(Off the Cuff Answers)
1) How much do you believe you spent on purchasing items for the outdoor stalker tree? Oh, about $15.00 or $20.00 total. I really was able to keep the cost way down by shopping at dollar and 99 cent stores.
2) Do you continue your considerations of creating "Stalkersville"? Yes, absolutely! Stalkersville will be a bigger project so I've been putting it off. I needed to concentrate on more significant things and still do, so it'll be awhile before I can begin on Stalkersville. Nonetheless, as soon as I do start I'll be sure to keep everyone posted through email pictures that can be published on this website. Of coarse, Stalkersville isn't going to be an expensive project, nothing to do with the A-P (alleged perpetrator/stalker) is worth any serious money. It'll just be a fun, goofy, sarcastic processing project like the tree but a little more extensive.
3) Has there been any recent evidence to indicate that the alleged perpetrator (A-P) has been actively and physically in your direct area? Not really recently no. Every certain or reasonably certain occurrence has already been divulged. And honestly the A-P has appeared more interested in trying to spy on and terrorize the main non-family co-victim directly rather than me lately. I suppose he figures I'll hear about it and freak out, but I've learned how to turn off my ringer on the phone! Also I can imagine that he figures this stalking crap he pulls against the co-victim will further isolate me. The A-P hasn't seemed to attack the tree yet. I would conclude that he's indulging himself in another sinister lull. Whatever thrills him. I truly don't care one bit anymore. Very few of the adult victims care anymore. We're all just royally burned out on the A-P's garbage and stalking. So, as far as I can see, for myself at least, it's sarcastic sardonic party time and catharsis all over what the A-P has done or whatever he plans to do in the future. He can just spin on a fork for all I care!
4) Do you plan to leave your stalker tree in place until New Years eve as is traditional? I'm not sure. Maybe I will. It's not like the tree requires any maintenance or anything. So it's easier for now to leave it where it's at. Of coarse, taking this kind of artificial tree down is not a big deal either. I suppose it all depends on how many other important chores I need to attend to, how many other activities I'd like to partake in, and how much really dull time I have on my hands in between. Whether I leave it alone for awhile or dismantle it, all and all I'm pretty pleased with the stalker tree. And before anyone asks, I should reiterate that I'm still not sure whether or not I'll create another stalker tree next Christmas. It will all depend on how I feel at the time. If the A-P causes me enough irritation, that's what it's come down to since I've gotten so sick of his crap, I might just run the film, "As the Stalker Turns," up against some mountain or brick wall or both. I've got plenty of ideas that I wouldn't mind actualizing. So we'll see what happens with my new forms of creative catharsis and whimsy.
5) How are your pets faring? They're fine. I keep all the pet dogs inside the house at night thesedays so they'll be 100% safe. I don't have cats anymore. I got away from cats soon after I stopped rescuing them.
6) Can you explain to this site's viewers how you came to rescue small animals? Yes, basically because of the extremely rural area in which I live. I discovered, I couldn't miss it really, that a lot of people would dispose of live dogs, puppies, cats and kittens by dumping them out here in the desert. Sometimes these people would just zip into this area in their cars and toss or kick an animal out like it was trash or something. The animals would either dehydrate to death or get attacked and killed by coyotes. If the weather was cool the animals might starve to death or get killed by coyotes. Every once in awhile they'd make it to a country road, looking for their owner's car maybe, and get run over. In any case, I felt sorry for them and I started taking them in whenever I found them. And I'd usually find them while driving to or from town to run errands or by hearing them whimper or cry in the desert when I was outside doing my chores. Sometimes they'd literally stagger into my yard thirsty and starving. Well, I just couldn't let them die! So I'd rescue them. I had and still have a small kennel system that I used to put them in, and I'd take them to the vet if they looked like they were in especially bad shape. Anyhow, I obviously couldn't keep them all, so I found no kill rescues that would take them after I got them vaccinated and healthy enough to go. I rescued these little critters for several years until the need wasn't so much there anymore. I think that the increased number of homes in this area has decreased the numbers of animals dumped off out here.
7) How many rescued small animals did you keep in your family? I kept two dogs that were abandoned out here. All the rest of the little guys were placed with other rescues that were better equipped to care for them.
