I did love when he showed everyone how crayons were made!

I didn't love how he played with puppets....and did the high pitched voice for Lady Elaine.

It was the best kids show ever. And have you ever read about how fucking NICE he was in real life?? I seriously teared up reading it AND I HAVE A HEART OF STONE so you know that shit is legit.

I've not read up on him...I just assumed he was a creeper like Pee Wee!

For the record, Pee Wee's arrest had zilch to do with kids. He was jerking off in a porno theater, which is a little gross. But isn't that what you're supposed to do when watching porn?

I love Pee Wee. So much.

[jojoandleo]

I am going to preface this by saying I am in a very bad emotionalplace about pets right now:

DO NOT GET A FUCKING DOG! You cannot afford it. I just spent $2000 on my poor baby Leo and he had to be put down today because his Kidney Failure was too advanced. He wasn't eating, and he was just vomiting. YOU CANNOT AFFORD ONE! There are hidden expenses. Oh, $25 bag of food every 2 weeks, yeah, until your dog turns out to have intestinal problems and it becomes $50 a week, plus money for medication. Heartworm meds: $150 for a 3 month supply. Flea and tick drops-same. That's an extra $100 PER MONTH on medications EVERY DOG NEEDS. What if yours has special needs? Find that dog a home that is stable and can afford him. He deserves someone who can afford to pay the random expenses that WILL pop up. Do not get him so you can learn fucking responsibility. He is a living breathing animal, not a bag of flour for health class you pretend is a baby. Learn it without possibly fucking up a pet's life.

My family nickname came about because my sister loved Pee Wee. Nearly 30 yrs later I cannot escape it. Some of my nieces do not know my real first name lol.

[jojoandleo]

Did you factor in his yearly shots/exams? Did you factor in treats, the occasional toy, a crate, a dog bed, the food/water bowls, he will need a collar and a leash, are you going to have him chipped? Is he neutered? What about if he tears shit up in your house? Are you going to take him to training classes? Do you have carpet cleaner for the occasional accidents? What about if you go out of town? Do you know a good boarding place or have a friend who will sit? he will have to be vaccinated for kennel cough then and those places cost some money as well.

DO NOT GET A DOG TO TEACH YOU TO BE RESPONSIBLE! BE FUCKING RESPONSIBLE AND GODDAM STABLE AND THEN GET A DOG.

I love the original playhouse. And the recent HBO special. And the movies.

Thor and I just watched Big Top PeeWee thus weekend. Not nearly as good as the Big Adventure, but still really fun.

Can't be any worse than the time I made them watch Little Monsters!!

[blondnearby]

How do you guys not see exactly what she is doing?? It is the same thing she did with the tattoo and piercings. She is adopting the pug because she is rewarding herself for finally acting like an adult. Wow, too bad the world just simply doesn't work that way. Where is my freaking puppy for rearranging my entire budget with two kids and finding a home for us in 3 weeks? Oh wait that's right, it would be the last thing I need to add to the stress and its the last thing you need to add to your life.

You keep asking us to focus on what you have done so far, but the simple fact of it all is that with your codependency issues, three to four months of hard work will not change your ways. Codependency is like an addiction and sadly, I see you in a similar mess you were in before in the future if you continue to make the decisions you are making.

Sorry I am not here to offer you a good job or a pat on the back. Act like an adult.

Yeah....so I remembered it all cute and fun and really awesome....turns out it's pretty disturbing and filled with really foul language! Not the best parenting moment I've had! My DD was scared and convinced her baby brother to sleep in her room to protect her that night!

Liubot, I hope you seriously reconsider getting the dog.

I'm not going to touch the thing with you moving in with J, since you obviously (hopefully?) seem to know that it's not the best choice right now. But you're doing it anyway, so.. meh.

The dog, oh my. You're working 2 jobs. You've said that you and J are on different schedules. But really, how much time are you going to be able to spend with the dog? Is J going to/willing to pick up the slack when you're not around at all? A dog isn't something that can just be ignored and be able to take care of itself.

I'm sure you want that 'responsibility' and something to make you accountable, but an animal isn't something that you should 'test' that out on right now. You've been struggling enough with trying to take care of yourself. Hell, you could barely feed yourself just a couple weeks ago. And even then, at one point you were hoping you could raid your mom's place for provisions.

I commend you on taking on another job and trying to be proactive with your budgeting. But I really don't think you're in a place yet where you can take on the responsibility of an animal on top of everything else.

Yeah, I didn't see a board full of people saying "Great ideas! Move in with J even though you were recently crushing on a coworker and you really haven't worked on your codependency issues and this right here proves it. Plus, learning to be responsible with an innocent animal that takes time,money and attention is an awesome idea, especially since you are struggling, are not in a stable place, and have no idea how much money REALLY goes in to having a dog."

We all see she is trying to justify these bad ideas due to her recent good ones. Life does not work that way. Bad ideas are just that-bad.

I was young 6? 7? when I saw Little Monsters and I was tempted to saw the legs off all our beds. Oh, and my sister and I slept on a pull out at our dad's for this transition period. It was terrifying. I didn't want to get kidnapped and turned into a monster! Besides, Fred Savage needed to get home to Winnie!

Am I the only one that thinks she probably moved in with him the last time she brought it up but because we all gave her so much shit about it that she said she didn't? And now that she has been making responsible decisions lately she thought maybe we wouldn't give her so much shit now.....

Yep, I thought this a while ago when she was suddenly subletting a cousin's apartment.

She's a brick wall when it comes to men. She has not made good decisions there lately or for a while. We have told her she needs to be single and not to date J and pointed out red flags, but, she's going to do what she is going to do. I just hope she doesn't end up in another situation like XBF, but my spidey senses are tingling. The man 1) wants to date her RIGHT AFTER getting abused by her ex 2) doesn't take no for an answer 3) wants her to move in right away 4) has no reaction to her emotionally cheating on him-I smell control issues.

[jojoandleo]

OH, and he is going to fix her finances when his are out of whack? Yeah... He wants control over her financially too.

I actually had a Jr. High teacher named Mr. Rogers who got arrested for being a pedophile. That's all I can associate that name with anymore.

Are you from the Chicago area? I think some of your posts have lead me to believe you are. If so, we went to the same Jr. High!

ITA. There were no options for her and then she magically found this new option with subletting from her cousin. She's been living with J for a while now. I call MUD on all of her "progress."

Here comes the train.....choooochoooo!!!!

Alcohol is an extra. You don't NEED alcohol. IF you do, you NEED AA or counselling. Phone can be cheaper. What plan do you have? If you can get a cheaper one, that still meets your text/talk needs (if you have internet at home or work, you don't more than likely don't need data.), what is "furniture"? Are you renting to own? Try to save 100$ of that "extra" each month. Extra isn't actually extra. If you spend all of that, and you have way higher bills the next month for some reason, beyond your allotted extra, you are screwed.

Also;
You need to budget for your dog. He isn't extra, or food, or whatever. He is "insert name here."

So, in reality, your budget could look like this and still be very livable;


$1,600.00
Housing $800.00
Loans $300.00
Phone $50.00
Bus $30.00
Dog $60.00 (since he said he would help you.)

Furniture $50.00
Aaron's $75.00

Savings $100.00

Xtra… $170



At the end of the month, see if you have any extra left over from ANY category. That goes straight into savings, or can roll over into the next month.

Fess up Liubot, did you move in with J already?
