, all hell breaks loose,, I call the cops again, the whole damn force arrive.......never again

I once lived in a road where a junkie on teh corner was murdered and we saw him coming out in the body bag and blood splattered across the door. Was scary.
Also the woman downstairs from us has a lodger who is a wife beater and we constantly hear him screaming and swearing. He's been arrested twice.

This is the first time I've ever lived alone (in a one-bedroom...I've had roommates before) and I guess I really didn't believe that bad areas existed (I come from an upper-middle-class family and have always lived in a somewhat affluent neighborhood). I chose the cheapest rent possible, rubbing my hands with delight as I congratulated myself on how clever I was....now it looks like perhaps I should have gone for the higher rent :-).

He's more of the "50-year-old-hippy-who-thinks-he's-still-living in-the-60s" style dealer...not a "gangsta-thug-I'll-murder-you" style dealer.

I still get creepy visitors at 3AM who mistake my apartment for his, though :-(. Often the midnight visitors think that we're related because he and I are the only white people in the neighborhood.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
