Did you even read what I just put here? I said nothing about the economy or jobs, we're on SSI. We can't get jobs because they'll take our checks away if we do. But everything goes to Charles and none of us get so much as a crumb or a crack in the floor. I'm DONE WITH IT!! It's nothing but boredom and monotony around here, if I have to misbehave to get my entertainment back then I will!! I'm SICK OF BEING BORED!

Your step-father can't manage to charge his own phone?

No, tree. No. His PHONE IS SO CRAPPY THAT IT CAN'T *HOLD* A CHARGE. (I'm sorry. The amount of boredom and monotony around here is.... not doing good things to me, mentally.)
tree
ohhh.
For what amount of time does it actually hold a charge?

Well for one the port to the charger has gone spotty, so when it's plugged on you have to look for the "sweet spot" and if you move it ONE HAIR the wrong way you have to find it all over again. Combine this with the world's slowest charge to %100 and you have a formula for the most annoying phases of boredom through the whole day. )

And he won't do that?

That sounds just like my own phone. It might help to clean out the phone's charging hole (don't know the correct term). It didn't fix my phone, but it did increase the sweet spot by a couple of millimetres. I used a paperclip wire to scrape the dust out, but I've heard of some people using a specific type of oil.
