RP: And NOW, Some Nice Things to Say about PROTESTANTS (NO Catholic clergy at yesterday's LGBTQ Rights and Christian Churches conference -- PITY!!!):

RE-PRINTED from herehttp://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2017/10/and-now-some-nice-things-to-say-about.html



Yes, it is TWO DAYS until REFORMATION DAY, and this year we celebrate its 500th Anniversary!!!


And PLEASE -- don't give ME Hell for MY Potty Mouth!!!
His humor tended toward the scatological. He claimed he experienced a spiritual revelation while on the toilet: “The Holy Spirit unveiled the Scriptures for me in the tower.” 

The pope, a nemesis, was his “dearest little ass-pope. 

Yes, some of his comments fall firmly within the realm of bad taste. Just before he died, Luther told his wife“I’m like a ripe stool, and the world’s like a gigantic anus, and so we’re about to let go of each other.”



Martin Luther, lover of the scatological joke.

And Readers will recall that I dated Yonty Solomon, the famous South African/London pianist and piano teacher (who taught the young gifted pianist how to meme piano playing -- and was also an extra)OVER the Y2K event, which I experienced with Yonty in London.



"I teach not only how to play, but how to LIVE!!!" ~ Madame Sousatzka



"Live Life to the FULLEST!!!"



Yonty Solomon was a WONDERFUL MAN and a DEDICATED "BUGGER"!!! And quite "sizeful" for a Jewhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonty_Solomon


Yonty organized the British Celebration of the 500th Anniversary of Beethoven's first visit to England -- by command of Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II:



Well, YOU get the idea, no???


So with Yonty now gone since 2008, Beethoven HAD TO have visited England BEFORE Martin "the Scat-Joker" Luther nailed his ThesesNow, before we get into it -- the conference, NOT scatology -- a couple of things to catch up on:


1. My brother Mike sent me funds FIRST THING this morning, the very earliest of the two-day window he said he'd do it in. I CAN'T HELP thinking, it was to REWARD ME for my well-told humorous (and absolutely true), blogged story of my neighbor "Damian's" visit a few days ago, and you can read it almost at the top of the linked posting, just below this photo:





2. Now that my landlady's son UNDERSTANDS what has been going on over here with Denise Wood SCARING his mother into protecting her "dubious enterprises" by trying to EVICT ME WITHOUT CAUSE (and because I sometimes criticize Christians), I feel that will soon be resolved -- and if NOT, then I will meet with her FULLY ARMED IN COURT!!!



So let's just let that discussion DIE DOWN so the face-saving narrative can prevail. Women HATE being caught in "wildly emotional behaviors" (and so do I). 

3. Roommate Tyler bought an older-model iPhone new this morning for $130.00 of his saved up, EARNED money (possible only because I gave him a break in rent at first), and will NOT be able to properly reload Windows 10 on the old computer I gave him -- until he saves up and pays $100.00 for his OWN licence. 




>>> AS FOR THE LGBTQ CONFERENCE: 

I think about 35-50 attended, and I was THRILLED to meet the two Wilmington, NC City Council candidates whom I had decided to vote for as well as Kevin O'Grady. Some of the attendees were NOT GAY, and I have NO IDEA if these two are or not -- I didn't ASK THEM:

The REASON I had previously chosen to vote for them is that BOTH OF THEM listed their TOP CONCERNS as being:

1. That Wilmington Government NEVER listens to Citizens and does what it DECIDED to do BEFORE getting Citizen input.

2. That Wilmington Citizens are AFRAID of Wilmington Police and New Hanover County Sheriff's Deputies (but LESS, the Deputies)because they protect the Christian Narco-Trafficking and White Supremacy. 




Rev. James Albert Ray of Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church


SHOCKING that I will vote for a clergy member!!!




Philip White



While yesterday's meeting seemed nothing like as advertised, it was STILL VERY INFORMATIVE, with NO CATHOLIC CLERGY:



But at least a FEW Catholics or former Catholics like me and Rev. John McLaughlin of St. Jude's MCC, who sat near me through the whole thing, and we exchanged lots of HUMOR (and I was THRILLED, because I'd given him HELL in this blog some years ago).



John McLaughlin


That mostly, because in the MLK Day Parade in 2011, marching next to him was Ryan Lee Burris, who has SLANDERED ME on Facebook, claiming I'm OFF MY MEDS, because I blogged about HIS association with many TOP CHRISTIAN NARCO-TRAFFICKERS in Wilmington:


That is Ryan in center, then HEAD of Cape Fear Equality, and Ryan WAS Third Vice Chair of the Democratic Party in this county. He REMAINS an Equality Board Member (Queer Rights Activists and New Hanover County Democrats are NOT opposed to hard-drug trafficking, apparently).


The woman on the left was there yesterday, and she and I did not SPEAK, but she AWARE of my blogging so also Ryan's Crimes, observed me THOUGHTFULLY and without harbored rancor.




And I realized that while I needed to see what the Spiritual Community is doing regarding Gay Rights and attitudes toward Gays, I need to stay FOCUSED on other Politics, primarily. 

Still, I learned that:



1. Presbyterians (the most represented denomination there), have the most liberal attitudes among Protestants toward gays. In fact one very vocal young man told us ALL ABOUT a "Gay Service" he had organized at First Presbyterian -- across the street from me -- which was FAR MORE POPULAR than ANYONE had dared to expect!!!



Kenan Steeple topped by "The Six-Foot Kenan Cock" at First Presbyterian is the TALLEST IN TOWN, but LOOK who are EVIL ELDERS, currently, at First Prez:








Republican Judge Lindsey McKee Luther:




SAMPLE of Judge "McKee's" husband's (Sheriff's Detective Evan Luther's)FACEBOOK postings -- his Facebook listing NOW ENTIRELY REMOVED





And I suppose that will be ENOUGH (for today).

RP: Allen Walker GETS IT about His Mother's Predicament / My GREAT BENEFACTOR, Joseph Crawford Faulk, Jr., "Nasties Out" / Brother Mike Comes Through!!!

RE-PRINTED from herehttp://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2017/10/allen-walker-gets-it-about-his-mothers.html



My roommate's legal name is Andre Tyler Breton, and as expected, no chest hair!!!:




Before I get going, my hunky straight neighbor, "Damian" stopped by two days ago. He got my attention by tossing a couple of rocks against the outside of my apartment -- which I had a fit over -- then learned that his girlfriend has REMOVED my number from his phone TWICE, now, so she must be WORRIED that he is randy enough to stray this way.



A Damian look-alike.

So I went down to the door, and as soon as he got in, Damian gave me a big bear hug, then said, "OK, let's get down to it."

As I looked down in expectation of his undoing his pants, he said, "My girlfriend and I had a HUGE blowup, and it really isn't going to work out. Can I still move in as your roommate???" Surprised, I invited him up to the apartment to talk about it, but he was on lunch break and in a hurry -- just wanted to make sure -- and the sight of his orange curly hairs peeking out the top of his collar inflamed my imagination.

But I had to tell him I ALREADY have a roommate now, and he had to get back to work.

At this time, I will only say that Tyler, whom I gave free lodging to the last two weeks of October, with November reduced rent paid weekly, then up to normal rent -- because he was in such a financial hole and had a TON of things to straighten out (which he has actually made much progress on, considering, and I've bent over backward to support him and been distracted from most of what I've wanted to do for me), is a TEENAGER through and through and I'm about to lose patience with him -- and HAVE at times.


BUT he's really smart, and as DIFFICULT as I can be -- or worse.


My fair compensation for being ME, religiously???


To get his life back in order FASTER, he really needs a smartphone and a computer, and I appealed to Joseph Faulk in NYC to help Tyler out. I'll paste the back and forth exchange of emails below on that. I had actually given Tyler my last old computer, thinking that with all my stuff removed (the hard drive had been 95% full, slowing it down TREMENDOUSLY), but many files had gotten corrupted or hackers had STOLEN some vital ones for Windows to work. He had already spent eight hours trying to get it to work, and I could see it would be impossible, so went ahead and asked Joseph.

And then although he worked nearly a full day today, he continues to work to figure out how to repair it, and has ASTOUNDED ME that without being able to load Windows, he's gotten all over the internet, including into his Cloud storage and his Facebook account. Being on that computer is the ONLY thing he is doing here, and he's OBSESSIVE.

Compared to how he got here, his meds stolen by Sheriff's Detectives and sold on the street (and he a mess without them -- but finally he was able to get a renewal of his prescription), and so much having exploded in his life of late, he was NEVER giving up and always looking for ways to fix his life -- and that computer. So NOW, he is focused totally on this, and he is so persistent and engaged, it is a JOY to see his ecstatic anticipation of fixing it -- and he slowly but surely has made TONS of progress.


But he is driving me INSANE (insaner)!!!


I DID go to the Interfaith Conference on Gay Rights and "the Church" -- meeting two City Council candidates there, and seeing a few people I already knew. I had had to stay up late last night -- then get up at 6:00 to take Tyler 45 minutes north for his job, so I was WALKING DEATH in terms of energy and mind power at the meeting, meaning I could only LISTEN, mostly. I'll report that tomorrow, because it was HIGHLY ILLUMINATING.

And I finally got hold of my brother Mike, who'd been on a camping trip with my sister Jane in western Virginia, and I caught him driving home (back into cell coverage), due to the rains that had arrived. He most graciously said he'd send the needed funds Sunday or Monday.



Mike and his handsome family at Taylor's UNC graduation 1.5 years ago.



My nephew Connor's (the tallest one), UNC graduation, showing his brother Max, and sister Taylor, back then.


Sorry, if to me, there appears to be some "male bonding" going on, with Taylor all but SQUEEZED OUT!!



Allen Walker "doing dapper" at a Great Gatsby party, recently.


Then, at 3:51 PM, I got this simple response from Allen Walker via Facebook:


Yo
Wow





I wrote him a long further explanation of the situation here on 4th Street, which should remain private, now, and he replied thus:


Roger
Its me
I dig






So, I think Allen will find a way to reason with his mother.

And two hours later, I REALIZED that Gold's handyman Thomas (who lives in a cottage at Walker World), told me Gold gave him the money to play at building it, and Gold claims he's a playboy through and through, her apparent intent in raising Allen -- but here's the late-comprehended insurance policy:


Allen is the SOLE HEIR to "Gold Walker Properties"!!!



>>> AND HERE IS MY EXCHANGE WITH JOSEPH CRAWFORD FAULK, JR. (in reverse order):


Joseph has gotten UGLY in his older and older age, and as some have pointed out, it is a DEFINITE SIGN of one pernicious form of "OLD-TIMER'S DISEASE":

Thanks for your honesty.

Scott

He is using them. He owns all his tools, etc. -- he has NEVER been homeless -- and after Sister Isaac gave gave him $50.00 check made out to me toward rent (which I cashed for him for his immediate needs), as well as a bike, a denim jacket and a lot of usable food, I knew that was a good idea. YOU try selling anything (just as a test). These sales sites -- like Tyler has been dealing with looking at used phones, are mostly scammers and incoherent inebriated people. Wilmington is TOPS in opioid trafficking, etc., and it is HELL.

That framed photo has no resale value -- except minor in a thrift shop. Have you ever tried to sell something of its "value". It is decorative, not "art".

Anyway, I'm afraid that won't work. If you only mean to say you won't help in this, please just state that. You sound angry, but even if you won't help, I'm not angry at you. I appreciate all that you did for me, already.

Hi Joseph,

First, as I've said, your invaluable financial help of me is the TOP real-world help I've had these last six years, now, and whatever you do or don't do will NOT change my appreciation.

That said, I am asking not for me, but for my new roommate Tyler Breton, legally Andre Tyler Breton:

He is completely straight and sadly hairless:

Tyler Breton.jpg

He is 29 and a licenced ship's captain on boats up to 40', as well as approved by Homeland Security to pilot boats out deep into the ocean and international waters, but the need for such pilots is waning in our off-season (he mostly did fishing trips), so he is looking for construction work for now -- or as a motor mechanic, and I met a guy he did over $1,500.00 worth of work on his car for, who had the highest praise for Tyler's work. He has no capital to start a landscape business (nor a vehicle), now. And he has a GREAT depth of info about the medications he is on, and all kinds of plants (he had a landscaping business that he sold a few years ago when he went into driving boats, instead).

He's very worthy of help and has made a lot of progress already in straightening out complications in his life, but some one-time help would speed things tremendously. Once he's working, he can buy an inexpensive vehicle, since he's such a good mechanic -- something HE will save up for and buy.

He's so broke, that I gave him the rest of Oct. for free rent, and Nov. for only $200.00, so he can get back on his feet. At first -- because local cops took his meds that are narcotic (Adderall that settles a diagnosed "nervous condition" -- NOT Meth replacement therapy like Danny Sinatra got it for), and apparently sold them on the street, he was a bit out of sorts and I was afraid it would not work, but he finally was able to get a new prescription from his doc, and he's settled right down and it IS working very, very well.

My landlady -- who has NOT married me, as you predicted -- LOL!!! -- is currently wanting me (us) out for absurd reasons, and served notice, but I am confident that she will soon change her mind, or at least stop a legal remedy and we can then find a place to share ASAP, in a friendly way. I plan to write Gold a new proposal later today, and more nicely -- HA!!!

He is working on finding a used iPhone for about $40.00, and older model that he could buy new for about $200.00, so I ask you to please consider helping him with some money for a phone, and if possible with money (or shipped machine) for a new computer, which could be small, like the one you sent Haston -- $400.00 or so, I believe.

If you would prefer to send him help directly, it could go WU to Andre Tyler Breton, here, or paypal me money to give him. I am NOT asking for money for me. Wed. the lawyer said my check would be sent to him, and then he would let me know when he sends it on to me, but no word on that yet. I will be able to get help from brother Mike with my rent/meds, so I don't need anything from you.

I figure that this much time after you gave me so much for my teeth, and Haston so much to get back on his feet, you might be able to afford to help him in this smaller amount -- and if you cant I simply accept that. You did so much for me, and owe me nothing.

Thanks,

Scott
