If that n...Thanks, Mama J...It is good to be back.<br /><br />If that nurse's behavior was only snooping behind a closed door, I would absolutely have her back to teach her some truth. But the woman came riding in on her bulldozer, ready to change the way previous nurses and myself had worked out to be the best method of tending to the care of my legs. I simply do not have the patience any more to deal with that kind of person. The problem has already been taken care of and she will not be back here...ever.<br /><br />So now I am concentrating on finding more space to stack food. In a three room apartment, it is a challenge. And by the way - love the 'target practice' thing. Makes me wish I had a driveway. :)<br /><br />Take good care!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-66490834480285892812022-08-02T13:24:44.687-05:002022-08-02T13:24:44.687-05:00Plus one to deb.

I need target practice! Come straight up the driveway!" However, I WOULD allow that practitioner to return to my house....and tell her to her face how serious this business of prepping is. Tell her to get busy herself and get food and personal items put up for HER family. And also, don't seriously think you will EVER come here for MY preps. It would be a FATAL mistake. You might be able to get one person, one more family, to prepare for themselves. If that second visit didn't go well then I would call the agency. JMHO.

We prepare so we can make it through those times. Because of my medical issues, I could have a house cleaner provided, but I don't because of the same reason I don't want anyone looking over my store room pantry. If someome steals my food, they are stealing from my Grands and that I will not allow.

I have no excuse.<br /><br />First thing Monday morning I will take care of the problem with a phone call. I don't have a problem with the agency - just this particular woman who seems to think it is alright to invade my privacy. And then tell me she will just come to my house when things get bad. Nope. Not gonna happen!<br /><br />Being within a couple of years of your age, I understand that you and I grew up in an entirely different world from the one we are living in now. It seems like there were more good people then than now. Don't give up hope. There are still some of the good ones left.<br /><br />Good for you to keep on preparing. I am doing it the same way - a little at a time with each grocery order. I believe it is important to do what we can, even with prices rising.<br /><br />Take good care and God bless!

I am so happy to see you posting again 🥰 I too was feeling a bit worried about you but kept telling myself that you were probably very busy and would return soon. Just must say "what a rude person that care person is"!! I agree with your solution to call her superiors and put a "stop" on her ever returning to your home. Being an elder also (78 yrs. and living alone) I am sad to say I have pretty much lost all trust for most humans...Like you, I was raised in an environment of feeling trust and gratefulness for my neighbors and fellow men and women. Sadly, those feelings have left me. Living alone in central Illinois, I am still stocking my pantry slowly everytime I shop. I am feeling pretty well protected thanks to finding your blog, listening to your advice, and staying informed on world affairs. Thank you again for your writings....Take care ...God Bless.lynney62https://www.blogger.com/profile/13495408937759095258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-8597525627586118742022-07-31T15:55:03.861-05:002022-07-31T15:55:03.861-05:00Thanks for sharing what happened to you, Patrick. ...Thanks for sharing what happened to you, Patrick. This is the first time I have had anyone overstep the boundaries regarding my food storage. I will talk preparedness with those who show an interest, but they do not view what I have. I will be talking with the person in charge of the nurses first thing in the morning and that nurse will not cross the threshold into my home. Ever. Sadly, the time has come where trust is a huge issue and I have very little trust of those around me other than immediate family. We know that in reality, we are about three days worth of meals away from total chaos. I can not undo what has been done, but I damn sure can see to it that it does not happen again.<br /><br />My slightly twisted sense of humor still likes the idea of covering that door in yellow crime scene tape. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-3730302450303963142022-07-31T15:06:38.336-05:002022-07-31T15:06:38.336-05:00Hi Vicki...knew a couple back in the eighties when...Hi Vicki...knew a couple back in the eighties when american hip liberals were all on fire over ' freedom' in central america ... the wife pulls up in her car one day and shouts ' viva neek a raug wa ' I looked at her like she was nuts...she drove away ...couple hours later husband knocks at door , I let him in... he gos over to my desk sits down and starts going thru a stack of mail on my desk ...

And they are very good about doing that. I really don't think that a restraining order is needed. There was one other occasion when I refused to see a particular nurse after she showed up obviously sick and the next day tested positive for Covid. The agency not only kept her away from me, they fired her not long after. I think a phone call to the agency will be enough.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-23241189126015371262022-07-31T12:11:42.109-05:002022-07-31T12:11:42.109-05:00Vicki~ After you speak with the Agency about who w...Vicki~ After you speak with the Agency about who will be allowed in your home and that they need to call you to let you know who is coming and and an ETA.

Let them know you need a call on who is coming and when they are to arrive. Then if possible have a family member there while they are attending to your legs. A Cop or Sheriff in uniform would be nice. Maybe add a security system at the door so you know who is there when and why. We are also doing an inventory. I agree with Pinball that the difference between a hoarder and a prepper is an inventory and knowing where everything is stored.

In addition to being busy, sometimes there just is a need to unplug. <br /><br />Tilting at windmills. I am just one chubby granny who, though very opinionated, can not change the world. Occasionally a rest and recover time is necessary to carry on the fight I can not win, but the fight I refuse to give up on. Sigh. <br /><br />There are a lot of things that irritate me these days. But in the top ten are the words, "I will just come to your house." I wonder what the people who say that would think if we told them we would be at their house for dinner tomorrow night or that we would be at their house Saturday afternoon to do our laundry or that we would go with them to the grocery store where they could fill our carts and pay for them as well. <br /><br />I wish I had told that woman I would be at her house that evening and would expect to go through her dresser drawers. Same thing as opening a shut door. Grumble!<br /><br />I guess stupid is not going to be fixed any time soon. I will work on keeping that door shut from nosy people.<br /><br />Take care, my friend and God bless! Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.com
