(+) Yeah! (+)

Hmm, your school should have a pantry for students who are food poor. Also look up your state and local area for any assistance programs.

Does anybody else start reading some wolfy posts but then give up? I read his first one where he tried to explain tuna and bread but I completely gave up on reading the other ones. His posts are exhausting to read, and I say that as somebody who often struggles to be concise

Rice and eggs

I would imagine there's free access to water somewhere, but how about getting a jar of peanut butter and having a bit of it each day (for protein). there has to be a way for you to get food from school, don't they have breakfast, lunch, dinner.

though whenever you do get money again, i'd recommend getting generic/store brand stuff

Rice and eggs

I was able to find 18 eggs for $1.88 at Walmart, so that is a good idea though idk what egg prices are like at his area.

yes. i do it all the time now.

i don't care dude. just get to the point. even PO in his heyday wasn't as exhausting to read.

PO, Zeus, wolfy...


Is there something about being 10+ years older than the average poster here that makes someone write ridiculously long-winded posts?

i'll at least read PO, wolfy i just kind of skim, and zeueueueueueus is just pointless to read since he never has a point so there's no payoff to reading him

Yeah, I usually just skip his posts. The guy is a clown.

not really.

PO's posts can be decent, but there are some subjects I can tell he's just delving way deeper in than necessary and I bail when that happens.

Zeus is too obsessed with quoting and responding to every single little thing.

wolfy's problem is he does that thing where he makes these paragraphs that are only one or two sentences (kind of like this post), but when there are like 10 of them in one post it really looks unappealing

even i think that'd be excessive and consolidate the post

and that's pretty much my entire posting style

Don't you have friends or parents? >_> Pretty sure they wouldn't let you starve.

lol having friends

I wouldn't/couldn't/won't/can't ask my parents for money

Imagine living in a country where it's legal to sell your bodily fluids and not having money.

Hey, I brought this up earlier and said I was going to look into it!

If your friends / parents are horrid enough to let you starve, you need new friends and to never talk to your parents again.

Friends and family are there to help each other. That's what they do. Needing help when you're really down on your luck is not the same as being a dependent mooch, and you shouldn't be ashamed to ask for it, nor should they be so heartless as to refuse it.

If your parents are garbage, do you have no cousins / aunts / uncles / grandparents / siblings / insert other relatives here who would help you? If your entire family is garbage then you have my deepest condolences and a food pantry is probably the way to go.

I used to read PO but he's just too much of a downer and I don't hate myself enough to meet him in the mire anymore
