I'm back with more justifiable complaints about the econimy that
effects both US, and Europe. I whent to Geico dot com last night
to see how mutch I could save on the new 2005 Suzuki Forenza I
just started leasing. I filled in all the Form Fields, and pressed
submit. I was glad to see with my stats, which included only 1 car
accident, and the Transponder Key System, seemed to be factors
in my quote of $650.00 every six Months.
This had me on my toes cause you have to have certain features on
your Insurance when Leasing a Car in the US; I was expecting ~$750-
.00 or close to it. Today I called the one eight hundred number and
gave my information to the human this time. After he ran the Numbers
he came up with $1.5k, and I was like WTF. I had to sacrifice alot of
features to get it down to $975.00 every six months. This is bad, cause
I bring home ~$500.00 when I work a full week at my current job.
I also have rent,$750.00+ a month, Power ~$300.00 a month, and
about 5 more bills like ISP etc.., that does not include the shit that
pops up on a weekly bases.
My cell phone is currently shut off, 1 month behind, and to make ends
meet I am selling my 5.0L Tbird, and I had to trade a caddilac fleetwood
in to get the Suzuki. I'm flat broke now! I am on a 2Ghz DELL and running
NetZero 3G. The damn thing has 128MB of DDR, and is running a Cracked
version of XP Pro that I actually bought for $25 out of a local paper.
On the plus side, the Suzuki is damn good on Gas, and I'm going to NC State
majoring in Computer Science. I work for a Software company that I will
not mention. I'm going to set up a old Desktop that I can run a spread-
sheet on to manage my Bills. BTW, I bring home about $475.50 on average
per week as a Programmer/Analyst at the company I work for, I was
expecting more. I can barely pay the rent. Whare is a Hippy commune
when you need one?
I am also running 13WATT Fluoresents throught my House, most of my
appliances are energy star; it helps a little.

electricity is $300? damn.. mine is $100- $120. I don't have a cell phone because they're quite pointless unless you want to be hastled all the time. I'm sure i'll get one at some point but I'll likely have the cheapest yet still functional plan. My internet is $40 a month. you think YOUR insurance is bad. Pick a car, any car... My insurance is gonna be atleast $900 every 6 months. certain things also lower insurance. Put a small fire extinguisher in it... That lowers it by $100 most of the time IIRC. small relatively inexpensive things like that help out.
Now might be a good time to mention that i recently found out that insurance does differ from company to company by as much as a few hundred.

A few hundred?
I was quoted ?1700 by one company for third party insurance for a motorbike, after shopping around for a week or so I settled for a company offering the same for ?258.
GF's post? TL/DR...

I pay rouphly three hundred for 50KWH a Month. I
should live with my Parents like most people my
age do, but then I would just be a freeloadin loser.
To get Insurance that low you must live in Europe!
specially for a MotorCycle.
By the way, what is "TL/DR" suppose to mean?

I do live in Europe, hence the ?pound sign.
Too long/Didnt read - Although it's not the fact that it's too long that I didn't read it. Spelling, punctuation and layout make reading something a lot easier. However, your post was lacking in these departments while Therapists was easily readable, to say the least.

Well, according to the English Language Grammer, My Punctuation
is right. My sentences and spelling may be off a little, but not
enouph that anyone who can read English would not be able to
understand the Subjects and Verbs.
I could run it through a Grammer and Spelling checker, but it
would probably only find maybe 6 mistakes; mostly retaining
to my Sentence Structure. I actually found 4 Grammer mistakes
in your most previous post.

Im not talking about grammar in general. I know the majority of people, especially on the internet, would not follow correct English grammar.
However, spelling and punctuation are two things which are easy to watch... a typo here or there, or a last scentence typed in a hurry is one thing, but lets take a look at one of your posts.

I pay roughly $300 for 50KWH, per month. I should live with my parents like most people my age, but then I would just be a freeloading loser.

Nine mistakes in five lines of text.
*Month can actually be Capitalised even though I am
not reffering to a specific Month, according to the rules
of English Grammer.
The term *rouphly is both used, and spelled correctly.
*freeloadin could use a -g- to have the -ing- on the end,
but I purpously left it like that.
Yes, I agree,- specially- should have the first letter
capitalised after that Exclamation.
A Motorcycle, although not used specificlly, can still
have a Capitalised first letter if used as the subject of
a sentence.
Those are all High School level English skills, mostly relating
to subject-verb agreement, and capitalisation. Might I
suggest you pay more attention in school?

Pay more attention in school? Ha... sure.
No entry found for rouphly.
Did you mean roughly (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=roughly)?
If you want to use freeloadin, without the g on the end there is a little thing you use which shows there have been a letter/letters missin'... see?
There is little point in me arguing with you over the English language when you have obviously been quickly shot out of the American Education System while I am a product of one of the most respected education systems in the world. I'm not claiming to be perfect, but I know what Im talking about.

Get a Thesaurus! It's rouphly.
The rest of your post makes no valid point.

Greenflame, you were obviously home-schooled... Look, nobody really cares if you make an honest mistake spelling. Hell, we all do it. Nobody really cares if you forget a punctuation mark or capitalisation. We all do that too. What we do give a fuck about is that we all try to make our posts legible and you don't. Why waste our time reading your piles of english excrement when you don't even put in an effort.
Here's a few tips:
http://www.dictionary.com & http://www.thesaurus.com are your new best friends. Y'know, from previous and excessive use of drugs, my brain isn't what it used to be. I went from winning every spelling competition when I was a kid to forgetting how to spell alot of words with more than two syllables. That is why those two links are in my FF bookmarks toolbar.
http://englishplus.com/grammar/captcont.htm - Now, please read over this about capitalisation and then admit that you are wrong...

Don't try to make others look like fools, 'cos you are the idiot and will be the one ending up with a red face...
