The room is provided, but not the bed.

Re: Job Ad In My Local Paper

Could just be someone with no money needing help. It is weird, kinda like stories from the great depression, (which didn't sound so great).

What bothers me the most is the loose use of the word "carpenter".

Don't want to hire crackheads? How about some wine?

Re: Job Ad In My Local Paper

What's the problem here!? you scratch my back I'll scratch yours... It's as old as human history!

Course when the family ends up dead and stuffed in the refrigerator so that the dalmer like "carpenter" would have something to eat, this might turn out to be a cautionary tale... like the Craig's list killer...
