another unpopular opinion
I have often thought that young people should do compulsory national service in all countries - not military service necessarily, but some kind of service, for one or two years. And an area where they could make a massive difference, is aged care. Even if all you do is work in the kitchen, it eases the burden on the staff, who are already stretched far too thin. if you spend two years mopping hospital hallways or building roads or training to be a volunteer firefighter or something, it all helps. And it prepares you for the rest of your life, to know what ageing looks like, or what sickness and death look like, or what emergencies look like. Sort of puts everything in perspective. |

yes, definitely
as Lucille Bluth as that quote is...in India I think it might actually be true. Human labour is sadly very cheap there, from what I understand. Average salary is 7000 rupees a month, or around $100 USD. Given that local disposable diaper production is a pretty recent thing in India and most had to be imported, I think it is pretty true that until very recently in India, if you were buying disposable diapers, you probably also had a maid. |

the jail was pretty bad. i was intake trustee for two months. we worked from 4 am to 7 pm, seven days a week. a lot of it was sitting around waiting for orders, but when we did work it was intense. we would have to clean cells fast in between inmates getting sent out and new ones coming it. i dealt with all kinds of stuff: urine, blood, shit, vomit, blood in vomit, other unmentionable fluids. the worst was cleaning the drunk tank and the med tanks. the drunk tank was the biggest cell, crammed full of new arrested fools. the med tank was where the worst drug cases would detox. it had this drain in the middle of the floor with a grating over the foulest slime/sludge pit imaginable. once it clogged up and i had to get down over it and insert this drain drill thingy with my hands. almost retched. i misspoke when i said the tanks were the worst. the human wrecks were the worst. good times. |

Hey Tooth, do you watch any jail shows like Lockup or that one that was filming people coming in to jail right after being arrested? Or are you more like "not 'avin' it mate, been there, don't need to see it"?

Though After the rest home and cleaning up after my children, I have been reluctant to get a dog. My 9 year old would love a dog but I know it’s going to be me that walks it and picks up its shit, the most. And you know, I Guess I’m just taking a breather from that lifestyle right now |

the place here is called PAWS but I can't imagine something like that wouldn't exist in Houston; it would be worth a look. It would give your kid a chance to either prove herself or realize she didn't want to do the work. |

But dogs man. You can't get a dog and just let them live outside like rabbits and chickens. Dogs have to be part of the family. Until i'm ready for some mangy mongrel to sleep on my bed every night, leaving drool and fur and dog smell all over my covers, and then age disgracefully for the last year of its life while I put all of my travel plans on hold so I can hand feed it the arthritis medication, I figure I'm not ready for a dog. I'm getting there....just not there, yet. The other thing is...that we all really enjoy having chickens, and chickens and dogs don't usually make friends with each other. So it'll be 10+ years of not having hens. And instead of a low maintenance, fertiliser and food producing animal...we'll just have this freeloading, dribbling, scratching, chewing nuisance extra family member...I mean that's a hard trade off, even though I know that it'll end up being my dog and I'll probably be the most pathetic doting dog owner. Extra hour of kitchen work time, preparing organic dog food from scratch: check |

d i would rather not be reminded of jail. i tried writing a little about it and it was too depressing.
y s e m seems to have a boomerang with my name written on it lodged deep in her rectal cavity. and she's dumb as a dingbat. who lies about being an inmate worker? its pretty much the most detestable position to hold in jail, the equivalent of being a full time snitch. |

yeah it's bad. the worst was the first two months, doing nothing, not knowing what will happen to you. after I got sentenced and got put on trustee it was tough but at least not maddening.
and btw the way i learned darcy had been in the same jail was from another trustee, a kitchen worker. laundry (where i got promoted to after intake) was right next to the kitchen so i helped out when they were understaffed. this dude starts talking about "the smashing pumpkins bassist" out of the blue. i was like woah. |
