We had a guy who would come in and pay the rent with his grandmother's SS check and we would give him the change. She died and he didn't report it for 3 months. Secret Service got involved and arrested him. Probably the same deal in this woman's case.

How did this go this far with the decomposing flesh leaving a stench behind and nobody knew this was happening for this long.

Well, it was a house rather than apartment, so I guess the smell was contained by the house.

Somebody found out though, can't remember how. Been 20 years.

This is the 3rd dead person I've had to deal with in less than a year. And in all 3, the body has been there for a while... in 90+ degree heat, with no A/C, in a closed room.

Had one not long ago where the homeless guy was living in an abandoned storefront and the hair salon next door started complaining of a smell coming from their HVAC registers. The HVAC unit was just a few feet from the body, separated by a wall, so it was drawing the odor.

Previous one was a recluse. Was dead in his house for a couple weeks and he had accumulated so much stuff piled everywhere inside it took the guys almost an hour to dig a path to get the gurney in and out.

The lady in the news article isn't all there. We think she simply had no clue what to do when her Mom died. It was as though when her Mom died, she just went totally blank and lost.

So you're a coroner or something?    Interesting job.

Or something.

Code enforcement supervisor. PD will call us when they make a forced entry so we can inspect, issue whatever notices and board the place up when they're done. Unless it needs to be cleaned up by Serv-Pro or A-1 Disaster, then we have to access the place for them to get in.

In some respects we have more right of entry than the PD, but we have to be very careful in how we obtain warrants if needed. There have been a couple times when I've told PD we won't access a property for them because it appeared they were trying to circumvent their warrant system.

Had an old neighbor here in Wilmington do this with their dead relative.

Left granny on the bed, with a bunch of blankets over her...for months, all the while cashing those SS checks.

I can't remember how the jig was up, but I think the kids smelled awful at school, and couldn't explain it.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
