Gonna Vent (will not cuss except with *(*(*&)some risque talk though

My neighbors have driven me to the point where I doled out a thousand bucks to erect a lovely privacy fence across the back of my property. My loyal parents have pointed out if I didn't have dogs (or I did have a husband) or if I just walked away-I wouldn't have to go to the expense. (Daddy is 82 and I doubt he ever turned and walked away from someone who was speaking to him as he advised me to do)
WHAT IS THE DEAL? is there some rule that says property laws do not apply in the case of single women?
Am I truly argumentative for being annoyed? It's that white male privelege thing that Daddy is completely blind to. Or just male privelege.
I am so going to GIRL UP that fence. Paint a mural on it and turn it into urban art. Well, the side that faces my yard. Jed Clampett can pain his side babysh** camo for all I care.
It's not so much the annoying neighbor that has my panties in a wad, it's the attitude that I should just shut up and ignore because it's unseemly to make a fuss. People may TALK because I put up a big fence, because I dared to be offended by homeless people camping in the backyard, bonfire pits dug in front of gas mains and kids throwing lawn darts at my dogs. Yes, I'm really a difficult woman to get along with.
The reality is the only panties that will be wadded are the old fart men on the street who will now be disturbed by the fact that I have a bigger fence than THEY do. Yes, my erection will be higher and harder.
GIRL POWER

But don't let those neighbors get to you. I can't believe some of the things they're doing. I might could deal with some of it until they start messing with my animals! That means war!!!
What is that old saying? High fences make good neighbors? Or something like that...
Girl Power!!!
Hugs and go get um!!!

Ok, need to quite obsessing about the fence-just all that digging and stuff is rattling the dogs nerves and mine-but not nearly as bad as the new roof last year. I thought I would go out of my skull-I took the dogs to the kennel, but I had the flu and had no where to go, so pound pound pound pound pound....oi vey.
There is a concrete slab that was randomly under the fence-not a pipe, not a gas main-a concrete slab. I just had the awful thought that it might be a grave-there is a graveyard a few blocks away and I wonder if this part may have formerly been. Too bad, so sad, we are drilling a hole and putting a fence pole there and any dead bones are just gonna have to move over (to Jed's side of the fence). The current houses have been here since the 50's and I have no idea what was here before that, but apparently it involved a concrete slab.
My other thought was that it is an old derelict bomb shelter. I have one in my yard-not a cellar, and old fashioned two room bomb shelter, complete with escape hatch and sump pump.
What would really be neat is if Saul dug up a T-Rex bone...but most likely he'll just put the fence up and nothing more will happen.
