not re the tire, but he doesn't know I was in hosp for 10 days. I texted him asking him to pH my water bottles which should have piqued his curiosity for crying out loud. I wanted them OK so my petcare helper could water the plants. Then I was so sick, labs crazy off everywhere, weird pneumonia, not right in the head, I was texting him. I read back, he should've known something was wrong by my texts. Then my phone went black screen of death because some hospital worker plugged my phone to charge after I played spotify for 2 days to use up the power to recharge it with a high quality portable charger that I won. I had to drain the power, again. Four days. I got it working when I got home but it's not going to last. I wanted him to change my SIM card to my previous Samsung Galaxy until I got better. Luckily 911 goes through without data or nobody would've known I was sick, I couldn't stand up, couldn't even get to my front door bc of baby gates. Fell 3 times trying to stand up, I still have laminate 'rash' on my knees, legs and arm. I spent 2 hours scooching around and dragging ass in my kitchen to get to a black wire I saw on the counter, from the floor, it was a phone! I quit texting him, prolly had a scan or something, he quit texting too. My brother/his father dropped dead from a widow maker at a pool party, age 50, no will, on third wifey of 10 months. Nephew got 2/3 of half the estate, a free house and cash, my grandmother's house, that half of my dad's WWII pay went toward. When my mom died I bought nephew a used Taurus, they never take care of vehicles. So his mom, brother and the nephew have no house payment because of my family's 'wealth'. But he can only come out to help me when he can use his mom's car. She doesn't work, they live across from the PD and a block from downtown, I'm 1.5 miles from downtown. Right now, and he doesn't know it, he's not in my will. My house goes to the friend who is my pets' second mom, I think the cat likes her more than he does me. They wouldn't get split up and will stay in the only home the pugs have known. Whenever nephew needed help I was there for him. A 2 a.m. call from County needing a ride home, my car was on E and there was extremely dense fog, I went and got him. Plus other things. I won't throw in anyone's face favors I've done, without hesitation. But if they don't remember or can't reciprocate in dire times they're off my list, getting too old and sick for the BS. Friend since the nursery, partners in crime in HS, is on blood thinners, the pugs missed a nail appt. But she has helped me with rides, stuff I needed in hosp, and brought hubby over to sit out back with the pugs so she could go inside my house w/o bleeding legs to get what I needed or to let them out for the last time each night. How you learn your true friends, most of y'all on here or Twitter friends would've helped me if anyone lived near NC Illinois. I made a Facebook post asking if any local friends were going to Ottawa that day, many people do for work or the dispensary, nada. Both pugs were out of Rx food, two different foods. I had to do Chewy and improvise until the order arrived. If not for my rare disease info/support groups I'd have ditched FB years ago. Nephew's mom is anti-vaxxer and sharer of disinfo on FB, she's got him so cynical sometimes I can't even converse with him. I was friends with her before she ever dated my brother. Good friends with most of her 9 siblings. Was there when her mom was on her last day, dying from cancer. I don't remember any of them visiting my dad when he was in hosp for 3 months dying from a glioblastoma. I fed him supper every night after work, I worked 45 hours/week then spent weekends at the hospital, to help my mom. I don't understand some people and I'm no dummy. Nephew told me, twice, that I'm not as smart as I think I am. He quit HS freshman year. I graduated 10th in class, a semester early, my ACT scores qualified me for MENSA membership. I try to maintain a relationship with him, it ain't easy. Sorry for the novella. I have stuff I need to get off my chest, there's a neoplasm or pneumonia taking up space, lol.
