Fun on Facebook.

Below is a conversation that took place recently on our Homeowners Association Facebook page. I knew that there are several housing additions with the same name as ours around the country. This lady got bit by that fact. I am changing names to protect the ego. Enjoy



Sandy Ridge Homeowners Association





We just moved here and we have a large amount of trash that we need to put out. Can somebody please tell me the rules on this? Thank you



Margaret: Welcome to the neighborhood! There are two garbage companies with similar names. Area Disposal and Area Garbage Service. If you are signed up with one of them already you can make arrangements to have a large pick up. You can get recycling curb pick up service for an extra fee. I use Area Garbage Service and they offer once monthly and twice monthly recycling pick up. Hope this helps!



Jane: Margaret: Thank you so much!!



Marty: Welcome to Sandy Ridge! We are very happy here!



Jane: Marty Thank you so much! It’s been a week of us living here and it’s so quiet and peaceful. We love it! We are excited for the summer so our children can play outside.



Marty:  Jane, what street do you live on, how old are your children, and finally, how did you get lucky enough to move during one of the coldest weeks?😂 We moved the week before Christmas TWICE, and in November once! 😀



Jane: Marty we have twins, 1 boy and 1 girl. They are almost 15months old. It has been a very cold move that’s for sure. We live on Sweetbriar.



Fred: Hi Jane ! we don’t have a Sweetbriar in Sandy Ridge - are you located in Mahomet IL?



Margaret: Don’t unpack yet if you need to move to the “real” Sandy Ridge! 😁

Jim:  Fred there is a Sweetbriar located in Bloomington...



Jane: Marty  I’m not sure now haha



Jane: Pine school is in my backyard.



Margaret: You’re definitely not in Mahomet, IL. Hope you have great neighbors like us wherever you live! 😊



Jane: Margaret: Hahahahah I’m in Ohio. Hahah


People wonder why we old folks often check and recheck to be sure we are talking with the correct people, etc. Our world has become so instant and superficial and our conversations are on the fly. I have spent lots of  "wasted time" wading through Sandy Ridge, Silver Lake, Urbana, etc. in many different states. It does pay off to pay attention to the details.
