The Continued Saga......

He's got a place to stay for now

Update: He said that the hospital was going to try to find him a shelter. Ok, that's fine. Now he wants me to sell EVERYTHING. How? I can't advertise in the papers...I don't have the money. Besides, why would I want to sell the computers? I don't know what his problem is...but I'm not sure if I want to return to him...or I just might take my darn lil ol' sweet time in getting there.. Because I do love him...yes...I'm stupid...in love and can't help it, before I we hung up the last time, I told him I loved him. His response; "Yeah, ok." What? No, 'I love you, too," back in return? What's up with that? Ok, fine, he can be that way, but I guarantee that no woman will put up with him. He thinks so...but I doubt it. So many people dislike him, that once he were to meet a woman, they'd run the other way maybe after a week.... maybe a month if they can handle his stubborn attitude.


I'm one of those women who, because I love someone, will look over little flaws. Ok, so he demanded me to get this and that. Yes.... I put up with it because I love him. But, I don't have to put up with being treated like I'm nothing. He's homeless...with nothing, no money, no job, nothing but a few clothes. He's going to lose the most important thing in his life..the one who has truly loved him....ME. Are there any men readers out there, who might be reading this? Please, I need your input. Would you expect the woman you love to live homeless just because you've screwed up your life and are homeless yourself? Just image yourself as Tommy, down in the sweltering heat of the desert. Ok.. yes, I feel bad (still) that he didn't get that job. But, he bragged too much. Again, as a Christian, that's something that God abhors. A braggart (look in Proverbs, and it'll tell you that). He went around bragging, 'I'm going to be getting this $15 an hour job, and we’ll be able to do this and that, buy this and that.” You can’t count your chickens before they hatch…. isn’t that the saying? And, that’s what he was doing…he was counting on all this money to be there, and it’s not. He was already buying things….’We’ll get a 32” TV, a DVD player, surround sound, you’ll get a laptop, and I’ll buy a desktop….’ You name it he was already buying it. That’s something you should never do. And, if Tommy wants to live by the Bible, it tells you not to worry about tomorrow, live for today (Matthew 6:25-34) See, if you worry about tomorrow, next week, even next month, you bring evil upon yourself. And, unfortunately Tommy did. I prayed that God [B} would give him that job. Bragging falls under pride in the Bible. Look at what Proverbs says, (Proverbs 16:6) ‘ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; though hand in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Sadly to say, this is Tommy’s punishment for doing as he’d done.


He’s brought me down too many times, and I am thankful, though, as I’ve said I still feel terrible, that I stayed here. I do have a neck condition that gives me migraines (the Dr. put me on meds to alleviate them, and thankfully, they help a great deal while I’m on them. I still wake up with them, especially when it’s going to rain, as it is today. And this morning I had one, but when I took the med, it went away…they had gotten so bad that three times I ended up going to the ER because nothing that I had was alleviating the pain). So, therefore, living uncomfortably won’t help it. See four of my vertebrae are messed up C-4 to C-7 (cervical spine)– with degenerative arthritis. So, really I don’t need to be uncomfortable. Like I said, he mentioned that we could stay at the hospital. But sleeping in a chair, for me, is not good for my neck.


I found out, while writing this, that the hospital did find him a place to go. CASS Rest something or other. I can’t remember what the rest of it was. It’s a place where homeless ppl with medical problems can take the time to recoup. So, he’s got a place to go tonight. Tomorrow, he gets evaluated to see if he can stay there at least another two days. It’ll be good for him to be put up somewhere with no comforts of home. Maybe it’ll push him, finally in the right direction to get a job, get a place. Because I don’t know if I’m going to be able to get down there anytime too soon…besides, where would I go????? God has provided him something…He hasn’t left him totally stranded. That’s God’s grace. I’ve been worried about Tommy…and prayed for him despite how he treats me. If only Tommy would just stop cursing God, maybe blessings would come.


We’ll see…I’m going to take my time getting there that’s for sure. I’m seeing if he’s willing to get off his butt and get a job. It’s time he bring home some of the bacon, too. This little chicky won’t be repeating the same thing that went on for nearly a year. Besides, as I mentioned, Ron said I could stay here as long as I need to. Now that he’s paying the bills around here, and Tommy’s not supporting me at all, he does have the say. I’m not paying anything…I just have food stamps (boy am I glad I didn’t give Tommy the card…I might not get down there by the time the next amount is put on there…. I would then have to call and say my card was stolen to stop him from spending my stamps. He can go to ACCHS and get on them himself…or if he’s living in a shelter, they provide food). To be continued……….

Adalia.. I find it hard to believe that you are still considering moving out there. And to what? A man who lies and makes others pay for his upkeep? How old are the two of you? I mean, are we talking about a young man that just hasnt made it yet? Or is he a mature man that has never made it and never will? He wants you to sell everything and go be with him. Ok, let's analyze that..You have shelter, food and friends where you are now. You can get a job ( is the unemployment rate high there? are you eligible for unemployment?). You can get your own place( have you ever had a place of your own?). OK, so you sell everything, now you have nothing, then you toddle off to shitforbrains who also has, say it with me...nothing...not only does he have nothing, you will have to live A) in a cardboard box in Central Park B) in a homeless shelter with the dregs of society C) on a street corner. Can you honestly want to do that, no matter how you feel about him?Has this man ever done anything in the past to make you believe that he has an inkling what adults are suppose to do to take care of themselves? From everything I have seen you write, you paint a picture of a welfare bum that is always looking for the easy handout and has no personal respect for either of you.Everyone has fallen on bad times at one time or another but they pick themselves up and keep going. You need to start focusing on Adalia. Make a life for yourself and stop feeding in to this loser's crap. My Gran used to say, "Everyone shits, but that doesnt mean you have to fall back into it and waller around"

Hi again Adalia, I took some extra time to read more of your articles this morning and now have some concerns. In one of them you mentioned that you and whatshisface were going to start a Ministry. In another one you mentioned that this whatshisface tossed a cat against the wall. In another, several actually, you tell all of us that he lies and cheats the taxpayers because the lazy S.O.B wont get a job. I dont know many Ministers that live like that. Do you? And now I am asking myself, "why doesnt SHE have a job"? Is there really not one single job where you are? I mean really? Wouldnt even a job at a burger joint be better than nothing? You said in another article that Ron gave you the creeps and in another, you say that Ron is giving you a place to live and you are wiling to stay there? Maybe its time for Adalia to stop spending so much time fretting over the unchangeable fact that her "fiance" is a neanderthal ( but even they hunted for themselves)and get off her own ass and start taking care of her self?
