Update XIX: Melancholy and the Infinite Napping

[they don't love you like i love you]

Bushie: Please give me one good reason to keep the cable package. Any benefit that comes from it.

And as said before, losing discounts if you cancel it does not count. That type of "logic" is well explained here.

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie you gotta cancel this damn-fool cable subscription. Also you need to stop taking any sort of criticism as some sort of grievous personal attack that results in you taking your ball and going home in a childish fit.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Cancel Tulsa, cancel cable or RIP your parents finances forever.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

He always does this. No surprise. Criticism is not allowed.

[AndrewTX]

None of you are allowed to control how his parents spend their money on him.  They offered to pay all his bills and get themselves into debt so that they would work forever. It would be rude of him to not accept.

[Indy Texas]

I'd say their finances are pretty much shot at this point. They don't own a real brick-and-mortar home that would have equity and be appreciating in value. They have a trailer home, which is titled like a car, can only depreciate and cannot be borrowed against except at usurious interest rates. Who knows if they even own the land it sits on.

Hopefully Papa Bushie is old enough to have been vested for a defined-benefit pension from Northrop Grumman or whichever quasi-government corporation he works for.

The Tulsa apartment burning down would actually be a blessing.

[Joe Republic]

The Tulsa apartment burning down would actually be a blessing.

Assuming he pays rental insurance (which apartment management companies usually require), you'd certainly be right.

Hmm... are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Update Season XX: The Gang Burns Down Bushie's Tulsa Apartment

[Adam Griffin]

He's keeping the apartment so that he can briefly relax once every couple of weeks without having to keep the volume "really low" like he does in Grandma's bedroom, duh.

Also, a little gem from the aforementioned link-flashback:

The waste is beyond comprehension.

[WalterMitty]

how much do the parents bushie pay each month for him:

$700 rent?  just a guess.  maybe more or less.
at least $150 for cable.
at least $200 for him to be able to go  out to eat.
another $200 or so to 'snowball' his bills.
at least another $100 for gas and other 'necessities.

where are they getting this money?  im guessing they took out some major loans to finance his life.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Yeah the sad thing is if anyone should declare bankruptcy and kill their credit it's Bushie.

Actually Bushie's credit is already crap anyway. So declaring bankruptcy for him wouldn't be a bad idea.

[Kushahontas]

Also, are you suggesting that God speaks to people directly? I'm always the first to condemn religion, but that's less religion than it is schizophrenia. Though those two maladies are, of course, also correlated.

In point of fact, God spoke directly to Bushie back in 2012, and told him to move to Kenya.  Here's Bushie's transcript of the exchange:

Whoa jmfcst's replies to that were great.

A shame he isn't here anymore. Maybe he could make Bushie realize that Jesus wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars of someone else's money on a deluxe cable package in a location He didn't live in.

Even the jamfist wasn't as conversion whacky and s total literalist like ODF. He fully believed in free will.

I guess God decided he no longer needed an MBA to go to Kenya.

Remember when Bushie quoted what God said to him word for Word?

Just mentioned above. jmfcst pointed out that it was just a bunch of Bible verses strung together.

That thread is gold. And shows how repetitive this all is. Still, I was interested to see that Jeff was set to be banned or put on mod review if he didn't lose a certain amount of weight. It must have been a motivator:

IIRC he admitted to completely lying about that round of weight loss.

He may have. My Update reading was off-and-on at that point.

[windjammer]

Where is Xahar with the current weight tracker?

[WalterMitty]

bushie shouldve gotten the mba.  it would have been better to go in debt for that rather than cad(D)

Assuming he didn't flunk out.

Lol I forgot about that one. The pounds were just flying off by the day. 255 lb!
