So yeah... to address the elephant in the room...

I am losing my home. It's nothing I have done, the owner wants to be a greedy asshole and renovate the place and rent it out for more money. In the meantime, I have to leave.

I am trying to find a place to live, but it just isn't working out. So for awhile I am probably going to go away. If I do wind up being homeless, I am likely going to die. Wanted to make sure my friends knew this. It is what it is.

Being from Scandinavia my first instinct is that there has to be some social safety net to protect you, but where I am now I know the world doesn't work like that.


Shit.

Being a garden gnome was a real job in Victorian times. As a poor and short person you could if you were "lucky" retire as a garden gnome and live in a cottage in some rich familys back yard and have their kids throw rocks at you and shit. In some contracts the gnomes weren't allowed to cut their fingernails, hair or beards for the remainder of their lives.
It's not even very long ago.

Yes, the last couple of nights have been a bit of a struggle and I'm sure it's just nervous tension. I still nod off a bit in the afternoon though so that helps. Won't be long now.....I have to phone in tomorrow to get an arrival time for Wednesday. Best case scenario would be one night in hospital but the norm is two, so should be home by Friday.

Yup... even if you are looking forward to getting it done...you still gonna be nervous....... we'll be thinking about you....

In the lower classes kids could start working as chimney sweepers when they were 4 years old.
The best thing that could happen to a kid was being adopted. Pulled from the streets. Pregnancies was so dangerous that rich people often didn't do it, they just picked a kid from the street and gave the child a chance. If it wasn't good enough however they just kicked it back out in the streets.

When hubbys mother was 11 years old she was sent from her home to the Big..rich house..as a maid.

Her job was to be up at 6am every morning to light the fires before everyone got up...and ironing.

She was one of 18 pregnancies her mother had...14 survived...no birth control then........she was born 1918...1929 she went into Service..
so...less than a century ago..


Can you imagine sending your kids away to work full time when they were 11 years old....?.....

I got it for wanting to use my left hand then again for being messy with my right. How does a ruler on the back of a hand improve dexterity?

Studies show that corporal punishment decreases general intelligence. Could explain a few things....(me not you)

All it accomplished was youthful angry rebellion. We can both attest to that.

Thank the universe for giving us weed to help us deal with that then put it to an end.

The corporal punishment in the Catholic School I went to had three levels; rulers - painful but not serious, pointers across the back of the hand was really painful and then, Sister Borgias' paddle. She was the principal and it was used on your bare ass, only once though. It taught me not to be good - just don't ever get caught again. My brother and I were never caught doing anything wrong at school after I got the paddle. It really hurt for days but even more than the physical was the embarrassment of being naked in that office in front of that witch. I snuck off campus the very next week and many many times after that but was never caught again. I liked cheeseburgers for lunch and often ate at the burger place for lunch. I also used to get chocolate Hostess pies at the corner grocery. I don't know about my general inelegance being lower, my devious cunning improved greatly. After 8th grade I went to public schools, I was light years ahead of all of the public students in how to get away with shit. I also was light years ahead in my general education as well. High school was a cake walk because we already had learned most of the curriculum in the private school. The curriculum was so misguided, In 8th grade we finished algebra II and were moving into calculus. At high school they made me start with geometry 1, 2 then algebra 1, 2 it was a colossal waste of time.

Moral of the story - Don't get caught.

Good morfnoevight all!
