    Hello,

    Friday afternoon. 4:11 p.m.

    Well ran out of time yesterday, but hope to finish this. This last early Sunday morning around 1:30, my wife and myselft went to where the newspapers are brought to this warehouse in Kentwood. We had to wait awhile before the truck arrive and wait to them to off load the papers on these vertical shape metal carts. After we got inside it started to rain. We went out there with raincoats, but this dummy forgot to put on his waterproof boots. We left there and about the time we got to where we start this delivery around 3:30 a.m. it was raining very hard. We waited awhile inside a Speedway convience store to let up. It didn't do that. We went out and did this in that downpour. This lasted about half an hour and then sizzle down to light rain. Anyway my shoes, socks, and hat was soaking wet. We got done around 6:00 a.m. See, doing this paperoute on a early Saturday and Sunday morning is like working a third shift job. After cleaning myself up back at our apartment I went back to sleep. I slept for only about 2 hours for around 4 1/2 total hours that night/morning. I couldn't sleep more than what I did because of my peripheral neuropathy going keeping me awake. I just then got up and struggled through the day with less sleep.

    I finished tackled that mess around the kitchen sink that Sunday. Near the end of this tackling, I had that left over rice that had some of this was burnt washed down the garbage disposal. This resulted in that CIRCUMSTANCE, ha! ha! I didn't have water running and that garbage disposal running before I dumped that rice in the sink. Net result was I plugged up the drain. The next day we got some "Drano type liquid" and flushed this down the drain. It took around 14 hours for the sink water to go down!! By the way, because I didn't get enough sleep the previous day I "crashed" finally around 11:00 p.m. and was an early bird and got up about 6:15 a.m. I never really did this for years unless I was going down to Ann Arbor V.A. Hospital. I worked on that mess called laundry. We tried to resolve that sink problem and called the apartment office but no one came out.

    Someone mentioned I should see a "shrink" doc. I'am not sure of the spelling. My appointment was for Wednesday, but I cancelled it because I stayed at my apartment in case Preston the apartment maintenance guy showed up. Meanwhile from Monday until Thursday until Preston came to our apartment, our apartment around the kitchen area had those fumes from that "Drano type liquid". It has Hydrocloric (or a word something like this) Acid in this liquid. It's harmful for your lungs to breathe those varpors.

    This whole fiasco wouldn't happened at all, if I had put that rice junk in the trash in the first place. Because of all this SAD SACK SAGA STORY this past week, that's why I didn't come here to this joint to visit.

    Hello again,

    Okay, I think people who read this topic can see that I've been burned out by my daughter's behavior, this laundry nonsense, and that clogged kitchen sink fiasco nonsense. Everyone in life has problems. It seems though lately, we have been getting alot of them. Oh and there was our car repossisted. That matter in itself is why I told my wife that she should file bankrupcy.

    If you think I should stay here, okay then. But at times I don't respond here it is because I just can't get to this place or another one. "That's just the way it is!!!!"

    Hi Gary

    I`m glad you didn`t decide to just drop out of sight. when people are feeling really low, it`s an impulse that`s hard to resist. But isolation rarely improves one`s situation. Having a support network of any kind can really help.                                                              ollie
