I found my first frog in the pond last night! Me and the girlfriend were sitting by the pond drinking some wine when something jumped into the lily pads. I looked closer and saw that it was a frog! I was actually going to go out to some of the local mudholes and dirt ponds to try and snag a few to bring back to the pond... But looks like I won't have to!

Your lady may need some ear plugs and then she will sleep!

well that would be her problem .She lived in the city before buying this house with her new hubby and her mother and father are not happy about everything going on there .I talked to them this morning when i was getting the mail as she was not home and guessing they were supposed to have a little talk by what they said .I have talked to them several times ,I guess they need to get it off there shoulders .They have lived here for 3 years and they have mowed the grass 3 times and it was a brand new house but now looks like a dump .Her and her hubby have not lived together for almost those 3 years .He left her 4 months after moving in .They got married after moving in .Grown children sometimes think they know everything .I was 1 of them I guess .Live and learn

a neighbor made a noise complaint and my address was given as where the noise was coming from .
Unbelievable x 2

First of all, your neighbor makes a noise complaint about frogs? What's next, birds chirping?

Secondly, the crass answer the Sheriff's department gave you. What are you going to do next? I guess you would need to file a complaint with your County.

Worthless here to do that .Just a headache I don't need .Just like the company that cut down the trees on Jody's property and took some of my trees ,which were clearly marked and i got a little money and a couple of small trees and a big waste of my time .I lost some really big trees too .If I had not come home when I did I would have lost more of them .Part of the woods behind my house is mine and has always been clearly marked since I bought the property .She seems to complain all the time and even told the other neighbor about his mowing habits ,from 1 that never mows her yard :)
