This is the most appalling tread I have ever read. You would think that the establishment would be offering assistance instead of pointing the finger like it is all your fault and threatening goal of all things. I gather from other treads that you're not a young man yourself? So what kind of support system do you have?

I wish I could drive around to your place with maybe a mop and a bucket (& maybe a saw, a hammer and some nails) and help you out with some of the chores, but I'm 10,000 miles away.

I know people here in my home town that live in far worst circumstances than you describe and the authorities don't want to know about it.

Sounds like to me that you have the right plan of action.

Good luck and my prayers for you and Mum.

As the former chairman of my city's Zoning and Land Use Committee and elected to the Planning Council, I can't help but wonder why they are trying to force you out of your home, for that is what it seems to me that they are doing. Have you pissed someone off? Is the neighborhood being "gentryfied"? Is this a political ploy to solve "urban problems" that only exist at election time? It doesn't seem that the interests of your mother or you are being protected very well. Call the most politically active local TV station you can find, emphasize your personal anguish and the urgent time frame. You may get results. --FLO--

Yes, I have sent a copy the the Boss at the White House to see what he can come up with. He has the means to check the real Rats out. You got friends in high places. Just get her home now and stopp listening to the wrong ideas. If they "put You in Jail" they have to use BIG CHAINS and a BIG TOW TRUCK , right ?? Johan N3RF

Hmmm,

More than likely one of the cops was !BOINKING! the social services lady, or probably wants to...

...either that or they had to get up from coffee and doughnuts to take the call...

This is a common problem with not having a lot of money...

Mackie, keep us in the loop, O.K.? Don't go selling C-Cells by the Sea Shore just to rainse funds...

Is BOINKING something lawmen are supposed to do ??

Write a letter to the Boss and tell them Johan told You to do it, and I think the Address is 1600 Pa Avenue, Washington,DC 20044 (not sure what Zip he has).

Somebody will LISTEN , and put a copy on it here as well, because we all do Listen and Ponder and Ponder.

Get one Room "certified" clean and bring Your Mother home and she will love it and so will You and we as well. If any Rat show up , keep the door locked.

This is obviously a stressful time for Wolfie, but I think it might be for the best. It is always good to do a good spring cleaning! And I suspect the mouse problem is more than one or two ...

Wolfie the thing you do have to ask yourself though is: for how much longer are you the best caregiver for your mother? ... I know it is a very, very tough decision, but you are getting older yourself and don't have a lot of monetary means. It is also a huge burden (despite your love for her). You deserve to have some freedom in your life too. It sounds to me like you have already given her years of care, and there is no shame in having to seek external help.

Macwolf,

I would send you Rupert but he dosent like to fly/travil. Yesterday he was so happy when he came in and showed me this (what looked to be a small quail) in his jaws. He then tried to get a better grip, lost the bird which left through the open window at a high rate of speed with Rupert hot on its tail. The only thing we got to save from it was a feather, which of course his daddy will keep, his daddy likes keeping things in little jars.

Call the local Pet-impound and ask for the most perfect Mouse-catching Cat they have and Borrow it for a week or two. I am sure they know which Cat they have is a good "Mouser".

But have that room ready for You Mother - NOW - and dont' hesitate. She wont mind if You go get her home without "EXPLANATIONS" to anyone.

Their REPORTS on what AILS her etc etc You can retrieve later if You really need it.

Besides You are a Young "Squirt". I was born in 1929, so LISTEN to Your ELDERS ...OK

Save TIME and MONEY is the rule with no exceptions... 73 and 88 from N3RF

Next thing you know, social services will be complaining about his cat infestation ...

How many Mice makes a MOUSE INFESTATION ?? HOW MANY CATS makes a Cat infestation. Several cases recently in the news about having tooo many cats. Ask the MARINES to help come to Get Your mother FREE. They are Young and smart and they do not go for any BS...

Can You count on Firemen ?? Talk to the FireBrigade to give You support. A latter up to her window to resque Your mother so she can come home now. N3RF

Mac, go look at this critter repellent looks like it might be the ticket laddie. I wonder if it works on ex-wives?

I can just see it now, Neiborhood up in arms from mice invasion, caused believed to be from one guy driving off the mice in his house. Investigation pending.

My own life feels on the verge of disaster. Your situation either intensifies my fear or calms it. I am not certain which applies.

MacTheWolf (imported) wrote: Sun Jun 18, 2006 3:08 pm Friday morning I told mom I was going to the Humane Society to get a rabies shot for my white german sheppard. The trip took longer than I thought and mom, of course, panicked. She frantically called 911 saying, "my son is missing, my dog is missing, and I'm all alone and scared." When I arrived home, the police were awaiting me. They chewed me out because my house was cluttered, messy and overrun by mice. Office on aging showed up ten minutes later followed by Adult Protective Services.

I was given a choice: allow them to take mom to a hospital for 10 days to two weeks or go to jail for charges of "elder abuse." I accepted the former and they took mom away. Cops and A.P.S. said mom could return when house is both uncluttered and mouse free.

Uncluttering and general house cleaning is the easy part. I plan to spend one day cleaning each room. Mice wise, I'll need to have the house tented and fumigated. During fumigation, dogs can stay in back yard but cat and I need to find a cheap motel for 24 hours.

Today I cleaned her room and discovered all her blood pressure meds, nerve meds and sleeping pills were missing. I panicked. When I visited mom at psych ward tonight, head nurse reassured me they had all of mom's meds. Would have been nice if they had told me as they were taking mom's meds from the house.

Anyone know how much they'll charge to tent a house?

DOUBLE WHAMMY

Today I was hit with two slighty different problems:

1. I went to see mom at hospital to get her to sign the Power of Attorney so I could get the babk loan to get the house tented. Mom was in a foul mood saying, since I won't take her home to the mice, she won't sign it, and since she is forbidden to come home with mice here = Catch 22.

2. Hospital informed me mom will be released in next few days, likely to a homeless shelter. Somehow, I can't understand how a homless shelter is safer than mice here. *sigh*

Have you tried a local legal aid society? If you get a lawyer involved, the city might back down. I agree that it makes no sense, but that doesn't surprise me. Little the bureaucrats do makes sense.

Posted: **Tue Jun 27, 2006 6:53 am**

So - can You tell me - or us - who is in charge of this release - where is the "hospital" or is it a "jail" where Your mother is - and phone numbers etc. To get some pull we must work with specifics. and maybe "not" keeping it "secret" will the world be able to take a closer look. I myself keeps no secrets .. So let it all hand out, and maybe the culprits will start to worry ??? JSm N3RF

If she gets to the homeless shelter she won't be there a week and you will get her to come home.

Theoritically, Adult Protective Services decides where she goes next. It was they who removed her from her home.

So who do THEY work for .. the Governor Swarzeneger ??? Write him a note that Johan said -- JOHAN-in-Washington said --..

Names, Numbers and Location is all to clear THEIR confusion up - they thrive on the salary they make - so theoretically they cannot afford any MISTAKES.

What about that Big Cat ?? and the Cleaned up ROOM with a friends CERTIFICATION.. Think THink THink - there got to be more really GOOD ideas out THERE - out HERE - etc etc... DO IT NOW and know that WE ALL in the USA is and are on YOUR SIDE...JSm N3RF

So mom doesn't understand the gravity of the situation?

What city is this anyway?

All the best to you, I really hope it all works out for you!

Posted: **Wed Jun 28, 2006 1:27 am**

I'm meeting a notary in front of the hospital today at 1:00pm. Wish me luck.

Also, Bill, the Office on Aging guy, just called me saying mom would be released today or tomorrow.

He's coming by to look at the house tomorrow at 9:00am.

Posted: **Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:37 am**

As long as she is released to You, her son. N3RF

Posted: **Wed Jun 28, 2006 7:28 am**

MOM is home

and I'm back to being a 24-hour step-n-fetchet

Tomorrow I begin kibbutzing her about getting a loan to get house repaired and tented.

Well, I had liberty for 12 days. And now I've seen the Promise Land. I may not get there with you but someday we as a people will get to the Promised Land.
