God needs help. Going to Salem for some extra protection.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Forget Bush, my neighbor problems have escalated to a point where I want to pour holy water on the property boundaries and put up any protection against evil that is commercially legal. I'm seriously going to Salem on vacation and was wondering if there are any authentic witch stores which have anything that I can hang on the property. You know, eh, for a conversation piece.

4. Think of how bad it could possibly get in a Republican county.

About five years back, our board was taken over by people who live along our Association landscape easements and common ground. (Or, I should say, retaken) It has been their plan to take over those properties without paying for it as long as I've lived here. They are Libertarian style, greedy ass Republican voting predators. They were involved with conspiracy and Breach of Fiduciary Responsibility when the developer was here to finish off the second phase of our Association, but we stopped them at great effort. Unfortunately, the fighting was contentious and, over time, most of the people who fought them, left. I'm the only one left who knows the entire story, but I'm drained, emotionally distraught over the whole thing and have kept to myself for the last two years. I couldn't even look at an envelope with the Association address on it without shaking. So, I literally avoided every neighbor, bad or neutral, for the last two years, but one tackled me today and told me that the board, composed of individuals who lived along common grounds, gave the deeds away to our front entrance landscaping easement. They did it without asking for a full vote from the Association, as one lawyer once suggested should be done to avoid litigation. I know the rest of the common grounds will also be gone, if not already. I'm just tired of fighting. I'm spent, monetarily and emotionally. So, I'll resort to prayer and anything else that will send justice their way on ephemeral wings.

2. Well, here's a bit of old family advice from an old kitchen witch

Put garlic in each corner of your house, and make a 'witches bottle':

Load up a jar with razor blades and rusty nails, piss in it until you fill it to the top. Bury it deep in the backyard, and forget about it.

It's supposed to be sort of an 'jammer/reflector' for bad juju. Couldn't hurt, and your neighbor will wonder what the hell you're burying in the backyard, in any case.

If you want to freak your neighbor out, go get some whole skinned rabbits from your local butcher. Hang them on rough wicker devices all around the perimeter of your yard. Sit back and watch...

6. Now, if I buried it in THEIR yard, I might see the point in it.

3. Salem, Mass?

Ahm, there are tons of shops in Salem that might give you something to take home.

Gee, while you are in Mass you might want to pick up something that might piss off any Republican neighbors you have:

How about a Kennedy sign or bumper sticker? That usually does the trick with Rethugs.

(Protection for property: Hmmm, I think I overheard once that wolf hairs do the trick.)

5. So they won't think I'm absolutely nuts when I tell them what I'm looking

for and why?
