The concept of professional anything is different in Croatia than in other parts of the world. Remember that Fatbeard is a professional landlord.

I'll keep this post brief because the power supply in my computer is on its last legs and it could crap out at any moment, and I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment. Waldo is seriously ill. Looks like one of his lungs collapsed while he was at work, and he was rushed to the hospital. I visited him at the hospital and he told me that doctors don't know yet what is the problem. Waldo must have lost something like 20 pounds because he doesn't eat well and works way too much – unfortunately, I think he's a serious candidate for karoshi. Today I was rifling through the trash cans at the bus stop, and one young dude approached me and gave me a 20 Kuna bill (that's around $3.50) because he must have felt sorry for me. I was pretty surprised, I must say. I applied for a job at a car wash place but I didn't get the job because they said I was "too old for this kind of job". God dammit.

I finally have some good news. My grandad had a large deposit of hard currency money in the Bank of Ljubljana (ljubljanska banka) The assets got frozen in 1991 after Yugoslavia fell apart. LB reasoned that they can't pay out their clients because "all the money is in Belgrade" which was pure hogwash. Twenty-five years later, EU forced Slovenia to play fair and pay out their clients. I have something like $7000 in frozen assets, and after EU chewed out the Slovenians, they decided to FINALLY pay out their clients. I'll probably see my money in 2016, and it'll be enough dough to repay everyone who borrowed me money. Good thing I speak Slovenian, as the forms I had to fill in were printed in Slovenian language. $7000 is a rough estimation of the amount of money deposited in the 1980s, and there's a 25-year interest going to be added too. Hurray?

A Sweaty Fatbeard you are a lot like me in that you constantly inherit money from relatives that you waste on drugs, but i can actually manage my life. I don't cook chairs or go through the rubbish bins at the bus stop. Admittedly the differences might just be down to croatia.

We're pretty inclusive. I actually know very little about bicycles. Back in my heyday I used to cycle on my 70s tardcycle for around ~20 miles every single day after school (instead of studying and/or doing homework), then one day I got me a computer and I gradually became too lazy for long bike trips and eh.  Actually the worst traffic accident I ever caused was when I was on a bike: I was riding down the road, going in parallel with a trail of parked cars and a dog suddenly teleported in front of me from between the cars and I didn't see him until it was too late - and ploughed my bike right into him. I ran over a dog, the pooch was fine but I was not: the doggie collision launched me over the handlebars and I ended up with badly scraped knees. The dog just kept barking in confusion, and I don't blame him. This happened in early 90s when there weren't any dog leash laws yet or dedicated dog parks at all.

Yeah, I might stop by them, I remembered just how FUN is to drive a bike. The bike I'm using now is more than 20 years old but it's in a pretty good shape, apart from the rear brake - the brake is actually fine but a bowden cable is missing altogether. The front brake is working really well though. Also imagine how many trashcans I could check out when on a bike! To me, trashcans are a Mario thing, Mario collects 100 coins and gets a 1-up, I collect 26 cans and get a beer. Lead out in cuffs posted:Getting involved with them might also be a good way of curing boredom, if you're struggling to find a job. IN FACT, looks like I got a job and will be starting this Thursday! I'll be reading out the gas meters in peoples apartments, the job is only temporary but it pays pretty well. I'm only worried about one thing, and it's that I might get bitten by a pissed dog while trying to read out a meter (should I carry an emergency steak to distract a dog with?)

Oh boy, here comes my beer! (I even found a Starman - a 1 Kuna coin on the sidewalk)  Another thing, why is it that every time something interesting happens outside, I don't have a camera along with me? I witnessed a police raid in which a 20L plastic drum of something was seized, and an enormous 155mm howitzer shell. The shell was so heavy that a burly fella could barely pick it up and load it in the police jeep. Fortunately for everyone that the shell was defused, but I definitely wouldn't want to drop that thing, defused or not. The leftover ammo/weapons is a major problem in Croatia. You can hand over your loot to the police and you won't be charged with anything. This was instated after people started throwing their bombs and mines in the trash or by the roadside, where anyone could find and pick them up (mostly by children.) Hell, this isn't even news anymore. I'm reading the Croatian portals right now and they don't even mention finding an enormous bomb in Zagreb. News crews these days react only when there's something absolutely extraordinary found - such as that time last year, when the police found a complete and working AA cannon in some old guy's garage.

Geniasis posted:You live in the strangest country. I mean sure, lots of countries are dealing with the whole leftover armaments thing, but who just puts bombs in the trash??? People were afraid that they would be charged with "possession of illegal arms" if they tried to give their (rusted and badly aged) landmines and other illegal arms to the police. That's the reason you can now hand over your stash of poo poo to the police year-round and you won't be charged with anything, because calling the cops over 43 rusted landmines and two AKs is much preferred to throwing them out your car's window (and having them discovered by kids).

Well, so it happens again - a few hours ago I got some money from a guy on the street. He first saw me rifling through a bin at the bus station, he had an empty juice bottle with himself so he immediately gave it to me, as well as a baggy of empty plastic bottles he himself collected someplace else. I went on my way then, after thanking him, but the guy went after me, hailed me across the intersection and gave me a fistful of coins (it was roughly $3 in loose change.) I can buy no less than five loaves of bread with the bottles and money I got from him.  Croats are a rowdy but actually a very friendly bunch, I guess. v  v
