Desperate Plea for Help

in return you have to learn to play magic and play with me regularly (and in doing so you will naturally eventually realize its superiority)
 
I understand that she may not want to talk about it, but if people are going out of their way to send their hard earned money to help her out I really think that at the very least i should get a decent explanation as to why that wouldn't work as a temporary solution! It's as if I just threw money for no good reason!

I mean Atemu, I really don't have anything personal against you, in fact i really like you for the most part, but what the heck yo? I mean from my understanding, you're living in some landlady's house, and even tho' it is a shit hole, ur not paying rent? I mean by all means in that case she should have every right to evict you, ESPECIALLY if you left ur job. i understand that there are health issues involved, and again I'm sympathizing (sp) with you and all, but there must be SOMETHING that can work! I mean for crying out loud it seems that every possible solution that gets thrown out there is show down for one reason or another. I may not be as extreme as Des is in terms of opinions on the matter, but I really do see almost every single one of his posts.

For the sake of yourself and ur health throw us all a freakin bone here.

Ok, I'm not trying to prick into your skin, but seeing as both Vennie and I have donated to help you, I really want to know why you can't stay with yer dad. I mean it really just feels like ur not helping urself.

Because my FATHER rather let his STEP DAUGHTER live in the spare room while her husband is in Iraq, even though she has a successful job and can easily get a job down here and move into her own place, being a nurse and all.

Are you happy to know this now?

Jesus Christ.
 
Not really. If it's THAT BAD then who gives a shit if you won't get a spare room to yourself? Live in the fucking closet it's better than being homeless.
 
ugh you're trying to take the moral high ground when you don't have a leg to stand on!

it's called doing what you can to SURVIVE.

lol if I were bent on taking the moral high ground when i was homeless i guarantee you i wouldn't be ALIVE today.

sigh :(

even if they don't WANT you there, you're your father's DAUGHTER, that SHOULD count for SOMETHING. even just crashing at his pad for a week/??


Thats pretty true. They don't have Salvation Armies in PA?

I stayed in one for a while.

Its not that bad. Although sometimes the food they served had bugs in it!

But seriously you need to choke down your issues and just ask if you can crash for a few nights just till you get on  your feet.

Because look at it this way:

A small ass couch.
A cold ass ground.

I don't get paid until next week though but I'd be more than willing to donate money. :] unless you're not taking donations anymore?

But seriously you're out of options.

You're going to be homeless soon anyways so it'd just be best to be a bum and crash on the couch for a while then get the hell out of there ASAP.

I don't know what kinda family issues you have going on but seriously last options outweigh stubborn reasons any day.

You have to do whats in YOUR best interest. Even if that means asking your parents to crash a while.

Sometimes you gotta bite the bullet.

EDIT: Just saw the father story. My bad. Still it stands.

Better fight her for that room or something. Or you can come to texas and live here! Hop on a gray hound for like $35 hit dallas. Take the train to Fort Worth and live with crash with me. But of course you'd have to get a job because my dad would bitch but my mom would understand you. Or hell there is a SA on the way towards my old high school.

Or just offer someone a little bit of the 300 you have like 50 bucks to chill for a week. Y'know? Things like that.

Or even better take up commissions!
Deviantart, pixeljoint and other places are filled with people who will pay good money for a picture. Straight up.

Or do like V said and ebay.

What weak reasoning to not stay with your father. I have no pity for people who will not take initiative and instead resort to begging - and online of all places. Being stressed out and/or having some sort of illness that is obviously not debilitating is not a reason to be out of work. There are people who actually have very difficult problems that still work for the money and housing, and based on your words, you are not one of those people.

There are valid points made here but you do have to also take into consideration that she may very well be one of those people. We don't know shit about her family so we can't really judge her based off of her decision to not want to go there [[even though it seems to be the only option]] but still...Its her decision and JD said it in earlier posts.


I mean for all we know we may be funding a drug habit y'know?
But its candy coated and slapped with sympathy to get us.

I saw it on an episode of scrubs.

But while that may not be the case not everyone is as generous or understand of that or this situation.

Zodiac though you seem like a bit of an ass.

Just keep shit to yourself if thats the case.

You're entitled to your opinion and all of that but how's the saying go?
"If you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all." I'm not to sure on that.

What's different in that aspect between this and Des' thread? (I'm not against either, just saying) Or any time you donate money?

I'd give you some cash if I had any. Unfortunately I have none :(

I've been refraining from commenting in this because I'm quite spoiled compared to most of the members here but it seems not enough people can repeat this. You need to do something.

You have a truck, in a worst case scenario you can find somewhere that won't charge you to park and sleep in that for a few days. I assume you have bedding so being too cold shouldn't be a problem, sleeping sat up might hurt your neck a bit but it's better than nothing. Have your dad hold onto the stuff you're planning to ebay and ask Sic to check your listings then send them off and get more funds. Most big stores have public bathrooms and most swimming pools will let you use just the showers if you ask and you're willing to pay. You can use the time you're not playing games or on the computer any more to do job hunting and hopefully find something and improve your situation.

And that's the worst case scenario.

It's been said in this thread somewhere that sixty'd be willing to let you live with him? If that's the case it's far better than the 'live in you truck' option.

For christ's sake you need to do something. I like you a lot and I don't want you to DIE or anything. You have a lot of options but you need to TAKE them and you need to take them soon before you lose your chance. For someone who expressed willingness to sleep on a lawn in a tent you are being awfully inflexible.

No, everything he said was entirely logical.

I said there were valid points but what would be the point in posting if you were just going to say that?

It makes logical sense but still it wasn't needed.

Either way I retract my statement.

People are entitled to their own opinion and well on the internet you can pretty much say whatever you want and not have to give two damns or a fuck about others opinions of you.

to each their own.

True. But I guess it comes down to trust in the end. If you believe that the person has good intentions then you can donate it and hope that its going towards a good cause.

Its like ebay'ing. How can you trust that the person on there is going to give you what you're paying for?

Trust.

Which is a problem actually. Its an honor system.

But the thing about Des' topic is he was not turning down options because well he just wanted a 360 [[hopefully the red ring doesn't plague it though]] and yeah options are given but turned down.

So again it comes down to an honor system or how much you trust this person.
