Well I think you have the right answer in adopting the gentlemen,
unfortunately the world is full
of mooching thieves who will take advantage of the least able to look out
for themselves.

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.
