How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

Neighbors never try to tell me what to do because I’m crazy as hell. This busybody one next door, who is on the HOA, approached me when I was painting my house. She complimented the color then asked, BTW did you get it approved by the HOA? I just gave her an ice cold stare. She said that she’d try her best to “shepherd it through” then awkwardly walked away. Sure enough, now we have a seafoam green house, probably the only one in all of the midwest (I’ll be on the beach someday.). I sweated that because husband had looked it up and didn’t see anything about color changes needing permission. I’m sure I’ve threatened every member of the HOA at one time or other (without even knowing who’s on it) so I don’t know why I was worried.

When you’re growing up, you never expect that at 43 years of age, you’ll have a police sergeant at your house telling you that he’s proud of you because your name hasn’t shown up on any police reports lately, and there haven’t been any calls about you.

This busybody, about a year later, I got into it with her husband and ended up hitting him in front of police. I got a restraining order after that so there hasn’t been much communication there. There are two others that I war constantly with. They are some immigrants that pile into these houses, though. I put up “Don’t Tread on Me” flags up all around our house even though I’m not Republican. I got them because I know the one next door (not the one I hit - the other one) hates snakes. Granted, these two are pretty darn bad neighbors. The one was sued by the HOA, I found out. I can take it a little over the top, though. I absolutely hate Muslims so that HAS to be what moves around us.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
