Well, a new update, we aren't on the chicken farm anymore, had the "REAL" owner show up and not be happy that her son is allowing everyone and anyone off the streets to come onto "HER" property and stay on it.. ~RME~ Seems she doesn't even own it anymore, it's going to be auctioned off by the state, since it is in foreclosure... ~chuckles~
Anyways, we are now on someone else's land, we originally thought it was the sweet and lonely old man's property, but it seems that wasn't so... ~sighs~ Have met his soon to be ex-wife, and she was relieved we were there, as then her soon to be ex-husband wouldn't try anything stupid like, oh, setting the rest of the property on fire... See, the house they shared, is being demo'd next week or the week after, as it has been gutted by a fire, back in February... Though right now, and possibly until they come and tear down the house, we have a place to stay, after that, we aren't sure... The old man got into it with Ray yesterday afternoon when he didn't get his way, and threw a temper tantrum that included calling the state troopers on us... When they saw where he was living, found out from two other people, not only his wife, that he was NOT supposed to be living there, they ask him if he needed to be seen by a doctor at the hospital and said yes, and left with the paramedics willingly, as he was thinking he would be out in 15 mins... ~snorts~ Not with Adult Protection Services and the Mental Health people coming in right behind him...
Basically, this old man, he's 78 years old, brilliant until he goes off his medications, for his bi-polar, diabetes, and high blood pressure.. As far as we can tell, between us, his ex-wife, his POA (Power of Attorney), and his LOOOOOOONG health history, he has probably been off his meds since before the fire started, and we all are pretty sure he set the fire that burned down the house... I hated doing this, as did Ray, but it was to the point that he was willing to eat something that had been sitting outside for nearly 3 days, with raw bacon in it, not realizing that there had been no heat set to it since before he started making this "stew", I couldn't take it anymore, and well Ray couldn't go near him without this guy telling him to get away, Devil, and everything else that was related to Satan... ~sighs softly~
It's been a trying week, but now he's in a place he will get the help he needs, they were shocked that he was out, since he apparently was supposed to be in a home under survillance back in May, but he disappeared, which I can attest to, he's really really good at... We are just happy it happened now, since his mania was slipping him into a deeper dementia and things would have just gotten worse, not better in the end... ~smiles softly~
I don't know when I will be around again, right now, we are scrambling to find a place that will allow us to bring the trailer into the site, as it has some issues that they want working before they will let us in... ~grumbles~ So for now, were we are at, is fine, we have the POA's permission, along with the co-owner and neighbors...
Rags, I will try and give you a call soon and tell you what is going on and to discuss a few things... Take care, my family, you are loved and missed muchly... ~looks around one last time as I blow kisses in all directions, as I poof into the shadows once more~
