Calling Danny! Where Are You?

[JewelFreak]

The old "never rains but it pours" syndrome. I'm so sorry! Wish I were close enough to help, or at least make you a big batch of cookies!

Much love!

Hi Danny!

I'm so relieved you're posting again! I was really worried about you!

I am now worried about this landlord of yours. I really think you need to move out, this just sounds so potentially dangerous. I know it's hard to find, but there's a perfect place for you out there, and it's not too expensive. Maybe you and your SO could barter services for part of the rent, with an older lady landlord or something? Lawn care, or painting, shopping maybe?

I'm sorry to hear you're having so many troubles!

I know you'll be better off soon.

Write once a week or so, so we know you're okay!

Hugs!

So sorry to hear about the house and car problems, Danny!

I kind of think your landlord is lying, though, because if he is being foreclosed, why would he care if you were living there? The house belongs to the bank and they are the ones who'd have to tell you how long you can legally stay.

Hi everyone!

My computer's back from being fixed and I'm going to have more access!

SO's going to take the computer away from me when he gets home any minute but I'll post more very soon.

I want to say before I catch up with these posts thank you for checking up on me. It's very flattering to be missed.

iLander, yes I will check in. I think that's a good idea. I always thought it's kind of weird that internet protocol is post or don't because "real life" isn't like that. I think that's a fair think to ask.

Ok, I'll be back soon!

 

[Imdanny]

Update- I feel guilty for having to post and run.

I thought I was going to have more time now to post.

Unfortunately my computer broke again and I'm back to using my phone.

The main issue though is my move is consuming me.

My landlord physically threatened me today and I had to call the police.

Unless I change my mind I'm going to apply for a restraining order tomorrow.

I don't feel safe. This is the second time this has happened. I certainly don't feel like it might not happen again.

The first time it was a vague threat although definitely a threat. This was a threat to my person. I am so angry right now I can hardly see straight.

I'll have to take two buses to get the form. I might have to get the form and bring it back with the supporting documentation and fees. If I do this I'll have to appear in court after the restraining order is issued.

I'm still thinking I want to do it because I want to send a message to this creep to stay away from me before he does anything else. Even if he were never to hurt me this behavior is outrageous.

On a more positive note I'm wearing my ring every day and I'm loving it. It's perfect for me and I'm only becoming more enamored with it as time goes on.

Cartier has an 18" gold cable chain that's only $500. I'm hoping I can get that next.

I'm sorry for the quick post. I'll post again when things calm down here. I hope everyone is well.

 

[iLander]

Danny! I think I specifically said that you need to move and that your landlord is not safe to be around. I'm not kidding, young man.

It's time to go.

Skip the restraining order and just put that energy into moving. Do it now.

At this point, the question is; do you want to move before or after he makes it physical? Hmmm?

Remember, even if you choose not to decide, you have made a decision.

 

[Imdanny]

iLander, OMG! My mother said the same thing! SO doesn't want me to do it either. I was on my best behavior when the landlord and realtor had a showing yesterday.

Moving sucks.

 

[Enerchi]

Oh Danny - get out! I know moving sucks and its so stressful to start the hunt for a new place (cost, convenience, proximity to work/transportation, location, etc. ) and the packing/lifting/moving of it all, but this dude is a time bomb waiting to go off. Even if he sells or goes bankrupt or gets whacked by local drug dealers (ok - throwing that in for effect!! ) it seems that there is just too much 'not right' with this place, at this point.

I'm with your mom and iLander - go! Put your safety first!

(Think of your Cartier ring - it doesn't deserve to live in this environment - )

LOL! I have to go. I'm being evicted anyway. No, not for anything I did but because the landlord is being kicked out too and he wants to weasel his way into my apartment. I hope he ends up in a shelter. I hate his guts.

OMG! I dropped SO's iPhone in the toilet!

I had to to take 5 buses to get his number switched to my phone and I will haven't heard the end of it.

Now I only have Internet access for a few hours a day.

Sigh.

Danny -- what a time you are having. I'm thinking of you all day & sending Wonderful-New-Home vibes your way. Hope you find a good place quickly -- and as far away from your insane ex-landlord as the island will allow. Once you get there, your whole karma will start to shine again; no more broken computers or phones in the toilet! Honestly, one thing improves & everything else follows, I don't know why, but it's true.

Is SO moving with you? I love that you love your ring so much; makes a whole day cheery when you have something like that to look at all the time -- we all can dig that, I'm sure! And it is so pretty.

Big hugs for you & SO!

--- Laurie

So glad you are going -this place may have started out well, but its sure taken a nosedive in the past 6 months or so. Even tho it's stressful, turn that around and make it a positive experience - new place, new karma (as JF says!) and new start. I think that can be a healthy thing - and you get to thin out the things you've been holding onto and now have a reason to purge them. (I'm big on the whole purge dynamic!)

I hope you find something MUCH more convenient to your work place and in a very safe and lovely enclave/neighbourhood! DUST DUST DUST for you and a big {{{HUG}}} cuz of the whole "mom" kind of thing!!

DS, thank you! Yes, he is lying. The house won't go into forclosure unless there isn't a short sale. Nevertheless, my landlord maintains it is in forclosure and I have a letter from him stating it. What can I say? He's a liar!

 

[Imdanny]

I'm thinking of you all day...

Laurie, what a wonderful thing to say! I appreciate all of your kind words. ((((Hugs))))

SO and I get to move at the same time. There's been many times when he had to move first for work and I had to pack up our things, pets,
take care of business, and ship a car. I'm grateful he'll be with me now even if I'll still have to do all the packing and moving.

He won't be able to help move. I don't like telling all these tales of woe. I must sound pathetic but SO had some bad news.

His leg was broken years ago and has two titanium plates and six large screws in it. We found out last week he has degenerative arthritis in the knee. Half of the cartilage is damaged and half is missing. It's bone on bone any time he stands or walks. He has an appointment with a specialist.

My direct care role regarding his broken leg has just intensified and what the future holds in terms of him being able to use his leg and whether surgery will be required, etc. is still to be determined. My heart is breaking for him. That's by far the worst part. I just want to take care of him and I can't drive him to the bus stop, etc. He's in a lot of pain and I believe he's still processing it. I know I am.

Ok, no more sad tales. That's all. I appreciate you all kind of forming a posse and tracking me down. That was such a thoughtful and nice thing to do. These days it seems I can't give posting here the time I would like but I'll do my best to be here as often as I can. PS is such an interesting, fun, welcoming site.

Enerchi, when in doubt, throw it out!

[JewelFreak]

So sorry to hear about SO's knee, etc., Danny. Tough one, no doubt. From what I've read, if it's a tiny consolation, knee replacement surgery has improved immensely in the past several years. No fun still, but results are good & it might get him on his feet comfortably again, if that's what the dr. orders. Feel so bad about your having to handle this move by yourself (as I'm sure SO does too). That's a load by itself. At least you'll be looking forward to a serene place with no crazy people humping all the time! And no threats to life & limb. Dust on the beautiful Pacific breezes to you.

Oh Danny, when it rains it pours.
My friend told me last night Mercury was coming back into phase today. (She was blaming our computer problems on it being "out.")
I'll be hoping for a dream apartment for you and SO.

 

[iLander]

Hey Danny!

So, did you move out yet?

What's the story, young man?

 

[iLander]

Dannnnnnnnny!

Where'd you go?

What, you can't check in once in a while?

We're so worried, we're going to plotz!
