CRISPINS CRITTERS

Scott,

Glad you sorted it out and moved on.....

Regards + HH

Bill

Ah, I see that there are those who want to hear the story....


I was in my late 20's, just moved to Wichita, Kansas to accept a
management position at a "long-term" care facility.
I was the Maintenance Director, and a resident had in their employ
a "personal nurse."

The "personal nurse" and I soon became fast friends, and more.....

Within a couple of months, we got married.
(Mistake #1)

It was decided that I would move in with her in her mobile home, in a trailer park in Park City, North of Wichita.

Perhaps Park City might sound familiar to you....
It is where BTK was located...

Anyway,
This woman was a pro at manipulating my behavior.
She always made me feel inferior and was always accusing me of flirting.
It was so bad that when we'd go to the grocery store, she would accuse me of flirting
with the cashiers and strangers in the aisle.

Then it progressed...
When we would argue, she had pre-arranged for the neighbors to call the police.

I soon became well known to the local law enforcement officials.

Now, mind you, this was all gradual...

Then, it became aware to me that she smoked crack.

One night, about 2 am, she wanted me to go to "the hood" and get a $100 "front."

I said, "Bit**, you're crazy!"

I turned away and she picked up MY gun, a TEC-22, and fired.

The bullet passed through my shirt in the chest area, missed me and lodged in my right arm.

I immediately wrested the gun from her and went to the
bathroom where I tore a towel into strips and bandaged my wound.

I then got in my car and drove to a parking lot about 5 miles away to spend the night in safety.

She had before had me arrested for DV, and her niece
was a bondswoman that she would use to get me out of jail.
She once told me, "I can put you in jail, and I can get you out."

Well, from then on, I stayed with a Friend and,
early one morning, before work, I decided to go and get some of my belongings.

The neighbors, in her "employ" called the law and I was again arrested.

This time, I spent over 60 days in jail because through her niece, no other bondsman would touch my bail.

During my time in jail, that's when I was "cleaned out."

When I finally was released, after her not showing up for court 3 times,
and threatening to have a lawyer disbarred,
I had lost everything; My job, my collections,
alienation of some of my friends and family and respect in the community.

I pushed on!

I got 3 jobs, paid the fines, did probation, and last that I saw of her, she was a passenger, in her car, with a dude cruising in a "drug neighborhood."
How do I know that it was a "drug neighborhood?"
Because I was the Maintenance Supervisor in the neighborhood.

To the best of my knowledge today, she is either flopped out in a crack house, in prison or dead.

Y'all know what has "become" of Scott.....

There are many details that I've left out to make this story less confusing, but,
Y'all get my message...
AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE,
YOU BETTER OPEN YOU'RE EYES!


A lesson learned the hard way without the cost being my life....


Don't get much more personal, does it?


Best,

Scott​
 

Bill,

I HAVE moved on... and up!

I feel that my experiences can possibly help others.

If I would have died that night, I would not be able to help others as I now have devoted my life.....

Always my Best Wishes to All,

Scott
 

Every day is a Beautiful Day!



Best,

Scott​
 

Scott,

Here's a song for that stage of your life.....

I have nothing to add to what has already been said. I'm glad you survived, my friend.

Crispin
 

I'm out for the night folks, long day tomorrow...Guinness on the horizon...Moohaha!
 

Chris, No I haven't injected anything like you're talking about, but am always experimenting with new techniques. I am quite familiar with fiddleheads, and ramps, as they are a major springtime quest........And I need to resupply the pantry with pickled selections if you guys are headed this way. Have you tried smoking a rear quarter if venison, an then just before serving heating it on the grill, with your favorite BBQ sauce? Sliced to your liking, and now you know why I need 2-3 deer a year!

I have wanted to smoke a whole Deer rear quarter for a few years now. I primarily harvest Moose and have let the Deer walk on down the line.... Fresh Fall time Walleye with some caramelized Lime, smoked Paprika, and a touch of Saffron/Arctic Chive compounded butter with a saute of Shallots in Champagne served over Jasmine Rice would be the next dish?

Nothing but better times ahead.

Scott,

Now I see your affinity for camping and being alone in the outdoors. That's a therapy that I've used for years, and as I posted recently on another thread, you and your personality are molded by your surrounding environment, whether it be the Mountains, river, swamp, lake or ocean.....you are your best when you are comfortable in your locale. Sometimes I find being in the underwater world is the most satisfying and relaxing because I am only a temporary visitor there, and can bring myself back simply by surfacing. I'm also a firm believer the past is history, and the futures a mystery, so let's relish the Present we live in!:icon_thumright:


Ah,
I see that you follow my "Camping" thread.

You are correct, my Friend.

I am at peace when I camp.

I have time to genuflect on what today has shown and what tomorrow may bring.

Peace to you, Friend!

Best,

Scott

I for one am not working in the Am, I love my 4 day work week of excessive hours. Good night to the early birds.... My day usually starts at 5am Canuck time, not tomorrow though. I'm pondering on sleeping in till 7 as we are not heading out to the bush this weekend.
 

I am weary tonight, having bared my soul to my Friends.
Please do not think badly of me.....

I have made mistakes in my life, and surely many more to come.....

I can only hope that through my disclosure, others may learn.
Including myself.

Good night all.

Best,

Scott

If there ain,t whos it on? L.o.l.
Funny things happen when the law/judicial system steps in and sees to it lint in your pockets is all one needs.
To keep it p.g. i,ll skip tales , a couple divorces brought better senses.
Yes it truly gets better,much as one wants to make it. Some things go with us that are not tangible.
Scott i did meet a guy whos girlfriend shot him in the guts. showed me the scar and when i told him i would not go back for seconds he lifted his shirt higher to reveal a fresher one! :BangHead:
 

Folks,

Some old Rod Stewart stuff....enjoy....

It's all over now....








Ah,
An old Rolling Stones tune......



How can I call it a night when my Friends keep posting great music?

To me, music is rejuvenating!

Best,

Scott​
