The Shed 18

I don't really plan on going to sleep tonight now. Got word yesterday afternoon/evening of an ethanol train heading my way with some Canadian bacon leading the way. Soooooo.... I am pulling an all nighter to wait on it.

Thank you for your kind words Fin , you really do make me feel more appreciated , which is a wonderful feeling 😁.
Thank you to Meathead as well for acknowledging your post, in such a positive way.

I must have missed them both earlier, so my apologies for not thanking you sooner.

A serious drought is currently affecting this country, which is in addition struck by famine and political conflicts.

Yes I did say Canadian bacon!

I've been up all night listening to both of the radio feeds for my railroad line on and I haven't heard it.

So, after being told that I threatened my neighbour I went and asked the other people that were present at the time. They said no. I've never threatened anyone in my life. But it helped me think. It was also fun to speak to someone last night, they are nice guys.

I'm going to ask the rental company for a new building and if that doesn't work I'm going to dump all my stuff, give them their room back and make myself homeless because living here is nothing less than a nightmare. The guy has speakers that bars and other places use outside to project sound. I saw them yesterday for the first time, they are mounted on steel tripods 4 feet high. He also has a mix panel (prolly the wrong word, mengpaneel is the Dutch word). I have no idea how many watts but way more than I can generate. I have a few friends in another town I can (hopefully) ask to store (bass, stereo, clothes are the most important) some things until I get back into things but it will cost years. I know of a Salvation Army place.

This is not a life. I think the rental company might look at me like a weirdo but I don't care. I can't take it anymore and if I do my health and sanity is going to rapidly deteriorate, more so than it does already. I'll take my chances on the street. I'll at least have some peace and quiet.

By the way, you guys are Awesome! Hate being a Debbie Downer!

You’re not being a Debbie downer Light. You are just sharing what is very real to you now... and words can’t express how badly I feel for you and your situation. Please hang in there and be patient... and tell the rental company what size speakers you saw.

I’d hate to see you homeless Light.. and I think this whole situation may turn in your favor yet. ( you haven’t done anything wrong)

Shey I love Your Story entries that I have seen so far!! Nice work!!
( Not leaving anything or anyone out on purpose, That's just is how it is in My world. You know, Spacin' out stuff!! LOL!!)

Ok I'm off on a little Flight. I'll be around a short time as Real Life has Me consumed again, with People Who's health requires My and CC's attentions.
I will use U2U for anyone curious...
Other than that, It's GREAT to be back!!
(Oh, for a while My attendance here will be sporadic.)

a reply to: LightSpeedDriver

I'm wanting to let You know I feel for You and hope You can work thing's out to Your advantage!
(I am in The U.S.A. but am thinking, are there areas like Mine, Mobile Home park's,
where You live that may have livable quarters You could use? Even temporarily?)
Truthfully I don't like being where I am , with CC, right now, but it IS a place to rest our heads....
It Is What It Is!

All was quiet in The Land of The Shed so Syx decided to amble down to the Dragons Keep of Accasia, seeking Storm, NightStar's Dragon. Storm had been put in charge of the Dragons Keep and all that lived there, in Syx's absence.

He usually liked His position of Leader of The Dragons. But sometimes He felt the dragons did not respect His authority over them. "Syx You have returned! I Thank The Dragon Godz for that!!" Storm voiced with a wide smile!

"Hello Storm! Why the desperation I feel from You?!" Syx wondered while looking around the Keep. "I see many old Friends in here!" Syx finished with a Dragon's Toothy Grin.

"Yes They are all accounted for, and for the most part they have been well mannered. But some at times, were more than I could handle, it seemed. I am very glad to see You have returned! Will You regain Your position here, in The Keep, and in Accasia?" Storm replied while Syx walked near Him.

Syx reached out to Storm and wrapped His large wings around Him for a Brotherly Love Hug. Storm reciprocated with a smile and hugged Syx back. It was a heart warming scene to see. "Yes I will gladly reclaim My Title as Guardian of The Shed!"...

Real Life awaits. I shall return.
(Syx is seen flying away....)

a reply to: SyxPak

It’s nice to see the Shed from a dragon’s perspective. Welcome back guardian of the Shedlands!

a reply to: LightSpeedDriver

Light, being homeless is a hard life and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Please keep trying to move to another place before resorting to being homeless. No matter where you go or what you do, there will be special challenges to face. It is amazing how strong we are forced to be in certain situations in life. Just know that you will always have your Shed family who love and care about you. Your well being matters. Your thoughts and feelings matter.


For you and my beautiful Shed family...

a reply to: SyxPak

Syx, you have a PM. Good to see you again! I am so sorry you are dealing with the health of loved ones.

I keep telling Mark to always check for messages on the phone because the messages are usually for him. It was 4 days since I last checked for messages myself and saw messages from Doctors for Mark. I usually check them more often. It seems his liver function test was abnormal and he has to have re-testing and has to come off one of his meds. He also needs another very important test to see how much blockage he has. He has had tests since he got out of the hospital back in November with another mini stroke and more tests for things coming up etc. Yeah, that's my Debbie downer post for the day.

a reply to: Night Star

Sorry to hear about Mark’s health concerns Night. Hopefully the tests don’t show anything too serious that can’t be handled with proper medication.

You are both in my prayers.

Hooray!

Omg I sure hope it's nothing serious.

It probably isn't.

a reply to: Night Star

Sorry to hear Night. Good health is the one thing we all need. As we get older, even more so. As far as I've noticed my only problem are knees that crack when I stand up which is very doable. Just don't ask me to run too much. I never could remember the difference between a liver and a kidney but I think they are both involved with the cleaning of the body or the disposing of bodily wastes. Not exactly something a person can do without. I wish you both good health and a speedy resolve to the medical issues.

Customer Testimonial:  Dealing with Noisy Neighbors

With Liquid ASS, I can live my life again! Let me explain: I have noisy neighbors — neighbors who don't listen to me or the police when we ask for peace and quiet. I work in a hospital and have to operate at 6AM some days, so I need my rest — wouldn't you want your surgeon to get some sleep? Anyway, these idiots play Rock Band all night on weeknights, and I just couldn't take it. One morning, I had an epiphany — in the form of Liquid ASS.

First off, Liquid ASS arrives FAST! (I think the geniuses behind this product know that when you order Liquid ASS, you need it FAST!)  I would describe it as smelling like a goat with a colostomy bag that was beaten to death, then eaten by a bear, who subsequently got toxic megacolon and exploded in my face. I got it on a Saturday and waited . . . I didn't have to wait long. Sunday night, 3AM, I was awoken with the foul strains of poorly–played Rock Band. So, I crept to their window, and released such foulness — it was as if the gates of Hell opened and Lucifer himself loosed his bowels upon them. It wasn't more than 2 squirts (I did 6 total) into the fan blowing into their apartment, when I heard the ungodly, "What the F**K is that??!??!"  I ran off, only to hear them close behind — not chasing me, mind you, but escaping the foul wind they had summoned. I heard one of them ask the other, "What the F**K! Did a horse # and die out here??!"

Needless to say, I slept well that night. Luckily, I bought the 4–pack, so I have plenty in reserve should I need it again. Some people never learn . . . I have more Liquid ASS, then they have noise in the middle of the night!

Thanks liquid ASS — I am no longer simply waiting to die — the future seems brighter somehow.
