Yesterday;was not a good day for me!Starting;with a phone call;
from my daughter;at 9:00AM;To inform me that her fiances;oldest
son;had been killed;in a car accident.I was already overtired;from getting a call;at 2:15AM;the morning before;saying that;my 89yr
old mother;had fallen;in the rest home and was taken;to the
emergency room.I went there.I am the only one here.My wife is;
on vacation;in Salt Lake;Las Vegas;and Yellowstone.Yesterday;
I went to a meeting;at the rest home.As of Oct !st;my mothers
rent is being increased;by approx.$1300/1400 a mo.It seems that;the residents;miserably;failed;the last fire drill.Because of
improvments;mandated;by the state;the owner;is FORCED to
increase;the residents rent.When;I had;my motorcycle business;
the state mandated;that I had to install;a customers bathroom.
I didn't;pass;my cost;on to the customers;because that was my
problem;not theirs!If;I said anything that people;took wrong;I'm
sorry!Yesterday was more than I'm used to handleing! Irish
P.S.My mother;already pays $1000s a mo;I don't think that it is
right for the owner;to pass;his increases on!Every business;has it's;unexpected;costs.

Irish dear,
I certainly understand having a bad day...and I apologize if I was short with you.

But you know as well as I do that quite often your jokes are misunderstood. I'm probably one of the more guilty of taking your comments the wrong way. I really would help prevent such misunderstandings if you could try to be a bit more "obvious" by adding a smiley or a "LOL". After all without being able to hear the inflection in your voice or see the expression on your face it's hard to know if you're kidding or not. :heart: I'm only trying to help, hon.

I don't know about the States rules and regulations but in Canada event the privately owned senior residences have to answer to the goverment to justify such a large increase.....isn't there a "watchdog" agency or organization that you could contact to see if such a huge increase is allowed.

I would investigate this.......sounds like a money grab to me. If nothing else write to the editorial page of the newspaper with your thoughts and get the old pot stirred.....

Bad publicity can work wonders sometimes!!!

Now that’s a scary thought.


But I like the way BIBI thinks. This may be a very good thing to look into Irish.

wow i feel like i'm joining this thread way late... but i just wanted to stick my head in and say hi.

(man i feel like some kid at a junior high party asking an eighth-grader to dance. nervous. nervous. nervous. nervous...)

well if anyone's interested, i'm 21 years old, 5'10 145lbs green eyes blonde hair. i have no kids, am a student at UCSD who spends her free time taking pics, playing Tapestries MUCK, and pretty much just waiting around for her US Marine to get back from his deployment so we can take some pics to show y'all.

yep...that's me.....

Loara , Welcome to Pixies! Can't wait till you start posting your pic!
