I, being the one who called you a loser, will explain to you( I don't see a need to explain to others, as it seems they understood) why I said what I said. Given the facts as you yourself laid out for the whole world, or at least our little community to see.
In your first post you tell us the furnace in the camper you are living in doesn't work "when it gets cold"
that to me says it has been an on going problem that has needed attention, but, for some reason you only ask for help late at night, when most people are in or headed to bed.
Seems like a definite case of procrastination.
You want to hit it with a sledge, or at least a hammer as a 2.5(pounder I am assuming) isn't very big
You next tell us of community service, which means you have broken some law to have to do it to begin with.
you then tell us you have propane, so the money isn't an issue, then you tell us if you had money, you would have a "baddass truck, that don't break down on a monthly basis.
You then progress into can't feel my feet and so on. I don't think there is a parent here on this board that would allow their kid to stay in such conditions when it's that cold. You said he turned your room into something else, but, any parent would let their kid have a piece of floor, if it meant them staying warm and/or even alive. Something had to be going very wrong for them to not allow you into the home to be warm.
several folks write and give ideas on what you can do to stay warm. Your reply was if you had the $30 that was mentioned, you would buy booze, instead of fixing the problem, or doing something to keep you warm.
You tell us you wouldn't be living in the camper if you weren't as broke as you are. You don't get "broke in one day" it takes either a long run of bad luck or bad decisions to get there.
Then you wrote:
she, unlike me stayed in community college(where we met in Paint and auto body class), finished that course...has a scholarship for a machining course, is currently also taking welding course's, and is working at a body shop.....which would be the reason we aren't really together anymore....no time to do anything.....hmmmm wow man, i think ur right lol.....at the time we last broke up just in my defense, i was working painting construction equipment....and i was either at work, or drinking with my boss....so that took up most of my time lol....and i drove a jeep, which was always broke, so i wasnt able to make the drive to charlotte to go see her...........hows that work into ur summary? hahaha
oh yea...and to add to that, i got gift cards to gander mtn for xmas, was 50 bux short of getting the tactical shotgun i wanted (for "coon" hunting....come on i live in salisbury, theres plenty) and ended up comin out with a military taclight, a new knife and a semi auto pellet rifle, which i bought a police issue laser, and a red dot scope for......wtf is wrong with me lol
Kinda hard to feel bad for you when you loose your girl because she is going places and you can't afford to see her because you are out drinking with the boss and not fixing you Jeep, buying things with your gift cards that you wanted, not needed. When you could have bought some stuff to keep you warm at least. Or saved them until you had a need, like now.
So then comes the post where I stepped up and called you a looser.
you didn't help yourself when you admitted to dropping out of High School
You talk about the job market, and go on to explain what you are trained for. In my opinion, that's great, but if you can't get a job doing what you know, flipping burgers is far better than living off of someone else, far better than huddling in a camper and playing on the Internet, instead of doing something to better your situation.
You then apologize to everyone but me, I think I am the one you refer to as the faggot, since I am the one who called you a loser. I think a bad choice of adjectives, since my three kids and wife would defiantly prove that wrong. A better choice of description may be the Old decrepit, opinionated fourwheelin fool.
then onto the head issue. $168 was cheap for a valve job and pressure test. Seeing as pressure testing only puts about 40lbs psi to detect leaks, it's possible for it not to leak when tested. But in your defense it is unlikely. And for the record, I did work in an automotive machine shop, and the head work was what I mainly did day to day.
And what's up with calling out people to "cuss out" how mature is that?
then,..... you tell the world you want to stab the man who worked on your head. An award for stupid threats is coming your way!
but things are looking up, you have enough booze to keep you going for a while!
oh and another threat to the machine shop, you are going to go "fuck some things up"
And finally you ask how someone, me... can call you a loser because of the bad luck you are having.
It ain't the bad luck that makes you a loser, it's your continuing lack of respect for others and disregard of the facts that does. It's your kiss my ass attitude. It's your lack of acknowledgment of the bad choices you have made.
I stand behind my assertation of calling you a loser. Whether you decide to remain one is up to you. Sounds like you are at least on your way to employment, a good thing.
Why have I spent so much time writing this. No other explanation but that you remind me a lot of my oldest son. and for him, I have hopes that someday he will grow up. Someday he will learn that he needs to support himself. Someday that his priorities will change. Someday I can proudly introduce him to someone and say I am proud of his accomplishments. Someday as I wish for him, I also wish that you too will grow up, and do something with your life. And most importantly, I have hope that both you and my son, will make better choices with your life.
