Well, we haven't met recently, its probably been a good 4+ years since we all hung out together. We always had a great group of people that just genuinely liked one another and we were good hobby friends. In all of my years in the hobby I have been lucky to meet some really cool people. Some have been clients, and some just people I chat with and talk to on occasion. But we always enjoyed one another's company and had fun together!

Yeah I know, I have been missing here at the forum. I have been extremely busy with work but have many stories to share in the near future. Just a quick update: I put Jade into business and got her started with employment, Stacy seems to be a busy girl on a personal level and have not been able to see her, Still in contact with Nikki, and JASMINE my girl is back in touch! Heck, even had a duo with Nikki and Jasmine like the "good ole days".

Where things differ among us is in everyday routines and how receivables are divided between to contractually bound parties. Each situation amongst us here is different. What works for some may not work for others because of the arrangements you have previously made. In mine, I honestly don't care to handle the financial portion of the arrangement. I don't feel hampered in anyway to retain indiscreet portions of the resources I earn. This is simply a desire not to bring obvious awareness to my hobby though missteps that are traceable. I've seen far too many gentlemen that have arrogance about the relationship and feel invincible. Most get a dose of reality in court system after something that could be clandestine wasn't covered up with good care and planning.

Thanks again. I know most of you here may be facing the same dilemma I am. This is why I asked the question. I felt this could be a good work group solution activity.

Thanks to all who have supported and reflected with their ideas.

I just took a truck load of scrap metal I had in the garage and make 55 bucks. Could also start picking up pop cans. 10 cents adds up after about 2 truck loads.

You can even get a secret credit card and set up payments directly from your secret bank.

Buying stuff that has rebates attached to it is always a good way as well. Or when you go out of town for a "guys" weekend, take all cash so that you can split expenses like hotel, food, gas, etc, and then pocket the rest. Don't be too obvious however, or you will gain EXTRA scrutiny instead of building cash. Also, ask the SO for cash and then pocket some of it. If they give it to you, they're much less likely to monitor it closely if you're careful.

-I've also purchased items for business and received reimbursement from my employer in cash. But that is far and few between.

-I have used my card as a debit and did the $10 over and got cash that way without setting off alarm bells.

-sold items on CL for cash.

-stored misc. Cash from change on cash purchases with the SO. Such as ice-cream stands, parking tolls ect.

Everything I am doing is not gaining me the cold hard cash in quantities I need to meet the costs. I see great opportunities but the resources are locked.

Any comments on ideas. Other than to rid myself of the SO?

There are very few lines of work that don't have room for some side work. Throw and ad on CL and BP for whatever it is you do. Price it reasonable, and see if you can do some side jobs for extra play cash.

If you dreamed of her before, please contact me ASAP! This is not a joke.

I have not seen that girl before; but I have some friends that have been in and out of the hobby that I will contact about her. What is going on that makes this relevant? Is she spreading something?

I have a friend that is a single parent. He told me that he donates / sells blood and gets enough money to pay for his car insurance and most of his gas each month. He makes the money he needs without breaking any laws. Much easier than a working another job, and he said it's no big deal.

Not my thing, but it's an option that's out there.
