Status: offline 		I don't know quite how to start, it took me a half an hour just to name this thread.

Today there was a big argument between K (my sinister) and C, my roomie.They let it all hang out his time. It started with the nature of favors, and just went downhill from there. But we are not candidates for the Springer show, so all is well right now. It all went into all kinds of shit, he remodeled the upstairs so it could be rented, but she took it, as is her perogative. Then it went into he charges me a month's rent for a day's work, not quite exactly, but this last project I put him on was a masonry job and he is a mason.

The argument culminated in him asserting that my family wants everything done for free, and her with if it's a day per month rent, what kind of fucking friend are you to my brother ? And just what the fuck is a favor ? And that he is a leech and all that. But nobody stood up, and at the end of it all was a moment of silense, at which time after a suitable pause I said "Y'all feel better now ? ".

They both said yes.

Now this all proceeds a previous argument between the Brick Queen and I of a few days ago. He worked hard at my Ma's house and wanted to get high. He asked me to GIVE him $20, which I did, and though I don't really like it, he got high and had a good night's sleep after. Fine. Bit later the Racoon needs to BORROW $15 for a prescription because of his special talent that he somehow ran himself over with a pickup truck at work last week. Gotta admit he has to have some real talent to do that. So now the guy I GAVE the $20 is on my case, saying that he is treated unfairly because I am not on the Racoon's case to get my LOANED $15 back.

I knew this was headed south. This is the stupid MF who got my car towed for pulling into a handicap spot. And I would have no problem with it except at first he was trying to claim it was not his fault. Well he's been set straight on that, and at the time I took my piano, which he adores, off premesis. He will not touch it until he pays the tow charge, and he knows it. Well the other day with this new bout of bullshit, he was basically acting like a five year old.

So I responded in kind, and grabbed MY laptop which he is addixted to and has his Paltalk account, and Elizebeth, my acoustivc guitar, the only one that really stays in tune. And I am the only one in the house who knows how to properly tune a guitar. I let him have the laptop since, but not the gutiar, and I think I'll play it tonight.

Know why ? "Your family wants everything done for free". How dare he say that to my sinister who pays over half of the taxes and insurance on this place, where he lives for fucking free.

But at the end of it all was "Do y'all feel better now ?". The answer was yes and like I said, it's as if had never happened.

Opinions ? (this one might be interesting, and all this is absolutely true)

Still, I have this philosophy of 'don't shit where you sleep.' Meaning, if I am fortunate enough to have a friend who is generous enough to allow me to live rent free in his home, I wouldn't be causing so much drama. I'd be as helpful and as unassuming as possible.

As for his feelings of being used. Well, sometimes people get into a bad headspace and acquire bad attitudes. You can possibly help prevent this by communicating what you feel is a fair rent and what he feels is equitable reimbursement for labor - see how they balance out. This may not work, if if neither of you has an idea of what is reasonable, but yanno, I dunno.

Maybe you should return the piano, pull out the guitar and the three of you get together and sing Kumbaya or something.

Maybe your sister and him had other tensions-signals-inunendo- and this is just a chapter of it.

Status: offline 		Kumbaya ? please no. We would all puke ! LOL.

While I hate to lose the piano, the official story is she got it because when he got my car towed she got it out on her CC, and it was about $200. I paid $500 for it a few years ago, and if asshole would not have taken the attitude that it was not his fault, I would have never removed it.

Fucking Christ, it seems like I am raising children here. That's wrong, because I thought of the condition of the world and I conciously decided not to have children, I don't fucking deserve this. And I like kids, I really do. Kids like me too, and everything is fine there, but I actually decided not to make any. Trojans were my friend, as well as Women with their tubes tied. I didn't want to inject a kid into the life as it was on this planet, and seeing how it has become, I am not sorry. But the thing is I gave up a hell of alot of self fulfillment, all the joys and whatever that comes with that awesome responsibility, for my freedom therefrom. I DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE TO DO THIS. That is really the only problem I have with it.

Why the fuck do I have to be a Parent to people who are only a scant few years, or even months younger than I ? This is not fair ! ! ! ! . OK that was my tantrum.

I mean really, I may have really made a mistake here, because after what I have seen in the world I think I could breed a real leader. Without all my shortcomings, and with all my strengths, selected of course, and selected as well from his Mother. Home schooled up to maybe eigth grade. Taught about real things, exposed to some of my merry band, knowing how to SAIL a boat, fish and hunt, use firearms and tools, how to control temper. The kid could be set for life befoee he ever left the nest. But I either do it or I don't. I would above all need TIME. This is something no Man can create. We only get so much, and juggling all this I would still have to make a living for the family. I don't take these things lightly.

But I decided no, I am not doing that. Therefore I am denied what I have seen, which is pride and pleasure when you see your own do good, get ahead, all that. The love and whatever else. My life is devoid of those good aspects. So goddammit, I shouldn't have the bad aspects of it either.

If it gets too bad I'll have to start throwing people out. I can get anyone outta here in twenty minutes, but asshole doesn't believe it. I hope for his sake that he doesn't make me prove it, and it is all nice and legal.

You think I am full of shit ? You think tht because he has a piece of mail here with his name on it he can fuck me around for months ? WRONG !.

"Officer, he is calm now, but I am deathly afraid of him. We used to work out together decdes ago, I gave him a place to stay and I can tell it is about time for a fight. He has remained healthy while I have not and I can't sleep with him here. He is a master of several different forms of martial arts and has maybe ten times my strength and is twice my size".

Up comes a trip to jail for him and down to court for me to get a TRO. Heads I win and tails you lose. I am at least twice as smart as all these MFs put together. Nobody with a fucking brain goes against me in my house. You want to see ruthless, I'll show you ruthless if you want to stop by and fuck with me. But if you don't come here I can't see an issue. These are people I am supporting right now. And that means I have witnesses who will say what the fuck I tell them to say.

Now where do we stand ? You see, I don't play to fucking lose. Losing is not an option, that is how I was taught and that is how it will be. I don't care if I have to get the gun out, if I lose, my opponent will lose more, guaranteed, and I hope eveyone knows that.

In the early days taming the Racoon, he stung me for sixty bucks, for a carton of Newports. I found out, not through the CC statement, but from the store. He paid back the money and I flat out told him that this was not over. More recently he did something that impressed me as being indicative that he wants the straight life, well somewhat. That he was now worthy. And by no impellation of mine or anyone else's. Abiout a week ago I told him it was over. He could not remember at first to what I was referring, but he caught it pretty quick.

And this other dude with the attitude, I told him during our argument that hew says the same thing about everyone he knows and they say the same things about him. He has not responded to that and I doubt he can muster a decent response anyway.

The choices are I win or they lose. My name was not borne purely because of mt past physical feats, proofs of manual strength. It is my mind that makes me the Terminator.

I wanted to team up with Jim and do this. Each get 2- make a home of 4 and share all the baby sitting.

You dont really even have to be licensed tho they do check background.

Mainly they check for sex predators.   Some other blemishes are not a problem- depending on how it is handled.

Supposed you do a 12 hour shift-  3 of those hours might be "hard"-- the other 9 is just hanging.

In my experience- the residents were never a problem- but the other workers- well- they tended to be- controlling.

Status: offline 		A pony ? Do they eat grass ? The grass in the back is exceptionally thick and dense. I mean you need an eight HP 18" mower to mow the shit. But now the problem is about the garden. It just got rototilled the other day. We are going to grow some leaf lettuce, maybe garlic, onions, some peppers, pot and watermelon. Not a very elaborate setup but when prime would probably make a good midnight snack for a pony.

So hold the pony for now, I have enough animals to take care of.

LOL

Status: offline 		You've got a renter who is doing work instead of paying rent and that's causing difficulties. Have him pay rent instead and hire people to do the work at their usual rates. This will solve the problem. Of course he won't like it, but that's another story.

Or figure out what is a fair rent and then call around getting quotes on work. So if the quote is for $700 but a fair rent is $400, then he has a month's credit coming to him. Keep it all on paper so no one thinks the other person is getting the better deal.
