Also pretty sure Jim could hook you up with all kinds of brake cleaner too. When you do spray em, give a shot for me and say: "That's from foot3 for not picking up after your dog." I'll owe ya one.

For some reason, I remember a small line from a book, that I think was in Serpico by Peter Maas.
One of the characters is discussing a police exam and why a particularly stupid officer didn't pass ... Q: What is rabies and what would you do for it? A: Rabies is Jewish Priests and I'd do pretty much anything for them because they're usually good people. Or something like that.

Cellar advice has served us well. When another relative tried to put a curse on Lu, she told us about it here and used the advice to her advantage. She has convinced that woman that she successfully turned the curse back on her and caused her to lose her house and all her possessions in the court case. There is nothing in the world which somebody in The Cellar will not be able to tell you how to handle

As I am writing this, Luisa is taking her national board certification exams. After that she will be an "official" caregiver and can claim to be a professional on her next visa application. That is the good news.
The bad news is that the Philippines, which supplies all these bedpan carriers to the rest of the world, has no jobs for caregivers. So you take the course, get your certificate, and then stay unemployed just like the other 80% of the country unless you want to sign into slavery in the Middle East. To be able to claim that you have job experience, YOU PAY a hospital to work there and then they certify that you have a "job" when the inquiries are made. This is most of the reason why there is no job waiting for you after your graduation from the nursing programs: The hospitals can make money from you instead of having to pay to you
