So like I said here is the meat and potatoes, when I first started at FH in northern New Jersey USA I was interviewed twice for the job as a driver of various small vehicles and if I had extra time during the day I would be a monitor of the clients and do any odd jobs as necessary. Now they stressed would I be willing to step in between two or more clients and try to stop them from any confrontations etc. betweem them. Since I was an older person they brought me back for a second interview to stress the point, when I looked them in the eyes and said -Yes- they hired me.

Now in the beginning about the first six months I was led or taught about clients behaviour by the professional staff and this worked extremely well for both of us. Now since I mentioned in the interview and afterwards that I wanted to be kept busy with work because it made the day go quickly. They told me that I could do anything as long as I was able to do it reasonably correctly, so over time I was able to do over 20 to 40 job titles as a driver. Now you are going to think, who is this guy bull s... but the following list is very important because it shows how I interacted with clients(Mental illnesses, addictions, mental disorders, retardations, autisms, sexual predators etc. etc. etc. etc.) PS, the next post will have the list of jobs I did and again this is very important because I am trying to show the history of how I am saying that Continuous Kindness creates an -Atmosphere of Kindness- which can have a profound affect (effect) on mental illness etc. and mental disorders and diseases etc..

-OK-, I will give you a little bit of information that is relavant and then the meat and potatoes .Detailed observerations are very important because the real facial expressions and body language of a trusting person with mental illness and addictions and disabilities and mental disorders etc.. This trust is rarely given by people with mental illness etc. and mental disorders etc. this is critical to the recovery of human beings in pain 24/7/365.

When I was a taxi leader in N.Y.C. I was on a -Don Quixote- quest to stop the taxi robberies and taxi killings that were allowed to happen because these cab drivers were immigrant human beings that nobody gave a damn in N.Y.C.. When we tied up the streets in total grid lock on many, many, many numerious occasions peacefully the Police and Bureaucracy and Politicians etc. help us stop the killings etc. in the 1980's and 1990's ( I told you I was an old fart). This is important to know because I am on another -Don Quixote- quest to help human beings in pain 24/7/365..

Now the meat and potatoes of -How- we, me and you and your family and relatives and friends and caregivers etc. can stop the pain and suffering 24/7/365.. This program of Continuous Kindness is the key to what I am promising -You- so let me tell you how it all started...

A long, long, long time ago (A little bit of humor) I was a New York City Taxi Driver who was extremely good at observering people which I used to stay alive buy being very selective in who I picked up off the streets. Now if any of you know N.Y.C. you will think that this selective behaviour meant that I did not pick up minorities. The reason that I did not pick up people was because I could observe them for a few seconds before they got in my taxi and tell 90% of the time if they were a pain in the -A..- or they were a threat or dangerous. Now you are going to say, what the hell does that have to do with the mental health industry, it means that I am real good at spotting human beings that are having problems. PS, I drove a taxi for over 10 years and never had a real problem with a passenger and was never robbed or killed.

Now I can jump ahead 20 years and start to explain my involvement with the mental health industry or I can describe my years as a -Taxi Leader- and ran huge demonistrations against New York City with thousands of immigrant cab drivers. We were getting killed and robbed on the streets and the people and the politicans did not care until we stopped the city traffic from moving. PS, Both of these examples and their ramifications directly affect the mental health industry, so let me know how you want me to continue this blog? Taxi leader and or trying to help -You- with mental illness?
(You will get how to help you with mental illness but later in the blog or now without the taxi leader part)...

Since I am an old fart (Depreciating Homor) and I have no idea on how to use these new internet ideas and this will be the first time on using a -Blog- so here goes. So far this has been the best mental health forum I have seen on the internet so far and I would like to put my history of trying to help people with mental health problems etc.. This would be my way of nicely venting and doing it by showing the frustrations with the mental health industry etc. with a twist, I want -You- to voice any questions or answers that you might have. PS, I do not want to offend or upset the members of this forum so please tell me if I am wrong or upsetting in any way and I will try and correct the issue or I will stop this blog idea if the site administrator etc. tell me that my blog is not a benefit to this forum. PS, so far what I have posted is there any problems???
