Neighbor doesn't want me to farm.

   / Neighbor doesn't want me to farm. #141  
I got a response from the neighbors. Thanking me for leaving the trees between orchard edge and property line and acknowledging the property line markings that I made. He suggested marking the corners with metal fence posts since the last survey used flimsy pins. Said he purchased some last year but never put them in. I will offer to help put them in. That keeps us both satisfied as to their veracity.
Good fences make good neighbors.


Well, like I always say you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! :D

The common translation of this phrase is "You make more friends by being nice than by being rude".

There are those that think this is not true.

It's good to see you making progress.

One thing I would check, there may be a requirement to have the posted no trespassing signs every X amount of feet from each other. Being nice and not putting a sign within his view may not be in accordance with requirements.

Just a thought.

You and one other member are taking the phrase too literally in my opinion. There is a "real meaning" lost in "literal translation".

The meaning of the phrase does not involve catching flies.

No, just having fun. Did you notice the last line of the linked page?

"*But only for fruit flies. When applied to the use of kindness when dealing with humans, it's still true. "
