We decided to buy a small house on a large lot together and ‘flip’ it in 12-15 months to a developer after I had obtained the permits. As she was younger than I, we took the mortgage out in her name.

We did this for speed of application, as we wished to pursue our ‘plans’ as quickly as possible. After all , we were only going to be living there a relatively short time.

Within 9-months of moving in she became ill with clinical depression and was placed on anti-depressives, which as time went on became increasingly stronger. She then began to drink alcohol in secret and her resulting behavior patterns started to create all sorts of problems in our previously fantastic relationship.

I had to suspend applying for the Planning permits because it became apparent that her health was not going to be able to deal with any move from, or sale of, our property. As the years rolled on she became worse, she left her job on sick-leave. I started to care for her on an almost 24/7 basis, which nearly destroyed my own working life.

She was still taking anti-depressants , sleeping tablets, tranquillizers and having clandestine alcohol binges at fairly regular intervals. I tried to stop her drinking, she promised to stop drinking but the binges still occurred until they were at just 10 day intervals.

We used a few Librium based detox programs but after each one she went back to alcohol abuse within a short time. She had started collapsing in the street whilst out walking and was admitted to A&E by paramedics-medics as a result many times.

Then, one evening, as it became apparent that she’d begun another binge, she suddenly collapsed at home. She died three days later in Intensive Care of a cerebral aneurysm (stroke) aged just 49.

I immediately realized she had not made a will, but did not know that owing to her condition she had omitted to renew the ‘death’ cover on the mortgage insurance for our home, Or complete the nomination for myself under her own death insurance. As a result,at age 61 I lost everything.

I loved her very much, and she loved me perhaps even more, but in the face of the terrible combination of alcohol and prescribed drugs our once wonderful lives, with a great future, were plunged into a tragic conclusion that I never expected, or had any warning of.

If you are the partner/relative of anyone who is suffering a similar condition, always make sure that your own position within your relationship, as to important matters of finance and legalities is taken care of. Only in that way can you can face up to their difficult day-to-day existence and perhaps unexpected developments, with some element of security and safeguard. Don’t end up like myself.

Terrorists Sell Drugs

Not long ago, I reported my suspicion that terrorists were selling drugs that ended up in US citizens hands in a double expression of hatred. 

First, they enjoy hurting US citizens via drug addiction.  Second they use the money coming from the drug trade to Americans to feed their terrorist machines.  

Well, earlier today, and I apologize for not having a link handy, I read an article on CNN about an Afghanistan Taliban who had been extradited to the US to stand trial for drug trafficking. 

I don’t remember if it was heroin or opium but he was actually caught on tape expressing how much he loved selling drugs that were destined for America – because he hated Americans.  

The judge threw the book at him.  He pleaded for his wife and child and asked for just a few years because of them.  The judge countered that he pleaded for his wife and child but expressed zero remorse for the lives that he harmed with his drug trade and for being a Taliban.  

He said that ‘everyone’ in his village sells drugs and that you cannot live if you do not sell them.  

So there you have it.  Again, I apologize for not having the link but I clicked off the story and couldn’t find it again.   

So you see, if you are addicted to a drug, it is very possible that your money is actually helping to feed terrorist organizations who will use the funds to attack and kill more Americans – because they hate us.  In addition, they enjoy seeing you addicted so that they can harm you in that way too. 

Don’t let them take advantage this way.

Went to the grocery store to get some breakfast, this guy comes up and says he broke the key to his car unlocking it.  He asked me if I could give him a ride to his house to pick up a slim jim.  He gives directions to Vine street.  He goes inside and comes out with nothing in his hands.  He gets in the car and says the guy was not home.  He starts having me drive down a bunch of side streets.

Then, he pulls out a pipe and starts smoking crack in my car.    

I told him to get out and he said, “I thought you were cooler than that” .  The whole time we were arguing he is smoking from his pipe.  After a couple of minutes of not getting out of my car  I threatened him.  He got out.  This wasted 2.5 hours of my time.   I was unhappy about the time loss. 

I would have driven him to rehab if he asked me.
