My cousin is being released from jail. What now? ?

pressure washer mall image

la la

As I'm sure you can assume, being an ex-con he will have a hard time finding a job, and without the means he is unable to leave the area in which he has problems before entering jail. It's as though he is set up to fail; I would really like to know what his options are. He lives in New York City, are there any organizations that can help get a job, and get on his feet? Preferably faith-based (Christian), but if not it's okay.'

Please let me know your thoughts, and suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Start a detail hand car wash service. After doing it at his residence or a friends, or a local business parking lot using a bucket and hose he can Eventually, mount a pressure washer on a trailer and take it mobile. Car dealerships will contract with him to clean all the cars on the lot on a scheduled basis. Clean windows in strip malls. Cut grass for the locals for 20 to 40 dollars. ETC. there is a way for an industrious person. Those looking for a handout, wanting to blame others for their failures; they are not worth helping as they will always find an excuse for you to enable their failure and blame you, others, or government for it.

I'm 27, enrolled full-time in school, i have no job because my folks said they would help me w/ school. Turns out they aren't going to help w/ anything other then letting me sleep in their house. They do however do a lot for my son. Since I had him I've worked Full-Time jobs. But last year I had a nervous breakdown from so many years of emotional and mental abuse. I messed up a relationship w/ a man that really cared about me and my son lived him. I quit my job and started working some dead end in the mall job. It was like I'd gone back to being 17, and I still feel like I'm there, and I can't stand it. My current boyfriend, well ex technically, but not, it's complicating...well he suffers from extreme depression and suicidal tendencies. He just went to a mental hospital for a few days, he's out and ok, but I feel like his family is depending on me for some things, that adds more pressure to things. My parents and I don't get along at all. My dad doesn't have the ability to listen to a question w/out snapping and yelling at you, then saying stuff to make you feel like shit, my mother nags me. "If you cook, you clean!" Even if I make dinner for the house, etc I get to clean all of it, regardless of what kind of day I've had. And it has to be put back in the exact order that it was before. Then there is the fact that I get to do laundry maybe once a week, and 1 load. She is alway using the washer and dryer. Ok I can deal w/ that, but I need to be able to. Then I get the, "well make sure you take all of it out, cause I don't want to deal with it later" bit. My son, is eating more and gaining weight and I'm concerned that he is starting to get depressed and feels rejected. He most likely is. I have 4 classes in school right now and I'm surrounded by 18 yr old kids, most of which laugh at the teacher or don't do their work when required, and the responsibility lands in my lap. I have like a 3.76 gpa, i don't want that to go down cause of some punk ass kids. Then when I confront the teacher about it, then he's like well this is the first go around, the final they won't get credit. I'm like ok, that's good, they are gonna pass the class because you won't knock their grades down cause they lack any form of knowledge in the subject? Are you KIDDING ME? My living quarters is a disaster, I have cloths, trash, cds, magic the gathering cards, comic books, all stacked in a 12X3 walk in closet or so it seems. I want to sell the magic cards and comics to make some money, but I never get around to it. My son, is always like hey mom, check out this blaster...my responses are sometimes ok sure, other times i'm like go occupy yourself I'm in the worst mood. I don't want to take it out on him, so I guess I push him away. I feel like shit, I feel hopeless, and I have no clue what to do. Someone, anyone, please answer and give me thoughts, ideas, anything cause I'm lost and falling deeper and deeper into a place I just don't want to go, despair, extreme depression, and failure.

Looking at ur actions ur words ur feeelings is better than

Fossil fuels? ( Natural Gas && Coal )?

pressure washer mall image

mora.iseni

NaTuRaL fUeLs:
does anyone know anything that contains heating or generating electricity?

CoAl:
does anyone know anyfacts about coal?

Answer
But most people have no idea where their electricity comes from or how it is made. We used to joke about people who thought that milk came from bottles, not cows. Well, electricity is like that today. Here is a story that makes the point:
How important is coal in generating electricity?

Very important. More than half of the electricity in the country is generated using coal. (See the Power Generation Chart below.)

Meet your old friend coal.

Ask somebody "How much coal do you burn?" You're likely to get an answer like this. "A silly question" they will say. "We don't burn coal in our house! People used to burn coal, but they don't anymore."Then you say "Well yes, that's true, but only because somebody burns it for you -- the electric company. Got lights? A fridge? Hot water, a washer, air conditioning? Telephone, TV, VCR, maybe even a computer?" Most likely they'll say "Of course, almost everybody has that stuff."

Now you have them. Just tell them:

Here's why. Almost all electricity is made by spinning a magnet, called a generator. Most generators are powered by high pressure steam blowing through a sort of fan, called a turbine. Coal has always been our primary source of the steam used to make electricity, for several reasons. First and foremost, coal is abundant. It is found all over the country and it is easy to get to. In many places it can be mined right from the surface. In other places the miners go underground to get it. Because coal is abundant and easy to get to, it is very cheap. It is also easy to transport and store, compared to other fuels.

If you look at the Power Generation Chart you can see how we have made our electricity over the last 25 years. Oil and gas also have been burned to make steam, especially gas. They compete with coal primarily in places where coal is not found locally where they become competitive. But in most places oil and gas are more expensive than coal, especially oil. New gas-burning steam power plants are being built today. In addition oil and gas are burned in internal combustion engines to drive electric generators.

Since the 1970s, nuclear energy has become an important source of steam to make electricity, and it is now our second largest source of power. However, nuclear power has become very expensive because of concerns over its safety, so no new plants are being built. Water power can also turn a turbine, without steam, and hydroelectric power plants have always been important. However, they can only be built in special places, and some people object to the dams they require, so no new hydro plants are being built.

We also use a tiny bit of solar power, wind power, geothermal power, and some other stuff. But not enough so far to even show up on the chart.

So it is mostly coal and gas that we depend on for new generating capacity.
"Well it all runs on coal, or mostly coal. Same for the stores, the malls, office buildings and factories -- they all run on electricity, which means they run on coal. True, we also use nuclear power, some gas and oil, even some good old-fashioned water power to make electricity, depending on the electric company. But mostly it's coal, coal and more coal -- one billion tons a year or more. Almost four tons a year for every one of us. Four tons! Even today."

But coal is at a crossroads. We depend on it today, and we desperately need to build more generating capacity. Should we burn more coal or do something else?

Some people say it is too dirty to burn any more and we should stop using it. Some say we can burn it cleaner and should do that. Some say we burn it clean enough now, a whole lot cleaner than we used too, clean enough. Then there is the issue of whether burning so much coal is affecting the earth's climate? And if so, how? There's lots of disagreement about that. (See Coal and Climate Change)

Some want more nuclear power plants instead, but others don't want any. Many people want to burn natural gas instead of coal, but the only extra gas is in places like Texas and Canada, a long way away and very expensive. Some say we should just use less electricity, but that is hard because it is so useful. What to do about coal is a very big question. One we all need to think about. (See Why Not Stop Burning Coal?)

What are your thoughts on this story?

Kayla 5'3 brown hair brown eyes and skinny
Today she is wearing White skinny jeans, a white ruffle cardigan, a white lacy blouse and leapord pink high heels.

Kayla woke up and ate breakfast and was getting reading to spend the whole day having a great time. She excitedly got dressed and put on her favorite white skinnies. She met her friend Brittany and the two 18 year olds drove off to start their day.
They both arrived at the local mall at 9am and got large iced coffees. They quickly drank their drinks and began shopping at different stores and by the time they were done shopping realized it was now 12 o'clock. As they sat down to eat their lunch they both got two 16oz sodas and Brittany said " Kayla I've been holding my pee all morning I'm gonna go to the bathroom before I pee myself ". They both laughed and Kayla said " I only have to go a little bit I'll wait until we get home ". Kayla then said " Hold on a second Britt where'd you get those jeans, the grey color goes really good with that tang top." Brittany said " forever 21 and if you don't stop I'll pee them", she laughed and walked off to the bathroom.

A few minutes later they finished their lunches and sodas and began to drive home. It was now 12:45 and Kayla hadn't peed since this morning. They both went to the car and as they were getting in Brittany jokingly said " don't pee your pants in the car ", Kayla just laughed and they started driving.

5 minutes into the car ride now and Kayla was starting to feel her bladder fill up. She wasn't desperate and was able to sit still but the pressure on her bladder had started to annoy her. She put her hands on her jean clad legs and avoided thinking about running water. 10 minutes past and Kayla's need to pee grew progressively worse. She now had her legs crossed and was afraid that they wouldn't get home in time. A few minutes later Kayla was now shaking and crossing her legs in desperation. She got a nervous look on her face and whispered " um Britt I gotta pee ". Britt just said " I don't have any empty bottles but were 20 minutes from my home I'm sure you'll be fine ". Kayla just sat their with her legs crossed and shaking and then BAM there was a huge traffic jam. Kayla was horrified that she might not make it and said " **** ". Britt just said " don't worry it'll only be 5 minutes ".

10 minutes had passed now and traffic was at a stand still. Kayla was squirming in her jeans and was violently shaking her legs and had her hand in her crotch trying desperately not to wet her jeans. Britt looked nervously at Kayla and said " Kayla you'll make it don't worry and please not in here I bought this car with my own money and I don't want to have to change the seats ". Suddenly a shot of pee escaped and Kayla had a small wet patch on her white jeans. Britt looked back at Kayla and saw her eyes watering up and violently shaking with her hands rammed into her crotch and her legs tightly crossed. Kayla said sadly " Britt another spurt came out the rest isn't to far behind " Britt said " Kayla please anywhere but my car". Kayla then screamed " I'm peeing " Britt yelled " my seats, please Kayla do something hurry ". Kayla threw open the door and jumped out but couldn't get anywhere because the cars were so close together. The pee began coming out like a flood, pee streaks ran down the front of her white skinnies and a massive patch appeared on her butt as she peed for a whole minute straight. People in the traffic jam saw this and were laughing their asses off. Kayla got back in the car and Britt put a towel on her seat and told her " Kayla don't let this get to you when we get to my house I'll let you use my washer and clean yourself up ". She hugged Kayla and they drove to Britt's house and Kayla washed her jeans and showered. When she came out a guy from her school was their. He said "Kayla I always liked you and heard you were gonna be here today because Britt told me. I even saw Britt put your clothes in the washer and knew what happened. But I still wanna ask you out on a date on Saturday night because no matter what happens I wanna be with you. Kayla's horrible day suddenly became great and she screamed with delight and smiled as they hugged. This would be a day she would remember :)
