Ge-WALT! (violence)

There are some days.... you should NOT get out of bed, hey. In January, we went over to the social services office in the park. Three MONTHS later, they visited Peter this morning. Three FUCKING months. Knowing he'd been without electricity since De-fucking-cember. Priorities, much?

I have SEEN these 'ladies' when I took him there. They are the local version of the DAR and GOP.

And they rumpled their corrected noses over the chaos.

BUT they went nuts over the Easter tree, and who DID that? And where the hell did I LEARN to do that. (Well... I have only BEEN here thirty one YEARS... And I have a little bit of taste.) Gaaawwd! I didn't throw up, so I guess I'm on the way to scraping myself off the sidewalk...

So they were surprised that the electricity was back on, and he told them that Frau Kahr had done the work, and they got really snitty, like DAR and GOP BITCHES can be. 'Well, it's no WONDER it took so long.' They were Christian Dems. Sure, it took a while to get an appointment with her, but she solved the problem in two days.

They all but ASKED if he was with the Communist Party. (He was always firmly Socialist.)

They gave off some VERY bad vibes.

I cooked dinner with the little we have left there----I sold a lot of stuff while he was in assisted living, never thinking he would want to go back there.... Oh yes, he gave me the green light for that,and he got the money, but now am just devastated.

And the young lady who Frau Kahr assigned to him called, and is going to help him with finding a cleaning troupe to bring some order in the chaos.

Good Gawwd, hey.

This stuff leaves me speechless.

Make no mistake, I HATE ideologies. But sometimes it is better to go to the less empowered who have some sort of influence, than go to the high-nosed snobs who think they have ALLLL the answers, and corrupted by power.

Life is sort of an education.... Not always 'fun'.
