Is this part of some long borne fantasy about living in a "cathouse"?

Contact the welfare office and the Salvation Army for Monty. Maybe they can find a shelter that will take him in. Tell him he may be safer there.

Good idea, micropenis. I already tore down his shack.

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

I was researching Native Americans on my computer today when I looked up and saw Monty standing in the doorway of my den. Well actually, he was leaning considering he can barely walk. I lent him my wheelchair so he could sit in the sun outside. I just called ARMC, the hospital where he was at, and they said "we released him."

I don't know what his plans are but I'm NOT allowing him in my house to sleep or eat. The only thing remaining of his shack is a makeshift lean-to. He'll probably freeze out there but he's not my responsibility.

It looks like I haven't gotten rid of him after all. Shit.

Well so much for my firm resolve. Liz coerced me into letting Monty stay in her bedroom for a few days until she can find a permament residence for him. She did not want him to die in the the cold of his backyard shack.

Gawd help me, I am a wuss.

Yes, but a very human (or humane if you will) wuss.

Well River, we were both born in 1946. The only only difference is that your birth date was 1946 BCE 😄

Tomorrow I make several calls for places Monty to go:

* Salvation Army

* United Way

* Hospital social services

I don't want Monty to die of his injuries in my house. That's one headache I don't want or need at my age.

It's not being hard hearted or cruel in any way to say "I can't take care of this man" because you can't and shouldn't. There are people who can give him better care regardless of outcome. This is a case where a nursing home or some care facility can do a better job than you can. THe man has had major surgery and requires better care than you can give. It's not that you want to give lesser care, it is that they can do so much better.

You might have to call the State authorities or the county authorities in addition to those you listed. I don't know how it works in Califormia.

who told him he had a massive pancreatic infection. Naturally, they kept him there. "If" he returns here, I'll start making those calls.

Strangely, I hope he recovers.

Liz just received a call to return to the hospital. Monty has an infection in both lungs and possibly his liver as well.

Nothing new since Liz hasn't returned from the hospital yet. As usual, I'll keep you posted.

Liz is Monty's estranged wife or "strange wife" if you will :)

Hospital called to say Monty has pneumonia.

Strangely, I paid all my bills this month. Now I wait for my lottery winnings in the next drawing.

Hmmm I wonder if I should purchase a ticket?

Monty's nurse just left. I told her Monty needs to move elsewhere and the nurse said she'd contact a social worker to see what could be done.

Monty is in Liz's bedroom with no spleen and a one lung.

This was a bizarre 24 hours past.

Sometime last night my Internet stopped working. I called TimeWarner and the female technician blamed the problem on my browser, Safari, and told me to call Apple.

This morning I called TimeWarner again and a male technician told me it was caused by a bad Ethernet cable. He said a tech would deliver a new one by 3:00pm Sunday.

I was resolved to doing without the Internet all day Saturday. This evening, just for a lark, I clicked on Google, not really expecting it to connect. It connected to my astonishment.

I'll let them bring me a new Ethernet cable, I could probably use a new one anyways.

Computers and their operations can be very confusing to 64 year old men :)
