Chicky,

I have 35 quarts of home canned tomatoes.....I was planning Bloody Mary's.......if you need them though.....I guess I can just do shots.











Don't pet that cat!

Hey guys, I just found something interesting. Apparently, rats and mice can’t burp. So you can kill them with baking soda. It is even pet and wildlife safe because it is neutralized by the rat’s stomach acid. It is the second recipe listed in this article.

I need to rant
I have an egg customer that I deliver to because he can't drive and would get a ride....showing up way late after he called on his way...lives 10 min away.
He has macular degeneration in one eye. He just got a blood clot in the other eye so is blind. :hit they gave him a shot that should help dissolve the blood clot in a couple of months. :barnie

He lives alone, in his 70's. needless to say he is depressed and somewhat suicidal. His son is next county over and works, has a family blah blah and can only help his dad on the weekends for a bit. His younger brother same deal. Senior services sent a 20yr old for 25 hrs a week, that doesn't show up and doesn't do want is asked. The 20yr old also is too interested in the pain medications. The church elders came by and said they would check on him every 3 DAYS:he mine you he is bashing into walls and gets lost in a small one story house.
So for some reason he has decided that I am the one to help him.:hit:hit:hit
I helped him over the phone with some dr things yesterday and brought over somethings today.. replaced the batteries in the remote. cooked him breakfast, went through a couple of weeks worth of mail, got the debit card and phone bill squared away. and after 2hrs I am exhausted... I am a hermit, :oops: he is a customer.. not sure why he picked me, but I hope someone else gets interested.
I said something about ast living, he said he would die first:th

I liked your post because you were kind enough to help him.
It really sounds like assisted living would help him tremendously.

His kid and brother prove that some people are disgustingly selfish.

Can he request that senior services send someone else? He could tell them that the person they sent made him feel very uneasy.

I am sorry Mo but it seems he trusts you and yes he needs someone he can trust.

:hugs

People trust hermits, it is a fact! Senior services are dookie at best. His best bet would be to place an ad and hire a live in helper or at least a scheduled privately hired individual.
People who are paid to do a job by the patient do far better than those who can do a crap job and be paid reguardless. Sorry you're learning the hidden powers of being a hermit.;)

Sorry don't have any good advice. He trusts you, sucks to be you. All I can suggest is be honest and open. That's what he expects.

Like others have said he likes and trusts you. I'm not sure who you can contact. His family appears to be useless. The person they sent to help seems to be out to help themselves. You may be able to get info from adult protective services. See if he can get a short term stay on a. rehab place till his one good eye is better. He may decide he likes it and reconsider an adult community.

:tongue:tongue:tongueYou have mine! Supposed to get a foot.

The saga continues. I think he is freaking out being blind and trapped in the house alone.
He wanted me to get him Orange juice.. and bring it over tonight.. I said ok after I put up the birds and go to the fitness center....I really needed to work out to get rid of some stress ya know:barnie....
and I would call at 7 before hand.. I call and I go and HIS SON IS THERE :ya( who has chickens so he must be ok):wee
The son is a very nice man. I said it didn't make sense for both of us to be there at the same time and when was best for him... he said nights and weekends, but not every night. I said good because those were bad times for me. Son and I exchanged numbers and I told the dad I would call him at 10am. I got out of dodge.
Also the dad had called the senior services earlier, and they said they would pull the worker.. then they said it would be a long time to get another... so I guess they decide that the worker would take him to appointments and such :idunno

The guy has no money to higher help.. (unless the son footed the bill, he has a business in Chicago)... I opened up the bank and retirement mail for him:th.... if had know I wouldn't have been charging him for eggs. I had my suspicions and had given him extra eggs before when I had a ton... But he is too proud to take total freebies.
So I feel better that the son is involved, and I guess the brother was there in the afternoon too. So he was exaggerating or feeling lost or something. The family is around and not abandoning him.:clap
