Secret Misery of an HOA Board Member
Sorry, but the subject line seems so appropriate. You have to be a very miserable person to just live to inflict misery on others.
If I didn't believe in Karma and "What Goes Around, Comes Around" I would really be looking for something ugly to do to our HOA Board members. But, that's not me and I can't waste energy on misery. If I entertain their misery then I will become miserable. That's not going to happen.
You've probably figured out what I'm talking out. Yes, the HOA denied my request for a window A/C and/or Fan. Here's their reasoning for their decision.

Don't you love it? They are trying to require me to use more energy (hurting our planet) and spend more money (when the economy is tight). Now you see why I say these folks must be so miserable to try and inflict misery against another person and even our planet. I have to laugh at this. It's really sad and I will not play into their hands. I can't do it, I won't.
I'm not surprised they denied the request. It seems to be their mind set. Sad, sad, sad. I am so glad I don't get up with an agenda of making other people miserable.
For me, I am enjoying my day. I stood still and watched a young deer walk across the street on my walk to work. I saw the bunny scamper across and even the feral kitty. It was a pleasant morning and today will be wonderful!
Have a great day my friends and don't let the gray clouds of others cloud up your day!

Oh, Oh, Deb. My husband is on the HOA here where we live. Infact, he's the vice-president. I agree with you about the rules, though. I get annoyed with so many do's and don't's, and actually he agrees with me that some of them are just plain stupid. Still, they were in the by-laws when we purchased and we knew about them and agreed to abide by them. I just don't think we realized how imposing many of them can be.

So glad I didn't buy a house that came with an HOA! Sounds like they are total idiots!
Great seeing all that wildlife on your way to work!

That is amazing. TURN UP THE AIR CONDITIONER?????? This sounds like it could be fodder for a great investigative story for a TV news reporter.
