Get moving at real estate agents. I trust.com. You're listening. to the Jeff Fisher show. I think I need your help. I was sent an email from someone, and I am serious. When I say, I was like, what? And it was just a matter of fact.

And I can't, I can't, I can't get it out of my head. And it's just completely thrown me for a loop. Now, I've got In fact, I've got these other stories in front of me, and I've got to tell you about this because I can't stop thinking about it. So we've been having issues with, my fences are down at the house. There's one side of the fence that's down between myself and another neighbor, and then there's another part.

I don't know if you know this, but North Texas is like the wind capital of the universe. and, you know, wind comes, and when they built these homes, they built them with, you know, builder-grade fences. So, you know, after a number of years, in so many years, the wind is just torn them down. And they, you need fences put in correctly. And with some sort of, I don't know, worthy wood and worthy poles.

Anyway, so we've been having a, you know, this deal with who's going to pay, how much are we paying, who belongs to what, what belongs to what. And it's not knocked down, drag out, it's just that's what we're doing. And so I hadn't seen my neighbor in, I don't know, a week or so. And we know, we're all in and out all the time. And it's, look, it's here right now in Texas. Yesterday, the high at DFW was 107. Okay. So it's like the surface of the sun here in North Texas right now, outside.

And so it's almost like winter up north, for those of you to understand. So that you don't go outside unless you have to. Okay. So, you know, the kids are stay inside. You know, you drive through the neighborhoods. And it's like I was driving, I was driving through the neighborhood the other day. It's in the middle of the afternoon. There is nobody.

I mean, it's like winter. And that's why, because it's the surface of the sun outside. You can't swim because the water is boiling. In fact, this area is the only area I know of, and I lived in Florida for a long time. This area is the only place I know of that you can have giant ice cubes delivered to your home to put in the pool to cool to cool it down. so that you at least can stop the boiling of the pool water so you can swim. And it's amazing. So anyway, I email my neighbor last night.

And I see the boy. It's actually really sad because I don't know what I got to think about how I got to handle it. And I know the little, the kid, you know, the kid next door. and, you know, the husband, I see him from time and he's out and I see the wife from time to time. And she's the one, the wife is, she's the one that I have the email address for. And since I hadn't seen them, I thought I would email them and let them know, you know, what the progress is on my part of the fencing, what's going on, insurance, all that stuff. And so I get an email back. And it's nice.

she thanks me kind of lets me know what they're doing what's going on and then in the email my oldest son Elvis is moving and has moved to Texas now

from Florida and in the process of his move we are dog sitting all right so and he's got two dogs which is a completely other story

my wife fought for you keep the dogs we keep the baby that didn't work so We're dogs saying. My kids love them. The dogs are fine.

There's some dogs in the neighborhood, especially the ones right behind us, that are, you know, will kill you just as soon as look at you. There's one dog, a little mini chihuahua or whatever, that thinks it will kill you. And that dog is going to disappear one day. They're just going to say, I wonder what happened to the dog's name is blue.

I wonder what happened to blue? I don't know. You mean it's gone? Maybe that's why I haven't heard it, barking all hours of the day and night and digging holes underneath the fence to get in my backyard. Do you mean it's gone? It's disappeared. Darn the luck. That very well may happen soon.

So in my email, I say, hey, I just want to let you know, too, we're dog sitting. And, you know, you might have seen the dogs out because the fence, you know, the one part of the fence is down. Don't worry about it. You know the one dog and the other dog. is new but they're both great and you don't have to worry about them being you know being mean or whatever they're playful they want to play and they just you know maybe we'll you know I'll make sure that when I see you out I let the dogs out so that they you know at least know you and the reply the reply I mean I don't know what to do

with it so it was very nice and she you know tells me thanks when I Let me know what's going on. Yeah, we've got to meet the dogs, and that's great. And in the email, she says, well, we can't, we can meet the dogs on Sunday because, insert husband's name, is moving out tomorrow. It will be crazy around here. What am I supposed to do with that? I was floored.

I know. I mean, it's been in songs for, you know, a million years. And I've been through a divorce before. It ain't fun. But the little, you know, he's got the little boy. And he's a good kid. And he's, I don't know what to do with it. Am I supposed to, you know, oh, great.

Well, that's good for you, huh? Or that bastard. Thank God he's gone. Why am I supposed to do with that? I was just, I was like, I did reply. I don't know what the, I mean, I can't be happy. I can't be sad. Either way I go, I'm screwed.

So there's just no reply to that, bad boy at all. And if I reply, it ain't referring to that. That's going to be a disappearing line from the email. But if, I mean, I just threw me last night and I was, I, and I don't know why. it threw me, right? I mean, look, every time I turn around the last five or six months, I hear my wife say, I can't believe they're getting a divorce and another couple are breaking up. Or they've been separated for a few months. I think they're getting back together now.

Okay. I don't know these, don't, I know these people from scouting. I know these people from the church. I know these people from work. I know these people from whatever. I mean, I don't, they're friends with my wife. I don't want to be friends with them, okay? My wife wants friends. I don't care. But that having been said, I mean, maybe people don't want to be my friend.

I don't know. But I don't know why it threw me for a loop. Anyway, it just did. And I can't stop thinking about it. And I, you know, I don't want, you know, look, if you're listening, I've been through a divorce. and it sucks. It's not fun.

But I know a lot of people that have been through a lot worse divorces than I went through. And it was less fun than my no fun. I know people that are still dealing with a divorce that happened a years ago because it was not fun. So, I mean, I know how bad it is. I got it. But, I mean, I don't know what I'd do. I mean, if he's, if I pull up today, right? I come home and he's got the U-Haul out.

So getting rid of the old ball and chain today, are we? I mean, I don't think that would go over well. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher show, the Blaze Radio Network.
