Despair, saddness, heartache, what is going to come about in my life

paco — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 00:41:44 +0000

My story begins back in September of 2007. I was going to college where I was viewed as a loner or a person that stayed to himself. What happened next, followed harassment by my dorm room of college kids my own age (Eventually a guard would be put below my window). I left the college, but it was in regards to a decision in career opportunities not met while at that college. Three months later (January of 2008), I decided to return (stupid) only to find harassment and stalking becoming ever more commonplace. In campus I was followed around, made fun of and harassed. Eventually, things that I would do in my apartment, people would know/repeat what would happen there. In fact every time I would move in my apartment, a car alarm would go off; deployed by the students that stayed in my building. Eventually it got so bad that there was a protest that happened below my apartment. I decided that I would move to another apartment that was offered by student housing. This was worse, being that this place was bugged, and a man inside a vehicle outside my apartment would yell degrading comments every time I would move in the apartment. Now through this experience comes a question as to how would you know your apartment was bugged? Well, I would here people talk about my apartment on the street, or hear the exact same songs being played in parties that would play in my apartment. Eventually it got so bad that people outside my apartment would yell me going to kill you!!! As well as kick the apartment wall outside my apartment. It was from this point that I decided to talk to the police. When I talked to them nothing got solved except the harassment being more intensified. Men outside my apartment were yelling degrading comments, students were demanding I “talk to someone” due to my loner behavior, and I began to become an outcast on the college’s campus. Eventually being referred as a weirdo, psychopath and other degrading terms. When I decided to leave to go home, men came outside my dorm room demanded I stay at the college, and began to make death threats. It got so bad that I could see them outside the window making these threats. That is when I decided to call the cops a second time. When the cops came, they said there was no foot prints outside my window, and requested that I go to the hospital. While there I see the exact same guys that were there outside my window were there in the hospital (same guys that bugged me). Fearing for my life, I told the doctors that I was hearing voices and was put in a hospital. Thinking that everything would be alright, the people in the hospital said, that you should go back to the college and they began wearing the college’s emblems (From one nightmare to the next). Eventually I got out of the hospital and went home to my parent’s house. When I was there I found the wires in my basement messed up, and my house, and phone conversations “bugged”. When I would go and walk on the street things that happened in my house, people would know about. In fact joke and talk about the ailments that happened in college. On top of that. While driving on the road, a phone company truck, and/or hospital van would show every single day. To top this off, every time I move in my own house, a car passes by with a person yelling out that you messed up and/or electrical pulses are sent through my house. On top of that they cause havoc in the world. For example, every time “I would mess up”(as said by people who yell past my house everyday) I would see problems within my community and the world even though it sounds crazy. Because of my hospitalization, if I bring this information up with my parents, they think I going nuts and think a higher dosage of medication will work……but I am not nuts. For crying out loud I faked the illness to escape that havoc. So my life has been a living hell ever since I decided to go back to that college in January. Since that time, my life has been of harassment, stalking, and my house and phone calls being bugged. It’s as if there is nothing you can do anything about. I want to mention that most of the people in my home town changed their license plates to the license plates of the college I went to. Plus on top of that each neighbor I would wave hi too, guys in pick up trucks would go to their houses and install bugging equipment within their residences. I witnessed this happening. The last thing I want to add is that now every time I go past a cell phone, a third party participant yells degrading information over the phone. And everyone in my home town considers me a psychopath for leaving the college. To add further woe, when I left the country to visit a relative, these same things would happen there. The only difference was that when I would “mess up”(as said by the drivers), they would honk their horn. For example, if I would get up too fast, or start moving around a car would beep its horn. All these events that occurred are real though it sounds crazy. My illness was faked, but my experiences real. The college I went to: the University of Michigan. In terms of who is stalking/harassing me/electronic harassment or who bugged my parents house, cars, and my car: the government. Found out through an agency that specializes in this. They also explained why I get the electrical shocks in the form of popping sounds throughout my house.

I have a bad feeling about my landlord and the house I’m supposed to move into. Am I right to feel this way?

paco — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:39:48 +0000

He and his wife let houses for students in Liverpool. I’ve not long ago moved into a property in Kensington.

The house is poorly looked after (Dirty door, VERY stiff locks which I used WD40 on, badly fitted carpet, loo seat needs reparing (among other thigns) and I’ve seen 3 small brown dull-beetle-like creatures about the size of my little fingernail in the house in as many days I’ve been moved in! I’ve even seen an ant in the fridge!)

My mum calls him ‘disgusting’. Whenever I’ve wanted to ask him questions, he seems to kind of babble over them and talk in a very rushed way… I get the impression that he doesn’t really seem to like questions beign asked. Although he did fix the fuse in the washing machine a couple of days back….

PLEASE HELP!
Did u sign a lease or use an agent? I don’t know. As far as I can gather he’s an independent landlord. I signed a tenancy agreement and paid him £150 deposit with £30 admin fee in cash
Have your got an agreement? I have, actually. Signed and everything.
Do you want to move out? Yes if possible! or do you want the repairs done? Yes I want the repairs done too!Is it registered as a House of Multiple Occupation? Don’t know.

There’s one bathroom with the toilet and sink included in it and it’s between me (female) and three boys.
Is there gas in the property? if so is there a Gas Safety Certificate?
My dad’s put him on notice about how there needs to be a lock and key for my room because otherwise the insurance is invalidated.

My bedroom and another one both have locks, but no keys. The doorknob in the bathroom is broken and it’s almost impossible to op0en and close the bathroom door.

You can’t even close my bedroom door fully!
Is there gas in the property? Don’t think so.

if so is there a Gas Safety Certificate? If there is, I would guess there IS a certificate. There’s an airing cupboard with an immersion hot water tank if that helps.

About Feeding Baby Tegus…?

paco — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:45:06 +0000

Now the specific breed I am talking about is an Argentine Black and White Tegu. I researched about them hours upon hours on end. Now, I understand that babies prefer crickets, worms and mice etc etc. However, can their diet consist of bread, lots of fruit mixed with meat (like humans eat but raw) and some added supplements? My dad said Absolutely NO insects (I don’t blame him) and no rodents (ehhhhhh~ I personally dont mind feeding them that but w/e). I plan on giving them (obviously small portions cut up) fish, fruit, bread, eggs, meat {Chicken/Turkey}, and beans(?)

I know its bad to give it too much at a time but I wrote out my feeding schedule for it so don’t worry about the fact when Im giving them the food. I am afraid of protein deficiency for this diet. I plan to add its vitamins twice a week. What do you guys think?

Also, any advice on some good protein I can give the Tegu without the exceptions of insects and rodents? Adding vitamins every day isn’t recommended.

Why do people tease others about liking anime?

paco — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:19:15 +0000

(O and BTW I’m not getting teased…I just want to know why I am getting teased if I ever do. And I dunno why ppl don’t know bout anime cuz there are plenty of kids at my school who like it…anyway to the question.) I want ur opinion. I think it’s because a lot of ppl think anime is just stupid cartoons for little kids…WELL IT’S NOT! They don’t know anything about it. If you say “anime” around these people what comes up in their mind is either Pokemon or Yu-gi-oh. Yu-gi-oh I really don’t like, but I’m a girl, so no offense to people who like it….^^ sorries. (Hey, all you Yu-gi-oh lovers can now hate my girly self for saying I LOVE TOKYO MEW MEW!! Haha.) Or if the peoples aren’t total idiots they might think Naruto. Another reason is that if they watch anime they will most likely choose watching English dubs…which most anime fans know that a lot of English dubbed animes aren’t the best. ^^

One time at my school we had to make a poetry book and find pics on the Web to match the topic. So me and my two anime buddies were looking for anime pics of anime ppls playing soccer etc. when this one snobby girl comes up and is like “what’s that pokemon girl doing on the screen” and I look at her and say “its anime. japanese animation?” and she says “well most people don’t know who anime is.” WHO?!?!?! I was just thinking IS SHE MENTALLY RETARDED?!?! Anyway, in these ppls minds Pokemon seems little kiddish and stupid. But its not. If you think hard about personalities of people there is basically an anime for everyone. Boys in my school would probably like Death Note. Some girls might like Fruits Basket, and the less girly girls might like Chibi Vampire (Karin) for one. There is a bunch of animes out there, if anime haters had a more open mind they would see that anime wasn’t just “some stupid guys with weird hair” (which in my opinion isn’t weird) it’s really just like some shows that they would watch. EXCEPT MORE ORIGINAL. I know it’s cartoons, but still. It’s love, drama, mystery, horror; everything you would find in a TV show on a Friday night. I also made a website to kinda promote anime, animemania.yolasite. com….show ur friends they might find one they like. Now I am thinking “this isn’t a question…” so I’m going to stop typing. Well, anyway, show me ur opinions on the topic…so i can finally understand that stupid girl on that school afternoon in English class…lawl.

Oh, and I just wanna clear something. I’m not saying anime haters are stupid or retarded…I would NEVER say that because one of my best friends would rather eat worms than sit down and watch and episode of Inuyasha. I just think that they should at least know that it’s a thing…not a person and that it’s not stupid. They don’t have to like it, but I just want more people to know what it is. I’ve already been called immature (in a REALLY bad way) online today for liking anime, and I don’t think I can take any more. So, I like anime lovers and haters all the same, cuz I am a nice person…unlike that mean girl on the internet…never trust the internet…

Forget what you know about good study habits

paco — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:40:51 +0000

Forget what you know about good study habits
Every September , millions of parents try a kind of psychologicalwitchcraft, to transform their summer-glazed campers into fallstudents, their video-bugs into bookworms. Advice is cheap and alltoo familiar: Clear a quiet work space. Stick to a homeworkschedule. Set goals. Set boundaries. Do not bribe (except inemergencies).

i read this article about improving gas millage and wanted to know what you thought?

paco — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:17:56 +0000

Here is a device that you can build that will improve your gas
mileage by at least 25%, and also keep your oil, engine and spark
plugs cleaner, thus allowing your engine to have a much longer life.
The device can be made for a total cost of about $12.00, and about
two hours of labor.

The device consists of a 1 quart jar, a small V8 fruit juice can or
similar container, window screen, BBs’, hoses, washers and clamps.

The device is installed in between the PCV valve of your automobile
engine and the vacuum source the PCV valve is normally connected to.

The device condenses the oily vapors normally sucked into the
combustion chamber as part of the pollution control systems, in a
container of BBs’, where the vapors condense around the BBs’, and
drain into the bottom of the jar. If you can find them, use glass
beads the same size of the BBs’. I have been unable to find any,
but I know that they are made.

Blow by gases, containing gasoline vapors, are drawn back into the
engine for burning. Combustion efficiency is improved as a result
of the oily vapors collected in the jar, rather than contaminating
the fuel/air charge in the combustion chamber.

Obtain a 1 quart jar, preferably with a wide mouth. The wide mouth
is necessary for the juice can containing the BBs’ to fit in the
jar. Being careful not to damage the sealing gasket of the jar lid,
locate and cut a 1/2 inch hole in the very center of the jar lid.

Locate and cut another 1/2 inch hole midway between the hole in the
center of the lid and the outside edge of the jar lid. At this
point, the jar lid has two, 1/2 inch holes cut in it. Try to keep
the holes neat without any excess metal protruding above or below
the lid surface.

Obtain a length of 1/2 inch, all threaded pipe, and 6, 1/2″ nuts. I
use the pipe and nuts, that are used in lamps and lighting fixtures,
and buy it at lamp shops. Some of this pipe has a seam in it, which

Page 1

you don’t want. This device must be air tight, as engine vacuum is
connected. Cut 1, 2-1/2 inch length and 1, 1-1/2 length.

Cut the end with the pouring hole, out of the small V8 juice can.
Wash out and dry the can. Cut a 1/2 inch hole in the center of the
juice can. Using 1/2 inch nuts, and fender washers and silicone
gasket sealer (you’ll have to enlarge the holes in the washers to
fit the 1/2 inch pipe), install the 2-1/2 inch length of pipe in the
V8 juice can.

Leave about two threads of the pipe, showing down inside the can.
Use the fender washers on both side of the juice can to provide
support. This can will be eventually filled with BBs’, and the
washers are necessary because of the weight.

Take the 1-1/2 inch length of threaded pipe, 2 nuts and some
silicone gasket sealer, and install in the hole of the jar lid, NOT
the hole in the very center. Leave 2 or 3 threads of the pipe
showing on the underside of the jar lid.

Back to the juice can. Cut a piece of aluminum window screen to
neatly fit the inside of the juice can, and push it down into the
juice can, leaving no gaps for the BBs’ to roll into the threaded
pipe. Fill the can completely, with copper plated BBs’.

Take another piece of aluminum window screen, and pull it over the
end of the juice can, leaving about a 1/2 inch skirt of screen.
Using a large worm gear type hose clamp, gently tighten the clamp,
snugging the screen to the outside surface of the juice can. You
have to be careful here. You want to tighten the clamp just enough
where the juice can STARTS to deform.

Install this can full of BBs’ in the center hole of the jar lid,
using washers and nuts. Leave about 1/2 inch of space between the
top of the juice can and the other pipe installed in the jar lid, to
allow the blow-by gasses to exit the jar.

Install 1/2 inch elbow on both pipes protruding from the top of the
jar lid. Install a 1-1/2 inch piece of pipe into each elbow.

Obtain 1/2 automobile heater hose, and connect the jar to the engine
as follows:

o From the center pipe of the jar lid, connect to the PCV
valve. If the hose is too large, use a worm gear clamp to
secure the hose.

o From the other pipe in the jar lid, connect a 1/2 inch
section of heater hose to the vacuum source of the engine.

MAKE SURE THAT THE JAR IS ABSOLUTELY AIR TIGHT ! ! If not, you will
know what is meant by a vacuum leak.

Now for the hardest part:

You want to locate a spot in the engine compartment to mount a 1
pound coffee can, in which to hold the jar. Try to locate a place
where the hoses can be kept as short as possible.

Page 2

Cut several holes in the bottom of the coffee can to let any water
drain out that may get in the can after a hard rain or that you have
driven through. Cut a couple of pieces of the hose to wedge between
the coffee can and the jar, to keep it snug and not bouncing around.

To make this assembly blend into the engine compartment, paint the
jar lid, juice can and the coffee can, flat black. Consider using
hoses the same color as the other engine compartment hoses.

Depending on how far you drive, the jar will probably require
emptying about once a month. Vehicles which are driven short
distances and the engine never really gets up to maximum
temperature, will require that the jar be emptied about once a week.

The jar will contain mostly water, as a result of condensation that
takes place in the oil pan. The liquid in the jar contains unburned
hydrocarbons, water and sludge. The liquid is also mildly acidic,
as a result of the water vapor and the unburned hydrocarbons,
combining. Some people have noticed a slight burning sensation, if
the liquid gets on the skin.

About every 30,000 miles or so, wash out the BBs’ with varsol to
keep the passage ways open.

Your engine will stay cleaner and last much longer. Some people
have claimed they have gone 500,000 miles without a rebuild. Three
hundred thousand mile claims are common. The most mileage increase
heard, has been 40%. Twenty five percent is much more common.

You will not believe the sludge and “gunk” that builds up in the
jar. I broke an oil pump shaft in an engine with 185,000 miles on
it, and when the oil pan was pulled, there wasn’t any sludge or
buildup. I installed the jar when the engine had about 72,000 miles
on it. Additionally, the emission test readings are much lower.

Do you know anything about this black bug? SE Washington area.?

paco — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 01:41:14 +0000

They just appeared out of nowhere a few days ago, and now there are literally thousands of them on my 2 & 1/2 acres, as well as the surrounding areas. They are about 3/4″ to one inch long. They don’t seem to eat or to do anything besides walk along, but they are everywhere! All over the lawn, esp where we watered, on the gravel driveway, crawling up the patio walls, in the veggie garden, on the roses, on the 2nd story deck, everywhere! We just moved here in June ’07 and didn’t see any of them last summer, maybe because it was especially hot here. Are they harmful? Is this an unusual situation to have so many all at once. My poor chickens can’t eat another one; they are too stuffed to take another bite of beetle.

About feeding Bearded Dragons?

paco — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:17:52 +0000

I want to know a little about feeding Bearded Dragons. I just got a juvenile Bearded dragon and I want to make sure what to feed him and what not to feed him. What kind of fruits, vegetables and bugs should I be feeding him? What should I NOT be feeding him? And I heard by numerous websites that you should NOT be feeding them meal worms, is that true? And can you tell the difference between male and female Bearded Dragons? If you can, how can you? Also what else should I know about caring for a baby Bearded Dragon? I want him to have a happy, healthy life. And I want Bearded Dragon owners to answer these questions, but if you know someone who has one or you know a lot about them, then feel free to answer these questions. =] Thanx!

Is it time to call a professional about my termites?

paco — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:41:09 +0000

This morning, I found a swarm of termites in my bathroom. This isn’t the first time it’s happened; I just thought they were something else, not termites. I have bubbles in the paint on my walls. Can I treat it myself, or do I need a professional? If I need a professional, how much is it probably going to cost?
