[QUOTE="Lil, post: 682187, member: 17309"] Last night was weird. He didn't go to work AGAIN. This time he called and asked me if I'd take him to the ER. He'd decided he should see a doctor after all about the car wreck and his pain afterwards. So frustrating! But I took him...he'll get the bill. We have good insurance so it'll only be $100. Diagnosis: Whiplash, but not severe enough to have an c-collar or anything, and rash from the air-bag. He got ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer. Exactly as I thought they'd do. As an aside, he showed me photos of the car. He was VERY lucky. Car he was in hit by pickup where he was sitting and the pickup was probably totaled! Very lucky. We spent a couple hours together. Yeah, talking about the freeloaders is ticking him off. I'm done. He knows they need to get jobs. He's told them so, but somewhat surprisingly, instead of stoner friend, he gave his GIRLFRIEND the ultimatum! "Have a job by March 31st or we're through!" Not very gallant of him...he's usually much nicer where women are concerned. Of course, if she isn't his girlfriend anymore, she won't stay...and that's fine with him. There appears to be more going on there than work issues; she's not happy, finds something new everyday to be miserable about, they fight a lot, etc., etc. Apparently he then told the friend that, "If she goes instead of getting a job, you have to step up and find work." or words to that effect! Weird...but I think that this has been coming a while. She's "taken a break" from him before and after a couple days they're "together" again...without ever having ceased cohabitation...but he was upset before. This time he made noises like, "She picked the wrong time to make me mad, it's almost short-shorts season." (as a couple of girls walked by us at the store). Yeah...he's ready to move on. Told him I'd done the math, and if he's careful (and actually goes to work!) he has enough to pay the bills. Maybe he has to quit smoking and he won't have money for recreation, but he can pay the rent and electric. He needs to look for a full-time job, or a second part-time, but it's not impossible for him to pay his own way. We shall see. [/QUOTE]
