We had a quiet Sunday/Father's Day. DD called dh after they got off their 5 hour or so plane ride home and they were on their way home. I was wondering why it was so quiet (for a little while) next door and then realized their son's car was gone, so it appears they all went somewhere for the day. Then of course the 5 dogs barked off and on all day. It doesn't take much to set them off (a chipmunk, a bird), but hey, who cares about your neighbors, right?
Speaking of neighbors, we found out that our old drug dealing neighbors (one out of the 3) who had the walk up window for drug purchases, sold their place. They lived there for probably 35 or more years. DH saw on Zillow it sold last January. I said I'll bet the guy (dad to the drug dealers) died. Zillow has the link to the county website for the parcel and then I clicked on a link to "Sale excise tax affadavit" and it just lists the wife's name as the seller and says " "her name", a single person". The I googled the guys name and he died in 2020 (age 69). Not surprised he died young, he was an alcoholic, at a minimum. Looks like she had to do quite a bit of fixing up inside, that's for sure and from the pics some of the rooms she was still in the process. Google also showed she now lives in North Carolina. Sorry to anyone who lives in NC! Hopefully she isn't the piece of SH$t neighbor she was to our neighborhood!! Doesn't everyone let their adult sons deal meth and heroin out of your house for years and years?
I may have opened a can of worms, haha. When I installed the landline for my mom I programmed in my # and uncle's #. Only apparently I didn't get his entered correctly so she would push the button and get a recording that this # is not valid. She never told me this. I just kept seeing this strange number on her call log as an outgoing call and couldn't figure out where she was getting it. A couple of recent visits I tried to fix it, but I didn't have the instructions and couldn't figure it out. Finally at my visit a week ago, I had gotten the instructions to fix it. Well, now she's calling him all the time. She called him 3 times yesterday, because of course she doesn't remember she already called him. I told him this probably wasn't a good thing for me to fix! I told him to let me know if the calls are getting too much and I'll just remove his number. He calls her pretty regularly, so that would probably just be easier for him than dealing with her repeated calling. Plus, if he doesn't answer she will keep trying. I was outside working in the yard for about an hour yesterday (I had already talked to her before lunch) and she tried calling me 5 times. I saw the notification on the 2nd try and she left a voicemail that all was good, she was just calling to say hi, call her when I can. Then she called 3 more times in the next hour.
I called the caregiver this morning and left a message, so hopefully she will call back soon.
JCPenney has St. John Bay burmuda shorts for $10.00 right now. Down side is you would have to pay shipping costs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
DeleteI think you should record the dogs' barking for the neighbors.
DeleteDepending on where in NC the woman moves, she may be right at home.
Now you know who where she got that number...lol. The other day, I kept calling a number, leaving a message and wondering why I did not get a response. I could feel my cheeks warm when I realized I had entered a wrong number and put a name to it.
I hope Liz will be a good fit for your mom's needs. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!
ReplyDeletehoping we can get her transitioned into Liz's help is mom's new "normal"
