I haven't seen that movie in so long I only vaguely remember the mother in that. Mom is in a better mood today. I got her a new little flashlight on clearance.
Got up early to pick up my friend, went to the hardware store to make sure we had enough fittings, grabbed some breakfast from McDonalds, and drove him out to the house. The red cow was very happy to see us and started circling the truck and hopping up and down. The poor black cow is limping- it looks like her hip has slipped out of joint or something but I don't know if the vet can do anything about it. I asked the vet last time I was at the office and got a non-committal answer and refusal to come out and look at her.
Things came to a halt when we couldn't find the pex cinch tool. Looked all over for it. When I was searching for it on one side of the truck, the cow was trying to shove her head up my backside. Ok, she was just bumping me trying to get my attention. I had to turn around and pet her and sing to her for a few minutes. Decided to just bite the bullet and buy another pex cinch tool. Drove back into town & checked tractor supply. Found a few things on clearance but no pex cinch tool. Grabbed feed for the cows & some diatomaceous earth. Got stuck in line behind some dude who didn't know the right pin to use the debit/credit card & wasn't sure if it was his card or his wife's and he argued when the clerk said she would keep him rung up but pause his checkout so other customers could checkout. Finally got to checkout and then headed straight to the hardware store. I decided to take one last look for the tool without having a cow pestering me. Right after my friend walked through the door I found it stuck under a jump-starter kit. I ran in and showed it to him. He said "Good thing, because the one in here is $75!"
So back we went to the house. Friend then realized that the water supply lines he'd been ready to cut were the wrong ones (but fortunately he didn't cut them) and he was going to have to change his plan a little. Then we realized all of the pvc glue we had (for scabbing on to the old lines) was dried up and no good. But he had to be back to watch his baby while his gf went to work so there wasn't enough time to go to the store and back and then get him home. So we've rescheduled for another day.
One of the guests staying at his house had what they thought was a heart attack yesterday. Dude is 24 but had Covid twice so he's got some permanent damage. His kidneys are shot and he apparently got blood clots. They called 911, got transferred to an ambulance service which promptly hung up on them. So my friend managed to pick the guy up, throw him in his car, and make it from his house to the hospital six minutes before the ambulance arrived at his house to pick the guy up. He didn't know they were even coming since they never confirmed it. Turns out the guy threw a clot. It went to his heart. I don't think he has any insurance so they didn't keep him overnight. They released him and he went to the doctor today.
Another mooch at my friend's house overstayed his welcome again. He'd been refusing to pay any rent or contribute to pay for food, utilities, internet, etc-- all stuff that he used. He used more electricity than anyone else in the house. He constantly broke the rules & argued. He kept moving stuff around without asking and even moved stuff after being specifically told not to. Complained he was treated like a child but he acted like one. Friend told him he had to start paying & he cried and had a fit. When he go this next paycheck, instead of contributing, he bought a non-working junker truck & dumped it (along with another truck) in my friend's yard. Friend was livid bc the jerk claimed he spent ALL of the money he had on it. Night before last he made the mistake of yelling at my friend's daughter for walking in to her own bedroom and wanting to sleep there. Without permission, he had moved a cot into her room to sleep (the cot does not belong to him but he's been using it). She went to tell my friend but it was 1am and he was too tired to go kick the guy's a$$. By the time he got up in the morning, the mooch was gone. He had turned on my friend's computer, deleted a bunch of stuff from it (read some of his private messages & deleted them) logged out of all of all of my friends' social media accounts, packed his stuff, and left-- stealing the gf's house key on his way out. He sent some nasty messages to my friend blaming him for the stupid behavior, acting like his leaving is what caused the trouble (no, it was that my friend didn't get to see what he took with him). Also the guy who had the blood clot had a falling out with this jerk & his phone went missing. He used a tracking app and it was going back and forth with the jerk to work. So he stole that guy's phone. Not the first time he stole stuff either. So, my friend isn't sure if the guy stole anything else from his house when he went. Cops have already given my friend permission to get the trucks towed out of his yard since the jerk refused to come get them. Friend blocked him on social media and phone so the jerk is pissed off about it. Refusing to give the gf her keys back. I'm tempted to message him and say I will meet him to get the keys and ask him to check to see if the other dude dropped his phone in the truck accidentally (so he won't get hung up on defending himself for theft). But he doesn't have any respect for women so he'd probably be a dick about it.
IMO, my friend needs to report to the cops that this guy stole a house key & needs to give it back. My concern is he may have gotten copies made.
