If I didn't pass this fucking entrance exam test I don't know what I'm gonna do. These are questions I would know 10 years ago! Also I need to get a medical waiver approval to go to school
because they have every right to turn me away if it's mandatory to be vaccinated.
This scared the crap out of me when Heather Macdonald fractured her skull with two black eyes and passed out on stage from it with internal brain bleeding I believe. That's a fall you can die from. Plus there have been reports of heart issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sy2PkYwz4M

L has the gall to say he didn’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day because he was so busy tagging along on my trip he cancelled the dinner reservations same weekend and didn’t bother to reschedule or do anything else.
Well, I guess he thinks this is acceptable but little does he know, “if you come in this house empty handed - good luck getting sex for the rest of the month!”

L asked you to take him to return the car then told you that?? I would LOL at a side chick thinking she's being so helpful. Sure honey, sure.
My white trash neighbors act like straight up white trash. They stay in their homes in the winter....otherwise they grill (they've even asked another neighbor to use his grill, like you cannot afford coals for yours??), let their stupid ass kids drive their toy cars around on the lawn, have their shepherd dogs out, and those dogs bark and attack at people, upsetting MY dog. One time they brought their gun collection over to the rednecks downstairs, and rather than go inside, they showed them off there, with the downstairs neighbor who is currently dead/in the hospital holding up a fucking handgun and POINTING it in an apartment community...like what the fuck!
Sorry...yeah I hate when people can't maintain their living areas!! The white trash leave dog shit everywhere and cannot afford the poop bags, they use big walmart bags and leave them on the porch. Near their chest freezer which is also on the porch! Ew!!
Lol my neighbors the same way.
This mf is outside - ugh! (take your ass back where you belong … inside your home so I don’t have to see your ugly mug or hear you ranting to yourself like a crazy person) fixing up his busted car (bruh wtf this isn’t a car shop. If you removed the junk from your garage you’d have a place to fix your lemon out of sight.)
Trashy neighbors are annoying

I'm just generally annoyed with everything today ugh!
Firstly, I'm so not feeling V~day at all bc I'm losing interest in my bf FAST for a number of reasons.
Secondly, I really wish his mother would clean her dam house esp the kitchen area & the fridge bc other ppl here fucking live here too! It's so rude to over pack garbage you don't even eat into a fridge that's already full when others need to store their stuff in there too.
Also, I wish I didn't have to be woken up to her loud ass on the hone everyday gossiping to her friends about dumb shit.
I'm also annoyed that I spent too much this weekend on going out having fun & now I need to scrimp for the week :( ugh fml
P.s I really just HATE the energy in this apt from his mother, it's draining me even though I avoid her.

I am tired and I did not get much done today. Hubby came home early because they were overstaffed at work. So, I chilled with him instead of doing stuff. I need to get back at it tomorrow morning.
Also, I've been going back to bed after taking my shepherd out. Now that we are down a dog, it's so easy to get her out, feed her and the cat, and go back to bed. It's a bad habit, and the fact that it is single digits outside makes it hard to avoid crawling back in a nice warm bed.
Since getting Covid, everything tastes off?? I know that's a thing with the illness, but it's just...blah tasting. Even my most favorite foods that I've always loved. I keep losing weight because I don't want to eat and nothing tastes good, it feels like it is lacking flavor. It doesn't matter if it is yummy Mexican food, bakery items, or my favorite vegetarian meals, it all tastes gross, weird, or off.

Dear man at safe parking,
Please do not approach me and give me car gadget gifts that aren't really going to help me out anyway. I do not need you watching me at Starbucks, either. What I do there is my business. I am not here to bother anyone, nor do I want anyone to bother me. Please don't try to manipulate your way into my life.You giving me a small gift does not make you entitled to my energy. So please leave me alone.

I ask L to get rid of these old ugly ass shirts he has in his closets.
Rather than throw the shit away or listen when I tell him he would look better in something newer, more fashionable he's like "ill get rid of them if you get me new ones"
Boy bye! You have the gall to not get me anything for valentines day then ask me to buy something for you? Plus, I shouldn't have to pay you to want to look attractive.
Fuck you! I'm paying myself and upgrading myself. You can keep wearing those tattered rags and see how much sex you get....none!
That cute Valentine's post card I got him is going in the trash.

Going to have to buy a large, solid Ozium, if that'll even help (Ozium's one of the best sprays for odors, it'll actually an air cleaner spray prod).
I jusy put my better air cleaner machine in their too, almost made me VOM! >:(
Is Ozium safe around pets/kids? Also, what type of air cleaner machine you have???
The reason I ask is, the bitch downstairs was stress smoking her damn cowboy killers and then decided to make something with fresh onions....and we could smell it in the living room. I don't know HOW that was possible.
I'll try any ideas you have, cause this is ridic!

Safe Parking is a gated, secure parking lot in my city where homeless people living out of their cars go to sleep without being hassled by cops or other random homeless ppl. I'm staying there until I get enough $ for a new home.
I will talk to safe parking staff if this guy approaches me again. They'd rather have us talk with them and allow them to handle it than to have me deal with him myself.

I got nothing but lies and excuses as a gift for Valentines Day. I was unfortunately, not surprised when I went to exchange gifts, just to be told that mine "hadn't arrived yet". Every year he either gets me something last minute or the gift arrives "late". I told him exactly what I wanted as a gift. Showed him where to get it and told him a month ago, so he would have enough time to order it. I did everything except order it myself, and STILL NOTHING!!! I'm so tired of him not caring about me. I'm so tired of being told that I'm loved, but treated like garbage.
He fucked up when adding me to his insurance, so now I don't have any coverage through his employer. I need to see my eye doctor asap and I had to cancel my appointment because I had no coverage. I'm starting to think that he's doing things to hurt me on purpose. How is it that both kids got on the insurance just fine, but not me? And I'm the only one who actually NEEDS the vision portion, since I wear contacts. I think that it's time to reach out to my in-laws, because I'm pretty sure they will let his ass move in when I kick him out.

Girl welcome to the fuckery of “men who weren’t raised properly”
Anyways your husband has no excuse not to protect you and your family with the health insurance. That right there is sleep on the couch and/or move out worthy.
And as far as no Valentines. I got the same thing. He apologized but that won’t be good enough to make me forget. Then had the audacity to say he wants to eat my pussy. Um you will need to buy the gifts that you were supposed to buy before you even think about anything remotely sexual with me.

That's right, totally free from disturbance. I love listening to youtube videos with earphones and lip syncing to each song. My mouth is moving but no sound coming out, lmao.
It's okay if they look because I'm beautiful but keep it moving.
What's NOT okay is gawking, staring, leering, try to start a conversation or sitting too close to me. We are still in a pandemic, social distancing a MUST.
Even if there was no pandemic, there is never a need to be in other people's personal space.

Right! Costco has them, Amazon, etc. No need to buy something super expensive. Just depends on how large the space is that you'll be purifying. I always thought they were a scam, but we use ours during wildfire season, and it makes an enormous difference in air quality. Some are larger and nicer and work better than the tiny ones. Also keep an eye out for "HEPA-like filters" vs. true HEPA filters - stuff like that makes a huge difference in price.
If money isn't available to allocate towards something like that, then perhaps opening a window is your best bet. I personally can't stand air fresheners, as it just makes me feel like I'm inhaling two toxic substances instead of one, and the smells are more awful when combined - like floral-scented poop. I'd rather open a window, leave the area, or wear a mask as a filter.

Nice and sweet is so overrated. Niceness/sweetness doesn't mean goodness. Of course we don't want a guy that is asshole but what I prefer in a man is if he's actually kind.
Kind is who he is, his character. Nice is oftentimes used as manipulation tactic.

Got a jury duty summons. Going to let them know that I can't do it bc I can't afford to rn. You can use economic hardship as an excuse, so that is what I'll do.
Got another collection agent after me and wound up having to pay another old bill. $300. It's taking me forever to save up for a place so this is annoying but on the flip side, I have to pay off what's in collections so that my credit score goes up.

I got the air purifier from ebay, Ozium is not a typical spray. When I lived w/heavy smokers it came in handy, it also comes in a solid form, which I have in my bathroom to help foil the blunt (cigar paper:yuck:) smokers upstairs, which comes thru my vent.
Fresh air is ideal, since I've roomies they don't like it, hence the spray..no window in my bathroom.
Anything you'd have to be careful around kida/pets, but also you're not going to oversaturate spraying it anyway..
I also use mint essential oil mixed w/water.

Now if I say no I’m supposed to be the bad guy?
No fuck her. Last weekend we hosted your kids on a luxury hotel/outing. If you want to go out of town find but either take your kids with you or find arrangements that don’t require this house as the holding cell.
Hell I want a weekend without your kids too cotdamn it!
Yep his stupid ass keeps putting me in these situations. So if he has those kids over im going on a staycation or heck I may even ride out of town. Those kids will stay by themselves if they land over here or Bertha will learn to arrange proper childcare when she travels.

Maybe I wasn’t realistic.
I was hoping for $400-$500 a night 4-Midnight roughly... but on Mon., Tues., or Wed. ( my easiest days to make time for dancing ).

^^ @carmen Sometimes mid week can be better than weekends. I would reset, stay another night, give it another go. You're already there and who knows... Sometimes mid-week can be good. You just never know.
Had to cancel my credit card application with credit one. For one thing, it's been taking fucking forever for them to send me a card. For another thing, the customer service rep was rude and literally tried to rush me off the phone! I told the bitch to just cancel the damn thing. Hope her supervisors heard it. She was that damn rude.
Didn't sleep well last night, so I caught a few more hours of sleep outside the Starbucks. Part of me is frustrated. Been working so much but it's taking forever to save money for a home. I think I have one more account in collections to take care of and then I should only have my auto loan to pay off, which is only $8k.
I miss making stripper money. The good news is, I've lost weight and I look better now. I could even go back if I wanted to. But the club I was at was going so downhill that it wouldn't be worth it.

Yes, you just don't know really especially in this city. :/
^ I feel similar. I was embarrassed once I realized how out of shape I had become. I won't go into detail because after 24 months of working at it hard I'm in much better shape. It's actually not even *that* hard. I set aside about an hour a day 5 days a week. I'm more trim now ( similar to how I was 8-10 years ago dancing ) . I feel like I don't even know what the hell happened with my body from 2014 - 2018 . It was about 15-20 pounds but man did it not sit well on me. I think I ( formerly ) was telling myself my height hid it .
I do kind of blame my former partner ( in ways I guess I won't launch into because it doesn't matter now ).
I shouldn't say that. It wasn't really *him* but depressive phases that tricked me into always thinking I had to "save" ALL physical energy .
Bottom line ..... take care of your body.
I really missed dancer money like you described but also the glam element ( which obviously is NOT there when the $ is underwhelming ).
I *think* I might have caught a little break.
I stayed at this casino because it was a comp ( my last one lol until I play a little to prove to the casino I'm alive ) .
The resort fee and parking still was $50 though ( $35 resort and $15 parking ). I think they are taking my resort fees off. I was working my day job with my phone hot spot . The wi-fi wasn't connecting for me at all.
I don't know ..... hopefully I can hang. I feel like a nap and then going in more like 6 p.m. will be the best chance of not getting frustrated. I'm still trying to have a nice time and not be an ungrateful ass ( because it could have been worse ). I am just not that " I just want $100 and drinks " kind of dancer. I'm there to get MORE ....... haha.
It's kind of ineffective to be angry at the world over $200 ( the difference of what I got and what I WANTED out of the shift ). :/

A lot of people are afraid to talk to collections. If you have a card that's already closed and is past-due, give them a call, tell them that you want to pay something but can't afford to bring it current or pay it off, and ask what your options are. A lot of collections has basically turned into customer service these days. We would put people on payment plans for like $10/month with no late fees and 1% interest rates (obviously large balances would have larger payments). It doesn't hurt to tell them what you can afford and ask what your options are. They aren't going to reach through the phone and strangle you.
If you can't afford even tiny payments and are just getting stressed out about collection calls, all you have to do is answer one of their calls or call them, identify yourself / comply with authentication, and calmly ask them to stop calling you. There is no need to get angry. You're basically just asking for a no-calls cease and desist.
What you want to avoid is a settlement (unless this is your only option... this can tank your credit) and you want to keep your card from charging off (where the entire balance will be reported as a loss). The loss of one credit card doesn't affect the bank (they report millions of dollars in losses every month), but it will affect you.
And every legitimate financial institution doing in-house collections is required to accurately report the status of the card... you can dispute something if it's incorrect, but you can't ask them to not report a settlement, for example. Asking a bank to not report something is like asking them to commit fraud.
Just some general info in case it helps.

^^ thank you, Charlie. The money I owe is on a payday loan. I don't have any credit cards atm but I am getting one with a low available balance so I can rebuild my credit. Thankfully, I'm not in a whole lot of debt. Justy auto loan and my payday loan in collections.

This may not be a popular opinion & I don't care but I've had several things in collection including a medical bill I ignored bc I couldn't pay it. I never paid any of them and nothing happened other than I had bad credit. The only thing you need credit for really is to either buy a car, get a credit card, or get an apt in your name. None of those stopped me from getting what I needed. I also don't really have anything they can take lol so ya I just ignored them.
