I have just found out that Ron Brind and the bungalow my brother and I own are just two streets apart. Now how funky is that !

Last year I was at the Bungalow for four months off and on as I dealt with medical emergencies, and there was Ron and his wife just a hop skip and a jump away, if only I had known .

Just thought I'd share  .

The power of POE eh? The fact is that Sue, now thousands of miles away in the USA and making conversation through the POE forum has found somebody who lives in Wheatley, Oxford UK just about 500 yards away from a property that she and her brother own! Amazing!!

And yes as Roses comments above, a small world. Has anybody else ended up talking to a neighbour via the POE forum says Roses, lets have input about your experience!

Ha, Babs, you're on the ball.

Yes, the house is now sold, but I still have connections there, so Ron, even if he changes the number on his house, can't escape me.

Go get'em Sue!!!... I'm hoping an I can meet an gal pretty soon off another web site when I go up to see my sister in-law later on, this gal is an Californian transplant I think she told us all...in her later years, trying to resetablish "living off the land", with her hubby.. I know she said her kids lived in an separate place on thier property, and she's got gobs of it from what I understand...north of Lake Chelan, Washington. Should prove to be interesting for both of us if we make the connection. All kinds of close people here near by I don't see, including my own brother, but he has an lady friend living with him, and has for some time, and it was he worked nights and slept days, and I think she works days and sleeps nights, unless they have arranged things differently, but its hard for me to know when it would be appropriate to go and see him. He has always graviated toward his wife's family in the past, so I figure that's what he's doing now...as the street runs both ways you know. My brother has always been one of seing me when he needs help..and not otherwise. My sister I use to see more often, until they raised gas prices and she had car problems. Her life is owned "lock stock and barrel" as they say by her living off the Governent now...she herself never knows from day to day if she'll be living in the same place...or what they have in mind next for her. Her big thing is lack of money. We figured it costs us about $10 to drive over an say "hi" once in an while, so we talk on the phone. The in-laws.. we use to have an yearly reunion, but the kids are grown up and like so many families, it's the "Parents" that held the entire group together and it seems the only other time we see each other it's an family occasion. It is also that many of us aren't' off work on weekends to visit anyone.I probably talk more on the "net" to people...then I do relatives in person, and it's easier to do also. It' s the standard lifestyle of most people.
