So he paid up, never again!

I picked one of these Mexican day laborers along Bonanza one day, many years ago, when I was learning Spanish, took him to the nearby Main Street Station for a breakfast buffet and 2 hours of practising Spanish for $10 a hour. No problems.

That would be pretty embarrassing Pink, to have that on your record, sexually propositioning a homeless person in your house for $$.
That's hilarious, and it's something I think would work better if you did it. Even better if dynimage did it.
One thing I will never do is bring someone home to do odd jobs. Definitely don't need to be on the news the next day as a homicide victim. I think that's what most people worry about.

I knew an architect who went thru all that, only to be relegated to designing freeway bridges! I've read so far, that even with a good architectural firm, only 35% of projects make it to completion. And if I can't design something to grace a city skyline, forget it!

I've been appeasing my architectural ambitions with Lego, I've got Lego towers gracing the skyline of my living room, been collecting them since the 70's.
In the past month, I've constructed a 112 story tower and just completed a companion tower of 72 stories. Thank God my living room walls are only 8 feet tall and I don't have two-story atrium!

I've got enough Lego to actually build me a comfy cabin for real!

I had a client one time heavily into Lego, and being he has so much more space in his house, he has one of his bedrooms where a castle takes up much of that bedroom.

Read that label on a box of Lego: 5 years and up. I may be pushing the envelope, still playing with Lego at age 60! Great toys for adults as well!
Post pictures!

You must know there are individuals who go to areas where there's those offering themselves for day work, whether it be Home Depot, Plant Nurseries, Bonanza Road,
who hire these people for other types of "construction work" around their houses.

Like erecting things in their bedrooms.

I once knew a homeless person who hired out for day work along Bonanza
Road and he told me about it, all the times he was solicited for "construction work" in someone's bedroom. Or living room.
