Oh i also managed to blow up my toaster yesterday as well, with 3 foot high flames almost lighting up the microwave ..

plus waiting around emergency rooms all day an all night is boring …….

im really really hoping they wont operate an that it will heal on its own ..

i know you cant really say i wish yesterday never happened .. but i kinda wish yesterday never really happened …

You ever ran out of  money? like none literally … not even enough to eat … say for a day or so … or maybe longer or whatever?

What did you do? sit it out, eat the cupboard? ask your family, maybe a brother – friend? go to centre link, go to a eat out?

Or did you grab the nearest felt pen marker and cardboard, create a sign ‘Need change’, or your more the Oliver Twist style, dress up in your rags, grab that trusty old pan an hit the streets with your best cockney …

‘Allo, allo, allo, scuse me M’aam, lend a bruva a dolla’ and then break out your best rendition of Oliver’s ‘Consider yourself’

Or, did you just post on your blog.

‘lol, i have no money – click on my paypal button an give me all that you can, i so appreciate it – thanks guys ‘

At some point in time I’m guessing most ppl are saying yes to the first half of that hypothetical, then maybe a very small percentage who have had to resort to the street begging stuff, which is unfortunate, none the less …

Which brings me to my point …. Virtual begging?  Virtual pan handling?

I’ve read four  blogs in as many days, exactly doing that , Begging or virtual pan handling … the old trend usually was to be a plea to help with hosting costs , legal fees which actually can help , but generally its just  bullshit .. but not anymore .. its just .. I’m broke give me your money … then with a obligatory lol or giggle attached  in a kinda yes im sleazy an totally not joking omfg lollerskates way … Hell some people even ask for subscriptions .. not just a one off, but subscriptions … jesus ..

Unfortunately for most of these sites an this one , the local fish n chip shop notice board holds a bigger readership…  This is a fine line here ppl , an it makes me feel creepy… Dont get me wrong , i have no problem with this model only if the product is good, and i mean … realllllly good.

Lets do the numbers on this ,  this blog holds around 1500 unique avg readers a day , lets say I need money , ask for $5, lets say 10% take it up, the closer the community the more they will reply, that’s $750 bucks obtained for being a flea, to the people you probably appreciate most … now imagine doing that weekly sorry i mean a ’subscription’ – thats 36 grand year,

Okay thats for a small site 36k a year , now for a site with decent traffic times that table buy say x100, you do the math, not bad jam if you ask me …

Furthermore,  a couple things.. no no , wait , I cant be bothered,  just four words for this lost …

Get a fucking job.
