Do You Have MCS and/or Limited Mobility and
Need Help In Your Daily Activities? A New Service Is Now Available To Help You.
Fellow stop-the-spray activist John Thielking who lives
in San Jose has decided to go through the processes necessary to be
able to help MCS people and other disabled or limited mobility people
in their homes. John is looking to join the In Home Support Services
(IHSS) program for Santa Clara County, but in the meantime, and
in addition to that source of employment, is considering taking on
other clients outside of the IHSS program. Being a male, John is not at
this time considering doing personal care for women, but he is open to
doing most other domestic tasks. 5-22-08 John now has a reliable car that has commercial insurance that explicitly covers the tasks of making deliveries and the transporting of patients for hire. Most personal insurance policies do not cover this type of driving activity. John's car is a 1991 Geo Metro, that hopefully no longer has the new carpet smell, etc. John is going through the process of detoxification of all of his clothing, bedding, and washing activities, so that hopefully MCS people will be able to tolerate being around John while he is helping them in their homes. All washing is done by hand using Dr. Bronner's unscented baby soap and baking soda. John's clothes are washed in a pre-washed bathtub and line dried so as not to share the common Laundromat equipment that contains traces of perfumed soaps and fabric softeners. John does share his apartment with other people who use scented products, but at least one MCS person has said that she is not affected by people who fully detox but also share living accommodations with people who have not detoxed. If you are/have MCS (or are willing to follow MCS cleaning/washing procedures) and would like help with domestic chores such as cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping, going to appointments, etc, then please call John Thielking at 408-914-2751 or send an e-mail to pagesincolor@aol.com . John prefers to work in Santa Clara County, but will consider other areas too if the price is right. Live ins also considered. The standard hourly rate for Santa Clara County IHSS is about $12 per hour. John requests a 2 hour minimum per shift. Thank you so much, and let us hope we can stop the spray (and the whole LBAM eradication program). References are available upon request, including people who can testify to John's past experience with helping his elderly friend Evelyn in Santa Cruz a few years ago. John's former retail store and current web site Pagesincolor.com was an accredited business with the BBB in 2007, but is not listed this year only because he can't afford the $395 listing fee. ------------------------ -------------------- --------------------- ------------------- --------- Environmental Assessment Comments Concerning Eradication Efforts For The Light Brown Apple Moth in San Jose Due Friday, May 23, 2008 by noon Eastern time.
