jose and carlos are panhandlers.
they panhandle in different areas of a southern california town.
carlos panhandles just as long as jose but only collects 2 to 3 dollars every day.
I choose to take that joke in the context that it's a jab at illegal immigration. You can't say anything in this country anymore without being decried as a racist.
Personally, I would be willing to pay hard-earned cash to see an end to all of these illegal squatters who are destroying our economy. Send 'em ALL back from whence they came. Mexicans, Russians, Koreans, WHOMEVER!. If you are in this country illegally, GET OUT. It's not a matter of race, it's a matter of homeland security.
1. the elder i was in a bissness with decided a hand shake was not a contract, and paid me $500 dollars instead of the $3,000 he should have....i felt so stupid, but quit with him and treated him like a disfellowshiped person since....also he would pay me half a days wage when i worked from 8am till 3pm ???????

When I was twelve, after school & during summer breaks, I worked for a old bro in my hall who owned a large landscaping company. My job was to mix concrete & pour it into molds to make these large pagoda-style japanese lanterns that folks put in their gardens & flowerbeds. I not only had to lift & carry these monstrosities, but also had to sandblast them without the proper safety gear. I was paid a whopping $2.00 an hour to do this, and if I spilled or wasted any concrete or other materials, he would take it out of my paycheck. This dude was a notorious tightwad.
He also had a phone in his bathroom next to his toilet and would call me every night to give me my instructions for the next day while he was obviously taking a big ol' noisy dump. The grunting & farting were a dead giveaway.

amazing choir boy - andrew johnston.
Wow! Remarkable! I wonder if he'll still be able to do that when puberty kicks him in the stones.
i was looking in a thrift store and found this gem from 1978. .
quick!
hide it from your children!.
Here we go again.In this tale, Jehovah sends Abraham to kill his son Isaac as a sacrifice, because what is an only son among friends, right? Abraham puts the boy on the altar and as he prepares to make his death stroke, Jehovah says he was just kidding, who would ask his friend to sacrifice his boy? That is, unless the boy needed a blood transfusion, in which case he is to die, DIE, DIE!! So Abraham puts away the knife, which also doubled as a handy circumcision tool, and behold a sheep was caught in some bushes so it got the knife/circumcision tool instead.
Of course, the writers of this tale did not pay really close attention to the fine print, the clause where Abraham had a son prior to Isaac, but we must not let our little chillun' get bogged down in details like, for instance, the facts.
Kurtnote The Koran has Abraham's actual firstborn son Ishmael getting taken to the altar for sacrifice.
"I was just trying to help that sheep out of the bushes". I never knew Abraham was from Wyoming.
when i was a jw i didn't even question that the noah's ark story might not be true.
i didn't realise that it wasn't achievable for a handful of people to gather literally millions of animals - two of each kind - and fit them into a boat where they would all survive for many days.
i didn't think about the fact that if the highest mountain was covered with water then how could plant life like trees and flowers come to exist again, especially so soon after, with the raven grabbing an olive leaf was it?
This was actually the one Bible parable that really got my mind working. I just couldn't wrap my head around that one either. The one thing that really made me wonder was "where did all the water go?" All that fresh water would have diluted the salt water of the oceans, killing pretty much all of the sea life. That's just one example. The inconsistencies are pretty much endless.

bottom right corner.... this is not one of those vids where something jumps out.. sirona.
I really want to see something like that that is authentic, however, something just looks fishy about that one. The old lady looks too solid or something like that. It is a pretty good job though.
i've decided to set my quit date.
.
i might get bitchy.. bfd.
I smoked for 16 years. I finally quit cold turkey in February '06. The first 3 days is the absolute WORST. You will be extremely agitated & emotional. Just plan on it. After the first week, things will begin to mellow. Have lots of chewing gum on hand. I kept a drinking straw that had been cut down to cigarette length in my pocket so that I could have something to hold & flick. I would even "draw" off the straw when things got really bad. After about 3 months, the cravings will subside a bit, but your body will begin to respond in a very positive way. You will have more energy & stamina. You will have dreams that you broke down & started smoking again. This is normal.
I don't really know how I did it. I attribute it to my stubbornness. I simply REFUSED to smoke, no matter how bad it got. Another lesson learned is that I can never, EVER, have another cigarette, not even a puff, or I will be right back where I was with that cruel,cruel monkey on my back. I don't know what your feelings are on pot, but I smoked a lot of that too. Really helped.
Now, 15 months later, I still have the occasional craving, but they are very easily controlled and usually only rear their ugly heads when I've had too much alcohol.
The thing to remember is that every day will be better & easier than the last. That only works though if you stick to your guns. Like I said, NO tobacco whatsoever.
Best of luck to you. This will likely be the hardest thing you've ever done, but you CAN do it. It just takes a tremendous amount of backbone & resolve. Your mind will be your worst enemy as it will try to trick you into making excuses that enable you. Don't reason with yourself too much. Just refuse to smoke, no matter what. Things will get better.
Sincerely,
-Breck

Guns & Roses. Hands down.
