[7:26 pm] Jacklyn Romy: yeah, a replacement motherboard wouldnt be a good idea [7:26 pm] CWC: no I haven't found one yet.

<font color="#0033FF">[8:07 pm] CWC: I realize that, but my family was counting on me here. <font color="#0033FF">[8:07 pm] CWC: I have talked with them about this, and I am going to open a savings account next month, and not take them out so much. <font color="#0033FF">[8:07 pm] CWC: they're cool <font color="#CC3299">[8:08 pm] Jacklyn Romy: that doesnt make sense. your dad is the one who has been trying to curb your spending and control your money for months. why would he make you spend what little you have on fancy dinners <font color="#0033FF">[8:08 pm] CWC: He just did. <font color="#CC3299">[8:08 pm] Jacklyn Romy: i still don't like that you dropped $80 on video games, yet you still tell me all the time that you are over your addiction <font color="#0033FF">[8:09 pm] CWC: I can understand the concern, and I have admitted to my addiction. <font color="#CC3299">[8:09 pm] Jacklyn Romy: what does the admission matter when you dont bother to do anything about it?
