This is all the money I have left in my bank account. I am a student with a part time low paying job, but I am barely keeping my head above water. I still owe people a ton of money from when I had to borrow last month to be able to afford food.
I don't waste or spend money at all, so I don't think I can cut any corners there. The only thing I actually spend money on is food, and it's mostly ramen and the occasional piece of fruit so I don't get scurvy. If this keeps up in it's current form I will just dig myself further and further into a hole. I have been trying to look for another job that pays better but in the current market I have had no luck.
ATOT is usually harsh in judgment, and I respect that, but I was wondering if I could ask for your help and advice on the very serious matter of feeding myself for the next month. Thank you, and god bless you all.
2 days ago, you were looking to buy a powerbook for $500.

There's a difference between you, Olds, and JohnCU - Olds was being clever, but posted a genuine topic, while a "parody" of the thread title alone. JohnCU was so clever that no one even noticed his thread - he posted a thread that's reposted every 3 or 4 weeks here - a valid thread topic).
Your thread, on the other hand, is a thinly veiled parody. And, if there was any doubt that you meant it as a parody, a quick glance at your recent history should remove that doubt. You posted a parody of a thread in the wrong forum (which by itself was harmless & even very slightly amusing), you posted a parody of the non-returned television, and you posted a thread about finding "black friday" to be an offensive term, a parody of ATOT effect needed (everyone fill a 2 liter bottle to save some village in the Neatherlands)... and that's only going back about 2 weeks. Not to mention the two parodies you created which fell under the "flooding the forums" rule.
Olds & JohnCU were walking that thin line that I alluded to in another mod message. You have clearly crossed it. In the interests of preserving harmony in OT, I am not vacationing you this time. This is simply because so many people can't see the difference between this thread & the thread Olds' created (and the JohnCU thread that you all overlooked). You can consider this a warning that you are skating on very thin ice; next time you may not be so lucky.
