We have folks who go through the trash and recycle bins to get Al cans and bottles that have deposits.

We also have the junk men who drive around an go through on heavy trash day and get anything they can sell to scrap metal places. We also have the architecture salvage folks who dumpster dive at renovation sites.

Most of them are meth heads or heroin addicts out here. Once in a while you see a retiree out making extra bux.

I pictured some unknown character from American Pickers LOL.

You are right. The junk lady does what she calls “junking”. She asked permission and I set my 3 cans away from the street so no one else will stop and go through them and she stops by the day before the garbage truck comes by and gets stuff out. She also goes to dog and goat breeders and buys and then sells puppies and baby goats to people and delivers them. She cannot read or write and only went to the second grade. She has more common sense than 90% of the people around here. Like a lot of Kentuckians, she has Native American ancestry. She is not a junkie, but her husband is in “stirr” (jail) for drugs.

Out here in Cali pretty much everything is redeemable. Every 3 mos or so I take all our recyclables in. Usually get anywhere between 60 and 100 bux.

I prolly seem super cynical, but because I work at the jail all the addicts and I are on a first name basis. LOL

Last time I went, there was a meth head there who recognized me, made sure he was a good 30 yards away on his bike while I was in line waiting and started screaming obscenities at me LOL. He definitely recognized me, but I think he had me confused as correctional staff. The guy in line with me said "Dang! What was that about?!" I just told him "He recognized me from jail" LOL

Speaking of Jail...I wonder how LBGood is doing

Well , yesterday morning I woke up and could barely move ! Every joint in my body felt like they'd been nailed together with framing nails ! I hurt so bad and just couldn't move or bend. It was an awful day ! Called my doc and she phoned in a script for a steroid and after just 1 days dose I feel 100 times better ! I can move and bend , not pain free but way better than yesterday. So a week of steroids at full strength and then a week of 2/3rds dose, a week of 1/3 and we'll see where I'm at !Keeping my fingers crossed , at least for a couple seconds , any longer hurt right now ! LOL
Hope everyone is doing better than me ! Laters !

[wardancer]

Oh yeah , we're going to build a big jello pit out behind the Redhorse ! There's gonna be a wrestling match between Subeeds and Gilisi to see who gets to eat the frybread ! I think we should sell tickets , what do you all think ?
And should we allow any other entries ?

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah, that will be a very interesting wrestling match.

We need enough seats, spaced 1,5m apart and the second row a bit higher than the first row. Like an amphitheatre.

We shall sell tickets and try to get as many speactators as possible in the situation. Redhorse can need that and we may have further use for it.

@WD I cross fingers light a candle. Can't sprinkle holy water cause I don't get any real holy water anywhere in this Corona times. The holy water absins are all Corona dried out.

[gilisi]

My woman already told me I ain't allowed to wrestle no other women but her....

Besides,Holy water burns my skin.

I'm not sure how many more online orders I can walk my mother through. It is one thing to help her with her computer when I'm there. It is another from 1700 miles away.

We have a vocabulary gap. If my mother isn't interested in something, she will ignore all information and instruction. She's isn't interested in being able to communicate with me about what is on her computer screen. I tell her to go to the main menu and she says she doesn't have one. So, I tell her to go to gray bar at the top of the screen. She then says that that is not a menu because menus are for restaurants. She makes up her own terms, which are not reproducible. It took me 5 mins to figure out that a "hoochie-jigger" was the drop down menu for the grocery cart. Last time it was Safari.

Five big box store orders since this has started and she has never managed to check out. Come time to check out it all falls apart. I end up checking her out with my credit card, since she is afraid someone is listening on the phone and will get her credit card number.

It took 2 hours out of the middle my work day for her to buy 15 items. Then it took me another 20 mins to buy the things that were out of stock from Amazon. Hopefully we're good until Sept, LOL.

We should install some sort of cooling and heating system depending on the wether to use. LOL, I can invite you to make the experience of a top floor with dormer window.

Same with my class room on the sun side of the building 08:00 to 18.0 hours.

With mother you give me the feeling of some sort of deja-vu in general.

@gilisi, there is holy water for the outer application and the other holy water for the inner application. Confusionb the one for the other may result in either skin burns or throat burns.

You can enhance this holy water with medical ethanol. Other holy water is "Bockbier"; approved by the Pabst in medival times. LOL, it tasted awfully afer three month of travel in summer across the alps form Bavaria to Rom.

For example:

There are other sorts of "Bockbier" which are even stronegr but this one is suffcient for most. No more than two of them are necessary for most.
