Just wanted to thank all the church's in Batavia from a poor Christan family

  • Churches in Batavia

I need help with bills and stuff so my wife called around and got the run around, They were mostly christen churches too telling my wife things like'

Oh there's people in our church that need help too or The Pastor will have too call you back and they never do and this is every church we have called even the Salvation Army we got the run around and I think this is Bull Sh$$, Is it because I have never been on welfare and worked all my life so these places figure I can go right out and find a job??????????????????????????????? It isn't like I do this all the time and as a matter of fact I have never done this

Oh well I just don't trust church's anymore and this is a good example for my kids to see too. I think 99.9% of church's have turned into a club house for members only benefits.

My Tesla Coil

Another video of My Tesla Coil arcing onto a florescent light bulb, Sounds cool on the video when it first POWERS up and just so you know the voltage is around 200,000 to 300,000 volts. If it arced on your hand it feels like a very HOT pin prick

Rolled coins. There worth nothing when rolled!?!

  • Kwik Fill

Today I went to Kwik Fill at the corner of Jackson st and Ellicott to get some smokes man I hate when I have to go in there for various reasons and now I can add this one to the list.

I asked if I could get a pack of cigarettes and pay for them with my 5$ rolled dimes

NOPE with an attitude is all I got. I kept my cool and left

Attitude in that place is common and I would like to know is the legal for them to not take the dimes as money? I would go to a different store but I'm picky and the brand of cigs and yes I know I should quit. I never seen any sign that says "your rolled money is worth nothing to us"

 

Wow this burns my hide and like I said I wish I never ever had to goto that store... If you want to call it THAT.
