LISTEN: Best way to get rid of ants effectively
Here's a look at the e-mail we've received:
"My roommate is 33, single, and works out constantly.
She calls herself a “Fitness Model” and always posts on Facebook about “transforming lives” but she doesn’t train anyone. She tans and enters fitness model competitions (which she doesn’t win) and she sells vitamins and protein powders.
She works part-time at a hair salon, and barely makes enough to split our expenses, Last week she spent R5000 getting pictures taken for her “portfolio”, yet she can’t pay her share of the bills. She said, “I’ll worry about the bills when they shut the power off.”
Am I within my rights to tell her it’s time to grow the hell up, stop with this imaginary career of “Fitness Model” which obviously doesn’t pay anything and to get a real job so that we can keep our house?
Thanks, Jen".
