Unfortunately, this only tells me that they live in northern NJ...Just about everyone uses that router in Newark.
Too bad their IP isn't static; I would find them, drive to their house, and leave this in their mailbox.
go live your dream

Find a friend, find a cheap 2 bedroom apt in Atlantic city area (about900. month) and work in the casinos. Be a valet, cocktail waitress, and go to dealers school for 6 weeks in the summer.
You can make 800.+week take home. 23 and still at home.. you should be ashamed ofyourself. Let your father retire and live his golden years without you bringing him down. He has done enough. Have you heard of a student loan. You will get it if you are living on your own. But maybe your notbright enough to fill out the application. I think you might be smart enough to do these things for yourself. You will appreciate it more when you do something for yourself....because it is all yours!
And my response:
Don't be a moron.
For your information, I have three jobs. I am not the sloth you imagine me to be.
You say I'm a drain on my father. Well, I'm far from stopping him from retiring...maybe it's the kids that are still in high school, the kid still in college? I dunno. He taught me the value of saving money, and leads by example.
Maybe I'm just a moron, I'm sure you'd think so no matter what, but you haven't even got a clue what my dream is. I still have a lot to learn from my father: how to fix plumbing, how to work on my car, service lawn mowers, put in a ceiling fan, install cabinetry, fix the washer and dryer, work more effectively with power tools...how to be more than financially able, how to be self-reliant.
Living my dream is not the same as you living yours. My dream has nothing to do with a cold case of beer, classic car or ownership of any ridiculous milestone purchases that we only think we need because of our materialistic society.
Maybe you are one of those self-made millionaires that started with nothing.If you are, I applaud you. But you must realize that any success you've had was only partly based on your perseverance, and luck also had more than a small hand in that success.
Do you even know what my dream is? It's to have a jewelry business. I have started it, and sold pieces. My dream is not to be out from under my parents' roof--it's to have the means to support myself without wondering if I'm going to be able to afford the rent and the electricity just so I can say "I moved out!". Obviously, you didn't read anything but a few sentences, which you misinterpreted, because if you'd actually read anything here, my "dream" should've been a little more obvious.
I like how you don't even have the balls to leave your name. How can I possibly take you seriously? Why don't you just stay busy living your own dream instead of giving people snippy, anonymous advice that doesn't apply to their situation. I've never kept this journal locked because I knew that I never said anything evil or derogatory. You twist my words in an attempt to get back at me for the crimes agains humanity you think I've committed: you think I'm a lazy bastard princess who wont move a finger for fear of breaking a nail. In reality, I'm a girl who does work 7 days a week at 2 jobs to afford her own things. I live with my parents to save money on rent, but I pay them rent. I buy my own food, I pay my own bills. I don't ask them for anything except to be allowed to stay, and keep paying rent. I try to get to know them, because all these years later, and I don't think we really know each other. I'm so sorry you feel the need to lash out at someone whom you don't even know who is in a situation you don't have all the details on.
Have a nice life. Stop being so damn bitter and spiteful. You might find you're not the world expert on either.
