Damn, that's good advice.

Dear Mary: I try to save some money out of every paycheck but life happens and I spend whatever is necessary on whatever emergency arises. My problem is that if there is any money left over, I feel compelled to spend it on myself. All of the arguments my husband and I have are over money. Because I make more than he does, he thinks I should pay all of the bills. I’m resentful, which also makes me want to spend money.

Please do not suggest that I talk to my husband because if we start talking about money we will end up in a huge fight, and I give him the silent treatment for days. I am embarrassed about my behavior concerning money but I do not know how to change, especially when I do not have any support from my husband. I am seriously considering a divorce. —Jo, Tennessee



Dear Jo: If I am not allowed to suggest that you talk to your husband, let me just go ahead and suggest that you divorce him now. That’s going to happen anyway, so why drag it out?

There is no help for someone like you who has her mind made up and her heels dug in, insisting that she will not do the very thing she knows that she must.
Very blunt and to the point

And a good point it is.

Thanks

I'm not sure what sort of advice she expected to receive.  It sounds like she had it worked out already.  Validation, perhaps? A pat on the back and a, "It is OK, you're only human?" 

I find it interesting that people can justify the most heinous behaviors based on the approval of others. 

On second though, "interesting" isn't the right word.  I think "horrifying" is more appropriate.

What a pathetic, spineless little WORM that woman is.

'we have no money because I feel compelled to spend it on myself'


Well NO SHIT, my dear rejected brain donor candidate, what the fuck do you expect? it isn't validation she needs, its somebody to grab her by the ankles, turn her upside down, and shake hard until the crap drips out of her ears and clears her cranial space.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

Go to bed.  They're going to be awake in a few short hours, demanding things like breakfast and assistance googling "South America" so that they can memorize all of the names and locations of the countries on this mysterious not-North-America continent.  (I shit you not...that was this morning, er, yesterday morning now.)

But this is the only quiet time I ever get!!! 

It is also the only sleep time you will get.  GO!

Fine.  Hmph.

I did opt for the quiet time last night. Now I am feeling sorry for myself.  :violin:

Holidays start here in less than five hours. No South American or Hungarian topography for at least 7 weeks.  :hyke:


Thinking that matchsticks really suck, when used for keeping eyes open. I can only rely on work not being boring. And, with the colleague in today, I should be able to stay awake well. :GA: :santa: :laugh:

A new something I read.

A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

Matchsticks are no good.  You have to use clothes pins, the springy kind.  You kind of clip your lids to your eyebrows.

I wish it could be summer all the time.

It was pretty fast. I don't know if they can catch it. :zoinks:
