A few weeks back I posted about calling the police s/m

about dark barking next door to me. If you remember, I was feeling a lot of guilt and sadness in the beginning because I love dogs so much and did not want to do anything to make things worse for them.


Well, at first my very verbal neighbor was very compliant and I almost never heard a bark for the first two weeks. Now since Wednesday (my day off, thankfully) the large dog who sits at the back door wanting back in the house is being kept out almost the entire day again. Wednesday morning was terrible. I kept looking out the window seeing him sit by the door, and any noise that I make in my kitchen or the guy downstairs might make obviously gets him going again. If you remember, this young guy next to me got furious, was waving his arms and screaming at me in front of the police. I don't think I have to tell you that I don't want to do that again. Why would anyone buy a beautiful dog just to put it out and have it bark to get back in? He has been sitting there now since 7:30 a.m. and it is now after 10:30 am.  He does not bark continously, but on and off for hours and hours, sometimes with a minute or so break. It is warm, nice sunny weather here, so the dog is not in extreme heat or cold. They take him in at night.  I have been going through a depression that is impossible to describe. I can't afford to move, but I am so tired of seeing this poor thing sitting by the back door in an array of toys, debris, etc. This was a decent neighborhood before Mr. Inconsiderate moved next door. If I call the police again things will be terrible. I live here alone. Thank you just for listening. The dog is not the problem. He is a beautiful dog and just wants to go in. He deserves a better life. They also have two Daschunds and they are inside most of the time. The big dog is not tied and has a small yard to run in while he is out.

Have you tried calling the police?
I live in a quiet suburb of a larger city and the police are very strict about keeping the peace and keeping out the riff-raff. I've been here about 16 months and I've called the police about 8 times. Other neighbors also call. Nothing much gets done because the hoodlumbs are too smart to be caught red-handed. But there's a long list at the police station of how many times the cops have been called to that address.
Keep calling the police and s/m
You can get restraining orders for longer than 10 days.  The initial one is always temporary.  She needs to see an attorney on top of the cops.  It sounds like the cops are sympathizing with him and not doing their jobs properly.  The cops can verify how many times they have been called and have come out.  This is what the judge needs to issue the restraining order.  I would keep calling the cops and documenting EVERYTHING.  This is about the only way to get him to stop.  You need to do the same.  It sounds like your dad has either a serious mental problem or is just a kid that never grew up and needs to get over himself.  An attorney can get you more information on the restraining order, but the first time he violates it, you need to call the cops.  Who cares if he takes off?  The cops have an OBLIGATION to go and check it out.  If he is a habitual offender of violating it, they can make him wear an ankle bracelet to track him.  There are things that can be done, but only you and your mother can make it happen.  You can't just sit back and take no for an answer.  Be strong, otherwise you'll be dealing with this the rest of your life.
You posted this a couple of weeks ago,
Just curious, why again?
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
Cut the snippy remarks back and forth. Spelling police are not

going back a couple weeks....

anyone remember when - forget his name - sang * geek in the pink * ?  I LOVED THAT....have downloaded the original to my iPod BUT he dedicated it to his grandma and after he sang it, Paula asked him if his grandma would know what geek in the pink means and he just shrugged. 


Can someone tell me what * geek in the pink * means?  I am over 50, have asked my youngest, who is 25 years old, and she did not know.  Figured SOMEone here could clue me in before I go around the neighborhood jogging and singing it out loud!!


TIA Idol Fans!!


PS - I also downloaded the Jamiroquai song the other guy sang.  Those were the two BEST renditions, just love those guys.


Bring him in. My BIL had this a few weeks back...

went in, had cath done and had two 70-75% stenosed arteries, CHF, 10% function and may need a transplant. They stabilized him with meds and he is at home with a cardiac vest. He has not felt well for the past year, but kept putting the doctor visit off. Of course, they told him that had he come in sooner it wouldn't be this bad. Good luck.


You posted back on 1/02...sm

and a lotta folks gave you great suggestions on food and nutrient supplements for your old furkid.  Go back and review those posts. 


I'm sorry to hear that she's still losing weight. 


I've had quite a few cats and when they get unsteady on their feet, can't get to the litter by themselves and losing weight, ya know what time it is. (And I know you don't want to hear that from your original post).  


Just keep her comfy, feed her favorite goodies and love on her.  Cat              


sorry about the posted by I forgot to change my name back nm

I posted back in late August about cc debt - sm
in response to someone else giving advice on what to do.  I told you about how I had a ton of debt my DH knew nothing about, how I was afraid of him, etc.  and that I just did not know how to tell him. I consulted a lawyer and got some insight and advise in case things went really bad when I did tell him.  Well I finally bit the bullet and told him on Monday.  He was off from work, kids were in school, I wrote a 4 page letter laying it all out.  I went out in the LR and I asked him if he loved me and was happy in our marriage, I got yes's to both questions.  Then I handed him the note (bawling at this point) and said I was going out for a little while and we would talk when I came back.  He called me 10 minutes later, upset yes, but not nuts as I expected.  We ended up talking for 2 hours.  He was quite good about it which really surprised me, he was in shock though.  Later last night after he got drunk not horribly so but enough, though he did not turn nasty.  I had asked him not to drink but he ignored that, so as a result he broke down said a few things which I probably deserved, though he does not believe I was scared of him....denied ever threatening to kill me, said if he did he was kidding and it was his sick sense of humor.  I told him I take all death threats seriously.  But comes down to he does not want to divorce over it, for which I am happy and grateful, and I think this will ultimately help us.  We are taking a 401K loan for the debt on his cards, and I will go to a credit consolidator for the debt on my cards......any recommendations on that front?  My credit is in the dump so this is not going to make it much worse.  In five years we will be free and clear, paid off debt and house at that point.  I have a huge breach of trust to heal and don't know how to go about it, that is what is hurting him the most and the fact I waited so long to tell him, couldn't understand why I felt I could not come to him when it all started.  So he learned what a conniving wife he has and I learned that I had what I wanted all along, just didn't know it.  We still have a lot to work out, and I am in for 5 or more years of snide backbiting remarks at times I am sure, but I think there is hope for us actually. 
Report him to the police, let the police...
help you solve the problem.
It is obvious that you and your mom alone cannot do it on your own.
You are much too lenient, if you let it go on, it will not end well.
And what would the police have done? I'm sure the police sm
have a lot of things going on they have to attend to, like traffic accidents, etc. What could the police have done in this situation? Make the lady take the dog to the vet? Take the dog themself? I don't know of any policeman who would have been able to do anything except maybe give the dog's owners a ticket for allowing loose dogs to lie in the street. Yes, it's a sad situation. But it was not the driver's dog. I don't think she had any obligation whatsoever to this dog or its owners. Dogs do not belong in the street!
I'd still try the police

Chances are good the little varmint is on their radar for something else.  If they do come out, and if they manage to come out often enough, maybe Mom will get po'd enough to do something about it.   Or maybe he'll do something stupid enough with the cops there that they take further action.


 


Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

The police have enough to take care of besides
a person calling them if they got a card from an unknown person?? That is not what the police are for, them out investigating a birthday card and someone else is being robbed, assulted or whatever.. My goodness, think about your answer before you do post. The person on the post seems to be a caring person. If you have emergency, then the police should be called!!
The police should be told about this, & maybe someone in the

You can get a police escort to go with you (sm)
If you have somewhere else you can go, you can get the police to escort you to get your things.
I would call the police for sure and
state to them you feel there is abuse going on. You can remain anonymous. I once went to look at a puppy for sale and the breeder brought him out into the living room. The puppy wouldn't even come out from under the table. It was so scared. I left there thinking I'd never seen a puppy act that way and it weighed on my mind. A few days later I read in the paper this man had been arrested for cruelty to animals. Trust your instinct and report this.
definitely would call police
and file a report. Then i would inform hospital that if the ring is returned within 24 hours, no charges will be filed, no questions. Otherwise it will be vigorously pursued.
And others can't help being the niceness police.
moo
And if the police and school do not take it seriously s/m
as some small towns do, I would also call the local newspaper, television station, etc until you get the results that you want.  Zero tolerance is zero tolerance no matter who it is. 
Please report this to the police (sm)
This is threatening and dangerous behavior. he is not afraid to knock on your door or to leave a note. Please call the police and report this immediately.
Thought Police
Oh, heck. So she has the hots for a boy-toy. Big deal! Who cares!? She already said she's not going to do anything about it.

We all have thoughts, fantasies. I'm assuming you're human & have them too. I know I have. I just figure it's some primal response to height or face shape or jaw prominence or something else that the godhead specifically engineered in order to ensure survival of the fittest, & I just laugh & forget about it because regardless of biology, the social situation won't accommodate it. As it sounds like OP has done.

Relax, for heaven's sake. Thoughts do not abuse make.

I would probably talk to the police...sm
Maybe they could go pay him and his parents a visit.

There is no telling what my husband would do. I don't want to think about it. He would probably go to jail for beating the kid. LOL
The police can watch your car --sm
while you testify. This is not their first rodeo ride either, and probably get this all the time. Let his friends try it and get caught. Then you can testify against them too. ha ha. Glad to hear you are going!! thumbs up!
perhaps I may have a new calling...sm

old timey comfort food....Been doin' southern style soul food for hubby, but chitterlins I just cannot deal with.  He's cooked them over the years in the house and I just absented myself until the smell had dissipated.  (Before you ask, that would be Ellie's intestines).   


How about lamb shanks and barley with carrots and onions, a little salt and pepper cooked on the back burner on low for hours?  You can't find lamb ankles anywhere these days.


Is there a chance that you can just make the liver or stuffed peppers for yourself and air out the house so hubby doesn't freak?  He doesn't have to eat it....just throw him a hot dog.    Cat


I think i will. I'm going to keep calling the

have you tried calling 211?

Most communities have a 211 system set up for all sorts of assistance.  I called when I broke my tooth and they set me up with an income-based fee clinic here in town.  It is amazing how a toothache can become all-consuming.


211 helps people refinance their mortgages, elderly needing a ride, mental health, physical/laboratory screenings, food banks, almost anything you could need from your community.... give it a try -- hope it helps.


I would call the police now - he was scouting to see if you were alone and if there were any men

About 5 years ago an MT was murdered in Knoxville by someone selling magazines.  She worked for a national and was alone, but in a nice neighborhood, upstairs working in a townhouse.  That guy may seem weak enough but he may have partners.  Didn't mean to scare you, but it really made me get cold chills.


Yes - I saw one here who helps with police cases
and she was very accurate.  I do believe some people have this gift.  If you think about it, shows like Medium and Heroes are becoming more and more popular and I think people are opening up to the fact that this is real.  I love John Edward too but he's booked for the next trillion years! 
I can't believe all of you are upset about the police comment...
but not that she will be sent to a "meaner mom and dad". lol Priceless and typical.

To me, no biggie. Plus I don't particularly like cops ;)

Poster was having a moment. There is far worse people say and do to kids. And that can be turned around, easily. Geez.

:)
Spelling police? Pleeeeeze no...
Unless you NEVER make mental errors (its versus it's, your versus you're), please don't correct our mistakes.  Rest assured, I always kick myself when I see a typo or grammatical error that I've made without anyone having to point it out. However, this board being named 'gab' implies a casual come-as-you are atmosphere...i.e. no spelling police. We will return the favor.   Thanks!!!
It is better to call the police or the ambulance
if he is in such a miserable condition. Sleeping his stupor off in his truck.
He might die due to alcohol poisoning.
Do something, have him institutionalized and get rid of him. He is playing you! Don't let there be a next time, worse than this time.
yes, but I did apologize for being the spelling police.


I still think you should contact your police dept...

Calling when going somewhere and letting you know
she arrived safely is one thing. Teaching a child that forgetting something once in a while is some horrible thing is another story all together. We ALL, and I do mean ALL, forget things from time to time. I don't care how many lists you make, how organized you are or anything else, we all forget things. It may be a coat, something on our list that we made or somebody's birthday, but we ALL forget things. My children did learn from their mistakes but, once again, not from cruelty, but simply because it was a life lesson. They are both wonderful you adults who work full time jobs and are responsible people. While they had guidelines and rules to follow and knew and reaped the consequences of not following the rules set before them, we did not rule with an iron thumb. We knew they were human and would make mistakes along the way and learn from them. Sorry this was so long, but this type of treatment of children really makes me sad. I wanted my children to know that I loved them more than I wanted to rule them. They still respect me and I talk to both of them several times a week and have a wonderful relationship.
Anyone Want a Calling Card?
I just bought a calling card for work and it screws up the dictation too bad.  Would anyone like it for personal use?  I can e-mail the number and PIN to you.  No charge, just don't want it to go to waste, and we have a cell phone for LD.
CALLING ALL MTS WITH FIBRO!!!
Hi. I am looking for some helpful hints as to working with fibro and how others of you deal with the pain and fatige, etc. Thanks in advance.
Oh my gosh--calling you Ma! (sm)

Wow does that bring back memories!  My mother, now deceased, HATED and I mean HATED being called "ma."  She used to nearly backhand us if we said it...she said we sounded like bleating sheep! 


That is too funny that it grates you the same way!     


Keep calling them, they are supposed to pay - sm
for the vet bills, granted that is of little solace but you should not have to pay for their negligence.
I think you missed your calling, Cat . . SM
should have been a CHEF!  
Did you try calling around locally?

Calling all cat lovers - I'm at my wit's end

To make a long story short I need some expertise.  My male cat was a sprayer before we got him fixed way back when.  Then he decided to pee in our dining room and we took up the rug and put in a wood floor (this was quite a few years ago - cat is 11).  Then he proceeded to pee in all the corners of the family room.  We just had wood floor put on there and all has been well.  Until about a week ago, he decided to pee again on the dining room wood floor, no where else, but he still uses his litter box.  I had cleaned it with vinegar and it seemed like the smell went away and I thought all was well until I again caught him peeing on the wood floor in the same area more than once.  My husband has had it (he destroyed a lot of things already from when we first got him).  He is ready to take him away somewhere.  I don't know what to do next.  My husband doused the area with vinegar again.  Anyone have any ideas?  Anything that will keep him away, or any other tricks to get he smell out.  Any help would be appreciated.  Tonight will not be a very happy night.   


One more thing - about calling (sm)
Their leader will not allow them to use the phone to call - period. they are not allowed to call their parents, even though there are payphones right there at the trading post.
Name calling is never, ever acceptable
especially to a child. That is the kind of thing that will stay with him forever unless his father apologizes and has a little talk with him about how daddy was wrong.
hubby name-calling

Too bad the child in question didn't say 'go look in the mirror and say it to you'...i know, that's is a childish response but NO WAY your husband should think calling a child horrible names is acceptable.  I wonder if his parents talked to him that way when he was a child...makes one wonder...


Hubby should apologize to that baby.  Mom, just explain to your baby that people should'nt say bad words to other people; and always let your baby know that he come to you at ANYTIME...perhals this sounds simplistic but it's sad that adults (OR ALLEDGED adults) think its okay to tear down a child's self-confidence this way!!


Have you tried calling your doctor and
explaining the situation. Maybe he will write you a prescription and then just get it filled WITHOUT using your insurance.
Sheesh yourself, and why the name-calling? sm
Just because someone disagrees with your opinion? The point of the CDW poster is that if you are tracing "life" back to conception, you are including those fertilized ova. Just like test tube EMBRYOS.
Spelling police is not necessary on the MTStars forums.

But why didn't you just call anonymously? The police could have sm
taken care of it had you called anonymously. You didn't have to be outside with him while the dog was barking. I don't understand.....
