NIGHTMARE OR PREMONITION

My neighbors sacked & pillaged my house! Also they tried to kill me by shoving me out my two-story bedroom window. Thankfully, I escaped and returned with sheriffs to catch them in the act of vandalizing my home. I had the entire neighborhood arrested, but my house was destroyed! --This was a vivid, unforgettable resent nightmare of mine. And it occurred BEFORE the mid-term elections!

Clearly we are living under a dictatorship in this country. We have misleader in the White House who is leading us to ruin in more ways than one. Our new governor here in Florida had better get out his sani-flush and start gargling. I can still smell Trump's ass on his breath right thru my TV screen!

As I've stated in my previous posting, Vero Beach is a Trump turd stronghold. Every neighbor I know is a Trump supporter.

The day before my nightmare I complained to the head of our voluntary neighborhood association about our yearly fees doubling. Had they gone up just $10 or $20 I would have paid as usual with no complaint.

Payment is voluntary, or supposed to be. Half the residents of this neighborhood have never paid! Most of them are high income, double wage earners who would never miss the money.

I'm a single woman and a senior citizen on a fixed income, plus I've had several wildly expensive years. I was ripped off for $5,500 by a repairman and it's going to cost me even more to have all the work redone! At the same time I was hit with cataract surgery in both eyes. This was an out-of the-blue expense! Despite my age I don't qualify for Medicare, nor will I ever be able to collect Social Security. I explained all of this to the head of our neighborhood association.

My long time neighbor replied, "You'd get a pretty penny for your house if you sold." He didn't even preface it with: "We'd hate to lose you as our neighbor, but..."

Way back in 2005, I confided to a therapist I got the vibe my neighbors wanted me to sell and move out. She said I was just being paranoid! -- Well I wasn't being paranoid I was right on the mark!!!

I made it clear to that neighbor, this was my home and I had no plans to move. Where would I go from here? I have a life in Vero Beach. A condo would be worse! The neighbors practically live in your arm pits! Plus you never really own your space. Also rentals are crazy expensive, this is a beach town.

I seriously considered expatriating to Ecuador or Thailand, but became disenchanted on my exploratory trips to both. They were just too Third World for me. A friend thinks Ecuador would grow on me. At my age, I don't have time for anything to grow on me. Besides, I don't want to live anyplace where you can't flush toilet paper, or must stand in long lines every month to pay your bills, or wait two weeks for a repairman whenever a major appliance breaks down.

The neighborhood head implied that I would have trouble finding someone to help me the next time my power went out if I didn't pay. Recently, I lost power for nine & a half hours! I have paid up to now and still I had a problem finding help among all these lovely people! They are as cliquish as the kids back in High School.

Next, he talked about potholes and the fact our roads are privately owned. To me, it all boils down to potholes vs. assholes. I'll take the potholes!

I'm not a part of this neighborhood, I just live here. My neighbors quickly distanced themselves after my father died and the gap has continued to widen ever since due to our political differences.

Now we have a dictator in the White House with a cult following. If these fools were told that Trump's piss -yellow hair was spun from golden thread by angels of the empyrean realm of heaven, they'd believe it unquestioningly.

A week after my nightmare, I told my brother about it over the phone. He exclaimed, "Wow! I wish I had exciting dreams like that!" To me, it was horrifying and upsetting. I can foresee civil unrest and violence erupting under Trump due to his manipulation. My nightmare doesn't seem so farfetched.

However, should my neighbors attempt anything like that; I guarantee plenty are going to get hurt. My home is weaponized!
