I heard from TCH and they are processing the request. I should be getting the money for the new starts. The scale head was turned around so I am assuming that they hauled hay on Friday. Not too much has transpired so far. I am looking forward to talking to Michael and encouraging him to get his eyes checked and getting glasses. I have been thinking about loaning him the paper car until he gets some wheels of his own. I will have to think about that.

 It was a messed up day from the first. They wanted to haul containers and no containers. I called Michael and he had not received the mail - but it finally arrived. He took it to the store and they would not honor it because he had to have the card. After a bunch of phone calls, nothing changed so he has to wait a week or so for the card. I finally sent another $200.00. It is killing me. He said he wanted the money to get his birth certificate straightened out plus take his nephew and Mikey to the fair. That seemed legit to me. My God - what a nightmare this whole thing has been. There seems to be blocks at every turn. Maybe it was not supposed to be. I reminded him that nothing is free and he has to keep his eyes open for a good nursing home. The fine he has to pay is terrible. They want him to put down $1500 and pay $150/monthly. It is all a real kick in the butt and we have to be careful or he is going to be so discouraged that he is going to say oh what the hell. He said he was frustrated enough this afternoon to start drinking and have a cigarette. I reacted and he said he was only joking. But some times we joke around with what is really on our minds. He really needs to start making a move on a job and do whatever he has to do. I probably should go ahead with the plans to visit him over Labor Day. Man, he has to be strong about this situation and just relax and go with the flow - not feel crowded or hazed into doing anything.

I watched Conversations with God and I had heard about it before through that Spiritual Cinema Circle. It was impressive and might have had a message since it was from the Grants Pass area.  The Most Memorable Positive Moment was forcing Michael into saying I qualified as Mikey's Great-grandfather. Sort of after the fact I guess. What happens when the money runs out?????????
