When I texted the Baker about bouncing out of bingo, Red Light happened to be in the Baker’s unit.
Red Light had earlier attended bingo and evidentially was hanging around Baker’s unit when my text came in.
I’d like to know what was discussed between the two of them, which prompted Red Light to text me yesterday asking if my reason for doing so was her …… that I didn’t want to come because she was attending.
Girl, please.
Super annoying that she'd think I care whether she, who relocated to a fancy luxury apartment some time ago, keeps coming back — continues to make her way over here to attend bingo, hang out.
In fact, it just recently crossed my mind, and puzzled me when I thought about how many residents I've seen move out and then, sometimes years later, put in an application. Some were successfull, moved back, others were denied.
Why return to the scene of the crime?
What's the appeal?
Are other senior living facilities that bad?
Just last week, I saw my Buddy Apache, bold as brass visiting a guy friend on the property, in violation of the restraining order management took out on him; and he was doing so during daylight hours when staff was still around to spot him.
I wanted to go down and say hey, but I was inappropriately dressed at the time.
It was just the week before when I spied Bicycle Boy lurking in the area.
People just keep coming back so, to me, Red Light is just one of many.
At any rate, That’s one, thought I to myself when Red Light texted for an explanation.
Actually, that's two because Baker also initially sought an explanation …… did someone say something to upset me.
Thinking Red Light’s question, about she being the reason, was too ridiculous to warrant a response, I brushed it off, didn’t respond.
Then today, I got to thinking …… Red Light is good at getting everyone’s personal business circulating on the grapevine. If I give her an explanation, she’ll be sure to spread it around, save the need for others to seek me out for an explanation.
So, I replied, "I like doing the flyers and web page. It's just that I don't enjoy sitting playing bingo as much as you others do and just don't want to do that part any longer".
Hopefully, that’s the end of it, but I doubt it.
In other news, I saw one of those Nazi Trucks when I was out and about yesterday.
It appeared to be undamaged, but I bet the driver is worried because folks are taking their frustrations at the maker out on the owners — Tesla’s and Nazi Trucks are being keyed, damaged with graffiti spray paint.
It’s not right, but I understand.
I heard they should be called SwaztiKars!
ReplyDeleteI think I like that term even better.
DeleteYou knew so much drama went on in apartment houses?!?!?! You crack me up too Nazi trucks! I thought I'd heard sales are down on Tesla's now...
ReplyDeleteAnd you got me on-prayer candles now. I now had to order two more of my Patron Saints...Joan Crawford and Ann Miller!!!!! The Patron Saint of OCD cleanliness, and madness, and the Patron Saint of Fabulous Hair!
Good to know sales are down. I read the recent high heats of the LA fires caused the electric batteries to not function. Teslas sat and burned. I'll have to look online to see Joan and Ann's candles.
DeleteI use a online site called Luminary & Co. A independent lady started it during the pandemic, and it has taken off. They have oodles of prayers candles. Joan was stocked...and they also sell her in a set with....Bette Davis! But the Ann Miller one is being customed made for me. Why, you could even get a Sister Shirley Prayer Candle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteHere we go again with great minds thinking alike, because Luminary & Co is from where I purchased my Luigi calendar.
DeleteI have heard about the vandalism of the Teslas, it isn't right but I do understand as well. Perhaps some of the previous Residents don't want to end Friendships made from when they did live there? I'd probably visit people I wanted to stay in touch with even if I had to move, for whatever reasons. Perhaps some of their Friends also visit them where ever they moved to... or can't if they don't drive? Too bad you couldn't say Hey to Apache, he always seemed to be an Interesting Character out of the Usual Suspects. *Smiles*
ReplyDeleteThose that come back probably go into shock at how different things are, and not in a good way. I'll eventually see Apache when I'm out and about, do some catching up. But I have heard from a reliable source that old rumor of his doing illegal substances and hanging out with dubious characters is true.
DeleteI have so far not seen a SwatziKar here in Spain. I hope it stays that way.
ReplyDeleteTheir plan seems to be world domination. So eventually 45/47 will claim Spain as part of the US and you'll see Nazi Trucks/SwaztiKars on the road.
DeleteYesterday I saw my first Nazi Truck here in Edmonton too, turning the corner right by my apartment. And hey, have you heard that people are now calling Teslas "swasticars"? Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteI just learned of swasticars from Bob's comment. It's telling how all of us who have a brain, unlike his mindless supporters, are assigning third reich names to his pal Elon's products.
DeleteUh, you need a little tiny drone if you're wanting to hear conversations between 2 tenets about what they said about you. Maybe time for a vacation? Come visit Kansas! Sounds like you gave the correct explanation to the correct news-spreading tenet. There are many really bag apartments, especially that are shared with Section 8 folks. I had several home health patients in those. Pretty bad. Might be why your buddies keep returning, for either the apartment or the fun! Stay out of jail. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get to the bottom of this because too weird. Next time I see the Baker, I'm going to ask her why would Red Light think I dipped out of bingo because of her. Those that returned because they remember the fun were in for a surprise. The daily activities we used to have are long gone, which may be why residents are so devoted to Bingo. It's pretty much all they have, except for the bone/event management occasionally tosses.
DeleteI think you did the perfect thing with that reply and worded it just right! JanF
ReplyDeleteThanks, but I'm a little miffed at having to provide an explanation.
