My little bro is getting married.

Just be happy for him. Some people don't need companionship- or they find it in other ways. Humans are a social species, so make sure you do get out once in a while and interact with other humans, but outside of that, I see nothing wrong with that lifestyle.

My grandfather is very sick in bed and I'm worried he doesn't have much longer to live.

My condolences to you and your family. ๐Ÿ˜ž

A loss in the family is always hard.

Your job will likely understand and grant you some time off, even if it's new. Just remember- he wants his best image in your head. He's likely the type that would also want to leave everybody better than they were before- so, for him- keep a smile on your face and do the best you can in his honor, even after he's passed.

I smoked once for the first time ten days ago and I am being drug tested on Sunday?

I don't speak from experience, but pretty sure that's more than plenty of time for it to clean out of your system entirely.

Can anyone here read Chinese?

@CommanderIkari should be able to?

Google Translate is good for small stuff. Not so much long descriptions or instructions. ๐Ÿ˜…

What I would do to build the Help community.

Iโ€™m personally terrible at all things social media. Donโ€™t even know how Twitter/Instagram work. Any members who are in those circles are more than welcome to spread the Help-y ness. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Also thought about doing some posts on questions sites like SO and Reddit in life help sections to try to draw crowds from those directions.

Welcome, by the way! Glad to have you back. ๐Ÿ˜

Rent 350 per month.

I need to move wherever you guys are. Renting a small 1 bedroom apartment here is $600-700/month for something out of the way and not taken care. Doesn't include utilities, internet, or even parking. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm stuck.

Itโ€™s my limited understanding that filing for bankruptcy will generally leave you with any essential assets, which includes transportation to/from work- unless there is a cheaper reasonable alternative. Not sure if itโ€™s different on your side of the pond.

I grew up in a family of debt- single mother of 4, who got a big fat pile of debt dumped in her lap to no accord of her. She filed bankruptcy, but has still been making payments to the IRS for 15 years. Itโ€™s tough, but itโ€™s doable. She lived with PTSD and still managed to jump between jobs and keep a house over her kids heads. The government gave assistance when it came to food a bit, are there similar assistance programs over there you can apply for?

NOTE TO SELF: Don't ever let Rockster160 be your landlord.

I overestimate expenses, that means money going out the door. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I do the opposite with income. ๐Ÿ˜› So anybody renting from me would probably get the cheaper rates. ๐Ÿ˜‚
