what's wrong with that? I live with someone like that ---- me :1orglaugh

OMG, how true. I still remember my mother "breaking down" and sending me $500 when I literally had no food on the table when the ex-husband took off. When I paid her back she was SO thankful that she could FINALLY go get her tooth fixed that had been bothering her.....THIS WOMAN HAS MILLIONS!! And let me add that the only way she'd send me the $500 was if I sent her the title for my car, lol. :1orglaugh

The church is going to be VERY happy when she kicks the bucket as I'm sure it's all going "to God".

I have holes in my socks, but no way in hell I could fit in anything I had from the 70's. Or even 90's! :(

Martha Stewart showed how to darn socks. I usually throw them away except these are my "coat my feet with skin lotion" socks.

My mom was the same way for the most part. She would tell me she "had to cut back on her spending" and give the kids $20 or nothing for their birthday, but show up for cake etc. wearing a $2,000 dress, $800 shoes and about 750K worth the jewelery. At Christmas, she would open up the many gifts I gave her, but she would not even give me a card....and I would go to the hairdressers (we had the same one) and she would show me gold bracelet or earrings my mother had given her for Christmas

Dee, there are times when I think we had the same mother ;) She DRIPS in diamonds and always spends money on clothes and shoes. And let's not forget, in FL, as soon as it hits 60 degrees, out come the furs :)

She hasn't given me a Christmas gift in 15+ years. She used to give my son a box of fudge that we gave to my Dad - who LOVES her fudge but she would never make it again if she knew it was going to him. All that time she thought *I* was eating it since my son didn't like it, so she at least gives me a box of fudge every Christmas (which goes to Dad ;) ). I always make sure to give her something at least semi-expensive to make her feel bad. Obviously a waste of money but I feel like a better person for about 1/2 a day.

This year she gave me an airbrushed picture of herself - I had asked for one for a "family" wall. She must have spent a fortune and it doesn't look at ALL like her, lol.

hahahaaaaaaaa was thinking the same thing

Soooooo much worse - Southern Baptist :thumbsup

And another thing (you can tell I was burning inside that day) my cousin who's complaining about not having the money to eat and ski drives a new MB and gets her hair done at $300 a pop every 6 weeks (she has a TV show, so has to do the hair thing, but still.....). Her house is paid for and she usually eats at her mother's for free.

How can you hate Jimmy Carter?

Without a doubt the nicest President in the last 30 years.

I know I feel of those in my neck of my woods

Nice, perhaps. A good governor and president - no.

I'm reading Reagan: A Life in Letters. THERE'S a good, smart, politician.

I've seen families like this...

You're right, how come somebody owns a BMW but can't buy clothes to the children? Aah :disgust
