Bushie: The Final Frontier - Update Season V

[Franzl]

You people really want to know everything.

Who cares who he talked to on the phone?

[Franzl]

Guys, I haven't given up.  I am still working out 6 nights a week.  If I'm working out with the Wii, I'm doing light exercises while watching TV.  I'm eating mostly healthier food.  Yes, I do splurge every now and then, but I believe meals are supposed to be enjoyable times, not boring and mundane.  Also, I don't like a lot of vegetables especially the ones mentioned earlier.  I hate broccoli, brussell sprouts, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, among other things.  I do not eat salad other than taco salad.  Finding things that are healthy that I actually like and enjoy is a bit challenging.

So you like the taste of the junk that fast food places serve....and dislike good food...

Crazy world

[Franzl]

I wonder if Bushie has been fired?

[Franzl]

I imagine all in all, you paid a lot more to move to Utah than you ever earned at your jobs.

You (or your parents) have basically been paying for the privilege of working.

[Franzl]

And this obsession with going to Kenya is ridiculous... with the condition that you and your finances are in, you have no good reason to go to Kenya.

Please do not tell me by obsession with going to Kenya is ridiculous.  I have said many times that I am not going for another 4-5 years.  One of the other reasons for moving home is to shed a lot of this extra debt so I can pay down my bills and be able to move to Kenya more comfortably.

Why did you move to Utah at all?

[Franzl]

So what has Bushie's real pay been factoring in all expenses? Pretty sure it's far under 0.

[Franzl]

Any particular reason you're adding an extra night and tank of gas?  Vegas is way out of your way!

He really wants to get a fresh start by getting rid of all his money.

His parents' money.

[Franzl]

No, explain why your adding almost 10 hours to what could be a 17 hour drive.

Oh come on. The answer is obvious.

[Franzl]

Maybe he can gamble away his computer...

[Franzl]

Has every one else noticed that Bushie has started to tune out the noise he doesn't like here?

Has started? What? Why do you think his life is so screwed up?

He was responding for a while. See his interactions with Torie and Inks a few days ago.

It's just the typical pattern. Tries to get everyone on his side and argues, only to realize that nobody believes his story, then proceeds to do whatever stupid thing he was going to do anyway.

People need to realize that Bushie decides what he's going to do at the very beginning (probably in a matter of minutes), and nothing anyone says is going to convince him of anything.

[Franzl]

  We are fortunate we haven't lost service completely.

Imagine the horror!

[Franzl]

Jeff, you can't hold a job for 6 months... attempting to commit bank fraud probably isn't something you should be trying to do here.  If a Michigan Supreme Court Justice can't pull it off, neither can you.

Bank fraud?  Since when did I mention anything about bank fraud??

What do you think concealing employment from your realtor and banker is?

Oh ok, I see that now.  That's part of my dilemma.  We've got to get out from under that house ASAP and going on with a normal sale could take forever in this economy.  Even the short sale could still take 2-3 months, but at least it would have an almost-defined end.

Is there no other way out of that property besides mooching off your parents until it sells, which could take a while given it's in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma?

Maybe your best bet is to find stable employment and live in it until you can sell it? Or just foreclose on it and ruin your credit. Either way, it's not fair to live at home, take naps all day and dance around trying to find a job merely to allow a short sale to go through.

I refuse to let it foreclose.  I would like to be able to rent an apartment later on, and my car is not getting any younger and will have to be replaced one of these days.  All the short sale will do is temporarily ding my credit for a year or two and prevent me from purchasing another home, which I don't intend to do anyway.  My realtor is a specialist in short sales, and she says my situation qualifies for a short sale because my hardship is that I was shipped out to Utah for work and lost my job in Utah (via a rejected two-weeks notice) and am back in Oklahoma.  Its almost like a double-hardship.  I just don't want employment to ruin all that, but I guess having a job would make it easier to deal with whatever situation comes about.  Another reason I am looking for employment right now, albeit slowly, is its easier to hire someone who has recently had a job, even if for only 4 months, than it is to hire someone who has been out of work for 3 months, 6 months, etc.

Who the heck told you a short sale is just a "ding" on your credit?  That's not true.

In my situation, the realtor told me its just a slight, temporary damage, only preventing me from purchasing another house for the next year or two.  I have never missed a payment, so that lightens the damage on its own.

That certainly explains a lot about Oklahomans if they have teachers like that.

[Franzl]

Is Bushie going mad?

[Franzl]

Even if he was in school, he sure as hell could work at least 10-20 hours, if not more.

I don't know how American universities work...but I would have great difficulty working 20 hours a week and still managing full time studies.

[Franzl]

I think he answered that for us. The real question is, whether BushOK has actually been applying or is lying about that too. It's clear he doesn't intend to work until July at the earliest. It's all part of the "plan."

I want him to give a straightforward answer of if he would turn down a job if it was offered to him.  Furthermore, I'd like to hear why he would do such a thing, if that's his plan.

Because he wants to go to Kenya. (Which I fully understand, and I have sympathy for the American underclass that has to fear losing their job over a 10 day trip... ). It'd just be easier for him to admit it, though.

[Franzl]

My example was with about the bare minimum hours that you could possibly get.  Why are you set on going to Kenya instead of making money?  Some money is better than no money.

If you were working 5 8-hour days at $11, that's taking home $350 per week minus $70 in gas if the job is FORTY miles away.  So that's still $280 in income.  And did you even apply to a job that was 40 miles away?

Probably not.  You said none were closer than 15 miles, so if you only drove 118 miles yesterday, I can't see how any of the jobs would be 40 miles away, as that alone would be 80 miles of your 118 miles yesterday, meaning that all of the other driving you did was only 38 miles.

Inks, I've got a plan.  The plan is working.  That's all that needs to be said.

I'm sure it's working for your interests.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you might be confusing God's will and your own?
