Sherri and Ed might be dead...?!?!?!?!?
As you probably already know, these two unusual characters that reside next door to me, hardly ever make themselves seen…
It still remains a mystery as to how they manage such a feat. They both have jobs, so they come and go at least twice a day, five days per week.
Also... what about food shopping and all that other boring crap most of us need to do on a regular basis? In the fifteen or so years that I've known them, I might have seen them come home with grocery bags, maybe three or four times...!!!
How come I see all my other neighbors much more than I care to, and not these two birds on a regular basis? I'm beginning to wonder if they're merely a figment of my imagination?
I really should bring the subject up with my Therapist… I mean... it's not that I haven't thought of mentioning it to her during past psychoanalytic sessions, but I didn't want her to think I was crazy...
ANYWAY...
Ever since this Covid thing scared the shit out of almost everyone around here, Sherri and Ed have become even more reclusive. So, maybe they're not dead after all? Perhaps there's some other sound reason why I haven't seen their cars moved for about a week.
I don't know...???
Ed works from home since Corona became more than just a Mexican beer. He's informed me of that one rare occasion I actually spotted him within ear-shot (I almost forgot) So, that explains his car sitting in the same spot for a week or more.
But, what about Dr. Sherri M.D.?!?!?!? Huh…??? Maybe she's doing that 'Tel-Med' stuff I've been hearing about lately? She sits home at the computer and has patients expose themselves to her online, instead of at the office?
Fortunately, she's not a Proctologist… or a Gynecologist, because you need to probe orifices if one of those is your specialty. How the hell can you probe butts and vaginas online…?!?!?!?
Such a mystery, I tell ya.
I've begun sneaking over to their front door late in the evening to sniff around a bit. You know... in order to determine if there's that smell of death seeping out... So far... nothing… Fortunately!
Maybe they haven't been dead long enough yet? Or, only one died and the other buried the body out back in a stealth manner, or stuffed the corpse into a freezer...?!?!?!?
Since Sherri's a doctor and Ed is a chemical engineer, they probably both know how to preserve dead bodies. So, either one of them could have croaked...!!!
I don't know… Maybe I need to stop worrying about trivial things like that? But, I do get bored sometimes which sets my mind to wandering and wondering.
Listen, my friends... I'm gonna take a break now and turn on You Tube. There might be a new Livestream of that guy walking around Cincinnati with his Galaxy VI for eleven hours?
After all... Cincinnati, Ohio is the place we all wish we could tour, every day, for many hours in an attempt to satisfy our deepest yearnings.
I'd hate to miss a single minute of it, as it actually happens😒 What a devastating, psychological event, that would be!!!
Till next time; stay well, or get that way...
Ciao
Your not dead so it's all good👍
Thanks @j85063... Not being dead, is good for something, sometimes...😎
...the plot thickens...we need photo's! lol
A Hacker absconded with the rest of them, leaving only the two presently visable😖
So Ed is mixing up chemicals in the basement and Sherri is true internet connected to a remote controlled probe drone .... while they stashed up on supply's .
You got some smart neighbors ,... and wakky to ;-)
Yes... They can be very (unknowingly) entertaining at times...😎
They're hiding from you @angryman, ithink it's obvious. You know their employment, eating habits, parked vehicle timeline, picturing their bedroom window, even rappin with the shrink about'em.
You're reading this from their rooftop aren't you?
No... The wifi signal was bad up there, so I had to scurry down and make a bologna sandwich for the pizza delivery guy.
You don't have to answer this truthfully--I get it. What type of signal is required to know they were ordering a pizza and how'd you know their delivery driver didn't want Turkey?
My phone capitalized Turkey (again), stoopit thing doesn't know the difference between territory and lunch meat.
Mental telepathy... and, by the way... the pizza guy was from Turkey...!!!
Turkey. See that? It did it again. I wonder what else these things do.
😎
You'd think bringing home that kind of bucks, they would update those windows and siding.
It must be cold in there.
Maybe that is why their corpses have not made themselves known?
Well... they have displayed a sense of being somewhat (how can I put this- politely...?)
CHEAP, STINGYfrugal😎Yet, in partial defense for them, we live in a part of town that has one of those local 'Historical' labels placed upon it, which restricts alteration of exteriors with modern
materials/design...
My suspicion though, is that many owners use that as an excuse to not spend money for upkeep in this decaying City. Most of the large, old homes have been converted into multi-family units, owned by slumlords.
Sherri and Ed probably have that money hoarding disease. There's no mortgage left to pay, never had any children to support, etc. For all the complaining and fear they have about the neighborhood, I'm fairly certain they could well afford to have sold and moved a long time ago to a more peaceful location.
Has anything 'historical' happened in the town?
Let alone that house in particular?
All hail, crapitalism,...
A bunch of Revolutionary and Civil War stuff went on, in and around these parts.
Damn rebels,...
I bet those rules make a place hard to sell.
Unscrupulous Realtors in the area, are known to keep silent about the 'Historical' designation to prospective buyers. Unethical, yet not illegal… "Buyer Beware"
It's ok to lie, it's bidness,...
It's time for a better way, iyam.
Door and window sniffing - The age old manner in which to find out if your neighbours are rotting away inside the house. Lol.
Maybe they have a network of tunnels beneath the house? I'd be getting the shovel out and digging holes all over the place to find out I reckon...
TUNNELS...?!?!?!? Ya know… I hadn't thought of that possibility...
The 'Underground Railway' during the Civil War and bootlegging activity during Prohibition went on around here. Sherri and Ed might have a house connecting to those tunnels.
That's gotta be it! Maybe they're 'shiners and move themselves and product via a subterraneous network of passages?
😎
I'm rather reclusive myself. It's pretty easy to not be seen when you don't want to be seen. When my neighbor didn't see me for a while she would call to see if I'm still alive, and most times I didn't answer. How do you tell someone, especially an elderly lady that it's not you, it's me... now leave me alone without offending her. I understand the plight of the non-friendly, non-social butterfly.
I've become more reclusive as the years pass, too. Avoiding excessive interaction with negative energy, suits me fine😎
Thanks for your thoughts @bellelyn.
I had a silent neighbor, as well, back when I lived with my parents. He was probably 50+ years old. For a long while, he apparently lived there in order to take care of his elderly mother. She passed at some point and it was just him.
He was silent in a bit of a different way. We would see him leave in his car sometimes, but half of the house was glass windows and we would never see him in the windowed portion of the house. Lights were never on in those rooms, either.
People like that are kind of spooky, aren't they?
