Good dude, leans slightly left, hates both sides, very candid.

 

These posts will help shed some light on his plight...

 

I'm a cheap mother focker. I'll drive past a restaurant or a fast food joint when I'm hungry to eat ramen or a $0.99 can of soup at home. Tires are bought at a junkyard, same as most car parts when needed. If there's a movie I'm dying to see, I'll watch a crap copy online rather than go to a theater and watch it on a big screen. I'll splurge on a big ticket item, only after waiting years for the price to come down.

Last splurge was one of them new "big screen" TVs everyone was talking about... last year. Got a 65" 1080p on clearance, at Walmart, for $470 something plus tax. That's a splurge. Looking for a smaller one, 32" or so, for the bedroom... which will likely come off of Craigslist at tax time, when someone else upgrades theirs. When I need clothes, first place I check is Goodwill in a better neighborhood. When I pack a lunch for work, it's usually something to snack on from the dollar store. Spend probably $5-6 a week on lunch while working 6-8 shifts a week. I actually buy lunch while at work probably twice a year.

 

I did. It was a 36", not some tiny little thing. Heavy as fock though. Saving up for stuff like electricity, water, gas, car insurance, got a vehicle that needs fixed or replaced... you know, stuff like that. Wife's got medical problems, piling up bills on that. Bankruptcy leaves me $179 a week plus overtime. Usually get 10+hrs of overtime, but no guarantees there. Some weeks I'll get 60+ hrs, others just under 40.

I've posted before, I'm just a few miles outside of the ghetto... in more ways than one. I'm in what used to be a good area, now it's below average. Whole area is low income, and low cost of living.

 

Lost my job (downsized), got another at 2/3rds of the pay, then lost that one when the company folded. Off for close to a year before getting another low paying job. Wife then lost her job, took quite a while to find something part time. She then got her hours cut to about 10hrs a week. She found a better job, 30+hrs a week at Walmart. Yeah, Walmart was a step up. I had an accident somewhere in there and spend 4 months on comp at $680 a month income.

I've had 7-8 raises in the past 4yrs, and still make less than most here joke about as low pay. There's eight people in my household, half of which bring in zero income. One daughter has a job, another is on disability. We spent about a year going under at around $100 a week before we had to stop making house payments. We then filed for bankruptcy before we lost the house. Now, we usually have an extra $100 or so at the end of the month, until something goes wrong, like the vehicle I mentioned.

The wife's medical bills are new, not on the bankruptcy. We're in the hole an extra $5-6k from that in the last couple of months. And yes, that's with health insurance.

Hopefully I didn't overstep here Rholio, wanted people to understand who you were though.
This thread always left a mark on me, before, I just though you were a miserable s.o.b.. After reading this thread, I got it..

Seems like a pretty good dude and poster overall. Which is rare around here so I'm pulling for him :thumbsup:

He has been posting since 2010 and my awareness is higher than that of a hamster so yes I recognize him all the time. Seriously guys, you engage in thousands of conversations but remember maybe 5-7 names (the same ones that get “nominated” for goty in those dumb threads.). It’s sad (not the nomination, the lack of awareness).

 

Now, since he’s not a blustering blowhard or blatant liar I can’t recall specifics of his life or anything. He’s just a normal person.

I know we had this exchange once....



Atheists are the biggest idiots of the group... if they're right, nothing for everyone. If they're wrong, we go to Heaven and they go to Hell. Smart choice.

Or maybe there is a God, but it's not YOUR God, and you're still going to Hell. Smart Choice.

Honestly, even with his sickness that’s exactly what he should be doing.

Jesus, sounds like things have been rough for he and his family for a while. As sh!tty as this place can be, I hope he's found some solace posting or reading something over the years.

 

Outside of hanging out with rabidly political, petty middle aged men, what do you enjoy doing rholio?

Not a single "He groped me" comment? For shame, gentleman, for shame.

We are slacking. That would of been great.
