when neglect becomes 'don't ignore me!'

i know it's been a ridiculous amount of time since I've been posting regularly. it's almost a little embarrassing, but sometimes there's just not enough to say or maybe a little too much to say, and saying it on the internet for everyone to read is not the best way to express myself emotionally. i do have one small secret, but unfortunately that's going to have to wait a few more days... or at least until Tuesday.

but i do have some other interesting things to share with you. i have a theory, and not just any theory. i have a theory about my house. what is it you ask? i think that the previous owner (whom by the way looked like he could have been Richard Gere's older and not so attractive brother) killed his wife in my house.

clue/suspicion number 1
- when we were in the process of moving in, i was slowly unpacking every room and cleaning the rooms that looked kinda grosse. for example, the bathroom. so i've got my Clorox disinfectant wipes and i'm scrubbing down the sink cabinet where the toilet paper holder is and there is all this red stuff. it looked like it could have been dried blood but a little more orange, and it was everywhere. it's like the guy just forgot that if you kill your wife in the bathroom, blood can go everywhere! the other clue in the bathroom is that there are two stains in the linoleum tile that are dark and round and look like two little drops. now being an avid hair dyer i know what hair dye stains look like and that sure as hell isn't it.

clue/suspicion 2
- we took the doors to the closet in the bathroom down because the closet sits right behind the bathroom door and it just isn't functional. so instead of having a closed closet, we've got an open one. well in the hinge on the floor where the door would meet the floor, i found a ring! it was definitely fake... but definitely a woman's ring!

clue/suspicion 3
- for the past 3 weeks or so my little wiener dog has been running under the deck to bark at a mysterious object. Melon thought it was the drain spout because 'Robert Gere' threw anything and everything under the deck (which by the way is covered by a solarium) so Melon removed the spout but he keeps going under there to bark. in the solarium itself, the floor is all dilapidated and the carpet is coming up due to Bob's inability to weather proof anything and there is a small hole that leads under the deck that is snug up against the house. So Rosco still consistently stick his face in there when i'm either bringing him in or letting him out. Also! when Rosco is inside he digs at the floor on the other side of the wall where the hole is. i think he's smelling something peculiar.

clue/suspicion 4
- in between the shed and the solarium there is about a 3 1/2 foot gap where Bob put broken up concrete. the dude just piled it all there! he claimed it was his remedy for weeds... yeah weeds grown by your dead wife!!

clue/suspicion 5
- Bob hadn't lived there for 2 YEARS prior to us buying the house. we found this out when Melon was mowing the lawn and one of the neighbors spoke about how he used to mow our lawn to keep the property looking decent. and anything that we requested be done to the house, like the electric box being fixed and a leaky pipe replaced before purchase he was more than willing to comply.

clue/suspicion 6
- Mr. Gere moved all the way to Lancaster (at least that's what he told us) which is about 2 hours away from us.

There are a few more clues that are helping me piece together the crime, but in the event that i don't want the post to be five pages long, i'm going to take a little break. Ponder if you will.
