I'm convinced that the dwarf is severely mentally ill. That's what befalls those with no family/no friends, least he's never mentioned any. I know he attempted to hook up with the emu lady but she told him to bug off, Om can do much better than a dwarf who lives on cheapo cold sandwiches. To me it was obvious that the dwarf was only interested in Om because she drove a car and the dwarf doesn't even have a drivers licence... he just would have used her for a free taxi service. |

Yes, my son did a paper route and that's exactly how it went, child labour laws notwithstanding. Now many areas do not even have paper delivery because so few people want an actual newspaper, so the papers can suck it up, they oiled their pot when they could. |

I never said I made $60,000 delivering papers. I had three adjacent routes, about 150 customers. We didn't walk, we knew how to ride a bicycle. With 3 routes I made about $30 each per week, plus tips, and very good tips at XMas. I never had a problem getting paid. Most long time customers paid monthly so I didn't need to bother them every week. |

The average income for men in 1950 was 90$ a week. https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/p...ages/1950-1959 The average cost of newspapers was 5 cents. Subscription was less. THat at most generous is .28 per week thenper customer. Thats a total BILL at most of 42 dollars a week for 150 people. No way they tipped you in addition a little over the cost of the paper per person. What you may have made was at top end, 10$ a week. That is very top end though and would involve 1cent per paper with 7 day a week delivery in tips. Reality? 3-5$ tops a week. -- |

My 40 customer route only grossed $20, and then I had to pay for the papers. I would be lucky to get $2 per week. Tips, if I got them were like 5 or 10 cents. |

I started delivering papers in 1955, no 12 year old would deliver 30 papers seven days a week for $2... wouldn't cover bicycle maintenence. And I don't believe you ever delivered papers, no kid delivered papers by walking, not even in NYC where population density is as dense as dense gets. |

Try again Sheldon. 2$ a week was god money for a kid then and bike maintenance was at most 1.50 a year back then (likely 1/2 that but giving you the benefit of the doubt) -- |

The shelves in my Maytag are 20" X 22", but you are not thinking three dimentionally. the lower shelf has 12" headroom to the bottom of the upper shelf, why waste all that space when I can place containers in three layers. The upper shelf offers a depth of 9", it can easily fit two layers. Placed on a slant and jammed in the way I do it's rare any containers shift. The containers I use are 2" deep... I can easily fit a hundred in layers set on a slant. Of course there are no other items messing with my geometry... although I can usually squeeze in a few small jelly jars. When all items are the same size and shape you'd be surprised how many can fit... aboard ship we had a dishwasher, only washed SS trays, placed properly all could be washed in one cycle... with room for eating utensils, bowls and cups. Show most people a blueprint and no way can they visualize the finished item.... I can view a stack of complex blueprints for a few minutes and to build it all I need to refer to are the dimensions, one brief look and the entire machine, or whatever, is etched into my mind's eye. I can't knit but my wife is an excellent knitter... she's always amazed at how I can take a quick look at a photo of a garment and I can recall every stitch... she typically redesigns the garments for size and configuration but she relies on me to tell her what will work. I'm much better at designing for neck style, shoulder drop, waist, and especially allowing for her largish boobs... 34 C on a 130 pound 5'4" woman is not exactly small breasted. I've argued with many engineers over design possibilities, never once have I been wrong about what can be fabricated and they have not once been right... old time engineers eventually learn to never argue with toolmakers. MEs typically think just because they can draw something it can be made... better than half the time they are wrong.... they too are incapable of visualizing three dimensionally. I don't know how anyone can be awarded a degree in mechanical engineering when the best they can do is visualize their world TWO dimensionally. |

That is a fair representation of money then. Sheldon claimed (and carefully deleted) a MUCH larger sales with a paper route. 30$ a week. I did better of course when I started working in 1975 (2.10 I think was the minumum wage). Things cost more by then though so not sure I was really 'ahead'. -- |

I was a big kid and I don't think he even asked my age. It was hard work, we would show up at recently excavated lots. The pros would lay out the framework for the footings. We would lug big wheelbarrows full of gravel for the bottom layer an later fill in the forms with cement. A day or two latter were removed the forms and then more gravel, lay the weeping tiles, cover them with gravel and then a layer of gravel to the top of the footings. It was hot, dusty and very heavy work and I made as much in an hour or two as I used to earn that paper route. |

Why pay $5 for a worn out damaged baby blanket when I can buy brand new for 99¢ at Walmart. I spend a lot more feeding feral cats than the dwarf spends maintaining his fat ass. I know for a fact that food bank and thrift shop workers divvy up the good stuff and only put out the crap. |

I'll bet! I've done a little cement work, not to your level, so I know how hot and dusty it can be. Mom raised us 3 kids on the proceeds of what today would be called 'flipping houses'. She was divorced since I was 2 (youngest of the 3). I was set to work on really simple things like handing tools to the older ones by the age of 7 (maybe age 6?). By the age of 12, my 14 year old brother and I were finishing off basements with drywall and laying floors and dropped ceilings in frames by ourselves. Mom did the mudding as she was better at it. My sister did faux framing to make a big open basement into multiple rooms (bro and I added the drywall or wood paneling depending on house). We brought in people for the really tricky parts like all electrical, and any work with copper pipes. If we'd needed your level of basement work, it would have been figured into the cost of purchase of the home and contracted out ;-) -- |

Your wild stories are not believeable. Thats not what he said at all. He said it was filing the excavated basement, a completely different process. A hard heavy job to fill with gravel around a framework then cement, then more of same. You on the other hand now claim to have made 30$ x3 (90$ a week) selling newspapers to 150 customers when papers were 5cents. Mimimal math shows the collective 150 customers added to a 42$ bill. Thats more thswn double the cost of the paper per day in tips. Aint happening. Conversely in 1965 that a larger than average kid who may well have looked 16 (common enough to see) got 1$ an hour loading wheelbarrows and dumping them as directed into an excavated basement to be cemented, is very reasonable. https://www.google.com/search?source...5+canada&oq=mi nimum+wage+1965&gs_l=psy-ab.1.2.0l2j0i22i30k1l2.1230.7284.0.11128.17.17. 0.0.0.0.178.1962.1j15.16.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..1.16.1959...46j0i131k1j 0i46k1.1oDHBxAiiug Mimumum wage was higher than that in some areas, at that in others, and only a little lower in others. His story is easy to check and see that it checks out. Your's is a pack of crystal palace enhanced dreams. -- |

Yes but the difference is your story can be checked by anyone who Googles Mimimum wage 1965 Canada. Sheldon's story requires all 150 customers pay double+ per paper for 7 days a week to add up that amount. Not happening. -- |

At 50¢/hr you weren't paid fairly for 1958. I worked for various mom n' pop groceries in the early 50s and was paid 75¢/hr. Besides stock work and cleaning etc. I made deliveries by bicycle so I also collected tips, some tips better than others but I was always tipped, on average 25¢ per, and typically 5-10 deliveries each day.... most in apartment buildings with more than one delivery per so traveling was minimal. Often my tips were by way of deposit bottles and those made for a good tip as a carton of bottles added up.... large soda bottles were a nickle, a dozen meant 60¢, not a bad tip for 1953. The grocery owner would try to cheat me on the bottle count by keeping a tally for a week but would always short me, so I learned to bring the bottles to a different store for redeeming, and on the cheat's clock... the miser never noticed that I stopped bringing bottles.... and I never told him how much I was tipped... he'd ask but I'd tell him his customers don't tip. The newspaper I delivered was the New York World-Telegram & Sun. Weekday stand price was 10¢ and Sunday was 25¢ = 85¢, however delivery price for the week was 75¢ and that's what I collected each week from each customer + tips. The paperboy was paid half what he collected and naturally got to keep his tips. I say paperboy because there were no papergirls. Girls didn't deliver groceries either. Mostly girls got paid to babysit, boys didn't babysit... that's how it was back then. I don't think papers are delivered anymore, subsriptions are mailed. A newpaper route was a very good after school job for teaching a work ethic, how to handle money, keep records, and how to socialize with customers. About once a month we'd canvass an area to get new customers, there were nice prizes awarded, typically things for a bicycle; lights, horns, bells, reflectors, jackets, and one year I won a new bicycle for signing up the most customers. I delivered papers for three years and did a good job, I never missed a day regardless the weathe, that's why they gave me three routes. When my brother was old enough he wanted to deliver papers and thinking he's work like me they hired him., big mistake. Customers started calling that they didn't get their paper so the manager tailed him, he caught my faggot brother tossing all the papers down a sewer, of course he was fired on the spot. I really don't believe many of you worked as a teenager, in fact I have my doubts that many of you ever had a job, especially schenk, what a phoney. |

No Sheldon. The only way you'd get an extra 25cents on average is if you flipped over to provide an extra hind benefit. > The newspaper I delivered was the New York World-Telegram & Sun. > Weekday stand price was 10¢ and Sunday was 25¢ = 85¢, The April 18 1955 edition was 5 cents. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/80150068341184205 Thats the one that announced Eienstein died. The rest of your lies, deleted.

No Dave, he's lying. The price was 5 cents (I posted posted image, zoom in). He's also wrong on bottle price except for milk bottles and those were always left out for the milkman to pickup. If it wasnt there (stolen), you owed an extra 15cents for the next bottle due to lack of turn in. I have no reason to believe he actually stole milk bottles. They however would never have been left as tips. Glass bottles other than milk types didnt hit 5cents until 1967. His intake at best by this own message was 1/2 of 42$ for all 150 customers, but like you, I do not believe the paper cut it's profit to 50% so a kid could have the rest. Nope, not believing it. They generally knocked off a penny per paper then which was the pay the paperboy got, plus the rare tip. -- |

This all reminds me of a funny story from a former job: Young eager - beaver 20 - something white female upper - middle class "educated" social worker type, she a newly - hired Executive Director ("I have a MSW from University of Illinois - Chicago...!!!) threatens to fire a cool older black guy (74 years old, he actually ran the place), for his allegedly colorful "language". His reply, "Shit, go ahead and fire me...I am comfortably retired, own lotsa income property, and I just do this job for something to keep me outta the house and away from the wife and her gabby card party friends. I TIP more in a year than ANY of you mother****ers make in a YEAR at your bullshit social worker jobs..." He nailed it, lol...she palled and stomped off speechless. She is long-gone (fired!), he is still on the job and enjoying life.. -- Best Greg |
