I live in a rooming house. There was one of the other residents - Thomas, I've written about him before - who was just partially in range. The Apple I used - which has a built-in webcam - to shoot that segment is out in the living room.
I may be somewhat handicapped because I'm fat and can't walk, but I'm not incapacitated. I fix my own meals, I go to the store and I even bathe myself. What makes you think I have a "houseboy," or could even afford to hire one? (There is no help at all available for handicapped people who can fend for themselves; if you're an invalid or incapable of handling yourself you can be put in a home or possibly get a nurse to provide care for you. Be someone who just needs assistance for maybe an hour a week or a couple hours a month, unless you want to pay for it out of your own pocket, you're shit out of luck, there's nothing available for disabled people who just need occasional assistance.)
Also, did you re-arrange the two waffles so the quarters were lined up before you ate them?
What the fuck for? I just eat the damn things. And how would I remember what I did with waffles I made five years ago?
One last question then I'll hang up and listen. You mentioned syrup. What kind, real or laboratory made?
The latter, probably. I just buy the cheap sugar syrup sold by Shoppers Food Warehouse, Giant Food or Safeway. I'm not going to pay $7-8 for a pint bottle of real syrup when a quart of the cheap stuff is about $2.50.
