The Tooth

 I ended up with a sore tooth after the visit to Costco with former neighbor.  When i bit down on a piece of pizza, at the food court, I felt a ripping sensation.

Afterwards, I couldn't eat solid food.  I can't chew, even on the left side, which is opposite of the bad tooth, without pain.

I did the usual, filled the area where a filling went missing same time with walmart temp filling and switched to liquid (soup and ice cream) diet.

I tried to get ahold of my dental office, but now it seems they only work two days a week.   I wonder why.

Well, at least tomorrow is one of those two days.

Tonight a piece of my tooth seperated and poked out awkwardly to one side.  I had to pull the piece out with my fingers.  It came out with a rip, where it was attached to gum.  Rest of remaining tooth feels solid and not painful, but now there's that gaping hole.  I will fill it up with temp filling too.

Anyway, the young women have only caught four of the five kittens living under their building.  I'm going to try to catch mom early tomorrow morning, to be fixed Tuesday, before the dental office opens, so I can then go in person to request help for my tooth.  

Maybe I'll get lucky and the remaining kitten will be out and about and go under the drop trap with her.

Today the Lebanon lady who has sold her mom's house and bought the property of a "friend" and coworker of hers just outside town invited me to go look at it.   All the trepidation I had that these were junkyard hoarder types trying to sell M the property were confirmed when my friend and her brother and nephew took possession.   

Two rooms are totally destroyed by sellers dog breeding endeavors (large breed) and the leaky roof which destroyed the ceiling in both rooms. The ceiling is missing in one of those rooms and only partially there in another.  The roof is covered in a blue tarp and held in place by car tires thrown up there.   And the whole place reeks from dog poop and urine.  One of the rooms is lined in extremely sturdy dog kennels, with 3/4 inch bars, like prison bars.  Those have to be dismantled to be rid of.  

There are truckloads of trash needing hauled off.  She is angry but won't actually tell them that or confront them over the lies they told, since they had not been allowed to see the destroyed rooms, because the couple had put doors across that section and claimed the dogs were in there, when they asked to see. 

 There are open electric boxes and oulets and hanging wires.  Meanwhile the photos they put online when advertising the property are such a joke, its unbelievable.  They show a clean well maintained exterior and interior.   I guess they're good at photo shop.  It's definitely fraud.   But M and her brother have no money for an attorney to sue the fuck out of them, which would be exactly what needs to be done.  She is a gullible person, still defending the woman, not wanting to embarrass "her friend" over the state of the house sold them.  She blamed the religion they're in and the husband, who is a born scammer and controlling of his wife who must submit to him (because of their religion).  It's fucked up, in other words.   The mobile home is worth absolutely nothing.  Zero dollars.  It should be torn down, but that would cost and then what.

Meanwhile she has to be out of her mom's house by Thursday, along with all her cats.   They sold her mom's house, that is far superior, to flippers.  

I'm staying out of it.  I'd warned her not to buy a place without an inspection, or at least seeing the entirity of the inside, and that to me it looked like it would be shit filled, the way they kept the outside, which I told her looked like a junkyard.

She could for now live in a tent if she had to, or even the barn.  The barn is filled with the former owners trash and useless junk too, but is in far better shape.  The former owners also left behind a rooster and unfixed cats.   

Lebanon lady hasn't ever listened to me.     I hope she eventually gets the place fixed up.  I think most about her cats that she's taking out to that shithole.

This is the piece of tooth I pulled out this evening. It feels better with it gone, but there's that big hole where it had been.
