Little background.  Son #3's girlfriend does in-home support work.  She 
doesn't drive, so she was fired from one job.  She got a call today from the 
elderly gentleman (job she lost) who BEGGED her to get a license so she could 
work for him again.

So, we stopped by there today and she told him she'd work real hard to get a 
license next week or the week after at the latest.  Seems his current worker 
hasn't shown up for work 6 days over the last 3 weeks.  He has a spinal 
injury, has an electric wheelchair and is also on O2 due to the resulting 
surgery which made everything worse.  I'd say he's about 85.  And he has no 
family.

While we were there he was looking real sad and depressed and we asked him 
what was wrong.  He said nothing and then started telling us about a prior 
worker who came by (she'd been fired by the county because she took $11,000 
of his money) and said she was going to the Community Turkey Dinner 
yesterday.  He asked if she'd bring him a plate back.  Bobbi, who runs the 
dinner, does plates for folks all the time.  It isn't a big deal.  AND, you 
can look across a field and see his house from the community dining hall at 
the local fairgrounds.

NO DINNER!  Did I mention that he refused to prosecute her (the county is 
anyway) and he told the DA that he didn't want her to get any jail time, that 
he just wanted her to start making some payments to pay him back.

What is wrong with people?  This world is going to hell in a hand basket and 
I think it needs to stop so I can get off.  Either that or I'm moving to an 
island and becoming a hermit.

At anyrate, we had a family meeting and we're adopting him!

Lynda, who just needed to vent, so I'll get off my soapbox now.

Oh man, literally.  I'm glad you all found him and have adopted him.
I hear you loud and clear on people these days.  They are so selfish, so
immoral.  The only rule is "do it if you think you can get away with
it".  I'd like to find an island, too, just to be away from all of that.

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit.  It's like "Just Do It!"&  "Go for It!")
