Oh, didn't you claim last week you're "financially secure"? In December
you blamed not finding a job on the holidays. And in another thread you
said you can't find a job NOW because of Covid. (You sure didn't step
up when the pandemic started and hospitals were in dire need of nurses.)

And "tomorrow" has just closed for today. Did they let you choose
from a dozen or so new pediatric pitienst, or did you just let
choose one for you?

Go donate plasma, you shithead. Since I had some down time over the
holidays, I'm traveling 6+ hours (on a GOOD day) to get those "New
Donor bonuses" ($150 x 8 donations) at a new plasma collection
company across town twice a week. You can get to the same company in
only 15 mintutes (CSL Plasma on New Halls Ferry). That's $100/hour
for you, 3 hours a week (2 donations @ 1.5/hours including travel
time).

But you'd rather stay home and do absolutely nothing but spend money
on dope (supposedly - I'm doubting that) and your boner pills.

In the first decade of the twentieth century, the new entertainment medium of motion pictures exploded in the tastebuds of
an eager public, a visual gelato for a nickel an hour to take them away from the pressures of their lives.

The first cinemas were little more than converted storefronts; a screen or a sheet tacked to the wall at one end and
a projector at the other, with scattered seats in between and no toilets.

There were reports that some patrons became so transfixed by the projected images that they remained in their seats
and relieved themselves on the floor, rather than go out to a public toilet.

Often there was only one exit, which exacerbated another potential health hazard. 35 MM film was made of cellulose nitrate, which
was highly inflammable. If the film jammed in the projector gate, the heat from the projector’s beam could cause it to catch
fire within seconds and burn for hours. In 1897 a nitrate fire at a Paris venue killed 140 patrons.

Yet teh 24KWH battery should get you 80-100. And you've run out of

Which is more than half of his bank account right now.

By the time his Leaf battery dies, he won't have enough cash left to
get a new one fitted. RIP Leaf.

Which is why he still keeps gas-guzzler "Baby", of course.

When he crashes Baby he'll be begging a discarded wreck from Trewly

A quick Google says:

Presumably the later the model Leaf, the greater the range has
increased. But 70 miles suggests John's battery is slowly failing. We
went into town yesterday and had we used John's Leaf, we would have
barely made it, let alone return home.

Many other brands of EVs have much better range, though.

I didn't see his claim, but wasn't his claim of $10K over 2 months
ago? That was $640 worth of prostaglandin ago. Plus the weed, the
personal property taxes, the exterminator, the upcoming real
property taxes ($4,200), utilities during winter, all those beans
and rice, asparagus in the off season...

I have not been keeping track very closely but it seems to me that it
was a little more than a year ago that he talked about his first
pedophile nursing gig with an agency. Since that time there have been a
number of different agencies he has signed on with and at least a dozen
assignments he has been referred to and a total of 4 or 5 days of work.

He's qualified. He did that for years, and was very good at it.
His only other viable choices are Social Security, a lower paid,
less skilled job, or suicide. I figure that he'll blow off this
opportunity and have to start taking Social Security. As much

Several months ago he snagged a juvenile nursing job for about
2 weeks or so. The kid had a stuffed (small?) teddy bear and
they'd play a game of tossing the bear into a basket. This game
kept both of them entertained for hours.

That's been the extent of his employment for the last 12 months.
But there's always a job "in the next few days/next week" that never
comes to fruition.

Nothing wrong with that. Did you expect him to read Shakespeare with
the child?

Some people need to watch movies, some need to play computer games,
some need to go bungee jumping and some need to throw a bear in a
basket. RFC needs to be an inclusive newsgroup.

Bryan thinks he's found a job for John and because Bryan finds himself
incredibly important, he can't imagine that John doesn't "jump at

$14/hr for making donuts... Honestly, if it were right in town, I'd be
seriously tempted myself. There is a donut shop in walking distance of
my house, but they seem to only hire family. My only trouble is working
weekends. I had to turn down a ton of part time jobs for that requirement.

I didn't find it for him. No doubt he'd already see it. What I did
was call attention to it so that everyone here can see if John

I used to take my son over to Pearl City every day. That was around 16 miles. A round trip would be about 32 miles. An electric car would have worked out just spiffy - even if it only had a 70 mile range.

Celluloid is some pretty wonderful stuff. It was originally used as a replacement for ivory billiard balls but was also used for a replacement for ivory on piano keys. The uses of celluloid exploded during the late 19th century as it was used in new fangled, brightly colored, plastic jewelry, and film stock. Celluloid guitar picks are awesome collectors items. To test for celluloid, you shave off a little be to see if it ignites. Therein lie the problem with celluloid - it's too flammable for modern times.

Yes, it was tossing around a stuffed teddy bear rather than a ball. It
was not a sexual innuendo as much as Brian may try to insinuate. John
called it playing "Basketbear". Along with babysitting this kid I think
he sometimes served him lunch. It didn't last long and there were many
confusing stories about why the employment ended. The family lost their
government health benefits. No, wait, the kid was going to start
school. Then GRANNY was going to call him for after shool. Never happened.
