lol at me and lol at aj.. aj has such a warm heart... sometimes a warm heart can be "stupid"....... oh God, this can be scary if he is like me... life will bite him in the *** if he doesn't start thinking more about "himself" than others....

guy renter....well we were right... he got back into drugs... aj called his mother and she came here a few weeks ago.... looks like the guy renter is going into a detox program when they have an available bed....ok..... so his mother sends aj $100 for food for the renter... which would work out ok if he was more normal in size.. male renter is like 6ft 4 ins tall which means he has a tummy as bigg as aj's and mine combined..... which means he eats a lot of food...

so aj started *****en at me that the renter ate his whole box of cereal....i *****ed back a little... could have said a lot more, but i didn't.... poor aj is caught in the middle of his gentle heart and reality.....well he is a man for petes sake.. he should know better...... when the renter eats anything he eats 3 times more than what aj eats..... so that $100 isn't going to go very far...

funny thing is, i knew beforehand what would happen so when we went grocery shopping, i wrote the female's renters name on stuff i didn't want the male renter to eat.. lol...... guess i forgot aj's cereal.....

male renter took 2 weeks of work off to attend "meetings" which i think will help him get in the detox program... but it could be months before a bed is available....... and well .... what more can i say.........other than aj needs to call the renter's mother to get the rent money.... and not wait until the middle of the month...... ugh

like i said, if the renter was more normal in his eating habits all would be well...
like eat one bowl of cereal not a whole box in one sitting..........2 gallons of milk gone in 3 days......

don't need replies..... honest........... maybe this isn't the place to vent.. a mental health place because this isn't mental health issues.... looks like i need to find another place to visit when i'm frustrated and needing to yell out my thoughts............i just had to get this off my chest... cuz if aj start *****en at me about what his friend eats, i'm will scream....didn't know i was the "watcher" of the food..... ugh i understand aj's frustration.... but he can't blame me what his friend eats:

Its not like youre running a boarding house or nursing home or rehab house. If this guy needs that much help, his mother should supply it, she shouldnt just dump it on you guys. How nourishing or filling is cereal and milk?? For a big man like that? That is just sad.

i'm with you, he prob should have gone home to detox... i feel bad for the guy.. he said he will know by this sunday if he gets a bed for the detox program....if no bed he said he will do the other program available.....

he doesn't just eat cereal... and eating cereal isn't the issue... is just he eats the whole box and leaves not even a small serving... so when you grab the cereal box all you get is a 1/4 of a bowl of cereal... thing is he is hungry.........and i understand.... thing is aj should have understood the expense he took to feeding him....

oo i make breakfast, "eggs, sausage or bacon, pancakes or waffles or french toast and whatever else i can think of to make breakfast interesting...and the other night i made spaghetti and garlic bread... tonight will be chicken, potatoes and vegetables.....
SO he gets food...........

and it isn't his fault he is so big that he needs more food than most folks....he is one big guy... and he is nice... just a responsibility i don't think should be aj's......or rather i would not be ranting if aj wasn't venting at me and it is not my fault what the guy eats or does.. remember, i am the "old lady under the stairs" .. hello

i think the two renters and aj should have a weekly or monthly house meeting... to talk about issues and whatever is bothering them...... sure hope he gets a bed soon....
anyway, he told me that when he gets a bed, the program is for only 1 1/2 weeks. not sure that is long enough..... but then who am i to say what is long enough.....shrugs shoulders
