Update Season VII: "The OK Corral"

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I've got more company coming in this evening.  My Grandma's niece and nephew-by-marriage from Albuquerque will be here within the next two hours.  They're only staying three nights and will leave Friday morning.

You have company coming over?  Does this mean you're going to go another 30 years before you manage to walk 3 days in a row?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Also, Updates are no longer "free zones" for personal attacks.  If Badger and Mikado want to enter a new agreement with Jeff, they can do that, but Bushie retracted the old agreement, so be forewarned that you can once again get infracted for personal attacks in the Update thread.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

As far as the funds.  My donor gave me $2400, but I still have to fork over about $1250 including spending money.

You mean your parents have to fork over $1250.  Because you have no income, and you're in debt.  So any money that you "have" really isn't your own money.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Inks, I hope to get started walking again this weekend after they leave.  I want to be somewhat in shape when I go to Africa.

As far as the funds, I paid $450 from my federal refund and Mom is taking the money that she usually tithes with and puts it in my Maisha account.  She's not spending any more money than she had planned.  She realizes the importance of going to Kenya and she knows I want to move there, and she sees this as important for me following my dreams.

Oh, so you've scammed your mother into thinking this is a good idea... so now you're taking money from the church and using it to finance your "dreams".  What's sad is that you don't see anything wrong with that.

You're right, I don't see anything wrong with pursuing my dreams.  Everyone is allowed to pursue their own dreams, isn't that what America is all about?  Just because my finances aren't where they should be or where I would like them to be doesn't mean I am not allowed to pursue my dreams.

You're allowed to pursue your dreams.  I just think it's a bit odd that you go on and on about your Christian faith, yet you want your mother to fund your dreams instead of funding the church, because you claim that you'll be helping orphans.  Sorry, man... you can't even help yourself... I don't understand how you honestly think you'll be able to help orphans.  You can't even walk .25 miles a day, what use do you think you'll be to an orphanage in a country where the average high temperatures are in the 80s and 90s?

Have you stopped using mommy's money for your porn subscriptions yet?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I am going to focus on going to school and changing the course of my life before Dad retires and before I lose Mom and Dad.  My parents are not going to be around forever, and I am already 31, so I have to make a change and its time to start preparing for the rest of my life.  I am going to school for the next two school years probably in efforts to get my Associates Degree in CAD and working starting next June after I finish the certificate portion of the program.

I see no evidence that you are actually capable of making a change.  Jeff, you can't convince yourself to walk .5 miles a day; all of a sudden you're just going to will yourself to have the drive to get a degree?  I'll believe it when I see the diploma.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

What exactly does being another male voice for the orphans entail?  What exactly is it that you'll be doing?

And are you still using money from your mother for your porn subscriptions?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

What exactly does being another male voice for the orphans entail?  What exactly is it that you'll be doing?

And are you still using money from your mother for your porn subscriptions?

Male voice may not be the proper term, but another male in the administration of the Orphanage from child sponsorship to building projects on the grounds to travel arrangements for teams from the United States, etc.

And do you have any experience doing any type of administrative work, building anything, or making international travel arrangements?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Sorry, Inks, I forgot to address one of your questions, not because I refused to answer it, but I forgot about it.

To be perfectly honest, no I have not cancelled the porn subscriptions.  I have no reason or no excuse, just I have not done it.  I am making myself a note to do that today (Wednesday) when I wake up.  I would do it now, but my wallet it is in the living room and I don't want to risk waking Dad up who has to get up in 5 hours for work.  I've got a reminder on my iPhone to do it this morning before I head over to Grandma's to spend the day with the Company.  I will let you know by midnight Thursday morning that I have done so.

Yeah, the guy who is too lazy to stop using his mom's money for his porn is exactly the kind of role model that African orphans need.

Why exactly do you need your wallet to cancel a porn subscription?

Sorry, Inks, I forgot to address one of your questions, not because I refused to answer it, but I forgot about it.

To be perfectly honest, no I have not cancelled the porn subscriptions.  I have no reason or no excuse, just I have not done it.  I am making myself a note to do that today (Wednesday) when I wake up.  I would do it now, but my wallet it is in the living room and I don't want to risk waking Dad up who has to get up in 5 hours for work.  I've got a reminder on my iPhone to do it this morning before I head over to Grandma's to spend the day with the Company.  I will let you know by midnight Thursday morning that I have done so.

Why exactly do you need your wallet to cancel a porn subscription?

I completely agree with you.  I'm trying to quit wasting money and time on porn.  It's an addiction in much the same fashion as smoking or drinking is.  All three are bad habits and are a waste of time and money.  I have never said I was perfect, but I do know that I need to shed the porn from my life and that can only be done with discipline and prayer, but doesn't mean God can't still use me.  Yet another reason why I can't go now.

I have to go on to the billing system website and input the card on which the subscription was charged so I can cancel it off the card.

I've never cancelled a porn subscription, so I'm not 100% sure on this, but any time I've cancelled some type of subscription, I have not needed to input the card number again.

I do have experience doing administrative work.  I'm going to school for the building plans.  No experience in the international travel arrangements.

What administrative work?  And going to school to make building plans is a lot different than actually doing the building on the ground.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I'm guessing Bushie's subscriptions use this company, which despite the professional looking and completely un-NSFW site is primarily nothing more than a payment processor for porn sites: http://www.ccbill.com

Click on "Cancel Subscription". You need to enter two out of three pieces of info, the email used, the subscription ID, or the credit card used. I'm assuming Bushie knows his email, so finding the subscription ID in a receipt in it shouldn't be too hard. Even if it's not them but some similar company, it's probably a similar process.

Nah... I'm just guessing he doesn't want to cancel his subscription.  This is unfolding in typical Update fashion.

1. Forum tells Bushie he should do something.
2. Bushie says he'll do it.
3. Inks asks if Bushie has done the thing.
4. Bushie says he hasn't because of [Insert lame reason here].
5. Inks points out how lame the excuse is.
6. Bushie fights back.
7. Inks responds.
8. Bushie gives in and says he will do / has done the thing.
9. Time goes by.
10. Inks notices an inconsistency in Bushie's story.
11. Bushie reveals that he never actually did the thing that he said he did.

We're in a hybrid step 7-8 right now.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

A clerk is not an administrator.  While an administrator may perform clerk-like tasks, administrative duties are a much bigger umbrella.  What exactly are the clerk duties you performed?  Answering phones and making copies?  That's not administration.

And as for the porn cancelling, have you even tried looking up your log-in?  Or have you tried typical log-in names that you use?  Come on, man... this isn't that hard.  If you can't log in to a website because you can't keep track of your usernames, how do you think you're going to be able to be an administrator of an orphanage?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Anyway, I am going to see right now if I can cancel it without the credit card number.

I suspected that you hadn't even tried.  We're now at step 8... my guess is that you will all of a sudden be able to cancel it without the card number, when in actuality, you haven't cancelled it.

I don't understand why you would (1) pay for porn when there's free porn; (2) pay for a subscription you don't even use enough to remember the log-in for.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

So Bushie had a total of 4 online porn subscriptions? Impressive!

Yeah, he said $60 per month........more like $100.

So if we assume he's had those for 2 years, wouldn't that pay for the amount of trip that was donated for him?

It would pay the airfare, yup.

Yeah... I mean, it's fraud.  He portrays himself out as poor and needy, but he's really not that needy.  Sure, he didn't actually ask for the money, but that doesn't really matter.  When a CEO of a company lies about a company's product and drives the stock up, he isn't forcing anyone to buy the stock, but it's still wrong and unethical.  And while what Bushie does isn't illegal, it's just as unethical as fraud in the stock market.  If anything, it's more unethical, because he's defrauding people of money in the name of God and charity.

I've only had these subscriptions since April 1.  A couple of them were April 16.  That's no lie.  My conscience bothers me too much to keep them more than 2-3 months at a time.

OK, fine... then if it's on for 3 months and off for 2, I'm sure you've been doing this for years.  The point is that you're ripping people off by pretending to be in more financial trouble than you really are.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Mr. Morden,

The 'brief relaxation' was a nap, not porn.  And, yes, all but one subscription is cancelled.  I haven't been home to take care of the last one.

It takes you multiple days to cancel a porn subscription, yet you feel confident enough in your computer skills to be an orphanage administrator... or even scarier, make building plans with a computer?  If you can't cancel a porn subscription, I wouldn't want to be living in a house you designed.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Grumps, we're all pitching in for dinner.

Duke, including PB, I only had four.

Inks, there's something called procrastination.  I am really good at that!

Yes, it's easy to procrastinate when it comes to stopping using other people's money.  Which is what makes all of this even more despicable.  You're cracking jokes about the fact that you're defrauding your parents out of money to pay for online porn... that's pretty twisted.

I know, but I've stopped them now and looking for a way to kill the PB. It's bad, but I'm not bad.

If you're trying to get me to feel guilty, bring your lunch!

1. So have you actually cancelled ALL of your porn subscriptions?
2. What is PB?
3. You can say you're not bad, but how would you call someone who repeatedly does bad things, knowing that they are bad?  I wouldn't call that person "good".
4. If you don't feel guilty about taking money from your parents to buy porn with money that you claim you need (even though the real reason is that you're too lazy to get a job), then you're either lying or suffer from some psychological problem.

What do you mean trying to find a way? It's hard to cancel it? Or you just can't bring yourself to say goodbye?

I couldn't see a cancel subscription link on the website.

I find this very hard to believe.  There has to be some kind of contact form.  Again... you want to be an administrator and you can't even figure out how a porn site works?  Yikes...

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Then at least tell your parents that you're using their money for porn and can't figure out how to cancel it.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Yawn

Wow... your actions might be the most unethical thing I've ever seen from someone I actually "know".  You're defrauding your parents (one of which may be out of a job soon) to buy your porn, and you're even flippant about doing it.  That's more unethical than Bernie Madoff... why?  Because Madoff didn't "love" the people he was defrauding.  How can you honestly say you love your parents when you're ripping them off and you don't even care that you're doing it?

Hell... this is honestly one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen unfold.... if you don't feel guilty, then I feel pity for you, because that's not normal human behavior.  If you don't feel something, then you're beyond help.  But if that's true, you should never be working in an orphanage if you're really in that condition.

My guess is that you do feel guilty; you're just being too stubborn to admit it because you don't want me to be right.  In that case, that's just extreme immaturity, and you, again, probably shouldn't be in a position to be caring for kids.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

As soon as I am alone, which will likely be tomorrow, I'll call.  Thanks.

You should also actually confess to your parents what you did.  Doesn't your Christian faith compel you to confess your wrongs to those you've wronged?

You're a trip.

How can you honestly say you love your parents when you're willing to take their money under false pretenses and not tell them about it?
