Has anyone heard from Wis lately?

Nope

I asked WIS here to write anything. Anything at all. Yesterday, or the day before that, not quite sure now.

Night Star asked for WIS even earlier than i did.

And you asked now.

This is totally not alright and i will not get peace before i hear something about WIS.

Blue your yelling FIRE only brought one person in. We need another plan.

Fin, great song!

Wis, where are you????????

a reply to: Night Star
So as one person yelling "fire" brings in only one how many will be here if two or three yell "fire"?

I've some news about Sharon to share but I must think on this as I fall asleep and will have more details to share once she calls again tomorrow.

I look forward to hearing about Sharon tomorrow.

Okay, that's it. I gotta get some sleep to be ready for coffee with my Shed family tomorrow.

***Good Morning My Loves!***
The shed halls are rather silent and lonely. Not many coming and going to the various castle rooms. Coffee pot is filled. Donuts are made. I even left a pot of coffee outside for the lurkers and a tray of donuts. We have bacon and eggs and stuff inside though. Hint, hint.

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

Haha, we both had coffee in mind. See you then Hun.

After breakfast, we ride! Grab your dragons, we are having a search party for our missing Shed family.
I have alerted Storm and he will be ready when I am.

Man your dragons! We are on a search mission for missing Sheddites. Or ready your horses and put on your armor, we may need to battle some unseen forces. Gather the forces, the warriors!

My contract with the Shed allows me to take personal days off so no flying for me today. After tossing in bed until 430 am I was forced to get up and not go back to bed to finally sleep until 1000 am.

As I said I would and I see everyone is waiting to post until afterwards I shall share what I found out about Sharon.

Keep in mind outside of the Shed and the internet she is my only real world friend. I talked to her for about one hour yesterday as its been a few months since we have talked. She was to call back today to continue to answer my questions but never did.

Several months ago the discussion of both of us moving to Tulsa came up. I lived in that area for about 20 years before losing my wife. Sharon is the only one to come to my rescue to help with the move back to my parents in Texas. Now that I expect news from Social Security in 1-2 months I have been wanting to talk more to her about moving.

I haven't seen her in about one year or so after she moved about 200 miles away working as a certificated nurse's aid. Calling or texting while she is working is frowned upon. Lately she has been working as a live in nurse aid. As the other aid is on vacation this means that her only time off is 6 hours on Mondays.

There is a man in her life from years ago. She tells everyone that he is her boyfriend simply to explain why he is around. I know that he was her boyfriend in the past few years but I'm guessing she is in part just keeping him around as her mechanic and whatever as she is living in the apartment that his daughter used to live in. He is currently in outpatient rehab for his use of crack and has had some other law breaking habits in the past.

So the updated news is this, Sharon doesn't want to move to Tulsa when her lease is up in November. The threat of tornadoes is scaring her away in part. She does have a friend in Tulsa and Sharon's daughter lives in the area. However Sharon is afraid her daughter's husband will be transferred to who know where. Her current plan is to move north of Dallas as an aunt lives there and her son lives nearby. This will put her about 235 miles away from her daughter.

So I am a bit left out of her plans as I was going to discuss this more today during the phone call I didn't get. What is puzzling to me is that Sharon doesn't think my possible move to Tulsa is a good idea as I would be doing this alone and have issues causing me to fall with the need for help standing up. Is she thinking I will move to the Dallas area for her to take care of me?

My take on all this? Sharon can't be counted on for long term plans. As flighty as she has been over the years I don't see her living in one city for more than a couple of years. An issue I've seen with her stories is that most of the men that have been in her life were/are there for her own needs, money etc. However she hasn't been that way to me. She has gone out of her way to help when she can. However I'm the one who never has any money so far for her to take advantage of.

Therefore my plan for now is to wait on the news from Social Security and carefully plan moving on my own to Tulsa. As I think I have mentioned in the past there are plenty of reasons I'd rather be there then here. Especially the lower cost of living which will make my Social Security dollar go farther.

You'd probably be better off getting housing for the disabled and senior citizens. They would go by your income in how much to charge you. I wouldn't try to find a room mate because they are strangers and you can't trust many people these days, but that's just my opinion.

WIS! Right now!

I am truly not in the position to make demands, but if i would be, then i would demand you to report something right now. If not to me, then someone else here you know, with your permission for them, to tell me that WIS has said something.

This day has been bad enough. About to break stuff. But please, everyone, do not worry about it, i have broke stuff before and i will do it again. Never against living objects. Only dinner plates and stuff, if that is anything for an excuse

Ever tried setting up a punching bag? In a dark time of mine I would use a tied up bag of sawdust in my parents' barn or a cutting board that made my fists rather flat and hard (but may have caused circulation problems unfortunately.) A pillow would have been more ideal in hindsight. It's good to let such feelings out, just with minimal harm to yourself or your possessions.

I miss Wis too and am worried for her. Hope she turns up sometime.

Art is a great way for me to express my feelings. I bury myself in my work when I need to.

a reply to: Finspiracy

Fin, Lone has good advice. As for Wis, I'm trying to get a hold of her.

For whoever is left posting or lurking...
Keep the magic alive. We are all living through tough times, but there is still hope and a world of love here.
I miss so many people and wish them well. I also worry a lot about them, about all of you when you aren't here.

Since it's so hot and humid, we shall swim in the ocean and talk and laugh by the seaside, collect seashells and feathers and feel the gentle breeze and the soft sand beneath our feet. Watch and listen to gulls as they cry and don't let them steal your chips. Yeah, they are thieves sometimes. LOL

I love watching the waves as they roll in, the ships as they sail by. We shall have a feast of seafood later.

As searching for such can be tiring I've found what I could find. Per the Tulsa Housing Authority there are a total of 3 buildings for senors/disabled. Like with most Section 8 rentals my rent would be 30%, 50%, or 80% of the going rate based on my income. I'm sure I will be a 30%er. The three options include one in an area I don't feel safe living in and one that is classified more as a nursing home than apartments. There are other possibilities around town but having a roomie that I knew and trusted would be something to think about. Finding such person won't automatically happen but perhaps in time they will appear.
