Thanks for the encouragement
                          
I just don't know how I keep ending up with idiot landlords.
I told Steve that it's a no win situation. He is so posessive about his dog. I am continually rescuing the poor thing from chewing herself out of the backyard and running around to digging a hole and getting fenced in next door. So I put her bed outside which I had to remake because she tore it apart, she calms down or maybe feels safe and is super good after that. So Steve keeps insisting for me to leave the dog a lone I cannot even talk to her. She is my only outside connection as I never leave the house unless have to get groceries. I spend less than 5 min. to say hello, tell her she's a good girl and to reassure her it's okay. He had her locked up in the pen in winter so now she's locked outside . She's chewed off the side panel off the sides of the house by my door. There's nails sticking out of the boards etc. afraid some one might step on them (and it would be me). He leaves at 5 am and puts her outside and by 7am she's yelping (fretting) again and every morning mon-friday wakes me up. So then he now has her on a chain leash that would haul a one ton truck it's so thick but none the less in tight corners she wraps herself around the porch poles and yelps for help until some one listens i rescued her twice in the a.m and the neighbor was even concerned.
That day Steve leaves a note so leave the dog on the leash and leave her alone. So he comes home and says I want you to leave my damn dog a lone. I said well let me tell you this. I told him about her chewing on the house by my door and window, wakes me up then  I go into her fretting and wakes me up. It looks real good by the way when people come over and he just lets her. Anyways - he turns around and says if I don't like I can move out fact after I kept up he said your out at the end of the month I said yeah try it. It's illegal and a process to boot any one on NO grounds. I am suppose to respect his ** dog and him, take it and pay the rent and TOO respect them. LOL o boy that was the wrong thing to say. I said I pay the rent and he had better respect me and went over everything here. The neighbor must of over heard and I went back down stairs and over heard her say to Steve that his dog was tangled around the pole and yelping. He said, that I should leave her like that as he told me. He's ssssssssssoooo stupid. Yeah I am gonna watch a dog hang herself or choke herself.
LOl I had to laugh because he said to me I was getting in his face, he picked the wrong hair off my back and I  turned around and said he was in my ** face and was so angry he backed away. I wasn't going to let go until her understood . (No one puts me in a corner again). My indian totem is a badger so my nature can suddenly turn -fight to the end -when backed in a corner.
Making it short as much as possible----he wants me to come back upstairs and talk about it. I haven't yet. I am so angry with him but today I will since I am home.
I have another entry (sigh)..........

I babysit a 5 yr. old boy named Kurtis once a week for a few hours. I have known him since Jan.08. His parents are both dysfunctional mother comes from a cracked infected mom and dad all her life and dad having his own issues. Kristin has had a bad life with her folks and what they will do for money is enough to make you sick but won't go there.
Kurtis is a very intelligent 5 yr.old. Just like his dad. He is more of an adult than most I know. It's partly because he has had a hard life of his own. Since knowing them I've had to bite my lip because they get him drunk to relax. Liquor and beer. If it was a small amount and not on a regular basis I might of let it go but... it's on a couple of times a month. I am afraid he will grow up with an alcohol addiction.
 Then these last few times he's been acting strange like and maybe it's about being a boy NOT sure is he plays with his wee and says LOOK Lolo and in a teasingly way. Then he goes through motions only from someone who has seen a porno movie, watching his parents or performed on him. Then last night he did it again and I just make a funny joke to pass it off then he broke down crying that he wanted to see his mommy. O i forgot I heard her slap him real hard in Jan. and left a bruise there the next day it showed up. He did go very thin in the last few mos. and was withdrawn before all this new stuff happened. He was lying on the couch and covered and didn't want to be touched in a strange way of acting.
Ladies what do you think?
thanks, Lolo

I sometimes wonder if it's just me?. I have issues of abuse so how is it that where ever I go I think I see it? 
I justify myself with Steve because I have put up with it for 4 mos.and have always let it go until now.
Guess not everything is let go yet.

I am just venting . Just don't understand how am I suppose to get property housing if it's too hard to get around alone. I am out of some meds and had a panic eposide in Super store. Too much heat on my head  without a hat, seemed to trigger it.
  Right now there are no answers with Kurtis. Everything comes out in the "wash" and I believe it will.

I didnt have much to think about with this dear god do you go through enough.
For one you dont have to touch his Mutt call the humane society he wants to be such an ass on things and this little boy it doesnt make you a bad person to report this in its worng even if its once a month to feed a child booze its sick. Also with the action this boy is doing something isnt right and it might not be t he parents you can make an annoymous call about your concerns if you are afraid of the repercussion it may cause you. Its better to know than to let it go and maybe have them start to blame you .. Some parents get affended and lash out knowing that they are wrong dig deep into your heart your a very smart women you will know what to do..
All my thoughts and prayers to you hun..

Oh Lord, my two biggest things, you don't mess with animals or kids around me! Period!  As for that poor dog, I'd be doing the same thing you are...I think I'd take Joannes advice; call the humane society, they should keep your identity quiet. As for Kurtis, I urge you to call child protective services, damn right somethings not right there! Let them sort it out & maybe get that baby out of a bad situation.
Sweetie, I admire your grit concerning your landlord, stick to your guns, but be careful, he sounds like a total creep!
Love ya, Connie

I want to know how in all that is holy that I totally missed all these posts Lolo!!! I am so sorry! I didnt realize you were posting!
About Kurtis, It definately sounds off! Go with your gutt. You have been there you know what the signs are. As for the giving this baby alachol that is DISCUSTING! Just because his mom has had a bad life doesnt mean she can make is bad either... Someone needs to break the chain.
Steve is your landlord right... Tell him to scratch his ass in Macy's Window! Really the Jerk~! Oh make sure you tell him in NYC... he will be gone AWHILE@@!!! LOL
Oh lord im in rare form
I'm so sorry you had a panic Attack Lolo. They are awful! Do you have any meds to come down off of them?
I wish you well during your trip! Be safe and please let me know when your leaving.
Love ya
Dawn

I have to sit and write this out on my couch because if I don't get this off my chest I am going be possibly have a heart attack. My bp at the Drs. today were over 200 over 110.. I was elevated from all the events this week. Then the doctor made me wait an hour to get in today and by that time I was so upset that when i finally got into one of his rooms I was in a crisis and crying. Waiting that long set it off because I know my hbp was fine until the secretary made me wait and I don't know why.
This week some one tried to break in upstairs(Wednesday) and if it weren't for me looking through the back door( burglars were at the front door) this place would of been robbed. I saved Steve's place from being robbed and you think he would of said Thank You.. NO!! nothing.. he is such a scum bag. I couldn't relax at all the day after or even that evening. Friday night he comes home stinken drunk and at midnight .. I am sleeping in my room downstairs.. he starts throwing things on the walls, floors swearing etc. Mickey(my cat) was so afraid she ran out through the window. This went on for an half hour. I was not going to go upstairs because he woke me up and I was already pissed about the break in attempt. But I did feel I should pull out a knife in case he came downstairs to start trouble. Then I hear him beating on his innocent sweet dog that just wants to love him. That's what makes me angry.. he is such a coward that he has to beat on his dog. I waited an hour then went upstairs after he passed out to check the damage and see how Cheyenne was. I left water for her as he never does. She never drank any water but just layed there on the mat.. (very unusual) probably depressed. After he left for an hour the next day, I heard him leave I went upstairs to cheer her up. I touched the side of her nose where he must of punched her and said Iam sorry Cheyenne and gave her a hug. She knew what I was saying and jumped on me and gave me a big kiss. I know now when he beats on her because she walks around like she's begging and circus like animal. Everyone thinks it's so cute but they don't know she was just beaten the night before for no reason because her owner can't control his own anger issues and takes it out on her. Then earlier on in the week he woke me up at 6am to throw his laundry in and couldn't get back to sleep. He was here the night before watching TV couldn't he of then think to do his laundry??? It's been very hectic packing, weighing things to be shipped using scales. Thinking of moving home again .. some issues there. Me leaving Vancouver.. I am losing my freedom and moving back home and I am 55. But as it turns out I am beginning to look forward to it. My brother wrote to say they fixed the basement up and I have my own lil living room, bedroom and bathroom. They put some furniture down there, TV and telephone, trying to make me feel at home. They know Iam sick and I am so very grateful. I feel  I am aging so much more now and I am losing my freedom anyways being an agoraphobic.Usually what I don't like turns out to be the best thing for me so I am very humble that my brother is going so far to make me feel at home.
My hbp was something 200 over 110 I was so upset.. today in his office. I just wanted to get out of there. He made me wait an hour to see him. I was not very happy about that and never complained in the 5 yrs. I have been going to him. I will probably go home in a body bag if I don't relax. Fedx picks up the boxes tomorrow and friday morning I leave. I am just going to take extra anti-anxiety meds to relax me that's all i can do. I haven't spoken to Steven since Friday and if knows best he will stay out of my way. I was ready to have a fight with him about Cheyenne. He knows when I am this way I will back in the corner with my  cutting words and he can't stand that or I will wrap his butt around his nose. He's 47 and acting like a child. OK can't get upset.
Thanks for the couch.. Still wish I had some one else there with me.. I don't like an empty couch ) If anyone saw me talking to no one they would think I am really crazy!!!!!!!!!! Thank You)

Lolo,
You are NOT crazy! I take it that you were posting at the doctors office? They should not do that to you especially being they know you have anxiety! I hope you are ok.. Having a panic attack is not fun. Did the doctor make you stay until your bp went down? What I do when that happens is tell myself that I am fine over and over again and breathe really slow and deep. And it tends to get better. Of course when I have panic attacks I act like an idiot and know I'm going to laugh at myself after it is over. But when you are having them they are very real.
I wouldnt even waste my thoughts or time on Steven.... He's not worth one second of it!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers the whole time your gone hun and you will be missed! I will waiting for you...... :o)
Love you
Dawn
