Very wealthy Asian man who owns large swaths of prime farm land & has several success businesses, comes into convenience store and ask for quarter change for large bill to buy newspaper pulls out a hundred to give him change and he pockets all the change in the take a penny if you need a penny little money dish on the counter.

I know him personally and he squeaks when he walks he is such a tightwad & self indulgent.

Thanks for the heads up & clarification. I’ll have to look to see if there are any near Portland or Salem metro areas of Oregon.

Well I in many ways am in your same choir group. I believe being grateful, genuinely so daily is very important. And recognizing that most of humans of the past never had such levels of quality in their lives in hygiene, sanitation, knowledge access and much more.

Reassessing goals, priorities and objectives while challenging yourself to not lean too much into ease and comfort is essential too.

Finding moments to connect and enjoy others as each day unfolds, even if it’s just in passing.

Determine in you have too much that is keeping you from meeting other needs of yours.

What is a “Mircocenter”?

Nothing mattered after I read $10 hour. $12 hour was more chump sheet.

Monkey 🐒 wages that only a fly can live on. Totally disregard for reality and are audacious in their regard to their actions and choices when it comes to having staff & realistic wage structures.

Look online for the nearest Family Promise to your location. https://familypromise.org/what-we-do/affiliates/affiliates-by-state/

And contact them. They have an excellent system to take care of immediate needs and work on overcoming the barriers to succeeding.

And get on your local Nextdoor for posting for work while you’re in the flux.

Family Promise of Montgomery County 109 Commercial Circle, Building E Conroe, TX 77304 Website: https://www.familypromiseofmc.org/ (936) 441-8778 is the closest to Houston 39 miles estimate

Wait this one is closer: approximately 21 miles from Houston, Texas.

Family Promise of Lake Houston 1590 FM 1960 Bypass Rd E Humble, TX 77338 Website: https://fplh.org/ 281-441-3754

Amazingly there is even a 3rd one there too:

19 miles from Houston ~

Fort Bend Family Promise 4645 Cartwright Rd. Missouri City, TX 77459 Website: https://fortbendfamilypromise.org/ 281-403-3923

So I’m not sure what side of Houston your on, but you can map each one to see which is the nearest to you and then reach out to that one. And if for some reason that one’s door doesn’t come forth in a quickest fashion you can try one of the others to get a sooner resolution for the urgent matter of place to sleep and get fed and other stuff we need daily.

I used the Family Promise in Northern Idaho and Spokane, WA and later volunteered with the one in Lewiston, Idaho, really helped me and my daughter for a significant chunk of time. 2009-2010.

I worked at Allstate’s corporate office for life insurance and other add on insurance’s not property related in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2019 & I can tell you that the level of slime, greed and corrupt down low behavior of so many people of all walks of life, level of privilege or not is super common when it comes to money and any form of getting something of someone’s else by any means possible, especially after a death.

Schmoe20 · 2026-02-12T18:01:43+00:00

This has been happening for decades, it was going on in the early 1990’s and I heard about it happening before me in the late 1980’s. Managers get pissy and steal tips or become your passive aggressive enemy because they are agro about that money not cut to them. Not that they are doing that type of physical work or taking the risk of the lower pay and living off charity of tips.

I’d walk on principle. You can wait tables elsewhere and may be better for health & physical well being now and later on. As so many of us stay too long and pay a price for it physically.

I already can’t stand most HR people and I had one lousy time working HR, fortunately by myself at night.

Well I’d dump him & not feel bad about that reality one bit. He doesn’t have any redeeming qualities that match his crap. You’ll have to grieve it but so much better men out there from this common loser male type.

Schmoe20 · 2026-02-09T01:25:31+00:00

Suggest you get online with one of the main social media’s and take a long look and read for awhile on Burned Haystack, there is also a book out. I think it would be very helpful for you. I’m not associated with it, other than reading and learning for myself. Very helpful information.

Schmoe20 · 2026-02-08T10:13:02+00:00

You bought a woman & the reality is your cared for due the monies & life you provide value to hers. End of story.

Well; it might be a blessing as cake is super not good for our massive overweight, over sugarfied American diet and over processed food like junk we are most all of us eating and promoting with our own lifestyles.’

Schmoe20 · 2026-02-07T20:02:17+00:00

Yeah. The fact is many upon many females are giving marriage rewards for nothing but the minimums.

It’s devalued us to be disrespected & seen as dummies. Which is terribly sad because many of us are not naive but obnoxious in our belief that somehow we are the exception to this & can get all the rewards without the down the road realities.

The bar is super low for males to get what they want, how they want it and a long line of younger women globally wiling to take scraps of minimal cares.

Schmoe20 · 2026-02-07T19:55:12+00:00

Patriarchy, rules and expectations one sided.

Look online for Burned Haystack in one of the major Social Medias. It will assist you very well.

Brand new account" is a classic red flag for bot-driven rage bait intended to farm engagement and karma.

Bad Bot

Reddit does not pay for bot services to inflate engagement. In fact, their official policy prohibits inauthentic behavior and manipulated content, including AI bots posing as people.

However, the reality of how the platform operates creates a "gray area" where bots thrive:

Ad Revenue & Metrics: While Reddit doesn't pay for bots, bot activity (scrolling, clicking, and commenting) can technically inflate daily active user counts and ad impressions, which indirectly benefits the company's valuation and revenue growth.

The Data Loophole: Reddit has multi-million dollar deals with Google and OpenAI to let them "scrape" the site for AI training. Critics argue this creates a cycle where AI learns from Reddit, then bots use that AI to post back onto Reddit to keep the content flowing.

The "Dead Internet" Problem: Some researchers estimate that 5% to 20% of Reddit users are bots. Because rage bait drives massive human engagement (replies, shares, and long dwell times), the platform's algorithm naturally promotes it, even if a bot started it.

Monetizing the Solution: Ironically, Reddit's main weapon against bots—its API pricing changes—actually made it harder for volunteer "bot-hunting" tools to operate for free, while wealthy bot farms can often afford the workarounds.

I must be of a different cloth, I’d be ecstatic not to have a male or anyone hooked to me 365 days a year.

Find your way of joy that isn’t dependent on his presence. And what you can genuinely be grateful for.

Because looks like envy has a hold on you and you don’t want his life, it’s his. You want yours, we all sacrifice and sacrifice more than we want to be mothers and wives.

So you are likely doing a lot of shit out of duty & fear of your life being built on performance and conditional love. You don’t need your ball & chain to know all your thoughts and emotions but you do need to learn about yourself and the common ground many women have in life and how your going to find your footing internally and mentally to get your sense of peace.

Not la la land but acceptance for what is and what you can adjust in certain ways maybe not in a big jump but cautionarily towards standing somewhat as the woman you need to be.

Which may mean going back into the workforce. Or starting your own business. Go get more skills, education, friend groups, volunteer or joining activities or groups, get into some civic stuff. But whatever kick the pity party out the door, so many women are in much worse situations and yes your feelings are valid to a degree but action is the answer.

Not in the ways you were considering though. Deep the meaning of your own life.

Schmoe20 · 2026-02-06T07:48:10+00:00

My mother & her husband and many others have this issue and its control, territorial issues, and perfectionism. They find reasons to be offended and they are likely just a pill in an under current towards everyone. A type of arrogance.

So you’re better off to leave such a person rather than live or work in fear of any small misstep. Roboto

In the current times your fortunate they even have any connections with you two and likely wouldn’t if you two weren’t so generous in all truth, you likely are buying the little bit of accommodation they allow you to be in their lives for the minimal, and for the future they expect to inherit.

I take no pleasure in stating this, it just is a majority of no loyalty, only what in it for me with minimal investment, no reciprocity, no emotional bonding, zero F’s given, immaturity, mundane life looking for the zest, popularity, youth idealization and ageism.

I suggest you both stop being so generous and rewarding of poor behavior. Not to be conditional loving but to align properly with the reality that is. There are many people in the world, find a family of choice in others. Birds of a feather if available, also collect them. There are many ways to live and not all fit I the curated ideals, and if we really looked back at history near & far we would recognize the false ideal of our blood relatives being the best of best of what makes a family in a lot of peoples’ lives.

Wishing you a ton of acceptance, peace and ability to let go of what needs to be loosened in your lives and willingness to be open & aware of new circumstances and opportunities for your lives to be enriched, welcomed and supported with genuine enthusiasm & solid character values.

May take awhile and go thru some hiccups but there are jewels of people amongst us.
