My eldest sister just called and asked me to borrow money. WTF? Seriously. This woman is nearly 50 years old, her husband makes decent money, her daughter and son in law are living with them (and working as well). Why can't these people (who only have a $400 a month house payment) keep their fucking electricity on without asking me for loans???
I'm considering withdrawing from my family permanently.
Cash (no pun intended) - I think it's time to close the Bank of Lisa. Would the family believe, "DH is the one that works and he says no."?
(You work, too, and goddamned hard, I was just wondering if they'd believe that. I'm not suggesting that you don't work.)
Oh, Cash. I'm sorry.
Hey, does anyone use Boost Mobile? Any thoughts about it?
I'm pissed off enough to tell her no and that I'm the reason. Actually, the impending $2400 dental bills we have to pay is the main reason--that's cutting into our savings and I really can't justify keeping someone else afloat if it means paying our own bills late.
I just hate being put into this position--for the third time in a week!
Wonder if I can apply for the witness protection program.
ION, I just discovered that The Boy was unfamiliar with Homestar Runner.
GASP.
I rectified that immediately.
Good.
Her marriage was arranged, and she is very happy.
Maybe it'll work out, who knows. Life can be sort of peaceful when you stop struggling.
Oh Cashmere...I feel your pain.
Life can be sort of peaceful when you stop struggling.
I've heard that said of drowning, too.
Amy, I have had the same experience! I was home the day Ruby shot Oswald, while I was watching! Then I was the only one up watching the Democratic Primary returns from California the night RFK was shot! And, I was home sick from graduate school and watching TV when the Challenger exploded!
Note to self: Don't do anything on live television if quester is watching.
