Update Season X - "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Vol. I."

[Joe Biden 2020]

It has been a wonderful day.  I made a lot of progress at school and then had a good conversation on here about insurance, a nice diversion from the usual subjects of the Update.  I had a nice Wednesday Worship Service at church and then came home and watched Big Brother.  I'll be hitting the sack about 22:00.  Tomorrow evening, I will be watching TCU vs. Texas Tech and then Big Brother.  Since tomorrow night is Thursday, I will allow myself to stay up another hour since the next day is Friday.  Friday afternoon, we take JJ to the vet to get her stitches out from her spay surgery and then after we get home and drop JJ off, it will be time for some Mexican food at On the Border.  Saturday evening, I have a birthday party for my cousin's youngest child who turns 4.

As someone of Hispanic descent (distant, but I've still had homemade tamales), On the Border is not Meixcan food.  It's Tex-Mex.

That's because Tex-Mex is Oklahoma.  True Mexican food (US style) is in New Mexico, at least in my taste.

+1 on the pretzel bun. If that doesn't give you a MASSIVE erection, I don't know what will

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

No, all they have is me.  Maisha doesn't double dip.  Each child gets one sponsor.  This is to ensure everyone has a chance to get sponsored.

Don't you mean all they have is your grandmother?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What did you have for dinner, Bushie? Enchiladas? Tacos? A mexican burger, perhaps?

It's a shame not even forum advice on fast food cheeseburgers makes it into the show.

What if you find anything from Wendy's/McDonald's/Burger King disgusting?

Look pal, I get some of the pretentious acts thrown around here about how gross fast food is. I get it. You don't eat fast food. Well, neither do I in most cases, I don't eat carbs hardly at all, I don't eat desert, and my diet consists of lean meats, a lot of veggies and greens, but I'm not some sour puss who never ever eats unhealthy food. On occasion, when time is short and food is spare in my house, I will go for a fast food take out, and occasionally, when I see something on TV that makes my winkle a bit turgid, I will go see whats up.

I am one of the biggest foodies on this forum. Make no mistake. I have people to back me up. With that said, I will say that the pretzel burger at Wendys is a great fast food burger. Don't be afraid to leave your shell and try it. None of us will judge you, and your stomach won't hate you too much the morning after.

I was sweating so much, it was ridiculous, I had to smoke like 5 cigars when that commercial got over.

For years, or most of my life actually, I did nothing but stuff myself with carbs, sugar, red meat, and no veggies, fruits or fish. But after spending the last year or so eating what I'm supposed to it's like my mind makes my physically repulsed by greasy, salty, fast food.

I'm not sure if I'll be the same again. And I don't think I wanna go back to where I was...

yo Bushie, how much credit card debt do you have?  what's your minimum payment look like?

[Joe Biden 2020]

There is a little change in the school calendar.  First, there may be no project at the end of Course 3.  If that's the case I will start the next course on September 25.  Now, Course 4 is Presentation Graphics Animation.  However, my instructor wants to split that up into two halves, an Inventor section and a 3DS MAX section.  He wants me to move onto Course 5 which is Engineering CADD right after Course 3.  Then, do Course 4a if you will.  Courses 6-9 will follow 4a and 4b will follow 9 and then Course 10 finishes it up.  That provides less of a gap between uses of AutoCAD.  There is also a chance I might be alternating between Course 5 and 4a and possibly 4b (after 4a).  He doesn't want us to forget AutoCAD while we're using Inventor and Max.  Course 4a is geared toward the Mechanical CADD discipline which is my focus.  Civil and Architectural have their own path.  He is trying to find the path that flows the best.

yo Bushie, how much credit card debt do you have?  what's your minimum payment look like?

One card is completely paid off, another will be in October, and the third has$11,000.  Minimum on that is usually $250.

Jesus tapdancing Christ! And Inks didn't think the timing of your money was consrquential. You're probably dropping $2,000/year in credit card interest.

When did I ever say that?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Jeff, how did you even get a credit limit of $11,000 on one card?  (I'm assuming that that card is maxed out?)  And why do you need 3 cards?

And Memphis, he's not dropping anything in credit card interest.  Mommy pays those bills too.

the $11k number is better than I was expecting, I feared it was in the tens of thousands.

[Joe Biden 2020]

The credit limit was $9,000 initially and then increased to 11,500.  It's just shy of maxed.  One card was a stupid move (the one that's being paid off next month) and the one already paid off was a retail card.

Tweed, last I checked $11k is in the tens of thousands!

And your parents are paying your credit card debt off?  Do they just pay the minimum payments for you or more?

What happens is I figure up my bills, how much I'll need, and then I send a request to Mom who controls the finances of the family and she sends me the requested amount on Dad's paydays.  Usually, I pay $300 instead of the $250 on the one credit card.  I don't like to pay just the bare minimum.  That gets you nowhere.  Now, by June 1, 2014 I will take over my bills once and for all as I should have a ~$40,000 job by then and should have more than enough to support myself and pay rent, utilities, etc.  Right now, I've got a running list of what I expect in way of finances both plusses and minuses through the end of the year and am about ready to project into January and February.

Why are you asking rhetorical questions? It makes this thread less enjoyable for everyone else.

Wow... so not only are your parents paying for your porn, but they're paying the interest for your porn.  Heck, man... you've got such a sweet deal, no wonder you haven't changed.  Maxed out another credit card?  Aww shucks, we'll just go apply for another one and add that to the list of things for Mommy to give me money for!  You have no responsibility whatsoever.  There is no reason you should be having your parents pay the extra $50 a month (there's no reason they should be paying any of it, but if they're goal is to keep you from going into default, the $50 is superfluous).  Disgusting.  Absolutely disgusting.  At least Bernie Madoff didn't rip off his parents.

Like an inter-office memo request?  I'd love to know the mechanics of how that works.

Bushie have you considered undergoing a plastic surgery?

...by June 1, 2014 I will take over my bills once and for all as I should have a ~$40,000 job by then and should have more than enough to support myself and pay rent, utilities, etc.

I don't think such jobs exist anymore, Bushie.
