Never seen the show but the books are great.

I watched those reruns till 3 this morning and didn't get any sleep. But was I was watching them last night and this morning (ye gad), I was wondering about the type of person who might read the books, so your comment is both ironic, and enlightening. The series is pretty good and available on Youtube. Cheers.

I just realized I'm wearing my Ron Swanson bacon and eggs shirt. It's dark and I'm too lazy to get up and turn the light on for a pic, but here's the gist of it:

Just goes to show you that anything can become a topic of interest. This could go on all night. Be amazed!

 

[ChristopherASA]

You've got to deeply care about something or life's not worth livin', man.

Ain't that the truth.

 

[Vanyanka]

Hmmm? I told people how to pronounce my name in a different thread.

Very kind of you, @aturkerhiding. ... Haven't left your house in a week? Depression, or boredom or what, if I may ask.

circumstances. I bought a car 6 months or so ago. My sister and her brother in law have a lot of financial problems and didn't have a car. I moved in with them, they take my car all day to go to work and pick up the kids and stuff. I'd leave, but I'm new to the area, and I give them all my money so they can pay the bills and buy food. I literally work 15-18 hours a day to float them right now. I enjoy the work actually, I relate it in a lot of ways to video games...but damn, I could use a day off, a trip to the grocery store, something. I was talking (emailing) my sister about it today...It's actually been more like 3 or 4 weeks that I've left the house for anything other than taking them to or from work, or picking the kids up from school. I make a lot more money than most turkers, but at the expense of hours at the computer...without it, we would all literally be homeless.

They got evicted from their expensive apartment right when I moved in (it was only supposed to be very temporary) We lived in a hotel for a month at 100 a day. Our only option was to find a private landlord that wouldn't check credit. The only place we found was 3500 sq. feet, 2000 a month plus utilities, paying to have the yard mowed each week (because that was only 35 a week and we couldn't scrape together 200 for a lawnmower all at once) When you struggle, you pay late fees. Last week, my sister incurred over 400 in overdraft fees from her bank, plus late fees on utilites, cable, etc.

I was having trouble finding a job...my sister mentioned one night she would do surveys. I was like...I'll do mturk. I hadn't done it since 2014, and when I first started doing it, I only did it for a few months before getting burned out. I'm over a month in, and doing things a lot different this time around. I'm making enough money that I enjoy it for the most part, but I still feel like a slave to an oppressor. Having adults in your family that act like children is frustrating to say the least.

But they have two great kids, a dog, a bird, and the appearance of a healthy life. Maybe I'm enabling them, maybe I'm keeping their kids from a homeless shelter. I struggle with all of this, plus my own problems everyday.

How do you pronounce your name?

I guess this egg train's just gonna keep on rolling until someone derails it.

It's true, I'm at parts of the internet I never knew existed now just because we started talking about eggs...

 

[ChristopherASA]

I'm glad you're feeling better! And we can stop talking about eggs if it will help any. Whatcha drinking tonight?

I love eggs. Hope my friend shows up tonight or tomorrow with the three dozen I asked them to get me. I have none right now, and I'm going thru egg withdrawal. I swear, one day a couple of months ago, I made myself what must have been SEVEN cheese and onion omelets: I could not stop eating them.

You are a good person for wanting to help them out. I hope you are soon able to better your own circumstances. It's good to find something that is just for yourself so take some time to do that when yo are able and continue to do the best that you can. Best wishes to you and better days are ahead.

That is a lot to take on. Stay strong and get outside when you can. Even a short walk makes a huge difference in my day.

That sort of counts as bacon.

Wow, man. Props to you for doing all this for your family. Definitely have to look out for your self though, too. You can't help others if your own needs are dwindling. Try to find a balance. It sounds like they might be taking a little bit of advantage of you, but we don't ever know all sides. Hopefully it's a situation where they can get on their feet and then repay the favor to you.

No, that's my natural skin tone.

Almost forgot your question! Bud Light. It's cheap.

I used to rock bud light all the time. Now it's more expensive, craft beer, but I drink less of it And it's delicious. Not that I don't enjoy a nice, frosty bud light from time to time.
