Yes.

I think we pretty clearly determined that brake cleaner was the aerosol of choice in these matters. (I think one of Ashke's friends with the stalking/kidapping father in law thread)

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.

Oh, My. You're brave.

I'm all a-flutter.

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.

Actually it was Luisa and her biological father who was stalking her (as relatives in the Philippines are guaranteed to do if the word gets around that somebody in the family has some money). Now she has several cans of brake cleaner stationed around the house, plus she has her aunt carrying Mace while she mans the stun gun I gave her for Christmas last year. The guy disappeared again, we hope permanently because his story was that his in-laws had thrown him out of the house and were hunting for him. Word of their arsenal seems to have spread, and the only confrontation has been when Lu had to arc the stunner at a mentally-disturbed intruder who was trying to climb over their fence.

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
