At first, you were working 12-hour shifts for 3 days on and 4 days off. Now
you're down to 2 days a week and about 4 hours per day. You can't learn all
the new-fangled charting so they've sent you to another nursing home with
even fewer hours than before?
Can't find a part-time job anywhere else on those days off? I'd suggest
being a checker at the grocery store, but that would involve running a
cash register. Maybe you can hire on as a stocker or as a grocery bagger.
See if Burger King or Taco Bell or Dominos pizza is hiring.

what I paid for an entire private apartment in 1982. I'm talking
hardwood floors throughout, a walk-in butler's pantry, bedroom with
french doors, nice kitchen, a bathroom with a lovely pedestal sink and
clawfoot tub.
He's asking $250 for a bedroom. Shared bathroom. And oh dear, they
have to put up with the nutty live-in landlord who wants to be their
best friend, too.

Originally JK was letting rooms to four "housemates", but as they
departed it became harder to find new tenants; even though he had
reduced the rent. Now he's down to two tenants paying reduced rent.
Worse, the common bills that were shared between five, are now shred
between three. And years of unpaid tax have finally caught up with him.
His income shrunk as his outgoings rose. Result, misery, as Mr

very posh neigbohood just north of the zoo. It was actually $60/mo
but in CA one paid $5 extra for a stove, or buy your own, I didn't
want to buy a stove I'd likely have to move in about a year. Living
in CA was dirt cheap in the '60s. I was working for Hugh's Aircraft
then, making tooling for helicopters, and was paid almost four times
what I could earn in NY. Gasolene was 9в-11в a gallon depending on
which gasateria. Eating at restaurants was very cheap for excellent
food... and was real Mexican food, not the crappy Tex Mex they push at
Taco Bell. At that time San Diego was literally a slum, a navy town
with lots of bars and tattoo parlors.

Many places were dirt cheap in the early 1960's like the Haight Ashbury in SF, when the Hippies/Diggers moved in.

We corresponded via email in the last few years of his life. He suffered
from agorophobia and really didn't want to make public appearances. He
was first featured with the Mama's and the Papa's (with Michelle
Phillips, John Phillips, Mama Cass). John and Michelle's daughter,
McKenzie Phillips, was named after Scott McKenzie.
Kuthe wants to pretend he's a "hippy" but he was just a kid then. 1967
or 68. I know he wasn't old enough to be tuned into the Haight Ashbury

friend, Cheap Bob, had some money saved up and mediocre inheritance and
set off to find a cheap place to live. He ended up in Parrsborugh NS.
Where he bought a house that had been on the market for about 4 years.
The asking price had been $95,000 and he got it for $68,000. He kept
carrying on about the great deal he had got, a $95,000 house of $68,000.
I told him the house was worth $68,000 . I tried to explain that it
doesn't matter what the asking price had been because no one would pay
that. They did manage to sell it for $68K, so that is what it was worth.

quickly changes. I lived for a year with 3 army fellows.
They kicked out their old 4th roommate and I came in as
a total stranger.
My girlfriend was a good friend with another girl that
was dating one of them. They ended up getting married too.
In that next year, we all became good friends and one of
them, my best friend. It's not all that weird as you seem
to think.

Woosh, Gary. You're comparing apples and oranges.
Owning a property is nothing like renting one. You and your army
fellows were all on the same footing, tenants paying rent; none of you
had any capital interest in the property.
That's different from Kuthe and his housemates. He owns the property,
they don't. They pay rent, he doesn't. They can't throw him out; he can
throw them out. If the roof leaks, tenants will moan to the LL but he
alone is responsible for the repair and the cost.

often accuses me of trimming posts to suit my needs.
Doesn't matter who owns the house. I'm talking about "strangers"
living together in shared housing. Some here often jump on
John for living with "strangers."
My point is that, yes, you start out as strangers but that
quickly ends. It becomes a family unit fairly quickly.
I got along fine with my house mates as John probably does too.
Just that simple... not living with strangers.

He doesn't understand the word "retire". If he just means quit working
and start collecting Social Security, he can do that at age 62. Of
course he won't get much per month because apparently he hasn't worked
most of his adult life. Seems like a "professional student". Meaning,
never actually did much but kept going to school.
He got a nursing degree (censure, lost job). Got a computer degree in
yester-year. Didn't make a living at it but hey, he can put purple
stickers from a record shop all over his keyboard tray.
He lived in a house with students renting from the evil Chinese
landlord. He was the oldest guy in the bunch. Probably on an allowance
by his father before he died. Father dies, Sister has control. He
bought the same damn house from the Cheap Chinese Landlord (remember the
rants about Chinese Landlord and China everything??!) to rent to
students. Indian students. He's not stuck in a rut, nooo...
He's playing catch-up now, trying to rack up work credits so he'll
actually have some money when he "retires". Those "best housemates"
don't give a rip about what happens to him when he's 62, 65, 67.
The government does keep track of these things, dontcha know. He
apparently let his taxes slide for for years. He was surprised he had
to pay property taxes. He was surprised he had to get Occupancy
Permits. House inspections. Homeowners insurance. Repairs. Surprise!
Maybe he thought paying a djembe and having a bunch of Indian housemates
would render him invisible. Or he's simply ignorant, just thought all
that money was free and the house would pay for itself. Funny how
things don't work out that way.

working since I was a teenager. I've had jobs even after I inherited
this house. H&R Block as a receptionist, twice. Worked doing data
entry and basic bookkeeping at a local tire shop. I'm still looking for
work. I don't consider myself retired. This is a very small town area
and there just isn't that much out there, especially not in the middle
of a pandemic.
You know *why* Mom left me the house. My brothers didn't lift a finger
to help, they just sat back waiting to collect.
Did Kuthe help take care of his father before he died? Never heard a
word about that, but oh, he's a NURSE! At least his dad was smart
enough to have his sister control the flow of money.
BTW, my brothers each got 1/3 of all the money and everything out of the
house they asked for. My middle brother pitched a fit when he found out
even if I sold the house he wasn't entitled to a third of the proceeds.
He called Mom's lawyer and threatened to contest the Will. Her lawyer
told him go right ahead! Waste your money, it won't be cheap, and he'd
testify in court on my behalf it was Mom's expressed intent to leave me
the house. My middle brother is nothing but a greedy asshole. I
haven't spoken to him since. Good riddance.
My oldest brother blew through the significant amount of money he
inherited with the help of his girlfriend. Then she had the nerve to
call me when he got sick and told me it was my responsibility to come
there and help her take care of him. That would be a big NO.

I do not believe that Steve is lying or exaggerating. Given just from
what he says that his life story involves his wife killing a good friend
of his, I certainly do not expect the more personal details. I'm sure he
will tell us whatever he wants when he feels up to it.
I also do not feel that he will run & hide. I'm fairly certain he will
beef up his personal security and make a stand on home turf instead.
I do not see his recent posts about his wife's imminent release from
prison as seeking attention. It is rather just frankly telling everyone
else here that all their whining about whatever is really childish when
compared to someone who faces a truly serious problem.
Nothing like this has ever happened to anyone I know. I presume Steve is
coordinating with his local police. I wish I had better advice.

Give the French a break. It’s not them, it’s their language. Au jus!

French wines are the best in the world. French cheeses are the best in
the world. Sheldon is a barbarian. French food is the best food in
Europe. Sheldon cooks nursing home food. Italian food is French food
for dummies. French girls might have been able to turn the young
Sheldon into a straight guy.
One thing: I get the impression that the French aren't very keen on
Americans and are generally nicer to people who speak French.
