now that they're dead and out of the house, her aunt wants her thrown out so they can sell it to recoup the medical expenses
Oh, for pete's sake. I hate people.
I feel bad for your friend, DJ. Family can be so fucked up when it comes to money.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Thanks. I do too, I just have no idea what to do but let her vent and then tell her I love her. What I'd like to do is...something not very nice to her aunt.
It wouldn't have been so bad had there been anyone else willing and able to step up, so that she could either just fly home as needed or have a regular job while back home so that she could save up for what would come after.
She could barely drive the 2 1/2 hours over here to Dallas for a Dr.'s appointment.
That being said, Suela, I wish you luck and wisdom in dealing with your parents.
Ugh, and WTF, Daisy. I think just loving your friend is all you can do, but you can do the hell out of that.
Completely trivially, my hair is like a giant lint brush. I can't make it to lunch time without collecting fluff. Also, some of it curls, and some of it sticks straight out. I really need to stop being avoidant about getting this crap shorn.
do you have a lot of static in your hair? maybe that's just it.
It doesn't do anything to generate static on its own, and I'm not charged. It's stupid.
Details on the coming apocalypse:
Self-proclaimed Prophet Spawns Apocalypse Movement
Save the date: May 21, 2011.
If preacher Harold Camping is right, that's the exact date Jesus will return and the righteous will fly up to heaven, leaving behind only their clothes.
That will be followed by five months of fire, brimstone and plagues, with millions of people dying each day and corpses piling in the streets. Finally, on Oct. 21, the world ends exactly as the Book of Revelation says it will -- with a bottomless pit, a lake of fire and, at last, a new heaven and new earth.
So let's see--I'll need good boots for climbing over piles of corpses, climbing gear for getting out of the bottomless pit, and fireproof clothes.
His followers, in turn, are trusting Camping. Allison Warden, a 29-year-old office manager in Raleigh, N.C., runs a website, WeCanKnow.com, dedicated to spreading news of Camping's predictions. But what if he is wrong?
"It is a fair enough question," she said. "But the fact that it is in Scripture is why you can say it with such a degree of certainty. It's one of those things where you have to trust God."
Okey-dokey then.

Had G over to see the kitties and then went and sat up on their porch to hear her dad's crazy hospital stay stories.
What part of "No one knows the day nor hour" do these people not get? Even if you buy into whatever version of end-times theology they're selling, Scripture is pretty daggone clear about this bit. There's a whole parable, about being prepared, not losing focus. What, that bit you don't have to trust God about? Sheesh.

So many bits.... so many reasons to say "sheesh"....
