I was thinking maybe i can get laid off so I could collect unemployment while I mass poker. And be real picky about a new job for a month or so while staying at my GFs or whatever.

On August 26 2007 06:45 fight_or_flight wrote:+ Show Spoiler +You need to calm down and think about this. First of all, what is the exact situation?
1) Who owns the house?
2) How sick is your grandmother?/Is it possible she could die?
3) How rich is she/who is in her will?
If she has a little bit of money and she seems sick, I would say that your relatives are trying to screw you over for the money/whatever she has, as sad as it is for me to say it. If you have a pretty good relationship with her, maybe you and your mom should talk about this and make a plan, then approach her in the hospital and see what she has to say. If its clear that your relatives are manipulating her, get her to sign a lease with you saying that you can stay in the house, for x amount of money each month, or in exchange for taking care of her.
You really don't need to go out on the street and lose all your stuff, and there is a pretty good likelihood that you will come home one of these days and all your stuff will be out on the curb. What you need to do is find a storage place with a $1 for the first month deal, then get that incase you need to move all your stuff out in a hurry.
If your relatives start throwing your stuff out on the street, and they don't own the house, you need to call the police. They have no right to do that, and need some type of written thing from your grandmother to do it. Just remember, they are trying to steel from you and your mom, and you need to screw them over before they can screw you over.
You said they want you out before your grandmother comes home. Why is this? It sounds to me like they are trying to manipulate her, and if she comes home and you are still there, they are afraid she will change her mind. You need to remember that what your relatives are doing is a very evil thing, and they are your enemies now. There is a reason they are doing this, its because they are much older than you and have learned how to screw people over and manipulate them. You don't need to be some airhead and just go along with it, like you are some 12 year old.
First step, secure your things. Second step, write up a lease with your mom and get your grandma to sign it.
Also, don't let your uncle find out about your plans. Just call him up and talk like an idiot like you are going to go along with it, tell him where you plan on staying, say "ok, yes sir!!!" so he thinks that things are going his way, and he will be less likely to put pressure on you, to buy yourself some time.
Also, if worse comes to worse, go to a church and ask for help (like if you are about to loose all your stuff).
Hope that helps. That's some very good advice.
CharlieMurphy, this is a serious situation. Man up and face it to your best.

Any form of school is not for me, Thats part of the reason why I did the test.
I'm not saying school is worthless but I'm just not made to the rules and bullshit associated with school. I prefer to learn on my own or with specific reasons/persons.

CharlieMurphy get a job first and make sure you're stable, you may have to help support your sister and her boyfriend and playing poker won't do that. To much risk, you could bust and be in even more trouble. Get a job until you're stable.

your mom isn't paying a dime to help? $200 isn't enough.

well at jobcorps u end up with a roof, training for a trade and a job.. plus a way to get out of your current environment (that is if you want out).
|
what about ur sis, her bf and your mum? i don't get... even if ur sis can not do work, thats still 3 labour hands? not that hard to work out something around that?
|
Charlie, do you remember that thread you made about that bullet cartridge in your lawnmower? Maybe it was your aunt/uncle. :O
|
Well, another thing you could consider is going into an apprenticeship program. Basically, you work with people to learn a skill, such as being an electrician, carpenter, etc. Basically, they pay you to work with them for a while, until you get a certificate. No classroom, just working. And they make pretty good money too:

I love how so many people get the idea that they are fairly good at poker, when they actually havent done it for big $$$, and thus make a decision that when they get money they will put it in poker, and those skills that won them those fun games with friends will also support them when they are living off crackers, unemployment, with no commodities but a comp and internet acsess.

Wow... even with someone so down on his luck and in such a hard spot in life, I still find it hard to feel bad for you after comments like this.  Charlie, you seem cool, but when you think you're going to play poker and do well, and then abuse public services for your own personal benefit, it makes me think maybe your uncle kicked you out for a REALLY good reason.
|
If you havent played online poker before you DONT know how to play poker at all, live poker with friends isnt real poker.
But first of all why in the fuck did you idiots just got out of the house and didnt fight it?... go to your grandma and ask her WTF is going on, if she is behind this convince her to take u back in, if she still refuses wish her a painfull death and set your uncle's cars on fire.

You might aswell collect disability to fuel your bw playing! For one, disability goes to stoners so they dont have to work, so I guess you could get some too.
This is what taxes is for!

As much as your situation sucks Charlie, I actually think you are a lazy shit. A hard job is nothing hard to come by. It takes basic skills to get a 12$/hr job.
I've never been given anything in my life. Always poor, never had shit, never had a solid family constantly being kicked out and I'm 19 own a house in Georgia and a condo in South Florida..................... seriously dude lol get some ambition and life skills. A quick swift in the ass is truly the only way to inspire a lazy person to do anything. Trust me I know.
Stop trying to find easy ways out of life. Being the house maid/lawn boy and playing poker for a living? Pick up a hammer or learn how to look pretty and type up some documents for a lawyer.
