YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!!!

Saturday July 25, 2015

As the guardian/conservator one of my duties was to take inventory of all the items inside and outside of the house. I already started with things in the house that we took to the dump (clothes, sheets, beds, pots, pans, carpet, etc.). Now it was time to record items we had taken to storage. My cousins from Texas came back once again to help. We started early Saturday morning at the storage unit. When we left we drove by Tyler’s Grandmothers house, so they could see the trailer and buses. Tyler was there taking some lumber from the trailer and loading it on top of his truck. We turned around and took some more pictures as a record. I felt that until this property (which was stored on the trailer) was proven to be Tyler’s, it should not be messed with. I know what you are saying: weren’t you doing the same thing?? Well, NO.
1. I had been legally granted guardianship over Mary Grace and her estate
2. I moved items to storage to protect them. I was told to secure the property
3. Anything that was sold belonged to Mary Grace and she would receive the money. So far the only thing I considered selling was the piano
4. I did not trespass to get these items

Meantime, Charlie who was not with us got a call from the caregiver staying at our house in Florida. Tyler had just called our house phone and said “If you do not stop riding by my house I am going to fill your ass with buckshot” when she asked, “who is this?” he hung up. I think he meant to call our cell phone. We met up with Charlie and went straight to the police station. As soon as we walked in (we didn’t even have time to say hello) Officer Lightsey started unloading on us, “I just got a call from Tyler–y’all have got to stop harassing him.” My response was “You have got to be kidding me–Tyler can go over to Mary Graces’ and steal her s—, but I can’t ride down a public road????” He told me I was taking this too far and it was getting out of control. He told me Tyler was on his way there to pay his bond for the trespassing charge and would be cleared to leave. We asked how Tyler was getting away with this?? He said Tyler had bills of sales which I reminded him were bogus. I also told him that the Judge had told Tyler not to go on the property without my permission. Officer Lightsey replied “I did not hear the Judge tell him that.” Really??? Maybe I should have said: Well, maybe you should call and talk to the Town attorney because he did. At one-point Officer Lightsey told me “Lady you need to back off” and he also asked me not to raise my voice at him. I apologized to him for getting so worked up and told him he would not see me at the police station again and we left.

I guess this is a good time to reply to a question from discussion group: You noticed that I raised my voice on the podcast and wondered why. Well, you are right, I do that when I feel I can’t get my point across, when I am nervous, when I get excited and when I feel that I am being misunderstood. So I guess you can say I have been talking with an evaluated voice for the last couple of years since all this started.

Ok—Let’s keep talking
