Captain Yossarian posted:I want to send ASFB a care package from the good ole US but he's too busy You're right that I was busy. Yesterday I went to take the trash out, and accidentally sniffed out a weed party at my neighbor's, so naturally I invited myself over in order to sample the goodies, which means that I soon became too baked to post. PUI is bad, m'kay? I'm in a thoroughly festive mood. The mailman woke me up this afternoon, as he frequently does, and handed me THE Letter from Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. In precisely 30 days from now, the country of Slovenia will pay me no less than 6923.69 €. That's a lot of money. I think we already discussed this issue, on how the Slovenians froze the foreigners' assets in the Bank of Ljubljana, in the wake of Yugoslavia bursting at the seams and about to explode in a series of ethnic wars. That was a seriously rear end thing to do back then, but this money kept the Slovenian economy afloat while the rest of then-Yugoslavia was penniless. Geez, this is the letter I've literally been waiting for the past 25 years. It's one of those spectacular "once in a lifetime" things that happen only in cheesy movies.

redreader posted:Congrats on your 'unexpected' windfall, mr "luck 18" character! None of this would have happened if Germany hadn't pressed the Slovenians into paying out the people - the former clients of the Bank of Ljubljana. This is a relatively recent development and just a year ago, the Slovenians still maintained that the money was (and still is) - in Belgrade. This was the official stance, meaning that even if Slovenia reluctantly agreed to return some of the money, there was no guarantee on how and when it would have happened. Not before 2020AD, anyway. I guess, uh, danke, Merkel!

Puppy Galaxy posted:you should spend it all on drugs Biperiden is dirt cheap, I'm getting tramadol for free, and I can always bum out a bud or two from my friend. Had I gotten this money just three years ago, you can bet I would have spent it all on hard drugs, but now? It makes no sense anymore. Half the money should be considered as already spent, because I intend to pay out the people who gave me money - knowing that I'm not the kind of person who'd screw them over. One guy gave me no less than $2000. I'll reward him with some interest because he really is a great person and I don't know how I would have pulled through this hadn't it been for him and his generous donations. I suppose it's hard to resist a bald chemo head. The other half of this money will be spent on booze. Kidding! Or maybe not.

Don't spend it on drugs, spend a little bit of it on something more interesting than drugs. Why not get a decent enough computer and get some games? Or like learn pottery or something. I think you'll feel a lot more happy if you go and invest in a skill or something less transient than drugs.

Shadow0 posted:You can finally afford a bath plug!!! Thanks for not harshing my mellow on this wonderful night. I'll invest some money in my own apartment - yes, I'll be getting a bath tub plug, and I'll also pay some professionals to repaint my walls, doors and windows. There aren't any major blemishes on the walls, it's just that they haven't been painted in a really long time, the walls have faded to grey and the oil paint on the windows has tarnished to yellow. The place looks kinda dingy right now but it doesn't need to be that way! I know there'll be trouble with the bath tub plug - the drain hole size is nonstandard, uh well it actually IS standard but an ancient one, I've seen bathtubs from 1929 with that drain plug size, and the old standard was abandoned by mid 70s, a few years after the Roach Tower was finished. I'll have to hunt down a compatible plug.

Captain Yossarian posted:because I don't want you to have to rummage through a dumpster for a pack of smokes I got home three minutes ago and it looks like I found accidental dumpster romance After drinking a 2L bottle of cat piss, I went out to dumpster dive as usual. I spotted an immaculate beer can in the dumpster and just as I was getting close and personal with my trash, a girl approached me and asked if I'd like to take her bottle. I said no problem, but then she got confused as her bottle was still full: I then noticed that she was high as a kite. We ended up sharing a swig from a bottle and then she introduced herself to me: her name is Vesna and she is a fashion photographer (with a sweet tooth for weed, apparently.) She then asked me to accompany her to the nightclub and I agreed, all while asking why don't we make a stop at the cafe in the shopping mall and I had to decline (they kicked me out multiple times already.) When we got to the nightclub, I gave her my phone number and she gave me a cigarette - it turned out that she is quite literally my neighbor - she lives in "Block C" while I'm living in "Block E." When we parted, she offered me her plastic bottles and leftover hand-me-down food, and I agreed. I was drunk and she was high - do you think it'll end like this? Gee I hope not - she seemed really nice.

I'm in a good mood. Took 20 xannies, drank a mug of (good) beer and smoked two blunts. It's around 3:30 in the morning and Waldo just came back from work and paid his rent. That's not the point of this post, however. I decided to be a decent human being for once and to forego everything Waldo owes me since it's mathematically impossible for him to repay everything he owes me - and he owes me a lot in unpaid rents and utilities; about $1400 in rent and lord knows how much in back utilities, but it doesn't matter anymore. I see that he's working his rear end off for nothing, and I'd feel like a tremendous piece of poo poo for kicking him out after all we've been through together. Waldo is 36 years old but has a face of an emaciated 65-year old who's suffering from malnutrition and has been through a wood chipper. How could I tell him to beat it? I mean, seriously? Anyway, my plan is that we're starting from scratch the following month. The balance between the two of us will be zero. On the other hand, I decided to change my business model: from now on, he'll be paying me 250 euros a month (instead of 200) but the utilities will be included in that sum and I will be the one to go out and pay them. This way I can be sure that the utilities are actually being paid on time and that there won't be any unpleasant surprises afterwards. Fifty euros is roughly the amount of money needed for the utilities at the end of every month in Property C where Waldo lives. Waldo was overjoyed and he gave me a brotherly hug, saying that there won't be any problems from now on. And if there are problems, I'll see the problem immediately and won't have any qualms about kicking him out post-haste. The only bad thing about all of this is that Waldo tends to leave food scraps everywhere and now he's having a pretty serious roach infestation. He seems to be fine with that, and while he's in there, I won't make an effort to exterminate the roaches (as I did in Property B where I'm living) because it likely would have been a wasted effort. Btw, Vesna didn't call.

Oh, forgot to say, Waldo offered to repaint the walls in Property B where I'm living, and I'm all for that - paint itself is cheap, but workmanship is expensive. My walls could really use a touch-up.

I commend you on your generosity and good heart OP but imo that offer you made Waldo will bite you in the rear end. He was working hard because he knew he has a debt but now he'll learn that you can write those off and will start slipping up again. I genuinely hope I'm wrong though!

Fatbeard, I have been lurking your thread for a while and it is awesome. I hope the romance works out. This weekend I saw Eurovision for the first time (I live in New Zealand) and the Croatian song was... interesting. Did you watch it and is Eurovision generally a big thing in Croatia? I thought it was hilarious and am sad my country hasn't been invited.
