<< Steak and salad.



<< Can't afford it >>


pls say you aren't being serious......
>>



Heh, well, I'm kind of serious. We have a few cans of old beans and stuff,
and a pack of ramen noodles, and I guess I could go find some change, and
walk down to get something to eat (TS Allison claimed my car, no insurance, had
to quit my job).

I've got $225 in the bank, $365 in checks. That's $590. I have a $250 power
bill (last month's check bounced by $1) and $277 in rent. That leaves me $63.
Then I have a cable modem bill which is $90, and the phone bill which will be
about $40, leaving me with $-67. My roomate is flat ass broke, he can't
pay his share of the rent (due on the 5th) or any bills. Ahhhh.........

Sorry, had to vent.

Hopefully I can go offshore soon. It's gonna get worse before it gets better.

Sorry. Well, at least I feel better now :)

PS, yes, I realize that I'm actually not very bad off compared to some people. I'm
not complaining, just venting...

No worries, everyone has to at times.
Good luck and I hope your situation improves soon.
btw, sounds like you could use a new flatmate also.

Chaotic42 - I really hope things get better for you soon, how the heck do you have a $250 electric bill? Why is your cable modem $90? If I were that strapped for cash I'd say screw cable TV and broadband internet, a $90 a month savings is pretty substantial. You do have a 56k modem, right?

Thanks, they will.



<< how the heck do you have a $250 electric bill? >>



I paid last month's bill, but it was for $109. I only had $108 in the bank, so
my check bounced. It got added to this month's bill.



<< Why is your cable modem $90? >>



That's totally my fault. The cable bill was in my car, so it's gone :)
That bill is also for 2 months.

Well, cable TV comes with the apartment, and my cable modem bill is $45/mo. It's
actually not that bad. I've been fine up until this month.



<<

Heh, nope.

I'm really appreciative of ya'lls concert, but I'll be ok. I'd be fine if my
roommate wasn't broke, but since I have the money to pay his share for now, I have
to do just that.

Anyway, isn't this thread about food, and not my problems? ;)
