Good stuff :thumbsup

edited in: A hunnerd good things...

Hey Vjo man!! I completely missed this thread yesterday wtf??? You can always email me when ranting like a (justified, justified) lunatic, just for the sheer pleasure of watching a true master Flame Out. Haha! Love ya buddy!

But wait - did you or did you NOT get your 30 beers? I mean, money to buy 30 beers? Whatever, I remember something about 30 beers....

Listen man, for real no bullshit now: You're a good man IMHO, and if you want some semi-steady blog writing shit hit me up. Ramble and post for fun and profit! :D

Hope you get ur dough dude - I know about (self-imposed) isolation. Be like Dylan, make it cool (watching 'No Direction Home' by Scorsese, killer!!!).

As long as you gots ur Internet, ur (30? 29? How many are on the wall....?), and your electricity/air conditioning things should be okay. :)

Pay this man!

PS: No, it wasn't me who sent the money - VJo, I offered you work instead, knowing your well-deserved pride. :)

Thank you. Just want to acknowledge all my friends in this thread.

I think it is important when someone wishes someone the best that they are acknowledged.

I am like a gracious host. Noone posts in my threads and is left alone. :)

Lookin' California, Feelin' Minnesota...hope you get what you are owed! :thumbsup

Hey buddy :thumbsup

I was going to email you back when I was flipping out. :) Seriously. But I got caught up when guys started emailing me.

Ya know I might take you up on a little writing. I like to think I am as good and pervy a writer as anyone. :)

I love this fucking guy folks. He eminates kindness. :)

I am getting emotional again.

Ok lets get back to having fun.

I LOVE you all. This night changed me.

Yes a couple months back I was down to zip and coulnt afford beer. But this month I can afford it and got 3 12s. :)

Ya got to have beer folks.

Lets have fun. I am going to tell you what you really need in life when you are down to $50 a week for groc. It is kind of interesting.

What does a guy really need most of all.. Beer #1, Potato chips (they are a good deal for the money) beef, (gottas have it 80% ground beef for tacos and a bit of pork or rump roast) cat food, (expensive but we all know cats need what they need) cheese (versatile) beans, 4 cans for 2 bucks is the best deal and some kind of sweets and pasta and red potatoes. And milk for the cat in summer.

This is bottom line what you got to have but beer is most important. :thumbsup

I was getting by but thanks to this fellow's insistant kindness now I can buy Egg Rolls :) YES!

In all seriousness it was tough but better now.

I have a $650 nut before food MP. I am OK. :) No cable. No phone. Dont tell my sponsors hehe

You can survive your lows if your nut is low enough. Only reason I am stilll alive in adult is I have such a low nut in MN. My prop taxes is $82 a year. :) Mobile Home. Nothing fancy here.

I want to tell that to Mr Maxwell cause I know he is having tough times too. Get that nut down MM. If yoiu can survive your low, the only way is up and you can survive and slowly make more and more and still be your own boss.

I also got a $700 prop tax refund on the mobile home lot rent coming in in a month and 1/2. (one of the great things about MN is rent and prop tax refunds) Then I will be rolling in dough. :) That is when I get ahead. :)

A little bit maybe yeah :)

Lets here from these guys. This says it best. "When your down thats where you'll stay". It gets frustrating and when you have a chance at a better month like this month and THEN a sponsor does this, yeah it makes you mad.



yes my fellow wms took the sting away tonight with their amazing generosity but still if they hadnt I would have really needed this $103 NAM owes me.

Sponsors who always have paid me on time:

(active payers only)

Nasty Dollars
Score Cash
DDF Cash
CCBill :)
Spice Cash
AFF
Mr. Skin Cash
21st Sextury
Silver Cash
Hazecash

These are top notch progs who always get you paid.

I have had one recur going on FOREVER with Spice Cash too but I KNOW Colin will always pay me till he cancells which may never happen cause Spice Cash RULES!

altho my elec, gas, lot rent, ins, internet nut is $650 I must make about $1100 to get by with min food and car lic, and other small stuff. Under $1490 qualifies me for food stamps which I dont get cause I know I will get to 1490 soon.

I am actually poverty level but I could live VERY large on 2K a month. A mere 24 K a year. So I am not spoiled and better times await. :)

If you haven't noticed yet I replied on page two..

Hi,

I dont know the whole situation but I hate it when people promise me something and dont do it. (Some might come back w a lame excuse) Giving false hope and wasting someone's time is a NO-NO! Words are cheap for some. It shows the lack of responsibility of the individuals.

Hope everything works out for you! :)

:thumbsup



Minn eee Soda as MP says. :)

No I hadnt. Thanks Scott let me read it. I got a bit lost here.

Thanks Scott. You did say i will definitely have an answer for you tomorrow. And I guess it took some doing but I got a response tomorrow.

I thought you were bsing me. I felt like the reason you left me on hold on ICQ for 4 hours was you seen I wasnt sending much traffic and were going to keep my recurrings. Then today when I could not contact you I thought you were blocking me.

So I lost it. I started to think you just never sent it in the first place as all the other NAM checks got through.

Sorry it went to this but you did say you would have an answer for me today. If you were going to be gone you should have said I'll have an answer for you Friday.

Anyhow thank you for your response. I will be looking for the check. If the other one comes should I throw it? Let me know.

I also emailed you and Eddie 3-4 days earlier with no response. So I started to think I was getting fucked. This could be avoided by responding to the email you list on your site within72 hours.

Edit: see below

I hadn't noticed your email from Tuesday, however we spoke Wednesday. Sometimes it can take 24 hours for a response depending but you can usually expect a reply same day. Regardless, I have your email now and I will get you all the info in the AM.

Thanks!

[email protected]

I usually do call but I got 31 mins on my cell and no landline anymore to save money. So I didnt want to.

Anyhow it is all settled now. Thanks for your help. Sorry I went to the boards but I fig if i didnt I would never get thru to you. Maybe I was wrong there.

Anyhow thanks again for your help and sorry for any probs. I know NAM has always been a good payer. I just feel when my traffic to you is low now that maybe you guys felt why pay him. Times are tight all over. All this just makes one go nuts. Thanks for understanding. :)

I am glad you are on the west coast. Not quite as late there. :)

I don't know Vjo, but it seems like he's been marked at multiple programs as fraud, so there might be something up?

In addition, the guy has a join date in 2002, so he has been in the industry at least since 2002 and maybe longer. How on earth is it possible to be broke?
If you were around in 2002 and are broke you did definitely something very wrong...

I skipped page 2, have busy day
paid or still unpaid?

Im hungry as hell. Having some tater tot hotdish. :)

To anyone I missed I love you and thanks for your support. Mr Maxwell I still want to respond to your post.

To the guy who gave me a lil boost this month. I love you most of all. I told him twice I was ok. He wrote and said check such and such tomorrow. I sent it. I will pay this person back someday.

He is a well known GFY member and we all can feel good these type of people exist anywhere in life much less right here.

Money earned is money to be paid, period. You just caught me on a day that I was gone, no worries. And if you ever had a payment issue with us in the past by all means let me know.

Thanks, bedtime for me now.

I am not broke just things are very tight. How is it possible? Ask Paul Markham what has happened to this industry. :) I am making more money every month just hit a low point.

I prob did something wrong but making $1100 a month is not terrible and it is going up.

In Oct 2007 Google Adwords cancelled me as i was too agressive I guess. This after 4 years of developing cmpns cut my income by 85%. So shit happens. Maybe your best 2 sponsors have something happen? Things can happen.

It then took 3 years to build it back to 1000+ a month.

And no I am not a cheater. I have used 200+ sponsors since 1997 and been paid by all but 3. That is hardly a cheater.

Oh contrare my friend. I got cheated by 3. Not the cheater. The cheated.

Thanks Scott. Have a good night.

Paid... :)

Thanks. All fine now. :)

was that an x for little OLD me. :) Thanks. :)

Before I wrap it up I want to respond to this.

Yeah when you dont have a large savings to say the least you plan on checks way in advance. I do a budget every two weeks. Of course you go to the store and plan on spending say 100 max and you spend $130. Now those checks you count on are real important.

When they are late and then when (right or wrong) you cant get ahold of anyone you start to get a lil po'ed.

2 cans pinto beans (drained)
2 cans kidney beans (drained)
2 TBLSP oil
2/3 cup water
1 TBLSP Chile powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumim
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp oregano

Simmer till right consistency :)

$2 will go a ways but beans can get old. :) But not too bad and the best deal there is at the groc store.

Hint: If you are using flour tortillas. Do not use taco sauce. Instead use pure Sour Cream. Goes real good with beans.

Food stamps only give like $115 and for that you got all the govt red tape so I also just let them keep the welfare unless I really needed it then I would take it.

And last, you dont need cable or land line phone service. Get your nut low MM. A penny saved is a penny earned. Sucks to live that way but it can get you by till times get better which they will.

so was the problem solved?

:thumbsup!

Gonzo, I think you owe me some money for Oprano!

Catman, do you wanna be my collection agent?

I'll break my retirement just for you!

How the hell you been, oldtimer?

Dean retired, ScottPB retired, I retired
BECAUSE we PAID OUR BILLS ON TIME EVERY TIME!
and MikeAI is semi-retired (because he had no bills! :) )

We just got back from Germany and on our way to China, life is good!

Sare, thanks man!

You have peaked my interest... :thumbsup

Tell me, how do you wipe? Front to back, or back to front, and what do you use? 1 Ply? 2 Ply? 4 Ply? A gooses neck?

Please let me know :thumbsup

Buy your beans dry. They are much cheaper, and you just soak them overnight then cook them the same. They store for a very long time.

NP, Hey, I will be (hopefully) heading for Key Waste end of September for a week or so. You gonna be home or out traveling?



.

Bump for fellow MN guy. Vjo, if you ever wanna do lunch its on me :-) What part of the metro are you in?

Glad it worked out Vjo!!!!! I hear ya my friend, I totally understand the financial breakdown absolutely! Been there, done that for years.

Will reach out to you via email next week about writing some shite for moi. :))

Ok quickly answering some posts for I gotta run to town..

Scott took care of it personally and issued a new check. I was a total ass yesterday not only to Scott but on the first page to others. I have mended things with all I hope.

Just lost it. It has been 97-100 for four days was maybe why I wasnt thinking clearly. :)

But I want to say sorry to Scott for this. I totally ASSuMEd the worse. My 5th grade teacher Mr Theison said never do that. I still do tho.

But I did learn there are some REALLY big hearts in the shadows of this board watching me make an ass out of myself most of the time. :)

Just how it goes sometimes guys. At my age I should know better. But let me tell ya, ya never change ya just get older. :)

Love for EVERY poster and emailer who showed support. Even tho there was really no problem. I believe NAM would have got things done in due course.

Love you man, gonna play that vid right now :thumbsup

I need my music. I got a little "heart action" going on today. As we say. Got way to worked up yesterday. Im 54 guys. Not that old but not that young. So I have to get back to posting nice stuff and having fun. :) I prob have high bp. I avoid docs.

Started after a bunch of Pork Roast I ate yesterday. Bad stuff if ya eat too much. And then go fly off the handle. :)

Got to go.. I will continue soon as i get back.. couple hours.. Gonzo and Saretta.. those were the days and Serge knew how to do biz. I told all this but Serge once overgnighted me 1 Grand just to join the fun. :) Those were the days. Long gone. :)

Be back. MP I see ya. Saving your post.

I LOVE having an MP post waiting for me. :)

F'n guys got style. :) I am so drab and engineer like. He's got style.

Me and Mr Jones? No. Me and Mister Peabody :) :thumbsup



love this song, bringing back the good vibes

i know i play it all the time :)

Vjo.. In case you didn't recognize him, this was Serge posting at ya :thumbsup

Thanks Sarettah, I didnt see that thanks

Love ya Serge. How ya been. I used to download your site with your trips but I got too Jealous. hehe Yes I am very good as the old tmers know at getting my way. :) hehe

BIt embarrassing to not be rich yet but at least I am still here. Barely. :) But doing better. Have more members at my porn sponsors every month so that is good. Had 70 members last month. 90 or so this month.

I am going up but it has been hell as I had some low points. Was down to $4.20 after necessitities one month AFTER the pawn shop. :) 4 20? :) Is that a sign. I have been slowly making more since. I will be fine. Just took me a long time. Few set backs. if it werent for bad luck I would have no luck at all :) cause I had my luck in 1999 :) :thumbsup

ying and yang at work :)

Love ya, more later

I got more time, called the bank, open late friday. :)

It is so good to hear from ya. Serge brings me LUCK!

Yes I will be your agent. :) Nah not really. I have a strong bark but all this is too much for me. I dont do well under real stress. :)

Dean what can I say but I pay recurrings. :) Dean changed my life (the first time) In 1999 I won $50,000 in a contest from Playgal, Dean's company. $21,000 to tax. :) higher rate then I think.

as Blanche said in A Cat On A Hot Tin Roof "I have long depended on the kindness of strangers" (paraphrased) it seems in retrospect. ANd I thank you all with love.

Anyhow that was a nice check. Took two months but it arrived WITHOUT me going to the boards. :)

Bought:
1) A/c for my office (used to literally sit in a mobile home with a wet tshirt in front of the fan with no a/c in 96-99

2) King sized bed. Wore too many twins out :)

3) too damn many domains which guys are now buying for peanuts after I paid reg fees for eleven years, but no use for them anymore. I listened too much to godfather. :)

4) And some "herbal livations" as i was still "young and dumb" in my late 30s haha :)

Anyhow, Serge overnights me $1000 by fed-ex.

Great times. Next day 10am Knock knock. I still remember it all. Open the fed ex. $1000. Was great. An anon paysite owner also sent me $1000 the next day by fed ex but insisted I say nothing.

Can I say? It was eleven years but I better not he said no altho his prog is essentially long out of biz.

It was a Sunday. February 14 Valentines" I had just went in and rented Madonna Erotica. After watching that hehe I turn on was it YNOT board.

First thing I read was

"was that our Catman"

continuing..

I had just listened to Clapton's Forever Man..

then Santana's Hold On "hold on nothings the same" came on

I go to Ynot, first thing i read "was that our Catman"

"was that our Catman"

My heart literally sunk. i read some more.

"has anyone tried to call him"

i read no more

I got up and walked into the bathroom in shock

My cassette player continued to play Santana's Hold On

"hold on nothings the same, tell me why you feel this way"

the phone suddenly rings, it is Dean from Playgal :)

I then got on the board and it was the day of my life

the day of my life, i was suddenly in the money :)

love ya Serge and my best wishes always. I will tell this story again I am sure. :)

Take care man and enjoy your travels.. :thumbsup :thumbsup

hold on nothings the same, tell me why you feel this way



i still love this song and thje days of old :thumbsup

Yeah there is one guy on here I use to do favors for who sent me some cash.. Same thing, he wants no publicity for it.... Man, if everyone I've done favors for would repay me I don't know if I'd buy a mansion or a Bentley first ... but like they say.. can't wait for that :winkwink:

Front to back of course :) Charmin Ultra keep the roids away :)

A guy named Tiny called Stern one day. He was 600LBs funny clip I should UL for you all.. I have lost 10 lbs so am only half his weight now 300 at 6'3 :helpme

So I am not on the bed wiping yet. :1orglaugh

There ya go lil bathroom humor for the Sober Meister :)

The people at google will sometimes listen to you if you contact them about it.. did you try?

I tried that but that is too much work. For fucks sake I can afford 4 cans for $2 :)

"only bona fide MORONS have any ill feelings toward ANY board personality, 'cuz after all...it's just board personalities!"
- Serge

That is so true Sarettah, Great quote :thumbsup:thumbsup

Thanks man :thumbsup Maybe someday. I am up near St Cloud. There are at least 3 of us from MN posting here.

Please dont lump us three in with Michelle Bachman :) (unless You like MB :) )

ohhhhhhhhhhh i remember Catman winning that contest. I always wondered what became of you - had no idea you were Vjo on here.

and Serge makes an appearance too!

fuck we're all getting old and that includes the young pups who were in their 20's. i've lost both parents since getting into this shit - a 47 year old orphan!

Thanks man. Yeah it gets a bit frustrating to say the least. It could be way worse tho so no prob. Just that everyone is so supportive. makes ya really feel good.

I said "first time" in 1999 in my other post. second time might have been this thread. It showed me a lot.

And yeah I prob could write and get paid for all my ramblings. :)

OK have I got to everyone? :) I better run along for a bit.

This thread has a ton of views.

Once again sorry to NAM. If ya made it this far and didnt see, Scott personally mailed a check to me today to expedite the process. They went out of their way and continue to be one of the best sponsors in the game. :thumbsup :thumbsup

I dont want no ill will towards Scott or NA. I was in the wrong here not them.

I would like to give some ill will to the lil bald postmaster we have whose emplyees keep putting my checks in other's boxes. :)

OK you heard enuff out of me. :)

Thank you ALL for your support and thanks to NA for getting my squared around.

And mostly thanks to the anon person who insisted on sending me a couple bucks. I said no. He sent it anyhow. :) This was not my intention but it shows the real side of adult where there is a lot of love.

Thank you, I love you all.

the road is long, with many a winding turn



that leads us to who, knows where

The Cat is home :) :thumbsup
