Old hoes who lived long enough to lose their looks traditionally became procurers. Is there a 21st century version, or is Youtube scammer it?I just found an old picture frame with a still picture from the set of The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone, a lovely black and white picture of Warren Beaty and Vivien Leigh from the first version of the film made in 1961, I think. I used to have several movie pictures framed in my youth, those that used to decor the window of old Cinema Theaters. I kept only a few of them.
Anyway, the story of Tennesse Williams came back to my mind and it is kind of a version of Fanny’s life story…
I can see her life going the same way as ”poor” Mrs Stone. Below the poster and the plot. The poster is from the last version of the film produced in 2003 with Helen Mirren.

Plot
(From Wikipedia)
Karen Stone, an acclaimed American stage actress and her businessman husband are off on holiday to Rome. On the plane, her husband, a multi- millionaire, suffers a fatal heart attack. Karen decides to stay in Italy and rent a luxury apartment in Rome. She has no reason to go home. She shut down her latest play, Shakespeare's "As You Like It", because she realizes she is far too old to play Rosalind. A year later, the Contessa Magda Terribili-Gonzales, a procurer, introduces her to a handsome, well-dressed, narcissistic young Italian named Paolo, who is one in her stable of professional gigolos.
Magda plots and plans, telling Paolo that Mrs. Stone has just begun to taste loneliness. Paolo and Mrs. Stone go out for dinner and dancing, but no more. Eventually, she begins the affair. She falls in love with him; he pretends to love her. She believes that she is different from other mature women he has known. Her self-deception is aided by the fact that she does not actually pay him, but buys him expensive clothes and gifts, including a movie camera, and pays his bills through charge accounts. They become the subject of gossip columns. It soon becomes obvious that Paolo is only interested in himself. Eventually he is bored by Mrs. Stone's possessiveness and pursues an American starlet.
Abandoned by Paolo, ridiculed by the Contessa, with her only real friend, Meg, on a plane to New York, Mrs. Stone looks over her balcony and sees the ragged, mysteriously menacing young man who has followed her everywhere since the day she moved in, pacing. She tosses the keys of her apartment down to him and walks back inside, remembering what she told Paolo after he tried to frighten her with a story about a middle-aged woman murdered on the French Riviera by someone she invited into her apartment. All I need is three or four years. After that, a cut throat would be a convenience". She lights a cigarette and sits down to wait. The youth comes into the apartment and walks toward her slowly, hands deep in the pockets of his filthy coat, smiling faintly as his shadow fills the screen.

Not stepfending in anyway (or Amaury and Natti fending either) but it could be that the local agglomeration that deals with the refuse collection wouldn't allow it. The bin men in France (or rather their bosses) tend to be very picky about what they collect and where they collect it from. First hand experience of them deciding, without notice that they would no longer collect from us after collecting from the property for the previous 30 to 40 years.
That is curious.
It is difficult to know with the dump crew as so many unfinished story lines, so many lies and flog fillers.
Do you think they could have planted some shrubs to screen them without upsetting the bin men?
It really is ugly to see over flowing bins from pretty much every room in the shatoo.
Fanny was so chuffed when the phone line was taken down and buried, but the bins?
You can hide your bins when it’s not collecting time… but when the bin man cometh, you better not have any obstruction in their way or you will face their wrath!
Because most of the time they roll the bins close to their car and their machine automatically picks it up and dumps the contents in the truck.
(At least it’s the case here in Canada… not sure about how the French do things)
We certainly know that box does not hold the other kind of magnums. The Gay Twank requires Ultra Extra Small ones, although he probably tells guys at the bathes he’s allergic to condoms.
Without disagreeing in any way, I think what bothers me is that you have a social contract, not to mention a Workaway contract, not to starve and harass sexually, overwork and underpay, the people you invite into your home under false pretences. Surely they have the right to leave when mistreated, but the CONTRACT spells out no mistreatment as a condition of their being there in the first place.Lying! I don't have a problem with patreon. However if you claim to use all that money for renovations while crying poor with properties all over the world + b&b + youtube income and traveling all over the world whilst shopping?
I find that immoral.
The volunteers however, they had a choice to leave. When mommydidn't provide food, I would have said, bye witch and left.
Working longer than 5 hours or not what you were suppose to do? I'd leave. It would be my choice to stay. They allowed the grifster to exploit them and she did.
Why I feel this doesn't apply to the Patreons, I don't know. They have money and choices Workaway peons don't?
I'm not actually a Communist, I promise.....though I am an old union shop steward.
Hey @graciemckitten if you’re referring to posts #699 and #700 I can still see them.
And most of the volunteers didn’t have the money, transportation, or means to leave early, e.g., another place to go for the rest of their volunteer time.
Good to know, Tatty, that the cloth you use to wipe down toilets isn't being used to clean the kitchen counter when a guest leaves. Housecleaning 101, which I learned in Home Ec in 8th grade.....never use the same sponge/cloth in your kitchen as that of your bathroom. I thought this was a given in all households, hotels, B&B's. I just never thought about it being used as SELLING POINT!
She needs to take a small business/marketing course!
You still have to pull the bins out of the structure for said garbage collectors- it was just meant to mask all the gift grab rejects between pick up times. Amaury realized if he wasn’t there, that simple chore would not be satisfied, so why bother?

My thought on the volunteers is that they either left a job or in between work and volunteer. They get there and have their return tickets and no plans to pay for a room. To leave the shitoo early might not be feasible for some as the cost that would be involved . so some may just be stuck there until their time is up. I am glad she got kicked out of the program, how disappointing to get there and see the realityLying! I don't have a problem with patreon.

Or sleep with the desperate lady in residence
Makes for an easy life if we have friends over for a meal. Always wanted one and when we renovated, the kitchen was big enough to accommodate one. It's nothing fancy like Billy's though, 2 electric ovens gas top.
Sometimes TL is not Reddit friendly.
Same. No obstructions, no moving the bin from the approved placement. If the bin is not where it's meant to be, when it's meant to be emptied no emptied bin. Anything that is not meant to be in the household rubbish bin, anything not bagged up no emptied bin. Recycling only in the appropriate recycling bins. Anything not adherred to, fines can be made. And we all know Fanny chucks her unwanted gift grab tit straight in the bin.
Looks like Sadie and Mo stopped the project and Yannis got pulled to help at the convent. Thankfully Billy and crew will knock that off in no time. I guess now that Mo is working Sadie doesn't need to post videos. It sad they had a lot of time to get that place ready and just left it sit there.
That could be the reason.
