Cheap Lunch - Page 3

I practically lived on Ramens back in the lean times but I always seemed to be able to afford my game habit. Nothing like a good set of misplaced priorities.

For a long while if I got to eat burgers and fries everyday I considered myself one lucky sob. I guess It's like high speed internet, one forgets how good he has it after a while.

One Domino's large 3 item pizza $22. Chicken kickers or cheasy bread, tip? Forget about it. Just call it $30

I got SH3 when it hit the shelves, I really dont remember how long ago that was and I still love it.

Wow, Sailor Steve, you really took that to heart, huh? Food really is a touchy subject for most I guess. Seeing we're being all serious here. You assume way too much... In my younger years I was very close to homeless, and did eat in soup kitchens, and was out of work a lot until I got back on my feet, just so you know... I was actually trying to be funny, thus the wink and smilie. Guess it didn't do much good. My nose is far from pristine and I wasn't trying to be condescending at all, just trying to make a joke. But since I've done much better in my older years I have more respect for my body and what I put into it, but I would actually eat that type of "food" again if under similar circumstances....

So were you actually talking from experience or just trying to make a point and assume more than you should have?

Sorry for derailing the thread... I'm done doing that.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but yeah, I spent a year-and-a-half homeless, got things fixed up, spent two years in my own place, lost my job, got invited by a friend to live with him. He took my money and didn't pay the rent. I've been on the streets again for about a month now.

My apologies sir. I can now more easily understand your reaction to my failed attempt at humor. Lesson for the future I guess. Best wishes on getting back on your feet, I know what it feels like to some degree. You impress me as the type that will be successful and has the will and motivation to make it happen. Again, no offense meant.

(I normally would have made this a PM but felt it necessary to say this publicly, again, sorry for the derailment of the thread)

Sailor Steve · 02-24-10, 01:12 PM

Thanks. And no problem.

Well...not really, or else I wouldn't be in this situation.

But that's for the other thread.

$35,000 for 5 bottles of wine and 2 Magnum bottles of Champagne...I could buy a 2010 Dodge Charger SXT with lots of options for (slightly) less...Just to put it in perspective.

Glad I don't drink (anymore)...though if my wife has anything to do with it...I just might start up again.

Regards,
