Jason is making me nachos for the Pats game, Bandit has tried to crawl under my skin and the cat hasn't stopped "talking" since I walked through the door. Thank you all so much for everything. Thanks almost doesn't seem quite enough... Anyway, I'm going back across the street to my internet-less abode to my very caring, sharing, loving other half who very unselfishly let me out of his sight after I just got home to come and post to all you lovely people.

10 Dec 07 - 12:26 AM (#2212286) Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Stilly River Sage I discovered this discussion (and the other thread) just now. Too bad the first thread is closed, I had some remarks. I am sorry this abusive situation happened and the law enforcement folks were not helpful. But I must protest all of the name calling of the Snohomish County folks. When you commingle civil issues with criminal issues, it is messy. You were also there during a time when the worst storm in decades was descending on the region and flooding was a real problem. Try to call a cop in Louisiana or Texas when a hurricane and blowing through--there must be some sort of triage that happens when they decide what to respond to. I'm in Texas now, I'm not in Everett, where I grew up (in Snohomish County). But I keep track of some of the goings on in the county. There is no excuse for the rudeness you encountered; that is unfortunately something one finds in most communities at some level. Snohomish County hasn't cornered the market on it. My mom worked for years for the DSHS (Dept. of Social and Health Services) and had to work hard to have her ducks all lined up in order to get certain law enforcement things to happen (like removing children from abusive homes). Perhaps instead of pondering the helpfulness of Repo men, a good attorney would have helped wade through the civil vs. legal challenges. Snohomish County isn't a backwater, and it isn't particularly backwards. It's a continuation of a major metropolitan area that expands outward from Seattle (it's the next county north of King County, were Seattle is located). I didn't see any input from any of the Everett folks on that last thread, and the lone Washington resident who did respond was a couple of hundred miles away. If I had seen this I have a couple of people in county Snohomish County and City of Everett positions who might have been able to offer some suggestions. I'm sorry I didn't see this. As someone else remarked earlier, it didn't have anything in the thread title that would have attracted my attention to respond as a local (or to contact a local). FWIW. SRS |

10 Dec 07 - 10:15 AM (#2212471) Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Stilly River Sage There is a letter to the editor in this morning's online Everett Herald. Maybe this is someone to contact--she seems to be able to get good service from the County Sheriff. (Or is on his payroll?) I noted in a PM but will also suggest here that something needs to be done with the title to that car. Otherwise you could find yourself liable for any crimes it is used in committing or for how it is disposed of by the person who has it now. File it as stolen or junk or find some way to remove the liability factor of that auto since it is no longer in your possession or control. SRS |
10 Dec 07 - 11:48 AM (#2212520) Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: Bill D SRS...a county doesn't have to be particularly backward for one or two officials to institute a bad attitude in some areas. In this case, it seemed like the sheriff's dept WAS being obstructionist....and Tami was there and began this process before the storm was a significant issue. I agree that it IS complicated to work out all the relevant legal issues in a problem like this, but it does seem like Tami and her Mom were treated like a nuisance, rather than as victims. |
10 Dec 07 - 11:52 AM (#2212522) Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: wysiwyg Hey, let's let this thread just be part of the break-from-the-past relief Tami and her mom must be in need of at this point. They can get back to the legalities later.... They're OUT-- let's not focus them on being back inside all of it. ~Susan |
10 Dec 07 - 12:22 PM (#2212545) Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: ranger1 Thanks, Susan. I was about to post that request as well. |
10 Dec 07 - 12:33 PM (#2212551) Subject: RE: BS: Tami's home From: wysiwyg It's just a sign of the widespread concern for you all at Mudcat, Tami; sometimes in that concern it's hard to remember that you're smart, powerful women who will be more than able to do your own best thinking about when to pick up any loose ends and tie them up. (I suspect we've all had our own experiences with "loose ends.") But of course you are, and you don't owe us a play-by-play account of whatever action your mom eventually takes, now or ever. What we really want is the play-by-play on the hugs you're wrapping her up in-- just kidding! :~) Merry Christmas! May the New Year be filled with the peace and fun you all deserve. ~Susan |
