Hi Thomas Shawn – Hey, thanks for the tip on the peanut butter! I bet that really does keep the dog busy!

For barking dog, take a piece of bread and slather it with peanut butter and throw it over to the dog. His mouth will be busy for hours.

If you blast music at them, try some Wagner or Tchaikovsky …. that won’t go over too well.

Hi Mike K. – Ha ha… thanks for your comment. Haha.. sleeping with those Smith & Wesson ear muffs might be tricky! So far I didn’t have a chance to go out and look for disposable ear plugs, but maybe next week!

Bob,
Any luck with the ear plugs? I could bring you some disposable ones when I go home this month… Maybe you should borrow my Smith and Wesson ear muffs. ha-ha if they don’t block out the noise just carry them over to the “neighbor from hell” and explain the steps of putting them where “the sun doesn’t shin”

Reading your post today reminds me how much I have neglected to annoy the neighbours lately.

I think I will start with a little Frank Sinattra and who knows where we will go from there.

Gotta love that Magic Mic!

Hi Jonathan – biggest problem there is that getting to a wal-mart is expensive! Ha ha… Maybe I can find some at some local store, though!

Hi Neil in RI – Ha ha.. maybe I can get some of the guys from Gitmo to come and give me training!

Hi Malcolm – I have really been trying to avoid going down to that level, but in the end, it may be necessary!

Bose and other “active cancellation” headphones actually do a lousy job at cancelling high-frequency noise (human speech or higher, basicaly), although they are great at cancelling the low rumble of a plane engine.

Get some 30+db disposable earplugs, the kind you can get for 30 pairs for $3 at wal-mart, and you’ll have better results for less money.
