Beggar looking for a loan. :(

Let me put it to you this way: Either thoughtless individuals like you are going to start caring and sharing, or desperate angry people like Father and me are going to come for people like you, and make you share. Your choice, and personally option two sounds like more fun. Because we have had it. We are tired of crumbs, and worrying about our health and our wives' health and trying to do better for ourselves and having people like you complain we should try harder. The day we snap, you better run. All over the country, people like you better run. And drop some money to slow us down, some of the money that was made off of our broken backs, our blistered feet while people like you enjoyed golf.

tbenny I can appreciate your situation, and even empathize. I'm the sole supporter of my mother who is 100% disabled. She was denied both her long term disability insurance which she paid for for 20 years of a working career AND for disability from social security because she was only 55 when she became disabled. I've been fighting for more than 5 years to fix this situation and paying her bills the whole time. On top of my own health problems.

So I have a right to call bullshit on this post you made.

Concern and generosity are wonderful things, but no one, here or elsewhere OWES you anything. While I feel for you, I'm beginning to suspect that a large part of your problem is attitude. As long as you believe that you can "snap" and "come and take" what you aren't owed, you have a more serious problem than Addison's disease.

You may have entitlement-itis.

"Crumbs?"

You're lucky you aren't starving somewhere or being eaten by a wild creature because you are too weak to survive on your own. In 90% of the world, Addison's would be a death sentence because no one around you has any crumbs to spare.

In short, please quit your bitching. The fact that you were posting this post instead of writing an article for someone for $3, or whipping up a squidoo lense, or writing a shitty ebook to sell on DP or or whatever tells me you aren't doing everything you COULD be doing to fix your own problems. So you have no right to criticise others for not handing you on a silver platter what you think you deserve.

This is said with the best of intentions man. I believe that our attitude about life contributes more to what we get out of it than most people realize. I'm trying to help by pointing out a place in your attitude where I see you being shortchanged.

You do deserve better, just because you're a human being. But if you aren't willing to do better for yourself, why would you expect others to do it for you?

edit: and just to be clear, I think healthcare should be provided free, without question to everyone. It never should have been a for-profit enterprise because by nature, the competition for, and need for "profit" is ruinous to real research and growth in hundreds of fields.

We should spend a lot less on bombs and guns and a lot more on research. But that's not the world we live in and gnashing your teeth and screaming about how things "should" be is time wasted that could be spent doing more to fix things in the systems that IS.

I offer services for the help I receive, and I agree that it is best to work for the money, but you miss my point. The U.S. has been bought and sold for the rich, and most laws are designed to keep people subservient. It is not that we do not want to earn success, we do not want to be slaves. My attitude is fine, but if this country does not grow up and start appreciating its' working class you and me will both witness the blood flow. Hopefully from a safe distance, but I will enjoy the sight. We will be holding true to the doctrine of Thomas Jefferson. "The tree of liberty from time to time must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

You have a laptop and need to beg for $20? I don't even own a notebook. If you are that desperate - go and pawn something, why ask for other peoples hard earned cash? If you were on the street with nothing to show for yourself - that's another story. Not only do you own a laptop you obviously own a digital camera too as you took a photo, and you have a working internet connection - but don't have $20?

Lay off the pies, eat two minute noodles for a week. Harden the fuck up. Rely on yourself and stop asking for handouts. Go ask your family first - they don't have a spare $20? Please.

As you can see this kinda post makes me mad, there are homeless people out there who need $20 for food and will sift through rubbish and collect tin cans to get it.

That's my opinion, use it or lose it.

Ok, I wasn't looking for this thread to turn into this.. In any case, DaveNL and Dan08, I absolutely agree with you. Although you say things a bit harsh, I agree I should work for what I want. However, I can't work with a power cord like that, and I have a shitload of bills just like everyone else. I was in a pickle, and thought I'd ask for help. Now I see that was a bad idea. I shouldn't have said a fucking word. Each man for themselves, I suppose. Dave and Dan, no hard feelings, I know you're just saying how you feel.

Whackhat, on the other hand, you can suck my cock. I really shouldn't even respond to you, but you're such an asshat I find myself with no other option. I may have a laptop, and I may have a cell phone that I used to take the picture. I'm not a LITERAL beggar, for fuck's sake. That doesn't mean I have the $20 in my Paypal account to order a crucial piece for me to be able to work. I have bills and groceries and pullups to buy, you know, like a REAL person?

So you harden the fuck up, cockmuncher.

MOD: You may delete this thread.

If you'll just give me your paypal, I'll send you the money. This thread got a little out of hand. I don't think there's a problem with anyone asking for a little help when they need it. We're supposed to help others out in need from time to time.

But i see you make postings here, why not for for someone on digitalpoint, there constantly asking for blog and forum posters, i know the rates are fucked up, but common $20- you can make that even with a bad power cord.

In order to check this thread and reply, I've had to type with one hand while squeezing the cord with the other. I only asked for a loan because of the urgency of the situation, not because I didn't wanna pay for it.

Ok .

If anyone else needs $20 u can green for me too lol, we'll both make $20.
http://cash.zeropricetags.com/?REF=49986 thats the link ;-) Clear cookies between offers, use firefox and signup with ur paypal email so ill know where to pay ya!!!

It is hard to tell from the pic but couldn't you just splice the cord back together until you are able to get a new one?

Well, the split is right there at the end of the cord, right on the edge of the plug, so I can't get any extra wire to have enough to splice it together. I did attempt to hack and slash it after it stopped working completely (about 4 or 5 hours ago) but no luck.

Anyway, unlimitedpostings helped me tremendously and I can't say enough about his kindness! I've ordered a new one from ebay and just have to wait for it to be delivered.

PS. Whackhat, sorry I flipped out on ya. I overreacted a bit, but to be fair you really did piss me off. In any case, you didn't really say anything I don't agree with. That's why I felt like shit for having to ask for help. : But luckily there are people who have empathy for those in need!

Sorry, I messed up. There's no the in the domain.

It should be hxxp://freelunchroom.com

The thing is with all the time you have spent posting in this thread you could have commented in like 3 music forums, aol.com music video section, on youtube and mtv videos all by hand and made probably $50+ in ringtone sales.

I've helped a lot of people in need in my life, have donated well over $200 to this forum, and continue to help people for free who pm me here and on irc. However, one should be able to recognize whether this is the business they belong in or not.

FatherCarbon said:

Ok, I wasn't sure where to post this, and I'm actually ashamed to post it..but..

I'm not trying to play the empathy card, but I would like to ask some kind soul for a $20 loan.

*expects to be flamed now*

Anyway, I can't get any work done lately because of this:

That's a pic of my laptop's power cord. It has to be in precisely that position to work. Apparently, either my recliner closed on it when I had it unplugged (btw, I LOVE blackhatting from my recliner ), or something else clipped it right where you see the bend.

In addition, my battery is fuxed and holds like a 2% charge, so if I can't get the plug in exactly the right position (and don't have to get up), the laptop shuts down within a few minutes.

Now ordinarily, I wouldn't have the nerve to ask for a loan from you guys, especially since I'm relatively new. I won't be offended in the least if no one helps me out. I'd be leery too..

So I'm planning to get a new adapter on ebay but I don't have the funds to cover it, and I can't get any work done without it (not to mention I'm an internet junkie, so I gotta have my fix ). If anyone has $20 to spare, I'll pay you back in like a week. (I sound like a crackhead beggin for some cash for rock )

So, there's that. I suppose the JV forum is the best place to post this, as it's a sort of join venture I guess.

If you don't mind helping, just send me a PM. I have Paypal. And remember guys, I hate to post this here but I'm desperate and I'll understand if no one says yes!

Go see our idiot friends at DP.

you cant find something in your house to sell on ebay for $20? lol

This forum cracks me up me sometimes. I see the picture of the cord and the laptop. I myself have been in this situation with the cord only working when you bend it a certain way, so I feel your pain,lol

You are telling them you have to hold the cord to even type here. Yet they still say "work for it" kind of hard one handed holding the cord and taking care of the children.

I don't get why people are drilling you for asking for $20. If you make money on the internet then $20 is nothing right? Makes you wonder how many people here are full of bs about the money they make. I would have given it to you but unlimited beat me to it. There is alot of people scamming but I'm pretty positive your not one of them. Glad there is a few good people left in this world and forum. One word comes to mind Karma...

A $20 dollar loan? Dude, if you can't squeeze 20 dollars out of a few days of discomfort from a power coord, I really can't help you.

Here, i will hand you a measly $100 a month from ad*sense. Make a webpage. If you can't, just google for WYSIWYG html editor... One page. Put something people want on it. Make a video pointing to that thing you want. Put the link in the description. Fall short on your promise, reap clicks... And I did this with a keyword group that payed like $0.03 to $0.08 a click on average.

Now, I only uploaded that shit to one video site, use tubemogul and get more exposure.

Use the 'equity' of your money being visually-shown increasing to people around you and get a 20 dollar loan - from a real person that you know and can physically let them see you log into your auto money making account.

It cannot be easier. Do this 50 times and come back and You give a loan. If you are going to choose to 'make money online', then asking for $20 should never come out of your mouth. In any case of online beggary I suggest you put value into what your investors will be investing in, beyond that of a pat on a back and thanks in advance.

Now, making bigger money than that, that is up to you. I'm still trying to break through. First month I made ten cent, then 10 dollars, then I made 100 monthly for 3 months and now I can foresee my first 300 dollar month come the end of november, but not confidently enough to count chickens. You can do it too, but for 20 dollars, you're going to need someone who says "Fuck it" and giggles off the 20 dollars to paypal.

That shit that was said about dropping dollars to slow down the poor zombies earlier in the topic was foul. I'm a militant rap enthusiast and that shit was rank. my 2 cents. Take it and run, you'll make more than enough for a powercoord.

On a final note, because it really just hit me like a ton of bricks;
I cannot BELIEVE I just saw someone beg not only for a 20 dollar laptop coord, but also for the ability to sit comfortably on your haunches in a recliner to 'do your work'. Why the hell don't you HAVE 20 dollars in your paypal?

You better go write some articles lol. Trust me, I been there, like I said. And this is out there like space.

:rolls eyes:

And have you EVER heard of tape? :sombrero:

hxxp://www.Swatcash.c0m - you will make money.

FatherCarbon,

Why don't you fix the cord? Sounds like it's just a broken wire inside of the insulation. I've found a link for you to take a look at on how you might fix it. If you don't have a soldering iron like they show in the illustration, you can probably get by with some black electical tape. The potential cost to fix your cord is way less than $20. Take a look at the link below:

I could've made $20 just reading this shyt lelel
