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

OK, I finally made it to my doctor's appointment.

There will be no exercises nor physical therapy. According to my lady doctor, I don't have a psiatic nerve problem. She says I have arthritus (sp).

Tylenol arthritis.. I have the same issue. It is part of getting old. Kristoff and Paolo are both young so they should not have arthritis issues. But us that are older, have a horrible time making the stair steps at times.. Today was one of those bad days.. I hung on to the stair railing and was in agony with each step.. I need to be in a ranch style house again. I understand your pain, Macwolfie.

In my case, I only get pain when I'm walking. Sitting or lying down is pain-free

Oh, my doctor gave me an Rx for my condition - Naproxen 250 mg = LOL

I have Real Estate agents coming over to look at my house to give me an offer. I'll let you know what they offer while laughing at my situation.

OK, they just left. THey said they'll think about a price and call me back in a few days.

[Sweetpickle (imported)]

They claim we're developing a shortage of houses for sale here.

And how often does a wolf den come on the market.

Maybe you can retire to a nice zoo.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

The real estate guy called back today. Best offer he can make is $20,000.

Sounds like it is a low ball bid on the land value. Find out if the government (local, county, whatever) has valuations on line. That will give you a better idea. Don't hesitate to get another agent involved. BTW with your income being what it is, how are you paying property taxes, or is that the reason you are selling? Especially with squatters and no rents.

Mac-

I would like to see your house. I am confident there are NO houses in southern California worth that little. Those guys know that if you have NO IDEA what the house is worth , you just might take $20,000. I am guessing that your folks paid more than that for 40-50 years ago. If you want my help, let me know. I will make the drive.

Lurker - You're more than welcome to come see my house. It needs a lot of work including plumbing, ceiling, new roof, trash in backyard and driveway.

Unless the county condemns it you might as well hang onto it.

I don't think $20,000 would pay your rent for very long, and

you probably can't even buy a trailer for that price.

I suppose you could buy a used SUV and go homeless.

You should be able to go onto Google Earth and see the current market value of the property. Even in San Bernardino Co. the lot alone should be worth more than $20,000. Don't do business with these people.

I had dinner tonight with an 18 year old girl. She paid for the pizza & the lasagna. I had forgotten how much fun 18 year olds were

NEWS about Monty - He was raving like a lunatic on Monday night and threatening and accusing everybody. I called the police

and the police actually took him away and drove him to ARMC, our county hospital.

As of today, they haven't released him yet.

[Sweetpickle (imported)]

I guess it's like monkeys, the police turn out to be helpful from time to time.

Maybe Monty will get lost in the system.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

AS of 8:34 PM, they still haven't released him - woo woo

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

It is getting to be that I tremble with apprehension whenever I see you have made a new post to this thread. What disaster has now come to Mr. Wolf? Has his shoe started on fire with his foot in it and is he too dehydrated to summon enough urine to quench the flames? And now, at last, good news! --FLO--

Monty gets released from the psycho ward Tuesday. I spoke to him on the phone: first time he ever sounded drug free.

Yeah, it won't last.

Why am I being reminded of the title of a 1997 movie, "The Full Monty"?

I have some difficulty with never hoping that miracles may actually be possible. And so, hope that "it" will last, not only for your improved situation, also for Monty's, if such be achievable.

With those who absolutely know that something that can be at least imagined to be hinting of the supposedly miraculous, I ask such silly, simple questions, as, "You believe in the big bang as such? What banged, and where came it from?" or, "Tell me how there actually is anything..."

I make no claim to have ever encountered, or not encountered, the sort of miracle that would "fix" your "predicament"; neither can I make the absolute claim that such is necessarily forever not possible.

So, I keep a sense of hope alive, hopefully not merely in vain, that "the phenomenon of life" will be genuinely decent to you.

"Tell me how there actually is anything..."

Has got to be the best part of janekane's post --FLO--

Still think you should borrow a smoke machine, shout fire, get them all out the house and nail the doors shut!

A social worker, where Monty is being kept, called here to speak to Liz but she was out on errands. I told the social worker that I didn't want Monty back. She asked why so I listed my reasons:

(1) his drug use.

(2) his threatening me and the neighbors

(3) his unfounded claims that we are all trying to kill him with poison gas

(4) his theft of my property

(5) his stealing of my electricity

(6) his turning my driveway and backyard into a junkyard.

(7) his playing loud music at 2:00 to 4:00 am keeping me awake

She seemed very interested in my reasons for not wanting him back.

Monty has a court date this week.

[~Tiamat~ (imported)]

Is number 3 really so unfounded?

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Well, I don't deny he has enemies or that they are interested in doing him in, but... it might be easier to just mug him.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

Since Liz missed Monty's court date, the hospital may hold on to him a few more weeks
