Too funny. Today I get the mail and what is in there but a tax bill for Don from 1995. Does the statute of limitations run out in 20 years? It does. So why do they send these things to us? Like we are going to be hit with a conscious about a bill that was less than $400 ballooning to $2400? Yeah, ok. Get in line, California, but why waste your time on stuff that will never happen. He was in his twenties and now he is almost 50..nuh uh. So--the homelessness thing is this. It's where we are at and I am okay with that. I am realizing when she and I talked a few months ago about paying $800 and I told her January. This is because omigod do you see where we live? Um, nope, you don't. She said she would be willing to put half back in and I said okay--but January instead of October and I started paying $750 then instead. So maybe I did do this to us.

Due to some issues with the shower and kitchen cabinetry and general flooring, we have a lot of stuff that has been left undone or is considered generally unsafe for human habitation. You could not rent this apartment out normally for $700--$400 maybe. Now they want $1050 and I wonder if it as Don says--your aunt and sister got in her ear. If that was the case, MAJOR disappointment. However...I see with the declaration of my sister, she and we just want to move forward, explaining away my mother's behavior of kicking us out and repeatedly explaining she didn't really want us to be homeless. And I realize a HUGE difference between us--if I have the ability to help, I just do. I had so many people live with me for free over the years, and in this place--I had someone upstairs paying way ...
