Valentines Day

Valentines Day

What struggles, after yesterday and tomorrow I have to be in early…

While using a different fork lift I got stuck in rough terrain. Something failed and the apparatus was damaged, I was able to do my job, but due to the rough conditions, I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. I do hate when everyone is losers when conditions are all but impassible.

I’m not feeling very much like a Valentine or even celebrating, I know I have to go to bed early, so I won’t spend a lot of time trying to do much of anything.

I’ve been wrangling with a poster on a particular message board, and I think it all comes down to this.

My Valentine

My Valentine believes,

There are many people that do not believe,

May we all be Blessed, All that Believe are Blessed in the Spirit.

The conversation on the other message board delves into Baptism; I believe that those that believe are baptized in the Spirit. With Faith and the following the teachings of the teachers of GOD we are granted grace. The word is written on our hearts.

Peace and Blessings,

Sincerely,

Gary

My Day Yesterday 2-13

My Day Yesterday 2-13

I didn’t have to work because of the snow from Saturday into Sunday, so when the children had a delayed start, I would be able to take them to school, as I spent the weekend with my wife and children, we didn’t do a whole lot this past weekend on Sunday I shoveled out my wife’s property and I spent a lot of time just being…

After dropping of my daughter, I headed over to my house where I shoveled off the walk leading up to the house and a parking space out on the street. I wanted to take my son to school and we ended up walking him to school. I needed to shovel out back, and clear out by the garage. I had Emily (the golden retriever with me). I gave the dog water, took care of some business, where I had to run to the store and the post office. I had a nice lunch and returned to file my complaint against my landlord and the realtor.

Tenant Gary Landis vs.The Landlord Girish Amin in a Landlord Tenant dispute:

I rented a house at 336 Edgewood Drive, Hatfield PA 19444

I was requested to provide surety of $1,000.00 for security of the property of Girish Amin and his wife. I was also requested to pay the last months rent at the time of signing the lease.

During class in Business Law, one of my assignments was to research Pennsylvania’s Landlord Tenant Laws. The surety that is given as security is to be placed into an escrow account and any money that would not be repaid to the tenant is required to be accounted for in writing.

I made improvements to the property at 336 Edgewood Drive Hatfield while living there and received no report of causing any damage to the property from which my security could not be returned to me. There was also a matter of one month’s overpayment of rent. These losses account for $1,900.00 and as I understand the improper handling of security could double the award of damage.

Involvement by the RE/MAX Realtor (Rich Markel) that confused the Landlord and misrepresented facts to me and my wife:

In trying to get my money back that I am owed. My landlord arranges a meeting with the selling agent Rich Markel at the RE/MAX office he works out of on December 12, 2004. At the meeting Rich Markel mentions that he feels Mr. Girish Amin doesn’t owe me anything. The sale of the house was to be on September 30, 2004 and because the property didn’t sell until after October sometime he feels that Mr. Girish Amin has the right to keep the money he owes me because the lease was broken by me before the sale of the house. The lease that was written for a year from April 1st, 2004 to March 31st, 2005 was broken prior to the sale of the house at the request of Rich Markel and Mr. Girish Amin. I was asked if I could leave the property at the end of August, due to a mid September settlement date. I had paid rent to the end of September, and I was completely out of the property and returned the keys by the 4th of September. I did not receive full access to all of the services that I paid for.

I was offered an apartment that would cost less than the rental of the house, this I refused because of another unexpected arrangement that would come my way.

In an attempt to bring attention to the wrong doing of Mr. Rich Markel, I contacted the people at RE/MAX and had several conversations with Mr. Scott Kelley the Harleysville franchise owner or manager. I have recorded two conversations that were left on my voice mail.
i. The first is a message by Rich Markel that indicates while feeling Mr. Girish Amin doesn’t owe me anything, he might be able to convince my former landlord to return half of the money that I am owed.
ii. The second is the last message received concerning this issue from Scott Kelley. Mr. Scott Kelley insists that Rich Markel had nothing to do with my obtaining my lease, and nothing to do with the lease, he advises me to obtain a lawyer and have my lawyer contact people from RE/MAX, that I should not contact them personally.


So naturally when I went to print the complaint out I would find that my printer was out of ink. Arrgghhh, now it is off to the store for $66.00 worth of ink cartridges. Come back install the cartridges and print off the document and head on down to District court to file my complaint with 5 min. to spare. Pick up my son from after school day care, talk to my wife and find out what she is doing. My wife will pick up some odds and ends and meet us here? Then I finished shoveling in front of the garage, and talked with my daughter who is fussing over her brother’s school bag. My son was working on the computer, and I called my wife she won’t be meeting us at the house she is still at the store and will meet me at the school for the teachers meet and greet. The meet and greet ended around 8:45 and it was home to find out that our dog was getting treated for a thyroid problem? Well hold the boat! She just suffered a seizure what is this about a thyroid problem, this is the very situation that my wife and I went the rounds about when she decided that she needed to see a thyroid doctor… Well hold the boat, I say again, what is lacking in the dog’s life? I think my wife and the dog both suffer from the lack of exercise and a mild form of depression or lack of attention. A lack of attention can very much cause depression.

So my wife and I get into a big argument over how I know what I know and how I can be so certain of what I know…

The moon is full and beautiful and my life just went full circle.

I go to sleep, she is upset and takes the children and the dog to her house, the children often times interrupted out private conversation and at one point my son interrupted and not knowing what we were talking about said dad why do you like making mom cry?

I certainly wasn’t trying to make my wife cry, she kept stating things that I wasn’t saying, she would say that she felt that I was implying things that I wasn’t saying, and these things that she heard in her own mind made her cry, I tried to explain, and being as exhausted as I was from the stress of all things that I was doing or that I am trying to do, I certainly wasn’t able to clear the air, in fact I am quite hurt by the implications and the way that things are done, again, things are done with out my input or thoughts on the matter.

One thing that I see that these pill pushers are overlooking is that the mind is in control of the body and they are not trying to access the mind to engage the mind to function better.

If the dog is walked on a more regular schedule would that improve the thyroid condition? If I could hear the dog request to do things as much as I see her nearly beg, and if I had more energy then I could do what the dog wants to do and I would be more attentive to the dog and others around me.

Unconditional love came up and that I use love as a reward and discipline system to connect with people. I believe that unconditional love always has conditions and indeed I use my gifts to the best of my abilities.

I am still not getting heard or maybe I am starting to be heard and yet I am not believed.
Tomorrow will have plenty of ups and downs.

In the light of the Previous Post

In the light of the previous post, consider this is a post that I made on my thread in a Beliefnet Dialogue Group called Nurturing and Positive Thinking #12 the Thread “Movies” Post #6 2-9-06 At 7:18 PM. Is this Prophetic?

What other movies are good to see? I thank all of the people that are praying that things will get better, we have a snag in the process, she and I do not see eye to eye, and the doctors have given me a report that is quite distrubing.My 14 year old needs no parents, the psychologist, psychiatrist and administrator of the guidence center have declared by the new law enacted last year that parents are not required to be involved in the counseling of minors.More issues cropped up for the two of us, her mother and I, we have our hands full and it looks like I need to be involved in changing the laws, several laws are beyond common sense, as applied by the educated which aparentely have become dumbed down and lost interest in bringing people together. They are looking for guinea pigs to experiment on and I'm putting my foot down.Get ready for a great Earth shake...It is gonna be a big one, thank the educated for this one. Parental rights can not be and shall not be removed because a parent suffers an injustice, this whole thing is ridiculous, we need to fix what is broken in our society, we were warned and noboby is listening. I know my beliefnet friends are listening but there is little we can do to be heard with exception to our prayers being heard, the rest is out of our control, and we are left to be victims with out a voice.President Bush calls for peace what a laugh when he has no respect for the rest of the world he is looking for terrorists and then he doesn't see that he is creating terrorists here and abroad. Terrorism on the rise, and yet he denies.The cure is simple, justice and liberty for each and everyone to be free.The truth is an essential key, with out truth, there is a trap. Set yourself free and know the truth.

What happened Wed and Thur February 9&10 2006

I was wondering what happened to our Hats Jo...

Wow, is all I can think of right now, may I share a little story that happened over the past two nights?

I'm prayin' for Clinton, and others, GOD be with you and strengthen you...

You have found strength and you will get through this, I see a great and bright aura around your words, I feel your sorrow and know your heart...

Let me share,

Two nights ago on Wednesday night, (my wife and I are getting back together, just so you know...) My daughter hatched a plan to get herself a new daddy and seperate her mother and I, she used the works of the dark arts, to manipulate the situation. Where did she learn to use the dark arts in such a way? (Idon't know if I can explain that or what the dark arts are, but that is the only description I can give to what has happened.) So I've been calling and leaving messages to the people involved with my daughter and the counseling that nearly broke our house up for good... They sent me this letter, and I read it after getting al ready to go to my wife's rental. I even packed the material to submit my next case into that blasted court room where all of my troubles began... 38-1-17 I know this district court and it's operator's I'm not pleased to have to go back and I've been dragging my feet trying to figure another way out of this filing in this court room. If I could change venue I would.

So I get this letter and I realize that it is telling me that the laws were changed last year, parental consent is no longer needed for young children between the ages of 14 and 17 to receive medical counseling and treatment as prescribed by doctors and counselors. The letter indicated that they didn't want me to contact them by phone any more. The law used to require the consent of one parent, and that is how I was excluded from my daughter’s therapy. I needed a lawyer just to be involved, and now the doctors tell me that it doesn't matter... so I told my daughter in no uncertain terms that I wasn't happy with being treated this way, as I knew what she had revealed to me and by this time also her mother. She is on a medication for Bi-polar and Epilepsy and she was diagnosed with depression. They switched her from Prozac to Lamictal...

I know that Lamictal is a very dangerous drug... It can cause seizures... So what is a seizure? Follow along...

Any way, I took the letter after confronting my daughter about her therapy and her motives.

I took the children to their mother's rental, I object to living in a house that we are not buying. And upon arriving I present my wife with the letter, she reads it and is confused, this is not the response that I am looking for, I told her I had heard her apologize for what had happened with my daughter and the counseling, and I didn't like that it was done or started behind my back. At the onset of the problem I gave my wife the cold shoulder, I wouldn't talk or eat or sleep. I didn't partake of normal family relations, I was waiting for an apology for what they had sneakily done and to see the problem fixed. I wanted to be included.

As it turns out I finally got my apology, the repair is yet to be made or completed and this letter is the catapult to put things into the light of where the real problem exists. I was ready to leave Wednesday night when suddenly I see a change in my wife's understanding, she asked a couple of questions and then the problem must have registered, she turned to my daughter and asked her to check her motives for what is happening here. My wife explained to me while talking to our daughter that it was at our daughters request that they leave our house and establish a rental on their own to start a new life. Through some questions that were asked about us going on a date the other night to see the movie Goodnight and Good luck... My daughter responded to her mother that she didn't want her mother to go on a date with me her father; she wanted her mother to go on a date with another man... Click! A moment of Ah-ha! And now this letter... Well our daughter was real upset that all fingers were pointing at her, I understand the burden of guilt and blame that she was experiencing, her whole world just came crashing down... She retreated to her room, and she wrote some very nasty things, things that she didn't learn at home... I was handed the notebook with these writings and I put it in a safe place. We have a counselor’s appointment on Sunday. I intend to have a few words with the counselor... First my wife can speak, then I will take my turn and then the whole family might be brought in, if after the two of us the counselor still wishes to be involved. I already know that the psychiatrist feels anxiety and wishes to be removed from my daughter’s therapy... Things are going to get interesting... What happened the next day? Keep reading...

The day went into night and the night went into morning, after I woke and did my morning routine, I went to work, our daughter skipped school because she wasn't feeling well from the night before.

I was late for work by a few minutes, my greatest failing in life is I am always late for a lot of things; work is one of them... Well on this particular Thursday they had me scheduled to come in later to begin with and being late again didn't sit well with anyone... I had to explain what was going on in my life especially the night before... What happens next?

I go through my day fairly routinely and head home, I didn't know that our daughter didn't attend school, I pick up our son and he informs me that Val didn't go to school.

So I do my thing on the internet, I spend a good deal of time on attempting to follow along and at one point I write the line about a great Earth shake...

It was getting late and after talking to my wife on the phone several times, and giving her the chance to talk with our daughter about the night before, I decide to put an end to my son's pestering and head on down to the wife's rental...

I stop on the way down at McDonalds and grab a bite to eat for the two of us, and after McDonalds we arrive at his mother's rental, I sneak in and head straight to the bed room, I don't want any confrontations with our daughter who I saw was in the living room, and I needed some sleep... I'm in bed, no big deal and not a lot of fan fare, which is just fine... We all know how stressed out we all are... I'm almost asleep when I hear a commotion in the living room. I rush into the living room to see what is going on and my wife is pushing the dog up on her belly as I notice that something is wrong with the dog, (Emily). My wife called me over to support the dog while she called a veterinarian one that she works with. I told Val to calm down as Mary also mentioned that she was possibly upsetting the dog by panicking. I held Emily's head and started massaging her neck right above her shoulder blades. I noted that she had a racing heart and while kneeling along side of her and massaging her neck I leaned near to her ear and whispered it's OK... Calm down... Calm down... And I continued to massage her neck this seemed to be working, she was quivering a bit and the quivering slowed and stopped, suddenly Emily started wagging her tail, this was a good sign and even better as my wife watched on and tried to describe to the vet what she was observing, she saw Emily move her head and lick my far knee as to say thank you... Emily got up circled around and laid back down in front of me; she laid on her back and wanted her belly rubbed. I obliged for a little while and then went back to bed...

Everything seemed fine, Mary went over to the office to do her duties that are included with the house rental, she gets to walk dogs in the evening...

While out walking the dogs Val decided to do something else and brought Emily in to me to watch as I thought I heard her ask me to watch my dog, as though to say that this was truly my dog...

I have to wonder what I have as a gift that Mary revived after a kiss that nearly killed her when we first reconciled our marriage and now that I brought the dog out from having a full blown seizure.

I hope that now after seeing what our daughter has seen she understands that I am a person that requires a little more respect than what I have been given.

Peace and Blessings to ALL

Sincerely,

Gary
