Best of luck with it all Tootie and hope it comes through for you. I've been there in the past and all I can say is hang in and keep trying. Those with just a little intelligence that push ahrd enough will nearly always succeed in the end. Those who fail are the ones that quit when the going gets really tough.

Hey tootie, sorry to hear about your woe's. Stay strong and be brave, you can do it. Everyone falls on hard times here and there, most important is to take care of your health and children the best way you can. Rumour has it you are a great designer...If you are great at graphics I may have a little project for you, please feel free to ICQ me, it's below =) Take care and best of luck to you!

tootie, hit me up, i have some work for you :) as always i enjoy your work :)

putting personal fights that I don't have any interest in getting involved with to one side - Tootie is good people.

*hugs* hon...I know all too well what the biopsy thing does to your head.

Tootie, do you have contact info? Please send it to me, I may have something to interest you in the upcoming weeks.

Nice move you whiney little bitch.

Look...Yeah, ok...So it sucks to be you right about now. Guess what? We've all been through some shit like that at various points in our lives. That does not excuse the fact that you have been making bad judgment calls that make you look like a complete fucking moron.

THEN you come here and use MY name to draw attention to your pity party.

FUCK YOU.

I don't give a fuck if you are on your God damn death bed. If you say something that is out of wack, I am going to set you straight on it.

Now...Go cry on the shoulders of more GFY people and beg for work. That's gotta do wonders for your pride. :thumbsup


Not a God damn thing....BUT...That's all that the trolls can really bash me on since they know I am usually right, my business is sound, and most of their lives suck compared to mine.

Jealousy is a bitch.

Don't expect any more replies from me in this thread, tootie. You got what you wanted....ATTENTION and job offers. Congrats. Now go pay some bills and earn some money before you start another post about me because you need gas money for your soon to be repossessed car and medical bills.

Do I have a heart? Yes, but you sure as hell ain?t gonna see it on a board filled with idiots who start threads like this at my expense.

Cry me a fucking river. :waaaaahh

Good Luck to you tootie...

we may have some board differrences from time to time, but you always keep itt real:thumbsup and you are very good at what you do.

I wish you the best in a turn around of circumstances that have hit you now...

It is happening all over, and is certainly not an issue of talent in many cases.

As far as Aaron goes, he would do better, if he were to change his outlook towards people, and the way he treats others in an attempt to look cool, bigger than he really is, or to feel superior to them for some kinda god complex or something. I hope he figures this out one day soon.

:2 cents:

Hahahaha.... now damn, if that isn't hypocritical.... way to preach on tough guy.

Jeeze, are you ever one to talk as an authority on the subject.

Could you be any more retarded?? Seriously??

Looks like you and I were wrong, MM....Aaron DID post. :)

Glad I didn't bet you.

( Fidy I hate Aarons )



This sounds worst then my IBILL delema - i may be down that road soon. been there before tehre are always ways to bounce back!

Good Luck:)

No doubt... well, I wasn't going to bet he wouldn't post, but I would have bet that he wouldn't say as much as he did... guess he had a free moment before getting to his work. :winkwink:

And, don't forget he types fast, too. :)

Hi.
What's the total damage?

Hm....

On this board people who never have their own opinion and alway kiss ass are called sheep..... And those who have their own opinion...are called morons.

I don't know what the Tootie - AaronM drama was about though.

:2 cents:

Think this Drama has been going on for a while with those 2.

I think Aaron has a crush on her. :Graucho

Chris to the rescue once again

I like the sheep. They help fill my life with joy.

If you had read the thread that started this then you would understand that Aaron was calling her a moron because she was acting like one and not because she had an opinion.

That really sucks ... I've been behind for 2 months in my life and I never want to be in the red again ... as soon as you get a chance (rarely happenS) put some money aside :P

Nice.

OK:thumbsup

Sounds like just a rough time, but ya got the spirit, hats off to ya :glugglug

I don't understand how she can even think about working ... outch

She's not bad at what she's doing ... but that should be a half time job I agree ... you cannot have tgp and button orders as a fulltime job ;(

I ordered banners recently from Tootie and she did a great job for me.

Her situation is real by the way.

Hang in there girl. Behind every storm is the sunshine waiting to break through again.

Well said!

Tootie let's see one of your tours :)

I thought you were only doing basic stuff ;)

Shit you just gave me a craving for them. LOL

Todays truth

LOL... sorry but you dont scare anyone...

Good luck with the biopsy Tootie, and don't let it stress you too much. Cervical cancer has a very good cure rate. I had it and all they had to do was freeze off some cells and I was good to go. Both my mother and grandmother had it and they lived at least 40 years afterwards.

As for your financial circumstances I have learned that the best way to handle things is to live a minimalist life until you have money in the bank...especially if you have 5 kids you have to think of. Get rid of everything that is not needed at the moment. That goes for cable channels, subscriptions...all that non-vital stuff. You could also start cooking instead of eating take-out. I remember a thread around Christmas or so where you said that your family eats take-out almost every day because you don't have time to cook. Even making canned soup and a sandwich for dinner is much cheaper than buying take-out for 7 people and will also be much healthier for your children. Fast food is not the most healthy of foods and there are things you can do to provide good food at low cost, even when you are short on time.

Don't replace the babysitter, instead spend 1/2 hour a day organizing the children and you will not only keep them amused but you will also have more time to spend working. Get together craft ideas, craft supplies etc. and keep them busy. Older children, even if they are not much older can assist in the care of younger children if you give them the responsibilty. Think back to the early 1900's when 10 year olds would be in charge of the family farm while the parents went on a journey for a couple weeks. They even had to bake the bread, light the fires, milk the cows. Given this idea, you can see that many children are capable of doing much more than most parents realize.

One good way is making the oldest "teacher" because kids love to be the teacher or the babysitter. Let the child come up with ideas on how to amuse the siblings. Even 6 and 7 year olds can come up with games and activities to do.

Look for other sources of income to help pay past due bills. Things like selling retro stuff you can buy at second hand stores on eBay. Where there is a will, there is a way. I personally work about 16 hours a day, 7 days a week...and have for as far back as I can remember. Organization and prioritizing is the key.

EXCELLENT post!! :thumbsup

I would have thought you were doing fairly good, since you get a lot of GFY work. :helpme
The above posts show this, everyone has a job for you somewhere. You can easily increase your work load if you were to spread yourself over a few high traffic webmaster hot spots. I understand shit takes time, but things dont add up.

I'm not really understanding the situation, but good luck to you. :thumbsup

edit: I also remember you being "backlogged" with work ...

hey tooootie ,
contact me when u get moment
cheers
:glugglug

Sorry about your situation tootie... you do some nice work... I'm sure better times are ahead for you! :thumbsup

Hmm.. maybe Aaron should invoice Tootie for the use of his name/trademark? :P

In & Out, Taco Bell, or El Pollo Loco maybe . . . never seen him go McD's

great post :thumbsup

good luck Tootie :)

:thumbsup

Thank you for all the thoughtful and helpful responses, everyone. I truly appreciate it. :)

And Aaron, thank you for posting. Sincerly. I got exactly what I expected from you. I hope you've got things out of your system so I can get back to business, but if not, I guess you can keep flaming me if you want to. I certainly have better things to worry about than petty board arguements, and at least I've learned one thing from all of this. I will certainly avoid you from now on. You have one less "idiot" to worry about invading your space, I guess. :thumbsup

And yes, emthree, I am backlogged at the moment. I have been for a few weeks. I had a special on custom TGP design and got quite a few orders, not nearly enough to get caught up, but enough to pay a minimum payment on a couple of utility bills. Then I got a job that was large enough to pay my rent and some back bills, too. They were unwilling to pay even 50% up front, but I took the job against my better judgement because I really needed the money. I spent quite a while working on it, thinking I might actually be able to get caught up finally. Then the client came back, told me he didn't like any of it, and wouldn't pay. After I told him that I'd worked hard and was willing to change it, he told me we would continue to work on it and try to get it right, but of course that put me further behind, having to do the same job twice. I sent him the latest changes to the first site 2 days ago, but I haven't heard from him. Hopefully he will like them and I can finish the other sites up the same way and get paid. He's an honest person, I have no doubt I'll get paid if I can just get these done the way he wants them, but it has set me back HARD.
