Garage Guy

What he says happened over the last year:

Garage Guy called this morning. Mom said he sounded good, and that he didn't want anything. Uh-huh. He said he stayed in that basement apt until March, then the homeowner through him and another renter out. (My prediction was 100% on this. We'd paid his first and last month's rent and we left him there at that end of December. We figured he'd be evicted a month after not making the next month's rent which would be...March! Go figure!)

He said he went right into a live in rehab and has been there since March (that's a year.) Maybe that explains why his aunt took him back in. He said he's one of their successes and he hasn't taken drugs since he was with us (well, I know he was smoking pot when he was in our garage.) He says he is on complete disability now for manic depression (Mom said he'd admitted to both that and being schizophrenic! Why doesn't she tell me this stuff!)

He also said his dog Carly died a couple of weeks ago. She'd developed a respiratory condition and he has $700 in vet bills. She died as he was taking her to the vets. He loved his dog but was not very responsible towards her. And I'd say the mounting vets bills occurred about the time he called us on the 3rd and said he was just calling to say hello.

He ended by saying he was looking to save money and return to his friends in out area (those would be the ones that are into the drug scene.)

Yikes. The only reason she answered the phone was because we were expecting the toilet to be delivered today. Damn.

I hoped you were rid of him - hope he doesn't come calling again.

I rather expect he will. We've dicussed it and are going to be upfront about spending $$$ on all this house stuff, which is totally true. He's like rust looking to settle into a weak chink.

Oy. You are right to feel so wary. Sounds like he's just trying to feel everyone out all over again. It's sad about Carly, but OTOH, he can't claim her as a sympathy ploy any more. Poor thing! (the dog, not GG). Good luck!

I know. We might have tried to help the dog because the dog should be punished because he's such a loser, but now he can't use her. We'll just let the answering machine catch all the calls and try to avoid him. This is ridiculous though.
