I'm probably the last person to disagree with you especially since the 9-5 is not something I want either... I just think you shouldn't be the one to diagnose him and suggest a cure if he were depressed. It seems you were right this time, but that doesn't excuse it.
You don't know either if the guy is really depressed or not, yet you say he is. You are assuming at least as much as SacTown.
Look, when I said "you're not depressed". I was trying to be positive. I was trying to make the guy look at the bright side and show him that there was more out there. I know when I was depressed, it was because I was stuck in a cubicle and when I finally left - my depression lifted. I have experience here and went through a dark time, and I'm seriously trying to help the guy - but Batman jones came in and made me seem like I was being an ******* - but I was seriously trying to help and that's why I'm so furious right now with how people replied to my post.
I understood what you were trying to do, I thought it was pretty clear. I think both of you were trying to help, just coming from different angles.
Hopefully to gain about 30 lbs. eating nothing but McDonald's and Whataburger. Just kidding... 29 lbs. You just made one. :grin: You're getting surgery? CONGRATULATIONS! Pics or GTFO.
Actually i moved to Hawaii in my early 20's and was there for 8 months before i let my dad talk me into coming back(i basically always listened to him). Those 8 months were the most peaceful times I've ever had(except for when Samoans wanted to fight me lol.) Moved to San Diego for a year like 3.5 years ago. Again, one of the most peaceful years of my life. No money and my dad constantly telling me to come back and eventually i did. It's beneficial for him to have me here. I guess it's beneficial for me b.c i don't like getting bills and always try to find someone to live with for cheap/free rent...but i try being realistic about it. Those opportunities i got in Hawaii and San Diego(up until last few months) were for free rent. I won't be getting those opportunities again. As far as the arguing between you two goes. There is no reason why i can't follow both of yalls advice. Both of you were just trying to help.
He said it, not me. If someone said to me, I think I have a headache, I would say then you do have a headache. Depression is a feeling as much as a condition and if one feels it he has it. It's no different from saying I think I have a headache and SacTown saying you don't have a headache, you just need my nifty internet ponzi scheme. I'm not here to debate though. Kronos heard what I had to say. The rest he'll have to figure out for himself, as we all do.
Hey man, I made a detailed post about it in another thread. As for your specific question, you can easily live in SE Asia (Thailand, Philippenes, etc..) for $400 per month or less. Most expensive thing is the plane ticket. Here is my post about it with more detail here: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6522430&postcount=29
You are right, but it gets under my skin when people call what I do for a living a "ponzi scheme" or claim that a well respected website gave their computer a virus. I just wish somebody showed me how to make money online when I was younger. I didn't learn it until my early 30's.
1 full week without, so far. I wasn't a heavy smoker (about a pack a week...sometimes more and sometimes less). I really wanted one this weekend after going out with my wife for a steak and some drinks. I have a feeling I'll always want one.
