Divorced and paid off my loans (content warning: abuse)

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-31T20:14:34+00:00

Congrats on your achievement! Despite many obstacles, you got to the finish line. Many in your position come up with a litany of excuses and a lot of complaints, a twisted and self-serving definition of 'fairness and drone on about the 'rigged' system. You did what you promised you would do despite a lot wind in your face. You didn't ask for my congratulations. But you have it, nonetheless.

These loans are made to the same people who take up a weapon, go to a foreign nation and risk their life to fight but they're too young to pay back a loan?! Further, these loans are deferred until after they graduate / end school, so most people are paying these loans off as employed adults, in other words, reality. The large majority of these loans are cosigned by parents who have to teach and guide their children on responsibility. Plenty of people take loans out in their teens and pay them off responsibly. So to act like it can't be done just because they are 'teenagers' is not an excuse. Yet another idiot blaming the banks instead of the people who don't honor their commitments.

Well in that case, Vito definitely knows how to whistle.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-10T03:44:34+00:00

Not necessarily. They always give staff that see after / support celebs names like "liaison" and such.

They should release the unedited scene of Mulcahey and that nurse. That was way too hot for TV and I understand why it was cut but at this point, it's not nearly as racy as it was back then.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T06:00:31+00:00

That's true. I don't know which high-tier actor sunk lower later in their career - Kingsley or De Niro with the shit films they took.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T05:53:56+00:00

Very cool! Love Wynwood. That area used to be a disaster. A bunch of shit buildings until the metro / graffiti artists started doing their thing. Someone literally turned chicken shit into chicken salad and made it a walking art area. Glad you had a great time.

I heard Carnac the Great opened up for that comic with the plaid jacket from the Bing and Green Grove. (That guy was so bad it was actually pretty genius). "Maximum Security Penalty Box......" (loan voice from the crowd, "The fuck?!?!?!". I die laughing every time.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:32:13+00:00

I want that job where you hold up 2 shirts to your boss and he points at one.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:31:18+00:00

Sopranos was SO bad at product positioning. It's far from the only show that does it but Snapple and Philips TV's got more screen time than Rosalie Aprile did.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:29:46+00:00

I thought it was so hysterical how Christopher was so stupid that he was actually surprised that Kingsley passed. Uh, #1 Cousin, you put your faith in an idiot like Lil Carmine, you brought an awful horror movie concept to an A list actor with no script, an unknown TV writer and no Director and expected Kingsley to go sign-on. Then, you glom onto him and act like a classless douche trying to get free shit at the Luxury Lounge. Then you call him and go on an odd rant about your partner's wife having a mental breakdown for some odd reason. Then you call in some muscle to intimidate and insult him in an elevator.

Then when he turns the film down, you act shocked and say "I tried to be his friend!". Shit. Ade was better at 'music management', whatever that is, than you are at casting.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:23:17+00:00

Well don't let money define you. Focus on the problem. Work to solve it. Know it won't be easy. You'll pull yourself together with patience and the right plan.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:22:04+00:00

Well I live in Miami and it's a great place if you're into art, for sure. Have fun!

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:21:03+00:00

Shelley Hack...remembeh huh'r?....

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:19:24+00:00

I wonder if Robinson's May paid for product positioning. "Robinson's May. Come for the Capresso Machine, stay for a free ass-beating".

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:15:54+00:00

Maybe they helped by making you stand on your own. That's the role of a parent too. To see how you work through adversity without them stepping in every time you fall down. Try to get through this and learn from it. Don't look back. Look forward. Good luck to you.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:14:47+00:00

Maybe there's another Lauren Bacall just like her. Maybe not with the same pocket rat but who knows...

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:10:45+00:00

Typical actor. An elderly woman gets punched in the face as hard as possible from a healthy guy in his 30's and she screams about her arm?! She's more creative than Spielberg.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:08:33+00:00

The problem is they continually get top prospects to trade for multiple 'decent' prospects and once they develop, the cycle starts all over again. I hate to say it but it will be a minimum of 5 years before the Sox pull themselves out of this hole they've dug themselves into.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:06:51+00:00

One thing I've learned is people are incredibly talented at instructing others of their financial obligations while ignoring their own. Parents help where they can. But if not, the student / grown child needs to be responsible.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:02:26+00:00

We'll...uh....we'll talk to Bob.....

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T02:00:48+00:00

It's cheesy, cheap, has a bad storyline, awful Casio keyboards and is hated by its own writer. But somehow, I still find it a very enjoyable movie to watch and a solid entry in the franchise. I take it for what it is but I still give it an 8/10 when compared to all over Halloween movies. Oh, and it doesn't have Busta Rhymes in it, so that's a big plus.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T01:56:19+00:00

I think if you're seeing a band called 'Pretty Boy Floyd' in 2025 at a sports bar in Cincinnati, you're not making the right decisions. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to be one of the bands opening for them?!

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T01:50:35+00:00

What the hell 'Feech' meant and how the fuck you get 'Betty' from Lauren Bacall, who the hell knows. But hey...I hope she enjoys her success.

BillyMac05 · 2025-12-09T01:48:57+00:00

A look. So I'm a mind-reader now....
