I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE!!!!!
I have GOT to get out of here!!! They are driving me nuts. They keep demanding more and more. They don't seem to understand I am leaving and need to keep a little money. They now have a $2 charge on doing Laundry and taking showers!!
Oct. 5th can NOT come fast enough!!!!
All I want is on that bus ASAP!!
Man, I just want to go home so bad I can taste it!!!
ADD) As I say in Post 3, it would not be so bad if they were not getting the lion's share as it is. And To finish paying them off, I need to keep me and try to keep my only pair of Kakis looking good.
Well, water costs money, and soap too. Also, there's the depreciation on any machinery and plumbing that's used. And someone, probably not Amber, has to clean out the shower that she uses; there's the cost of labor and cleaning materials involved here.
I don't see anything wrong with her sisters charging her.

1. Where are you?
Do you need a rescue? The A Team?

2. I just need Oct. 5th. to hurry up and come so I can get on the Bus back to Tucson!
My 'family is try a new approach at getting more money out of me.
They know I have a ticket and they don't like it. One sis was expecting me to take over here trailer payment over and pay it of for her.
Fat Chance!
I am not going to pay off her home for her. She says it is the lest I can do since I abandoned the family to go to school.
COME ON Oct. 5th.

3. It would not be that much if I had it to spare.
But with having to pay them so much already, I don't have it to spare!
They are getting the lion's share as it is. And to finish paying them off I need to keep clean and to try and keep the only pair of Kakis looking good. But they want to get what they can and to hell will everything else.

4. Is there any other place that you can go?
Are there any hotels/motels/YWCAs or whatever in you area that offer a weekly rate that might be less then what you are paying your family? I don't know if Craig's List or any other sites might have information on people looking for roommates. Or can you post somewhere on line that you need a short term boarding situation for just a few weeks.
Edit to add - I would not blame you if you turned your back on these people once you are able to return to Arizona.

She keeps bitching about having to pay her family off but never mentions what for. I expect they sent her money to come home but that wouldn't take the "majority" of her meager paycheck. They certainly know how to drive her nuts though. I'm guessing this is payback for her lording her education over them.

IIRC, there used to be a rendering plant south of Joplin. But maybe the tornado got it instead of her......
-
What a kook....
-
$2 is still probably less than using a laundromat. The shower charge seems weird, but maybe she is taking ridiculously long showers and raising the water bill, or she just plain isn't pitching in as they expect, and so they've resorted to fees.
-
I know Pilot has showers, maybe Love's as well. Yes, there is a fee to use them... someone has to clean up the place.

Camping grounds in kalifornia charge 25 cents per 90 seconds, 3 quarter minimum for 4.5 minutes. If the government does it shouldn't her sisters? All is good from government according to every single DUchebag.

Her family did pay for the bus ticket back to Joplin when Dave and Chad tossed her out on her left ear. One of her sisters posted on Facebook that she was happy to have her sister back there last July. I think they're now trying to recoup their losses and know exactly what Amber is up to - she wants to go back there and reconcile with Dave no matter what she says otherwise.

She's a primitive. This would have zero effect on her finances as they don't take showers. Hence, no expense.
-
I really wonder what her families side of the story is.

Thats it. She contributes NOTHING for her upkeep. I'm betting she does no housework either.
This gal is a total leech.

If you've seen the family's pics you wouldn't know how right you are...
-
I've seen her. With all the details she's posted, it wasn't a difficult conclusion to come to.
-
As she's riding the bus back to AZ.....maybe she should open the window, stick her head out and shout, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."......SPLAT....the mirrors on an oncoming semi truck will solve all her problems.
-
Amber's sis Crystal is a pretty rough-looking character. If she says it's two bucks for a shower, Amber better pay up. But whoa, Amber will shower away forty bucks between quitting her job and when she buses off to the Tucson flophouse. That's a day's pay. Then she's got that one pair of khakis to launder.
Did she ever say why she had to wait until October to leave? Is she waiting for that Wishadoo! stash to grow? Why not take her bus ticket, unspendable ten-dollar debit card, put mom's groceries in a doggy bag, and take off now? Next week, she could be back in Dave's loving bony arms. Or maybe not.

I know Pilot charges $13 for a private shower room. If she buys $50 in fuel, she can get a free shower, though.

8. If it were me, this is what I would do...
I would realize that these people aren't going to let me go without a fight. I would not give them any more money. I would take my money and find a short-term place to live until October. I would take my shit and go, no telling them, no forwarding address. If I needed an address for mail, I rent one of those private mailboxes and fill out a change-of-address with the USPS.
Then, once I got to Arizona and found a place to live and a job and felt secure, I would send payments to my family - maybe.

9. Oh, I have thought of that as so have they.
I am out in the woods basically. It is a very rule Trailer park. I have no transportation save dad's car.
And if I do do that they will call the cops on me and get me for not paying them. Not sure what trouble that will cause.
I do have a name for a taxi service but it will cost $25 for them to come and get me.
So I am thinking of using the PayPal that I set up to try and hide some from them. But it still will be very little for me.
It is true that money is the root of all evil!

10. The police can't arrest you for a personal debt.
Your family would have to pay a lawyer to file a case in a civil court.
Lady Freedom Returns (5,898 posts) Fri Sep 6, 2013, 07:29 PM
11. As I said beatable yes.
But the he said she said is the killer. As in was it a personal debt or thief. I have seen them lie to the police before to cause people trouble. And they have pulled stuff to me like this before, a long time ago, but they have and will do it again.
Stupid me for believing they have changed over time.
And My job ends the 14th. so I get to be stuck out here with them.
Uh, franksolich has a question.
She's leaving for Tucson on October 5.
Her last day at the convenience store is September 14.
She needs money.
Why is she quitting three weeks before taking off?

Anyone who has ever been to a real truck stop knows ya have to pay for showers. Why does this bitch think it's free? If a DUmmie wanted to take a shower in my house, it would cost way more than $2!!!
How's that Kollage edu workin' out for ya DUmbass? Convenience store? Gimme a break! The only time I worked in one was to help out my friends and I didn't even graduate high school. Ya gotta know yer degree was a black hole when ya graduate and the only job ya can find is in a 7/11 look alike. Geez!

Not sure why she is quitting on the 15th but, I'm betting whoever promised to buy her ticket can't produce the money until after the 1st of Oct. I'm also betting it will fall through.

SS or welfare payment? Wouldn't surprise me in the least!
I'm still trying to figure out how she expects to eat, shower, and sleep for a month on the $70 she has in her pocket.
Well, if it's a truck stop, I gotta few ideas.
Some o' those guys would take a baggy of mayonaise to bed and pay ya for the privilege.
My 'ol man was a trucker for over 35 years. Ah, the stories I could tell!

Whore's bath is a buck. Only 50 cents if she uses the water from the Maytag while her one set of Kakis :rofl: are washing.

She might be waiting for her last paycheck after she quits due to not having a forwarding address.

She should of set up direct deposit with her new debit card and worked a few more weeks.
-
Direct deposit usually takes two pay periods before taking effect. This whole "plan" of hers has me scratching my head and sitting on the edge of my seat for the next pointless installment.
Ever since Doug Bulna got fired, this has been the only decent entertainment the DU has produced.

12. How about a women's shelter??
You basically are still recovering from that abusive BF. You fled that situation. You tried to find refuge with family, but that didn't work so you are still fleeing the abusive situation. If you get in with a women's shelter, you can get many different benefits. You can get a letter from them that will help you with housing, and other things. Clothing, too. You will be protected.
I doubt Dave was "abusive." The convenience store primitive appears to have been the bully in this instance, wanting to maintain a "relationship" and sponge off of him when he didn't want her to.
The bonkers pie-and-jam primitive, in her senility, still adheres to the primitive party-line, that it's always the guy's fault.....

13. Checked with them from the bus when I was comming down to Joplin.
1. Love the new Wi-Fi on many of the buses.
But due to it being a case in Arizona, that there is not much that can be done.
And the family thing, well no physical problems so not much again.
However I contacted something while I was off line for a time there. I might an answer for myself!
As with much of my life lately, SATY TUNED! I really hate having such am "exiting life".
The convenience store primitive has an odd sense of geography.
From Tucson, one goes "up over to" Joplin, not "down" to. Joplin is north and east of Tucson, so it's "up" and "over." "Down" infers a southern direction.

I just got kicked out of a ten year relationship.
Me and my SO have been threw hell together. We have always been a team to recon with.
Then we got to Tucson AZ. It was the place for us. But things changed...
The treatments the Doc was doing, he warned us about mood changes. But we had a devil in the mix that we did not know of, a guy we met in Tucson.
This guy glued himself to my SO. He was always around. We just got our place, we needed time together, but this guy was always coming over, always in the way.
My SO said that I should listen to tis guy's advice and I went with what my SO wanted. I should have listened to my gut about this guy.
When my SO started to get grumpy, this guy would try to tell me I needed to leave my SO. "He is a trained Marine! What if it gets bad?"
I ignored him. In knew my man better than that, so this guy worked over my SO. My SO was on meds. He was not really thinking right and this guy used it. The night before I was tossed, I heard them talking, that guy came over so he could talk with my SO with me out of the way. I was supposed to be asleep. I usually was at that time of night. I heard him point out all kinds of bad about me, telling my guy I was a nut and he would be better off without me.
I was fighting with DES about my address due to some paperwork thing on their end, I was trying to fix it. I wanted to talk to my SO about it but that guy was always there. He hit me for housekeeping and cooking. I never was the Homemaker in the relationship. I was the breadwinner of the two, and my SO was a way better cook.
But this guy used it as the points to how I was holding my SO back. All our plans were uprooted by this guy.
This guy came in and wrecked my relationship. I was warned by his ex that he would do that. he saw him do it before. She never knew why she married him. She said he just did not like women and like to see them hurt. She told me exactly what he would do. I thought it was just sour grapes due t them just divorcing.
Why did this guy do it, I don't know. I ended up being tossed on a bus backed to Joplin. I have lost the man I have loved for 10 years and the town I feel in love with. All because of this stranger that came in for the last year. I hurt so bad and nothing to do about it
And the 64 thousand question is answered.

2. Thanks.
Not much to do. I am back in Missouri with family that I have VERY iffy relations with. All I can do is pay them the $310 (going plus if not careful) so I can get out of here. I need to get back to Tucson. I love that town, it fits me in a way.
That's all? I was thinking that it was a lot of money.
-
Found this in the bereavement section.
So again, my comment about that.
She had ten years to drag him to the altar, to make the "relationship" formal and official.
If she'd done that, she would've had him by the balls.
She's apparently one of those lame-brains who says "Oh, but Love doesn't need a piece of paper....."
Which is sort of true, but if the Love can be certified by a piece of paper, well, one better get that piece of paper.
-
For someone with a degree in communications she really can't write worth a damn.
-
Whoa--thirteen bucks for a shower?
What do they think, that truck drivers are made of money?
That's exorbitant.
No kiddin. With all the camping Scoobs and I have done over this summer (and almost over, sniff) we've run into exactly ONE place that charges for showers, and that a paltry quarter for seven minutes.
You'd think Pilot showers are in gilded stalls or something.

You are over thinking it coach. They are both mooches and to marry likely would affect the others bennies. I think the lack of marriage was a calculated move in their part; lots of that is our own federal and state government that encourages that kind of reckless planning. By incentivizing these types of arrangements. We've come a Long way baby. *eye roll to that feminist slogan*.

Where I keep the books, the place is only eight years old; practically brand-new.
There's one shower in one bathroom, all sleek and modern and stainless-steeled, for which three bucks is charged, free if one has bought diesel fuel. Fresh towels and soap are provided. It's cleaned after every use.
The truck stop had to have restrooms anyway--an inevitable expense--and so the addition of this third one with a shower cost only marginally more to construct. The owners had contemplated not bothering with charges at all, but then considering the freeloaders and how they mess up things, decided three bucks was a reasonably-high "nuisance" charge. The shower's not intended to make money, just pay for itself.
Now, of course one has to remember the location--way out in the middle of nowhere, hardly any people around other than those zooming down the highway. And so on average, the shower gets used maybe four times each 24-hour day, maybe a couple of dozen times a week.
-

But free with a receipt for purchase of diesel fuel.
Pilot is trying to do whatever they can to discourage whores and vagrants from making the truck stop their home.

Exactly. It could turn into a full time 24/7 around the clock job to try and keep the showers clean and the non desirables out of there if it was to get out of control.
Public restrooms without showers are bad enough. Our local Wal-Mart had a lady that fully groomed herself in their restroom and left them one heck of a mess. They had to shut down the rest room while it was cleaned. I'm told it was beyond gross.
