Went to an "Underground" meeting.  It's for parents/guardians of the day care The PR was in.  They let me come because it's my intention that she'll go back there eventually and I need to be aware of things.  Like why the top 2 employees were let go the same day, etc.

Watch it, dude. Queen Victoria has "Secrets" to protect. Learn this.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Haven't done much yet. It's morning and I'm only on my second cup of coffee.

The group is a small (less than 10) group of folk who have family or wards at Magnolia Community Services.  MCS has both a day program and residences.  Since we can't accurately rely on what the "kids" tell us or don't tell us, the group shares what we have found out. They have kindly allowed me to be a part of the group. 

While MCS is far from perfect (underpaid staff, silly rules, not following all the rules, etc.) it has the reputation of being the best in Louisiana and one of the better ones in the USA (word of mouth on this last claim.) 

The PR wasn't as happy as she thought she should have been there, so she refused to go any more.  But last night she told me she was thinking about going back because "We need our space from each other."

I'm looking to have The PR return to the day program when her behaviour and problems get better (within 3 to 6 months hopefully) and have her in residence sometime in 2021.  I'll be 71/72 by then and need her to have a support system in place before my eventual death.

I never realised you were as old as you were!  I thought it was all fairly young people!

I can still boobs2 but not too often since I give myself black eyes.

I think we have at least a couple of members over 50.

You shouldn't blame yourself for female violence.  You've done nothing to deserve that.  ;)

I am in my early fifties. So is Odeon I believe. Pappy figures that you're only as old as the woman you feel, which would make him about 13.

Went to the bank and turned in fifty one rolls of "useless" half dollars. I am telling you guys, this shit works!
I did not get through the entire stack of one hundred rolls of US half dollars this weekend, but going through seventy rolls, I struck silver.
I have been doing this since the eighties, but only recently understood that you have to challenge the bank by buying MANY rolls of coins to find anything, these days.

I gleaned a sizable amount of silver, though. I still have thirty rolls to bust open. The farther down into the stack I go, the older the rolls seem to be. I had one dated '83. Those seem to be very productive.

Spot price of silver has gone down, sadly, in the past two months - since the last time I did this. I plan to sit on nineteen rolls for a bit, until the price peaks up again.

So, I invested a bit of my time (I was actually slow-smoking a huge ham while I had the dining table scattered with filthy coins ) and one thousand dollars. I am not done yet, but so far I found 121 - 40% silver and 69 - 90% silver coins. 
I do a quick bit of arithmetic, using (my computer calculator app and) today's spot price of silver and I have kept just under nineteen rolls of silver (one hundred ninety dollars) and today's spot price will pay about six hundred forty bucks at a silver broker.

This shit works guys, but you have to make the bank work. Buy a large quantity of coin at once and make them dig to meet your order. I know we used to be able to buy three or four rolls and find a silver coin in every roll, but everyone else has already done this. Make the bank work!

Two hundred per cent profit on a three day investment is something EVERY drug dealer would love to do.
