Is there a summary of the last thread somewhere? I apparently didn't end up bookmarking it, but I got as far as cat-doption and working on a giant truck-TV rig before I lost track of the thread and I'm not sure if I have the intestinal fortitude (:smug:) to trudge through it all.

dad gay. so what posted:

stop being such a needy bitch all the time.

And no, nobody is going to send you money (again!) so you can repair that clown car of yours.

Get a cheap bicycle/moped/whatever or ride the bus for a while, and save money for a different car, or for repairing the current one (whatever makes senses economically)

You know, what normal people would do (instead of whining/begging on the internet). And yes, I am talking from experience.

My car exploded. I got a couple of paychecks under my belt. I paid a month's rent, outfitted my kitchen, put food in the cupboards, bought a cheap office chair and folding plastic table, and so on. I gave $500 back to the goon who got me the job, and who let me stay with him when I first got here. I sent $500 to the goon who helped me fix my car. I was thinking that I could start getting a little cushion under me. Then, my car exploded. I get paid this week. I owe more money to both goons, and I owe back rent from the first partial month I was here. I owe my first gas bill, which must have been a loving doozy, because my 1/3rd of 1/2 month's gas is apparently $100, despite it being cold enough in here to make ice cubes on my kitchen counter. Maybe it's time to give up the ghost, and buy an embarrassing $500 hoopty. I don't have high hopes for my car being salvageable, anyway.

I've been in a very lovely place, mentally, ever since I got to Detroit. Those of you who followed the thread noticed my disappearance, I am sure. I have no reason to feel so down. I got off the streets, and I got a good job (although that hasn't been all smooth sailing), and I have some sort of prospects for the first time in a while. This incident is just exactly what I needed. Now, I have a reason to feel lovely. That's what I call a step in the right direction.

I just looked at bus schedules. I can choose from two: one guarantees that I will be late, because it drops me off a twenty-minute walk from work, fifteen minutes before the latest I am allowed to arrive; the other necessitates me leaving two-and-a-half hours before I need to be at work, and also has the twenty-minute snow trek on the other side.

I suppose Uber is another option, at around $15 each way, or a little less, or a lot more, depending on whether I am traveling during surge hours, and whether the cheapest level of Uber is available. So, $30 or so per day, as long as I travel at off-peak hours, and don't tip the driver.

In other news, I cooked some chicken breasts several days ago. I was just eating one cold out of the fridge (I don't have a microwave), and after popping a few bites down my gullet, I looked down and realized it was red on the inside. I don't know how that happened. The others were all cooked through. We may have another food poisoning episode on the horizon. Stay tuned!

In summary: I should have bought the Mercedes.

It's too bad that the first time something worth posting about happened, it had to be something bad. I promise to also post a thread if I win the Powerball.


Lmao I hope you die dude.

OP when's the last time you got an oil change and I don't mean just dumped oil into your car?

Also there's no way you can't find some beater for a few hundred. Look on Craigslist or something, or walk around the city and keep an eye out for some piece of poo poo in someone's driveway with writing on the window. That's usually a lazy way to advertise a sale.

I don't want money. A couple of months of busing it, and I'll be able to afford a semi-reasonable car. That is going to super-suck, but I will live. The last couple of goons who sent me money got it sent right back to them.

i mean lets realtalk OP, i was following your last thread up until the point where the cats were saved but you were still looking like you were gonna die. im glad to find out you somehow moved, got loans that you actually paid back, got a job, and apparently live in your own place. seriously, i am glad (and surprised, im sure you know most of these stories dont actually end this way). you probably suffered and overcame more than most goons ever will, whether it was of your own doing or not.

but now you're in detroit living a life that im guessing is bottom of the food chain of real adulthood. your car exploded. its not exactly surprising you arent "happy" lol. rewelcome to real life. but just remember where you were (making GBS threads blood in a library) and where you got to in a short amount of time. make this poitn in your life as desperate as the last one and proceed to make as big of a jump as you just did in as short amount of time as possible.

or dont, but you know you can.

You should leave the cats where they are. You can't even cook yourself dinner without loving up. Focus on learning to take care of yourself before ruining the lives of other living creatures, by forcing them to live with your incompetent rear end.
