Happy Atheist Forum

As of right now, I have no food. Well not NO food, but no good food. Mostly ramen, and canned food.  :verysad:

Return the plasma TV. But if the TV is more important to you than food, then enjoy the TV and don't enjoy food.

Bus. Walk. Bike.

Car's aren't the only way!

:]


Where did you get money to get a plasma tv?

Food's all well and good... But can I play my N64 on it?

I suppose I could try my hand at hunting, I have a bow... Does anyone know how to make arrows?  

Quote from: "omfgzmariah"Where did you get money to get a plasma tv?

I said quite clearly that I spent my food money on it.

I make about 600 dollars a month, sometimes more... Sometimes less. Usually enough to get by.

, Food money doesn't answer my question. What do you do to get money? Where does it come from?

Like I said, you get to make a choice based on what's more important to you.

I can make arrows and even a bow in various ways from very tooled to the MacGyver method (shoe string and a knife carved piece of wood for the bow and arrows with heads of rocks and thin pieces of wood for the fletching). What do you have in the way of tools and materials?

Are you normal looking with a strong stomach? Gigolos for older women can turn in $300 a trick, $500 to $600 a night. Seriously two people I know have turned to the sex trade for complimentary income one is a 21yo female student the other is a fit 46(?)yo submissive bi-male. Mind you to make it work you have to be around a lot of people. You like to chat, you can escort without 'fringe benefits' for $100 an evening and you don't even have to pay for the meal!

If it's any consolation, I'd pay for your listed problems to be my biggest  

Quote from: "Byronazriel"I suppose I could try my hand at hunting, I have a bow... Does anyone know how to make arrows?  

You probably don't need arrows, many domestic animals are very trusting.
Have you thought about setting up a pigeon trap?
You could pluck feathers while watching TV.
And there's always flat meat.

Are you serious? You're looking for advice on how to make money fast, in order to buy food. Skip the TV and buy food. Also, start saving money each month. Find a job or two, or three and bike to work.

Quote from: "McQ"Are you serious? You're looking for advice on how to make money fast, in order to buy food. Skip the TV and buy food. Also, start saving money each month. Find a job or two, or three and bike to work.

That, OR you can beg your relatives until they hook you up just to make you shut up  

(No, that's NOT a good piece of advice)

I'm with the rest of the group in that buying a tv instead of food isn't the brightest move.  Perhaps a smaller TV and food is a way to go.  Hunting isn't practical unless you know how to dress your kill.  Bow hunting would require a great deal of energy with very poor results, thereby resulting in burning more calories than you could replace.

As I see it you have three choices that seem the most logical:  Get a job, return the TV, or go hungry.

Eat your TV and quit griping.

Quote from: "Martin TK"Bow hunting would require a great deal of energy with very poor results, thereby resulting in burning more calories than you could replace.

Actually, if you are good and have a nice compound bow, it doesn't take THAT much. Depends on what you hunt, of course, but compound bows are not heavy to hold while drawn and are thus easy to aim and less cumbersome than composite bows or ye old regular bows.

Quote from: "omfgzmariah"lol, Food money doesn't answer my question. What do you do to get money? Where does it come from?

I'm an Author, I also do freelance work. This can usually get me between 400 and 1000 dollars a month, I get a check from my publisher on the first. If need be I can get a forward from them, or get a loan... But I don't like spending money I don't have, I've managed to keep out of debt so far.

I also have a knack for poker which usually lands me about 50-100 dollars a month.... Not a terribly reliable way to earn money however. Especially since people seem to be catching on to my usual card counting/slight of hand routine!   :hide:

We don't get pidgeons up here, only lots of crow and gulls. Corvids are notoriously clever, with good reason! I knew an old crow that would curse at you. Had quite a vocab too, all the good ones.

Seagulls aren't very good, but their eggs sure are! But you need to go out to their rocks, and that's far too much of a hassel.

We do have grouse out in the woods, and they're all kinds of stupid.

Flat meat?

I'm a squeamish, asexual, near shut-in with no social skills. What you're describing would be worse than going hungry for a week or so... by a wide margin.

I have a fully functional, the salesman assured me of that, french longbow. Modeled after one from the hundred years war.

It's for larping reasons, mostly renaissance faires. I've fired it before, it's killer on the back...

Quote from: "Byronazriel"As of right now, I have no food. Well not NO food, but no good food. Mostly ramen, and canned food.  :verysad:

There are practical answers to these problems, but you don't need practical answers.  You have like a gazillion gods.  Just pray to all of them and at least one of them will solve your problems for you.

uhmmmmm... what's wrong with ramen noodles?  Most college aged kids LIVE on them.  Heck, broke out of work engineers live on them!  Been there, done that and have a case in the pantry right now.  I can do so many things with ramen it's ridiculous.

The following advice is coming from someone who has grown up with nearly nothing and in adult life lived through near bankruptcy, loss of income, loss of nearly everything...

First, this TV thing..... WHY?  Is the latest greatest toy the only thing that will satisfy you?  If so, you need to look deep and examine why.  I have a regular old tube style TV, it works just fine, the video games still play on it so do movies.

Second..... writing doesn't pay the bills well enough for your taste in gadgets.  Time to get a steady reliable job, even if it is flipping burgers at McD's.  Yes the job market is tough right now but it's still doable.  Get a bike a ride to work.

Third.....  Food is a priority for living.  Learn to budget and learn to find deals in the reduced meat/produce bins, I haven't paid full price for a steak in YEARS, neither should you.  I feed the 2 of us on $75 a month, sometimes $100 if I find a really good deal on something I can stick in the freezer or can.

Fourth.... Find a budgeting/economics class and take it, you need it.  Many times these can be free community service classes, take advantage of them.

Fifth.... cut the excuses, for those of us who have been there or know better... they don't work on us.

Ideas for quick cash though..... blood plasma, they used to pay $20 every visit.  Then there is sperm donation..... if you can handle that.  $20 should buy you a week or 2 of food if you shop right.

Not really good for hunting. Requires great stamina reserve and/or even greater skill. Modern day bows with a system of wheels and strings and all the nicities do a far better job of close to medium range hunting.

I'll trade you biggest problems.  I'm also a freelance writer of about the same income range but I'm disabled.  I'd never spend my money on a big TV instead of essentials like food or meds.  

I'd suggest you join Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/Kylyssa) and plop down some bloggish material there.  I get about $100-$175 a month from that source with very little effort.  I even write for Squidoo when I'm out of my mind with fever because there's no editor or client to give a damn if I ramble or not.  The "lenses" keep bringing in income from month to month.  You can see what kind of things I have up there on my lensmaster page. (http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Kylyssa)  The outlay of effort is small and the income, while small, is steady.

If you aren't already ghost writing, I'd strongly recommend it.  If you are writing full-time and only making what I do in a couple of hours a day, you need to re-think who you are working for.

... How do you survive on 400 - 1000 a month?
Do you live with your parents?

This whole thing smells very wrong, sorry.

Thanks for telling us that you cheat at cards. Your biggest problem is that you're an admitted cheat and liar. As a poker player myself I think you deserve the miserable state you find yourself in.

Myself, I smoked a big rack of baby-back ribs last night, using my own dry rub and home-made BBQ sauce. The meat was juicy and so tender it almost fell right off the bone. Absolutely delicious. I was stuffed! I'll eat the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow.

Quote from: "omfgzmariah"... How do you survive on 400 - 1000 a month?

I rent, it helps that I also do chores. I'm pretty much their pack mule...

My mom's not exactly the most reliable of sorts... Alcoholic psycho woman.

I'm not exactly on speaking terms with my father.

It's not that big, only 43 inches. I have food... Mostly ramen and canned food like peas, cream corn, and beans. I'd just really rather prefer having real food.

Mostly it's that I get rather distressed when I don't get my usual order of clam chowder, fried mushrooms, and diet soda on wednesdays at 3:19... I've never given it much thought, it's just an important part of the things that I  DO each week!  :cool:

Quote from: "Byronazriel"You do what you're good at... So what if I can keep count? No worse than a person winning at trivial persuit because they already know the answer to every card! Not in the spirit of the game, but not technically against the rules.

Also, liar is such a harsh word. I prefer to think of it as... Creative truth management.

"Not technically against the rules?" Absolute bullshit.

Obviously you don't give a damn about anyone while claiming the right to do and say anything you want without having to consider the possible consequences.

There's nothing I hate more than anyone who cheats at poker. But in your case I encourage you to go on cheating at poker, I want you to. Please, do it as a personal favor.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"I have food... Mostly ramen and canned food like peas, cream corn, and beans. I'd just really rather prefer having real food.

Sounds like a really good meal (or several) to me, considering I'm eating a barley stew right now with foods that I had to cook from dry goods instead of the quick and easy canned goods.  Took all damn day and I'm proud that I'm able to put food on the table.  And newsflash... canned goods and ramen are real food, it's the crap in the candy/chip aisle that are not.  
Your the guy who opted for the overpriced TV instead of buying additional food, so quit complaining, beggars can't be choosers.   I'm opting to pay the mortgage and light bill and not complain about what I put together for food.  I eat it and am happy I had a meal because I know all to well what it's like to go without.

Listen, it's not like I go into casinos or rip off little old ladies...

I just make a bit of pocket money sitting in on poker night with some of the local toughs. They're the lot who break windows, and nick charity bins. Not exactly harmless, but I couldn't see them starting anything too nasty. Not yet anway, slippery slopes and all that.

At least they stopped letting me deal or shuffle...

I don't even bring my own cards, they use the same kind that can be bought at the local gas sation...

I can think of eight things I hate more than cheaters, off the top of my head!

I could make a list, if you want.

I can understand the canned foods, but ramen is in no way real food. It can be described as: Water, Salt, and and Empty Carbs. It's not even proper ramen, I've had proper ramen.

Also, my TV was not overpriced... It was reasonably priced at only 350 dollars, slightly used.  

Of course 350 dollars was almost half my money... Before bills.

And I  do pay my bills, and I stay out of debt. I know my financial obligations, and I do what I can to meet them each month. I'm just having trouble going about my usual methods, and didn't get as much from my publisher as I was expecting.

I posted a sign saying I could do yardwork down at the gas station, I might be able to make twenty bucks or so doing that.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"I posted a sign saying I could do yardwork down at the gas station, I might be able to make twenty bucks or so doing that.

I really hope the writing you put up here isn't an example of the writing you do for a living.

On second thought, I want it to be.

Quote from: "i_am_i"Obviously you don't give a damn about anyone while claiming the right to do and say anything you want without having to consider the possible consequences.

I believe in universal balance, and the afterlife... I consider the consequences of my actions.

I'd describe my dealings as morally ambiguous, but I play with the same people every week and they know that I'll come out of it ahead... Yet they still let my play every single time.

It's a mutual thing, a symbiotic relationship. I get a few bucks, maybe twenty if I was pushing it, and they get a good storyteller and I'm the only one who knows how to make spinach dip just the way they like it. So it all balances out.

That couldn't be my writings... There's hardly any ninja, elves, magic, or steampowerd contraptions!

Quote from: "Byronazriel"Also, my TV was not overpriced... It was reasonably priced at only 350 dollars, slightly used.  

Everything that is non-essential, is overpriced when you pay more than a penny for it.  You can survive and thrive without your TV.

Your food on the other hand is priceless, you can never have enough food, and without it you will die.

I think you've just pinpointed the reason why you're making such a lousy income as a writer.

A person can get by on that amount.  If you have no dependents and roommates, it's tight but workable.  In my case, however, there's no leftover money for "luxuries" like medical care.

When you get right down to it nothing is essential.

I made my choice when I spent my food money on the TV, knowing that it might lead to about a week without food. And at the very worst I'll go a week or so without food! I may not be a doctor, but it seems to me that I could easilly survive that long without food. I just don't want to, hence my problem.

I can always get more when my check comes in, and I've got enough food to last until the nineteenth. I just need a way to make at least eighty bucks by then.

Flat meat is road-kill, see The Simpsons Hit & Run.

Bah, road kill isn't a very sporting way of getting meat.

I'm not a vulture, if I was a bird I'd be a kiwi... Or a cassowary, maybe a magpie, or a rook. Perhaps a roadrunner.

The only thing I can think of is to move to California, and I don't have the money to do that... Also it would be far too hot, and earthquakey there.

Why aren't there more anime channels?  

Oh my fucking wah.  Firstly, you are complaining about food when you have a brand new television, premium Dish channels and 3 sodas a day.  Secondly, you think you're going to save money moving to Cali?  Wow.  It's not even the earthquakes, move to Sacramento or north of it (ANYWHERE north of it) and you don't have to worry about them.  Plus, if you're south of the mountains, you don't have to worry about volcanoes (considering Rainier caused enough quakes to get my Grandpa to move, this is ironic anyway).  Ridiculous.  I'll tell you a secret.  If you want really cheap living not too far from you, you don't even have to leave the state, just move to Plymouth, Benton County.

I don't have a new TV, it hasn't come in yet.

Moving to California was for the anime, you can't get much cheaper than 150$ a month plus TIP.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"you can't get much cheaper than 150$ a month plus TIP.

Yes you can.  It's called UTorrent.

...I can't live on the intarwebz, I'm not freakazoid.  

You don't have to live there, just download what you need and stream it to that new TV you're about to get.

...A: I wouldn't know how to do that, and B: I hate downloading videos. They always suck.

So in an economic mess like many find themselves in at the moment, where trying to find money for the mortgage, groceries and light bill are the top of the got to have list, you're worried about not getting 3 sodas a day and anime channels?

Oh to have so few problems

No it's not.  Possession of films for which you haven't purchased the original is.

Quote from: "PoopShoot"No it's not.  Possession of films for which you haven't purchased the original is.

I believe it depends on the country somewhat, but as far as I know, here, it's the P2P bit that's the first illegal step. "Sharing of copy-protected media or parts thereof without proper autorisation" or some such.

In the USE you can download any copyrighted material for which you've purchased an original, provided that you only have one electronic copy and only one redundant copy burned.  In Canada, it's only illegal to upload.

Oh, I CAN download a safety copy. I can not, however, share it with others in theprocess - not legally.

Still, I don't think my country has enough laws to actually do something to those of us who disregard it. Me, I just protect the moneybags' rights to be moneybags.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"...A: I wouldn't know how to do that, and B: I hate downloading videos. They always suck.

Get a program called Tversity media server. Just connect your xbox to the network and you can then view any audio or video files through the network on your TV. It is very easy to use.

Only torrent video files which are close to, or more than a gigabyte in size. The quality will then be near perfect.

If you're going to do that, you can stream netflix.  IDK how it works with the Xbox, but the Wii has a built in streaming feature and so does the PS3.

Quote from: "Thumpalumpacus"Eat your TV and quit griping.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"As of right now, I have no food. Well not NO food, but no good food. Mostly ramen, and canned food.  :verysad:

drink water and only eat once a day until your next check.

it's your fault and it's part of growing up.

I've done shit like that with my money at the beginning of adulthood too.

I can't sleep. I thought I was being tormented by a ghost, and I was scared out of my mind. I almost threw up I was so frightened... It turned out that my cat turned on the TV in the living room somehow.

But it really bothered me. I dust every entrance to my house with salt, cover every mirror not in use, and burn anything that might have caught ghosty energy... But after hearing the commotion in the other room, I started thinking about what I could have missed... And before writing this an idea hit me: What if it really was a ghost, and it turned on the TV so I'd let my gaurd down and it could... Do whatever it is that ghosts do. Throw knives, and make the walls bleed. That kind of stuff.  :verysad:

Man, you need to get over to the Dudeism thread.

Nah.  Luigi just bought his vacuum from pudding.

I've noticed I'm peeing a lot... Like ten or twelve times today, normally it'd be somewhere around five.

Should I be worried about this?

There is this old, about 30 second old piece of folk wisdom that may help.

If it's clear,
you're OK dear
If it's red,
you'll soon be dead
If you can't hold,
you're getting old.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"I've noticed I'm peeing a lot... Like ten or twelve times today, normally it'd be somewhere around five.

Should I be worried about this?

Yes. Go to the doctor. Any change in bodily operation should be investigated. I was peeing and drinking a lot for quite a while before I was diagnosed diabetic. If I had gone to the doc earlier while in a pre-diabetic state I could possibly have avoided the full onset or at least delayed it for 5 to 10 years.

If someone is drinking more water they will obviously have to pee more.  I could be wrong, but I would think it is only a sign of pre-diabetes or some other issue if one suddenly becomes more thirsty than normal and then drinks more thus causing more peeing.  Though, from what I know about the transition into diabetes it's not something that should be associated with sudden symptoms.

That all said, my general rule of thumb is that if you are worried about something related to your health go see a doctor...even without insurance the 75 to 100 doc visit is worth the peace of mind if you are well and really worth it if treatment is required.

My addiction to coffee.  I've seen conflicting research about the pros/cons of coffee.  Anyone wanna drop their 2c in my fresh boiling cup of delicious death?

I say don't go to the doctor if you're worried about something wrong with your body. Use that money to buy some N64 games to play on your new TV!
/sarcasm

Also, If you think you're giving youself an edge "counting cards" while playing poker, you're sadly misguided. 50-100 bucks a month playing poker... Big LOL for that one.

Is this a trollish thread?  

Counting is just part of my process, trimming the fat before I fry the meat basically.

This is really more of a whiney thread.  

Quote from: "Byronazriel"I've noticed I'm peeing a lot... Like ten or twelve times today, normally it'd be somewhere around five.

Should I be worried about this?

The possibilities include UTI (Don't dip your pen in company ink - the results can be... itchy   ), the beginnings of a wonderful kidney stone, the beginnings of a renal failure, viral and bacterial infections, a few other non-infectious conditions, intake of too much coffee, beer or mineralized water...

Just peeing a lot has a VERY long differential diagnosis. Get to a medical professional to shorten it a bit.

Quote from: "Byronazriel"I've noticed I'm peeing a lot... Like ten or twelve times today, normally it'd be somewhere around five.

Should I be worried about this?

Hell yes you should be worried about it! You should be really, really worried about it. It should keep you up all night worrying about it.

Worried? Hell, terrified is more like it! You may well be soon for the shroud, young man. I'd start getting my affairs in order if I were you.

I just got back from the doctor's, and they tell me that peeing all the time is a perfectly normal consequence of drinking nothing but coffee and diet pepsi...

They gave me a pamphlet about proper hydration, and told me to come back in a few weeks if there's no change.

For god's sake, man, get a second opinion!

My cat wont let me brush his teeth, is there any way I can convince him to sit still for a bit?

Put him in the freezer overnight.

Tie it up inside of a plastic garbage bag for about 20 or 30 minutes and he will remain as still as you could possibly want for as long as you could want. Oh and as a bonus this will be the last time you ever need to brush his teeth.






Please don't actually be this dumb it's a joke

... or at least tie a knot in it.

Chip off a tiny bit from a xanax and put it in their food.  They'll be really mellow for about an hour.
