My mom was a bitch

Not to be disrespectful to my deceased mom, but she was a bitch.  She was a fantastic nurse, an OK mom to us kids, but to pretty much everyone else in the world, she was a total bitch.  Pretty much everyone I know feared her.

Fortunately, I take after my dad, peace maker.  Unless you make me angry by bullying and/or disrespecting my children and/or me.

Unlike my mom I have my dad's red hair, which I've always enjoyed.  Mom had dark brown hair, she always wore it short.  I usually wear mine long and curly.

Until recently, a series of events caused me to cut my hair short and I decided to go with the dark brown look....alas, I look very much like mom.

me, red curly hair

me, short dark brown hair

I noticed, that with short brunette hair, I seemly received more respect than I did with the red curly hair.
I was about to write about this in here, until, my neighbor decided that he was going to disrespectfully talk to me, even after me nicely asking him not to.....he said he could talk to me any way he wants to.

Now here is the ironic part:

My mom came out, and I just verbally told him off so badly that he was speechless. 

So perhaps instead of comparing the way I am treated by the way I look, I should compare the way that I treat others, by the way I look. :)

Oh and neighbor, if you're reading this, yeah, you're still a fat, cowardly fuckhat. Bully!
