krissylou Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1331509451' post='2399223'] Don't listen to these people. You don't need a Priest, or crucifixes, or holy water, or any statues. What you need is the Pope and the college of cardinals to move in. [/quote] All of them? In one condo? That seems as if it would be a bit cramped.
CatherineM Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Thought you guys might like to see the picture I took of the dog having his say about the satanic rituals book. If you are offended by the sight of dog poo, don't hit the spoiler.

Tell me he doesn't usually poo in the house and he will be number two of my best/smartest/coolest dogs list. My gigi's number 1 Edited March 12, 2012 by HopefulBride
CatherineM Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 He is paper trained. When it is -40 degrees outside, I don't want his plumbing to freeze to the sidewalk. I'm just amazed at his aim. He's very long, so he must have really done some serious positioning to hit that small of a target.

For the aiming (technique) I will give him additional points so that makes him almost tied with gigi for number 1 (I'll put him at number 1.5) Edited March 12, 2012 by HopefulBride
rhetor4christ Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 You and the folks helping you with all of this are in my prayers. Good grief, I can't believe that any of this would happen! How did you come by this renter to begin with? My prayers are with him too, despite his satanic beliefs and practices. He needs help, and badly. I wonder if he's mentally okay (i.e., if he has a legitimate mental illness)? When I was 17, we had an exorcism done in our house. I get chills just remembering that weekend.
CatherineM Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 He wasn't a renter. We live in a small 12 unit, 3 story condo building. He has lived upstairs for over 20+ years. He inherited the place from an aunt. He lost his marriage, he became alienated from his kids, lost jobs repeatedly until he had burned his bridges with every construction company in town, and now has lost his home. We tried 3 years ago to get him on disability for his depression, but he refused our help. Said the $1600/month wasn't enough money. To live here, all he needed was about $400/month for his condo fees, taxes and utilities. That's cheap in this town. I almost got the feeling that he didn't want to accept help because then he couldn't say the whole world was against him.

[/quote] It's truly unfortunate, and I'm glad you offered him help despite his refusals. Hopefully he's able to get help somewhere, sometime soon. In the meantime, it sounds like the place is getting back to the right condition it should be in, full of love and God.

CatherineM Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 I had no idea he was doing all that stuff up there. We knew he was depressed and floundering and drinking himself to death. We hope we have found the last of the "surprises" upstairs. He had a bunch of school lockers in the second bedroom, and one had a lock on it. got it open today, and it contained the usual old bills and paperwork kind of stuff, but it also contained a tooth. A large decayed one that was wrapped in bubble wrap. I wonder if it had something to do with the voodoo doll. I buried it. Could have been worse. Since he had all those surgery books and home wild game processing books, I half expected a locker with serial killer trophies in it.
mme_hardy Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Man, that's hard work. I'm glad the clearing-out part is over.
AnneLine Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Continuing to pray, Catherine, Zack and Austin! I hope you can all have a wonderful celebration when this is all over!!! Such a big job.... and so worth it on so many levels.
CatherineM Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 He's almost finished with painting the ceiling. He freaked out when he saw that the paint was pink. I had to explain that it dries white and the pink is to help you keep from missing spots.
AnneLine Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 THAT is a wonderful, normal reaction!!!!! THAT is wonderful to hear, Catherine!
AnneLine Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I know this is the internet, and we need to preserve Zack's space & anonymity, but I wish we could see him in his Cadet uniform and I wish we could see the newly blessed, shining, and HOLY house when it is finished. Just dreaming....and so happy for him....
CatherineM Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 He said it was okay to show his picture. I don't have a picture since he got his stripes. This is Zack and the hubby, who is almost 6'5", so I definitely feel like a dwarf at only 5'10" [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7181/6980780703_2d8f5dd5b1_m.jpg[/img]

I am 5'4", too, and married into a very tall family. My husband (6'6") and his dad are the tallest.
