Manners are a matter of training, not money, and an increasing number of people who have the latter disdain the former as ‘plebian’ or ‘beneath them’. All you have to do is look at the headlines in any tabloid magazine to understand that ‘upper class’ and ‘classy’ are pretty much a contradiction in terms any more. We can thank the Hippies for this. Most of them were from wealthy families, and figured by rejecting anything resembling civilized behavior they were rejecting ‘the man’. Once they (titularly) grew up and had lifestyle accessories -er, children- of their own, they raised little Miffy and Dunstan the same way, so now ‘upper class’ and ‘crude, narcissistic asshole’ are equivalent terms. Sad, really.

Even in the absence of a sexual motive, she’s fostering an unhealthy attachment in him at an age when he should be developing his independence. She has to let him sleep in his own bed, and she in hers, PERIOD. If she won’t agree to this, it might be time to get the authorities involved, even though I’m usually against that sort of thing.

If you like kids a lot, baby sitting is a good way to start. If you like reading, apply at bookstores. There’s always the old ‘fast food’ standby, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you like stinking of stale grease. Music stores are another option, and so are clothing stores like ‘Rave’ or ‘Deb’. If you are into that sort of cultish atmosphere, you could apply at a Starbucks, or if you want to work a coffee shop without the Amway mentality, there are probably other local venues you could check out.

That said, keep looking, and try among the younger chiropractors. My chiropractor finished his training and went into practice about 7 years ago, and he would dearly love to find a licensed massage therapist to come work with him.

This happens more and more these days, as college education is dumbed further and further down to ensure idiots who should never have been admitted in the first place still graduate, and the expectation is that anyone in a management position must, by definition, have at least a bachelor’s degree.

Go for it. There’s nothing more entertaining than watching a PC-Stasi’s head explode.

It seems not a week goes by that some local t.v. station’s investigative team does an expose’ on some person or group of people who are gaming the system by pretending to be disabled, and sadly, it all adds up.

Could you POSSIBLY be more ignorant? (The sad part is your claim to have had more than four years of college…).

First off, all blind people were not born that way, and second, racism isn’t an issue of ‘seeing colors’, it’s an issue of internal attitudes and stereotypes, and those come from a combination of upbringing, life experience, with whom one associates, and personal beliefs.

That said, most humans still manage to suppress the urge, so if you are having that much trouble, you should probably seek some professional counseling to figure out exactly WHY, if your life is so perfect, you actively look for opportunities to wreck your marriage. Your other options are to explore polyamorism, (but the missus has to be on board with that one as well); or to introduce some roleplaying into your sex life.

(Libraries, book stores, supermarkets, etc.). I suspect your success rate will increase exponentially. 5) If all else fails, try vacationing in the U.S., where your accent will be as honey to flies. 😉
