You don't have to explain anything to anyone, but one thing I wondered, if this is legit, what's your brother doing to help? Sounds like nothing.

You seem like an okay guy, but something about this doesn't sound right.

I find it very hard to believe someone genuinely pulling in $95k/year (probably better than most here) would bother asking for $2k, so if it was all BS, and you're just flat broke, then anyone who who lends you the money is unlikely to see it again.

I'm sure you'd want to pay it back, but wanting to and being able to do so are two different things.

Selling family organs is a huge mistake Roald. They are the best possibility for a genetic match if you later need organs. Harvesting for storage is a much better bet long term. ;)

hm good point...

Sell your ass on the streets!!!!

Looks like we have a buyer.

That's why explaining this is so hard because HE's the huge problem in all of this but I don't want to get into all of that and why...

It seems like people are mad at me now, so forget I asked, I'll figure something out.

$10 and we have a deal! my dog can use some exercise :thumbsup

/joking

$25

I'm just surprised by the people here admitting that they are broke as well. A lot of the people admitting it are very vocal on this forum.

While he does indeed talk about himself and his earning power in some of those posts, they are more indicative of someone who is grounded and someone who maintains the positive outlook of an optimist (an endangered species on GFY) than they are of someone who is trying to gloat or brag or do anything like that. He does not show off and he does display any of the typical "African American Wealthy' tendencies that seem to impress a large portion of those who post on GFY. Not only that, but it seems like he often goes out of his way to help that one guy who always posts the stupid questions. That's pretty much charity work. He's a good guy.

Well, whatever the situation, good luck.

I agree, he seems like a good guy. This thread just seemed strange when I recalled him as someone who (credibly at the time) talked about how well he was doing. Also, before we elevate him to Sainthood, he hasn't been above taking shots at Paul Markham over the latter's relative success.

Very true.

A self proclaimed SEO guru panhandling for $1k.

Sounds legit.

lol, I've been messing with Paul since before I was on GFY.. It's all in fun and I never really 'abuse' him, just business old people jokes.. :upsidedow

I can pay back pretty quick, but yeah I understand the skepticism

Or both? ;p

GFY should implement a new policy and ban fucktards like this.

That was more of a joke.. It's the most expensive part of a furniture blog network that I do and I'm not really expecting sales from it.

Nice chatting with you. Good luck turning things around.

It was part of a batch of blogs that I just imported after parsing product CSVs. Tables are where the sales are..
But I might as well make a sofa blog. Do kw research for 'sectional sofa' 'nice sofa' 'quality sofa' etc and tell me it's not worth trying since each sale is about $900 for me, plus more people buy furniture online than at stores..

I'm at work right now since I got a real job, btw..

i'll loan you a hundred hit me up on icq

These mods run around here banning people left and right because some little whiney pussy had his fewings hurt but what who they need to start banning is this pan handling / borderline scams that go on here.

How about a new rule: ask for money and the hammer drops.

At least if you decide to do gay-for-pay cams - with no hydro/internet your family won't know about the cam shows (until the hydro bill gets paid).

It'll just be our little secret, shhhh!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I didn't even notice that section, thanks!

And thanks to everyone that gave me enough jobs for the weekend to pay for the bills that I need to!

I should have just asked for jobs with some kind of up front pay to begin with instead of how I did it. I didn't expect this kind of response since I've seen others asking the same thing before, though, so excuse me if I offended anyone and thanks again to those who gave/found me some work to do! :upsidedow

(This won't happen again)

Go to the nice neighborhood and find someone you do not know in any way, shape or form.

I think J-Man has something going and Eddie with Xindustry Jobs as well.

The best I can do is offer you a commission.

You don't have anything you OWN worth 5-6 grand you can pawn for 2 grand for a month or so? Car, jewelry, etc? ... Shit pawn one of your houses!
