John,
The reel is payment for chores around the house. I stripped off all the wall paper in the kitchen, along with all of the wallpaper on the upper half in the living room and bathroom. Then on the bottom half of the living room, the paint started to chip so I have to take that down to a paintable level. Then I get to replace the wall paper and re-do the paint without a mess. That's a lot of work for people I barely like(kidding kidding<img src="/Images/TooHappy.gif"><!--e13-->). I would probably do it for free but my parents believe in payment for services but since they are willing to pay... A reel that is going to wind up around 200 bucks is a good pay-off when you consider those painters will charge you 400 bucks a room. I'm doing 3 rooms wallpapering and painting for 200. Not bad. Plus most of my money is going into it too.
Oh God, don't start with the school/job thing. School's not going to happen. A job, I doubt it now. I need to get my stomach under control. Something has been plaguing it for 6 years(that's a third of my life when you think about it) and doctors don't really want to find out what. I've been to shrinks and GI specialists but ever notice how their advice JUST isn't practical? They wanted me to cut dairy, soy, fried foods, spicey foods, and onions out of my diet. Just cutting out soy would be hard enough. I think it is nerves but who knows. Anyways, my parents told me that they might be selling the house within a year so why bother get a job with any sort of a future? It is impossible to live here on your own. <shrugs>
