Paradise Cove success story

[Anonymous]

Hey I found out that Eddie Bueno (you know featured as a sucess story on I believe the 48 expo on the program) and another graduate were hired and then fired from Spring Creek Lodge for their drinking and consumption of alcohol.

Another program graduate a "Charles Mitchell" was also fired from there some years back for crashing his mustang under the influence. I think their sucess rate is not quite what they claim it is.

"Hey does anyone remember when Ross Nagler got his nose broken when Faragi (FRANK) the staff kicked him in the face? Or what about when Stone hit Andy in the back of the head with a rock and split his head open? They fired stone but then re-hired him like a month later because his uncle was the Maatai (chief) of the village that the program rented its land from."

stone was an asshole but nobody could do anything about it cause of his family connections. does anyone remember that white dog that got thrown off the sinalele cliff?

It was monkey! It was thrown over the cliff to get a rise out of Stephen Frederickson who was like 11 or 12 at the time. I think one of the staff later killed it with a machete. It was thrown over during a facility meeting where the majority of the kids from all three beaches were present I think the meeting was called by Dace regarding some change in the school procedures or something.  I remember he thought it was pretty funny.

"Does anyone remember when we couldn't shower for two weeks at Le Tiarra cuz the water stopped working? How about when we had to manually flush the toilets with a bucket of water? We were'nt allowed to flush until at least 10 people had done a #2 any sooner and it was "manipulation" and you were given a consequence fo asking. "

  yea the shit got so bad it was sticking up through the rim, and everyone had the shits, but they limited toilet paper. i was in lolo's family and tau used to come over and steal shit from us. in his lavalava. he was from freedom which had atul, rocky, sergio, sutton, etc. i got sent back to le tiara from sinalele later on and went to freedom with lorenzo as father. going to the river was kinda cool though. at least it got you away from le tiara.

He was really attached to that dog it was almost like his teddy bear. He seemed scared shitless to be there in a program at such a young age surrounded by older boys many of who ostracized him and some who even attempted to kill him in order to get the program shut down.

Yeah but for a while there was no river they just waited for the water to come back on, it did'nt.

i remember that. the river was only when we really really needed to shower. i remember showering in the rain coming off of a le tiara roof. the only good thing about le tiara was the fresh bread. by the time it got to the beach it was stale. i still hate ramen noodles tuna rice and lamb!

[Anonymous]

It was fresh bread at Le tiarra because it was closer to the bakery. It was still russian roulette though we always found beetles and things that were baked in.

Uggh the lamb was stamped grade C it had like 1 1/2 inches of fat and 1/8 of an inch of really stringy meat. Then put curry all over it.
