Mother in basement with paraffin, right around this time. Always some project, think I get my craft inclination from her. Home from school & all these candles, both sides of walk-way out to street. I don't know if she dyed the paper, but candles in…

Oh, I didn't know what a memory stick was. Duh. If acknowledged, it should show as a drive in "My Computer" area. I'd think you could copy & paste file there, that's how I backup to disk.

Factory life

They've been bringing in cons on
work release for cheap labor.
It started with Frank, two
years ago.
I remember the day Frank

Dishwasher

I was 15. You were supposed to be at least 16 so I said I was 16. Gary, the middle aged manager, walked me to my station.

He is at his desk thinking about things. His arms are a little shaky. This seems to happen after cutting the lawn with a weedwhacker. Small city lawn. Last bit of line broke half-way through. He drove to local hardware store for new spindle after cleaning lawn guts from his glasses & hair. He did not swear or get upset, just drove there, with the piece from the bottom. He asked someone. They were helpful.
"Oh, you don't need a new spindle, just the line?" the person said.

I kept in touch with them for a pretty long while, but last I heard Ana was pretty sick and this has been several years ago. So I really have no idea. I'd like to be able to get in touch with them though.
