"Life at Twisted Pines"

The ups and downs of the internet. Instant publishing as can be found thru blogging is a wonderful thing. But then there's the downsides. The burglaries and vandalism of my apt., the things in my apt., and even of my car continue. Because I do not know if my stalker is reading my blog, I have not been posting much.

"Luckily" I also have the avenue of the writing I do under my pen name. That allows me to speak a little more freely.

I had an extremely rare interaction with a neighbor today. Normally the grounds are nearly desolate, and after dark it is pitch black. This neighbor is the only female besides me who does not qualify as senior citizen. Shes about my age, about 49. Anyhow, I told her details of what has been happening in my apt. and she was stunned.

It's like a re-run of La Pew. She used to live right up the road from me in Towson in another development. She said the name of her maintenance men there, and it was the same names as La Pew. She said they also stole her food too like they did when I lived at La Pew. She had a very shocking theory of how they are getting into my place. I didn't even know it was possible.

She also asked me if I hear constant banging. I said yes I do, 24/7. She said people are up on the roof! She's not even in my bldg. But if you saw the grounds here, it looks like you've died and gone to heaven there are so many things in bloom and so many trees you'd think it would be near paradise to live here. She did admit that others here have had their meds stolen too..........I said I know who it is do you? She said yeah I think I do. I said, this is not rocket science there are very few males around at all!

I'm afraid I don't have any good news, 'cept that I function a little btter in the spring then in the Winter. She was also furious that we got trapped in our apts. for so many days. She said the workers were busy with Super Bowl that is why they didn't come to clear us out!

"Did I or didn't I win?!"

A food company that I am very fond of was looking for a slogan. They had a slogan contest. I made my entry. Then, they sent me a letter yesterday saying that such and such is the winning slogan. I thought, but wasn't that my slogan? I had given the slogen to my acquaintance and had her forward it to the site. So, I worried that maybe she got the prize instead of me. So I wrote to the company saying "But wasn't that my slogan?" They said "We'll be in touch"

If I did indeed win, then this will be the first time in my life I've ever been compensated for my writing! Wish me luck!

I can't help but to think of the amazing woman who supported her 10 children by entering contests! "The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio" I have got to see the movie too!

"Frida Kahlo"

Here is an amazing website of Frida's life and art. It is believed that she probably had fibromyalgia but they didn't know a thing about that syndrome when she was alive. Her painting where she has nails all over her and in a corset really speaks to the pain that I have 24/7.

here it is:

"My Life At Twisted Pines"

Many of you know that things took a very ugly turn for me about 9 weeks ago. Most of my clothes have been stolen from my home. There have been repeat break ins and no matter what I buy it gets stolen within 48 hours. Police don't believe me. Say, I have no evidence, but I have alot of evidence.

My lock on the passenger side doesn't work anymore, has been vandalized.  My gears as well as my ignition have also been stripped, tampered with.

There is a lot more, but for obvious reasons I can't put it on the blog.
