In thinking out loud on February 18, 2012 at 7:56 pm
- I like it, Dawood!I think the word is good but the noun is discrediting all who deserve it.There is so much change in America.This morning’s news says that so many women are having children out of wedlock and many more are raising kids by themselves.Progressives have changed the political atmosphere and our government has become so large and continues to seek more and more power over our lives.Individuals cannot have anarchy but they must have freedom.Take care, good friend.
98 year old's bd surprise: Eviction Notice from her son
98-Year-Old's Birthday Surprise: Eviction Notice From Her Son

On her 98th birthday, Mary Kantorowski got a big surprise from her eldest son Peter. Except it wasn't a present -- it was an eviction notice.
According to 71-year-old Peter Kantorowski, who now owns Mary's home, his mother would be better off living in a nursing home. He explained to the Connecticut Post that he is worried about her safety and security, and is simply looking out for his mother's best interests.
"I don't like the way she's living over there," he said to WTNH-TV. "I'm not throwing her out on the street. At her age, at 98, I'm sure that she should be with people of her peers."
Mary has been living in the small, yellow Cape Cod-style house in Bridgeport since 1953. In 1996, she and her husband John, now deceased, transferred the house to a trust administered by Peter Kantorowski -- on the condition that Mary would live there until her death. Upon her death, the home would go to Peter and his younger brother, Jack.
But in 2005, Peter quitclaimed the house from that trust to another controlled by him and his wife, giving him full ownership of the house.
Just six years later, in December 2011, he served his mother with eviction papers. He will take his mother to court on March 2.
The turn of events has Mary's youngest son, Jack (pictured left) reeling, especially as he claims that he's the one checking on his mother every day, as do a multitude of neighbors, friends, and even a nurse from Bridgeport Hospital. Peter, on the other hand, has admitted he has not seen his mother in eight months."I just don't understand him at all," Jack told WTNH-TV. "There are no other words to call him, he's just a scumbag."
His sentiments are echoed by Mary's lawyer, Richard Bortolot Jr., who said that Peter was clearly booting his mother out so that he could sell the home.
Sadly, Mary's not the only senior who's suffered eviction at the hands of her son. In September 2011, 101-year-old Texana Hollis was evicted from the Detroit home she'd been living in for almost six decades after her 65-year-old son Warren failed to pay the mortgage. Consequently, Hollis was left owing $80,000 on the home, and she and Warren were forced to move into a rental home across the street.
Though Hollis was later promised by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that she'd be able to move into her foreclosed home, HUD recently deemed the home "unsafe" for the centenarian. She currently remains displaced, and relies on the charity and good will of locals for a roof over her head.
Hopefully, Mary Kantorowski won't share the same fate.
"I didn't think [Peter] would do it," Mary told the Connecticut newspaper. "My husband worked hard, difficult jobs to buy this house. He built the garage and did a lot of work on the house and he told me never to leave it."
The Front Porch ... thanks Pat!

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of
your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give
you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to be
barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God said that it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do
tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to
perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God, again said that it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field
with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk
to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty
years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty
years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed it was good. On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
And God agreed it was good. On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten
the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And
for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has
now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as
a public service. If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch.
