Dead Men's Bones

Matthew 23:27 King James Version
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Has been one of my favorite scriptures for probably over 50 years. It seems like I learned this Scripture before seminary possibly from Dennis Dahl I wanted my other smart ass friends. I use the Scripture whenever I wanted to indict a group of people without their really being aware of is casting the scriptorial in their direction—In that same vein whenever I had to give a Scripture reference anywhere anytime I can call on Matthew 23:27. It was my best inside joke. I use the reference often to refer to situations where things looked nice on the outside but were disgusting within.

I don't get me wrong I hate that speak ill of the place for I live but it's sort of like the Matthew quote. The property looks beautiful from the outside and actually looks pretty good on the inside if one doesn't look too closely. I can only speak with any real clarity about my own apartment but I so to get the idea there other issues and other apartments that the tenants have suffered under. In my situation there's the usual wear and tear that you would have with Mark and the Destroyer. I've post a couple holes in the walls torn up the rug. The power chair wheels really chew up the rug especially when the turn causing the right to bunch up and eventually tear apart. I couldn't figure this out at first as I notice the rug is being torn from the metal strip where the kitchen and that the living room begins. We've eventually duct taped the floor/rug in place. The big problem besides the rugs and holes in walls is the floor in the bathroom shower. Actually, the showers okay it's the floor around the toilet and the rest of the bathroom. For one the floor is not flat it seems that there's very small rises and depressions and this causes water to stand when water is used outside the shower itself which we do every time we shower. So not only is the floor and even which signifies to me poor workmanship but I think the tile was put on an evenly as well. It's pretty cheap tile and that's okay I am not judging it's just that when you buy cheap things cheap things happen. So with the standing water in the cheap tile which is not really been applied correctly water has seeped under tiles and begin to rot (I don't know if rot is the right tterm) but the tiles are fallen apart and sooner or later going to completely come off the shower. Like a good tenant I have advised management… Kind of. I want to make sure that they folks knew about what was going on so I wouldn't get the total blame. And they did look at the problem and sort of said they would get back with me. I haven't really followed up because I was also sort of made aware that I would not be able to live in my apartment probably while they were working on the bathroom. I just don't know where I would go. And going to need to shower at some point and I don't know if there's anywhere in this apartment complex I could go. I don't know what they would do the house me for the time it would take to repair the problems in the shower. I am perplexed. But that being said,, I have to do something and make management aware again that my bathroom is getting beat up pretty bad and something has gotta get down.

It may not sound very much like I like this place but I do, it's apartment is one the best living places I've ever been in set possibly my house in Murray. The kind of think this may be the last place I live but one never knows. And I guess as long as it looks good on the inside I'll just dodge the dead men's bones
