Noisy vs Nosy

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I live in a lovely neighborhood. The streets are lined with elms and the houses are old Victorians with historical value. Most of my neighbors are lovely people.

Recently, a young, childless couple moved in. They immediately started "updating" the house with an outdoor hot tub, outdoor entertainment center, pool, lights and decking. They are in the process of painting the house purple. They are constantly throwing parties that are loud and last until all hours of the night.

Many of us in the neighborhood are sick of these people. They are ruining our neighborhood. What can we do?

You could make another neighborhood, somewhere else. It would look like a different neighborhood. You have more friends. What are their names? My friends are named Mata, Rata, Fata, Chalk and Eegah. I like Eegah the best.

You should not talk to the people in the new house. They are lousy. If you do talk to them, say anything carefully. They are lousy people.
