STRUGGLES BEING ME| PART 2 7/4/2018

[Tiny Clanger]

SB figures are useless because the gap is so broad. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell us anything.

It's been discussed loads of times, and I think the general consensus was $1 per 1,000 views. And she's been putting out any old shit since the car needed repairing so they obviously don't have anything set by, then bought electronics she can't use and is frantically peddling to pay for. Previously she claimed $4k a month and that was high; no way is she clearing $10k.

In context, if she puts out a vid a day, that's c£60 per day, so less than minimum wage for an 8-9 hour day. As @FitBitch said, that buys rent in a cheap state house share, low-quality meals out and random cheap plastic shit. She doesn't buy anything quality - not clothes, perfume, books, furniture, journals. The only exception is that pointless laptop and camera bought on pure whim.

She can't possibly be thinking of buying a home, can she? She'd need a huge deposit, the lender would demand health insurance and a life policy, let alone all the other costs like legal fees. I think she means rentals, but even that is hopeful. No solid income, no credit rating, no work history, breakages and a very real risk she might need to be cut out of any house. The current landlord is probably praying to every god that she doesn't become immobile in his house. Not the best tenant...

I'm starting to wonder if AL is deliberately gaining weight. Becky is clearly getting massive and it's a race to the bottom for both of them at this point, there's probably a part of her that realizes how fucked she is if Becky gets some degree of independence or self-respect, so she wants to get bed bound as soon as possible so she'll have an effective albatross to hang over her neck. "You can't blame me for my weight, I wasn't the one who was driving, was I? I paid for all those trips and now you're going to say you can't take care of me?"

The washing machine thing was surprisingly telling, although I doubt she comprehends just how much she gave away with that admission.

I know we've speculated about what-if-Becky-leaves or the lads boot her out, but apart from all the logistics (already a sizeable mountain) would she even be able to live alone? I know she could pay for some kind of assistance but if you are that limited in movement and ability, how on earth would she be able to function alone for any length of time?

She's not at care-home stage yet, and I know those on MSHPL always manage, but they have good support networks of family and friends. AL doesn't have even one dependable friend to just hang out with, let alone help her out - she'll say the boys are friends, or maybe Rafe and Hannah (unless they've been discarded again after helping out) but all of them were appropriated and none will be around if Becky jacks.

What are her options? I'm not in the US and here it's part of our healthcare - if deathfats need assistance they get it, but all of them seem to manage to get round the food restrictions even if they are bedbound. Could she get that level of personal care in-house, or would she have to resort to some type of group home or....what? Is that even an option without insurance?

US farmers, please help out the dumb Brit. She's become progressively worse very fast since she moved into the lean-to and it seems her options are even less limited that they were then. Even if she could find a landlord willing to overlook every risk factor (yeeeah. Good luck with that) could she even manage alone?

People have already filled you in a little bit on US healthcare. I didn't see anyone mention though the biggest thing to worry about with AL living alone is if she fell. Or a heart attack. She'd have to get one of those life alert things old people use. Even now when Becky and the boys leave her home to binge she could fall and be laying there for hours. She was lucky she fell in a shower the last time but she could fall on something and seriously hurt herself or even fall on an animal and kill it.

Yeah. She's terrifying on those polished wooden floors. I doubt Becky is allowed out without her often and they probably leave her in bed.

I just cannot work out why young people would choose to saddle themselves with the responsibility. If she ever DOES need cutting out of the house, nobody will ever risk renting to any if them again. As it is, the landlord could decide it's too high a risk. And THIS is all the stuff that should be in her list of issues, not moaning that she can't get size 98 jeans. Is she so dumb she doesn't realise, or just refuses to acknowledge the frightening reality? "It'll all be fine. Have another bun." Or does she think it's not really her problem, they're "in it together." But they aren't the ones who'll fall through the floor...

It's all bizarre, the others as much as her.

There's no way she could buy a house but I'd be delighted to watch her try. The process can takes a long time and if she can't get a loan I feel like she would use it to justify never moving out of the gay house.

 

[Tiny Clanger]

Not to mention you need a ton of money up front. "Wha cayun't Ah pay in Wax Melts? DISCRIMINATION, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Damn. Now I want this. YOUR fault for putting it in my head!

Maybe Amber is gonna buy an RV or Trailer. She'd just have to make sure it has barn sized doors so she wouldn't need the jaws of life to cut her out of it when she has her first heart attack. Better yet, a school bus! The emergency exit is perfect!

 

[Paging Dr. Now]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahaha. sorry sorry sorry for posting again but this was so damn funny.:autism::autism::autism::autism::autism::autism:

In what fucking world does a 500 pound person think, "Oh boy! One size fits all!" and believe it's going to fit them???? What fucking world?

I've seen a lot of really fat people who don't know/deny how heavy they are. Many of them will keep on cramming themselves into jeans way too small, until the zipper explodes.

A few will only think about a change when they run out of sizes to squeeze themselves into.

.it is the mirror, not the scale, that hits her.

Amber's basic education is...flawed, at best. Little kids are taught about measurements in a way that it clicks for them (sorry, I might lack the vocabulary to express this properly). So, after a certain age a child knows how one pound feels. (makes sense?).
I don't think Amber has that skill. For her what the scale shows is just a number with no correlation with real life. Also, I doubt she's checked that unfairly priced scale in a long time, so yeah, she needs a visual clue.

I would love for him to retire mid-episode as she's telling him that she already knows everything about weight loss and doesn't actually need his help.

I wouldn't blame him from going "that's it. I'm done!" mid-way through a visit. I mean, how many times can one hear the same excuses? (I'm not even talking about it happening with Amber)

Without fail, fat girls never "get it" when someone tells them they have a beautiful face or that they'd be hot if they were skinny. The person is just trying to find something nice to say about your sad existence. You don't actually have a pretty face tubbo.

I find the blowjob story odd, because Amber has never mentioned it before. It wouldn't surprise me if she was giving boys blow and hand jobs like there was no tomorrow, but I don't think a boy would say that.

A male is more likely to say something on the lines of "baby, you're great", in relation to whatever he was getting and she decided it was in relation to her appearance.

I suspect it's more likely that she heard the "you have a pretty face. If only you lost some weight, you'd be so pretty" from foster parents and the folks at the retirement where she worked.

The way she's talking about getting her own place now I want to see her fumble her way through the home buying process

I don't think Amber meant to say she wants to buy a house. (But I bet Becky would love it, since everything would have to be done under her name)

I seldom use the term white trash, but that is exactly what Amber is. When people like her talk about getting a new place, at best they're talking rental. At worse, it's crashing at someone's house - usually of an old relative.

She'd need a huge deposit, the lender would demand health insurance and a life policy,

There are programs in the US that allow the buyer to put down very little upfront. As for health insurance and life policy, I don't think those are mandatory/necessary. One needs to get homeowner's insurance, though.

 

[Tiny Clanger]

@Long time lurker Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Life insurance and/or medical aren't mandatory for any mortgage, but lenders can pretty much make any stipulation they want to secure a loan and have been a lot more stringent about doing so since the sub-prime lending crisis.

Amber's credit status cannot be good as her income is completely unsecured. After that, security is based on risk assessment - a mixture of property values, economic stability of area, viability of potential borrower etc etc. Life policies are part of the package under consideration, especially for young people as its a reasonable risk. So no, not mandatory. But if I had a wheezing behemoth in front of me, I'd COD them for a few hundred quid, let alone several hundred thousand. The risk assessment would just have HAHAHAHA scrawled across it, then she'd be all huffy.

I might be a difference between how different lenders in different countries deal with mortgage. I suspect that getting life insurance on a borrower in the US would cause all kinds of legal problems.

Lenders demand insurance on the house, though. If the borrower skips town after stripping the property of everything they can (light fixtures, door handles, sinks..), the lender can get the insurance company to pay for it.

 

[Tiny Clanger]

I'm doing a lousy job of explaining this...

They don't get life insurance on the borrower. The borrower(s) takes out a policy on themselves which has payout sufficient to cover the amount lent in the event of death. The lender isn't the beneficiary; it becomes part of the estate and the house is a primary charge on that estate after taxes etc. They're often part of endowment mortgages, but can be used with other types.

Make sense? I'm out of the loop, but I think they are, or were, available in the US although, as you say, the rules would be different.

Talking of stripping (and completely OT but funny) I heard of someone who took everything up to and including the loft insulation! Can you imagine hauling that out? It's filthy and prickly and just HORRIBLE stuff. Mentalists!
