After 7 decades I like peace and quiet and friendly smiles and this is why we moved here and are in our third home here. Every neighbor hood has been wonderful, outgoing people, helpfulness all round and tolerance for the sick and occasional grouch that is having a bad day. Lately when I read this forum, it's sounding more and more like a place to gripe, groan and so on. Perhaps it's the growing population, perhaps it's something else but it's not the same.

Maybe we can have a separate section for "gripes of the day", then those who like to read such things for enjoyment or misery would have their own spot. The rest of us could read the helpful articles and suggestions etc. like we used to without having to guess by the title. After all we came and bought in the friendliest place around...and it still is...95% of the time if we just look closely enough.
