Goodbye Internet
 
My access to the cyber world will be shut off at midnight tonight. Everybody cross your fingers that the cable company will forget to do it, because we all love having joey on the planet. It's happened before, I got an extra two weeks of cable/net/phone after it was supposed to be terminated once. Doubt it'll happen again though.

Simplex3 06-27-2007 08:40 PM

Here's hoping someone will steal it from you.

420am 06-27-2007 08:42 PM

Good luck! lol

KurtCobain 06-27-2007 08:48 PM

I'm gonna have to figure out how to steal internet from my neighbors. Aww shit, who am I kidding? No one around here has the internet. Everybody is broke as ****.

420am 06-27-2007 08:55 PM

Gotta love Independence..

BWillie 06-27-2007 08:56 PM

Why don't you just pay for it?

OR..

Try this.

Sorry to hear it. Dial-up sucks after going Broadband, but it beats no service at all. I'd bet you can find a cheap dial up provider. Anyone got a recommend for Joey?

Well, at least you covered both bases. You suggested he pay for it before showing a link to a method to help him steal it. Half-Credit for the duality. :)

JBucc 06-27-2007 09:00 PM

You need to get your priortites in order. Forget less important things like car payments or food and get your internet bill paid. Life without instant pr0n is not a life worth living.

I don't have a penny to my name until monday. Even then I won't have more than an extra dollar in my budget. I got evicted yesterday(30 days to move) and have to save for a place to live. Internet is a luxury. I don't have to have it. There's always the library.

Why don't you just steal someones laptop and pawn it to raise the funds?

Are you seriously questioning my use of words? Exodus does not always indicate a large number of people.

Ah. So you were digging for the definitions of my 50-cent words, and upon discovering their meaning, were insulted. This was the reaction I was going for. You should feel honored that you have been educated through my post.

Hopefully they wait until morning to shut it off, but they usually do it around midnight or 1am.

Damnit!! Do I already have to replace an owner in our FF league?

Iowanian 06-27-2007 09:53 PM

maybe spend the down time at the library learning about financial responsibility and ways to spend your money wisely.....and looking for a better job....or a second job.

Good luck.

teedubya 06-27-2007 09:53 PM

Is this joey guy gone yet? I am ready to start talking shit on him as soon as he is gone.

Better plan on your cousins house for the draft then. I doubt the library will let you use it for more than an hour.

I like my job. It's the only thing I'm good at(manual labor). It's just hard to feed your family, house your family and afford internet at 9 bucks an hour. And hard to find a better job when during the day you're always working or trying to atleast see your kid awake.

ROYC75 06-27-2007 10:12 PM

Good Luck joey.......

Are you a one income family too?

Bowser 06-27-2007 10:21 PM

Damn dude, that sucks. I've enjoyed your posts.

To hell with that nine bucks an hour stuff. Go down to Yellow Frieght and se if you can get on as a casual working the docks. I think that starts off around 15/hour.

If I see you begging for food on the way to a Chiefs game, I'll at least toss you a beer. Just be sure that your sign says you're Joey from ChiefsPlanet somewhere on there. :D

Iowanian 06-27-2007 10:21 PM

I'm not trying to bust on your joey....

I see alot of people struggle.

I see the same people unable to make rent, but having internet, 125 channels on the dish, a $300 cell phone, and wonder why they're having a tough time.

I respect that you're working and want to see your kid...hopefully, you'll find a sollution that improves life for all of you.

Yeah, that's why I'm having to give all that up.(except for the cell phone, never had one of those). Rent's a little better than cable. :)

Try taking a civil service exam, or working your way into a union. There are ways to make manual labor pay well.

KurtCobain 06-27-2007 11:02 PM

Good luck and I have known hard times as well.

Hopefully things will improve quickly for you and yours.

Remember, there are people that have to search for food everyday, just to make it by.

Good luck.

Getting a second job mainly for a phone. I'm working in the caves right now and have a new roommate so bills are doing ok. No perks though. But I need a phone because I like not having to walk six blocks and pay 50 cents everytime I need to make call someone. Which is alot. And I talk to distance family via email so internet has it's importance as well.
