Prayer Requests

hey cherok33, are you done already?

 

I wish! Scheduled procedure is at 930. Very anxious, but valium is actually helping...still so scared. Just ready to get it over with :/ thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers :freehug: Dr. is awesome and I feel the strength so im going to walk in faith.

 

you will be alright. if your doc is good, it will be just unpleasant, but not necessarily painful. i ll be thinking of you

 

Once the numbing agent kicks in, it's a walk in the park. I've had 4. And I can't handle epinephrine, so just getting a cavity filled is dreaded.

 

seriously praying the drugs kick in quick. I had one years ago, but 2 @ the same time is like whoa...thank you for the encouragement :freehug:

 

thank you so much, Tam :freehug:

 

hey tam, how s your dad?

 

good if he does better, but oh wow! cant you talk to him? my dad hated being sick and in need of help and he really turned out being an ass to anybody around him coz of that- until i told him that we all understand he feels bad but that that is no excuse to be unfriendly to everybody.
a home nurse would definetly be a good idea. they can handle such situations with a distance, since there are no personal feelings involved. maybe he needs to understand that your mom needs that support to avoid him from throwing the next out.
and no need to thank me for that, for real. :freehug:

 

I am so sorry to hear all this Tam, it's so very difficult watching our parents get older and having to come to terms with what is best for them. It can be very discouraging too, especially when you are dealing with dementia, a very difficult disease to live with and to take care of. I will pray for you and your family....stay strong for your mom my dear friend.

 

I could use all the prayer I can get today. I attempting to evict some very irresponsible tenants from the first floor apartment in my home. While I think I have a pretty good case (late/non-payment of rent and at least 4 other lease violations), I'm just scared the MDJ won't see things my way or there will be some dumb loophole I'll fall through.

The latest in this saga is that a dog they've had on the premises since they signed the lease (which has a "No Pets" provision), had been kept in a large closet in their apartment. The dog chewed through the wiring that leads from the thermostat in my part of the house to the furnace in the basement, resulting in the heat to the entire house running for about 18 hours straight. My house is over 100 years old and I have the original radiators - they were so hot you couldn't touch them. And the tenants have polyester drapes that they tucked down behind the radiator.....need I say more? Created a very unsafe situation not to mention a gas bill I'm afraid to even open.

For the sake of my financial security and my sanity, I need to get them out ASAP.

Thanks for your prayers.

 

you have two choices...we can send TDK over to debate the issue to it's death causing them to run for their lives....or we can send of petty to physically bounce them into the street...please choose your option and I will send a request to GOD

 

Hahahaha!!! Time is of the essence and I value my sanity, so we'll go directly to Petty!!

One small victory: The MDJ ruled in my favor and awarded me lost rent, court costs and damages, (which I'll never see, but it's the thought that counts, right?) and the right to possession. Now I wait for 11 days to see if they'll appeal (or just move the heck out). If they don't, I have to file an Order for Possession and wait ANOTHER 11 days, after which the constables will physically remove them if they're still there. I'm PLEADING with God that it won't go that long....they have trashed the place and it will take a while to ready it for a new tenant and I need one in there in a hurry...

 

I am so glad you posted this...I consider it a sign that I should not rent a room in my house...I hope this is resolved soon for you!

 

If you do it, be excruciatingly choosy! I've been through 3 sets of tenants in less than 2 years. The first tenants came with the house. Had no choice there. They bailed on me in less than 2 months. Lease had just renewed. I got someone in there quickly, and he lasted a year, but was at least reliable. He had a DUI but was good for the rent. Within that year, he lost his job, had to quit school and paid his rent out of savings. Then he ended up in jail for parole violation. (Going to your parole officer with alcohol on your breath isn't advisable, btw. Lol). He moved out and I got a young couple in. After 2-1/2 months, they broke up, she moved out and left him hanging - he got a relative to move in and.....here we are. They use the apartment like a party pad. People (all cousins, don't ya know) crashing there, in and out all the time, smoking, drinking. The place looks like a frat house. Their living room is right below my bedroom so I get to experience it all....

I became a landlord so I could own a home. I want to resign now.

 

They sound like the tenants from hell. Best of luck Chessie.

 

Thanks, babe. :freehug:
