Sharleece's Pot Roast Recipe

1 Sweet onion
2 Can of water
Salt and pepper to taste

Put all the previously prepared ingredients in a crockpot, cook on low for about 24 hours or high for about 8 to 12 hours, serve over rice with a vegetable side dish, and enjoy. Start this dish first thing in the morning, when you wake up; and, it will be done when you return home from work. This is one of my favorite meals when I worked back to back dishes possessing little inbetween time; however, I still wanted a home cooked meal.

10 Ways to be a Good Neighbor

In the hustle and bustle of today's world, most of us have forgotten the art of being a good neighbor. Below are 10 ways to be a good neighbor:

1. Introduce yourself to your neighbor with pie or another peace offering;
2. Do not start downing your neighbor by talking about his/her imperfections as an individual, but focus on his/her good qualities;
3. Do not allow your kids to run in and out of the neighbor's yard or to speak to the neighbor without the proper title(Mr., Mrs., or Miss) or to holler at the adult neighbor as if the adult neighbor was a child;
4. Do not invite yourself to his/her activities or parties, wait for an invitation;
5. Invite your neighbor to one of Sharleece's Weekly Mixer/Social Activity type activities as seen on www.sharleece.blogspot.com, www.twitter.com/sharleece, and www.sharleece.ning.com to make more friends;
6. Do not borrow from your neighbor excessively;
7. Return what you do borrow with interest;
8. Do not read your neighbors' mail;
9. Keep your yard clean; and,
10. Keep the noise to a minimum at night.


Follow these tips and your neighbors will be your friends for life. Unless you have neighbors like my previous neighbors who broke all of the above neighborly rules making each and everyone of them difficult to live around.
