One Day in the Life of a Wolf - Memorial 7-25-20

I like Verizon (phone & Internet) better than I like Time Warner Cable. Verizon said I could pay the back amount on the first of July. Time Warner didn't want to wait so I get to be TV-deprived for the next 11 days. Hell, I probably watch too much TV anyways. OMG, I might have to learn to read all over again.

Ya gotta use shark bait for them lawyers.

Oh you're wrong about sharks, Christina...

...Sharks do not bite Lawyers because of professional courtesy...

Those ultrasonic vermin repellers are a scam. Roaches don't have ears and the mice could care less. Don't waste your money on junk.

Mac, you need to keep ahead of your bills if possible. Every time that you go into default is another black mark on your credit history. So you end up paying more for car insurance, etc., even if you never have an accident or a ticket.

Our financial institutions don't give a shit about poor people - their aim is to milk them like a cow until they run dry. Once you get into poverty, you will have a terrible struggle getting out of it. Unfortunately, for you, you are already there.... [big sigh]

Keeping ahead is an impossibility...our combined income is $1,100 a month...not a lot to get by on.

That's poverty level. You must be able to qualify for some sort of assistance for your mother? But then nobody really cares about people in your circumstances.... [big sigh]

I think you're right Kangan. The only two services we get FREE are (1) a nurse comes to see mom once a week to check her vitals and (2) an aide shows up once a week to bathe mom, do her nails, wash her hair and counsel her.

Cash assistance would be nice but the County says $1,100 a month is considered TOO high an income for more aid. I've often wondered what planet they lived on before coming here.

Kangan, I didn't say ultrasonic, those are junk. The ones I'm talking about I guess reverberates though the wiring in the house or where ever. Used them in my garage and haven't seenany signs of any type of rodent, mice, squirrels,bats, etc.etc.

Mac, as long as you send something, anything it will help. I've been there and done that as the old saying goes. So, if you can send even $25 on each they have to accept it, without being denied sevices. Especially out there on the left coast where everyone is so damn helpful to the down trodden. So go tell Arnie!!!

Paramedics just left the house. Mom DEMANDED I call 911 and threatened to yell to the neighbord she was kidnapped. The paramedics stayed about 20 minutes but refused to transport her saying it was more Dementia than physical or life threatening. They recommended I tell her doctor to place her in a home and I agreed to their faces but I will NEVER consent to that.

The paramedics also said my living room carpet was too old and a breeding ground for disease and pestilence. I told them my vacumn wouldn't operate well on the dog hair and broke down often but they replied: "the carpet needs replacing as it was beyond vacumning."

Ten minutes after they left, her court appointed attorney called. The hearing was moved up to this coming Monday but the attorney said she's asking for a continuance for 40 days.

In the meantime, the attorney told me to contact Medical (a state of California agency for the indigent and low income) and make an appointment to sign her up. The attorney says due to her age, low income and dementia, that she should qualify for extra income to help with bills, extra nurses tro come out more often and "possibly" some small income for me as her caregiver.

I have a 9:00am appointment at the Medical office tomorrow. I'll see what happens from there and let you know how it goes.

Either life sucks or this is all a bad dream. I'm hoping, in vain, for the later.

Oh Mac, All I can say is that I hope for all the best for you!! Keep the faith brother!!!

Mac,

I know you love your mother, but she is destroying your life. Put her in a home.

When my mother got too demented to stay in her apartment, I had her moved to a special nursing home for Alzheimers. I really didn't want to move her, but her situation had severely deteriorated. The social worker reassured me that despite the move, my mother would probably not really rmember her old apartment, so I shouldn't worry about moving her.

Do it. You are in too much pain because of her dementia.
