I just had a bagel with cream cheese and a doughnut covered in sugar. Both were completely delicious. I'm also probably going out to lunch because I just got paid and my birthday is Sunday (lol) so those seem like good excuses.
But my real flameful- One of our neighbors just had surgery on his shoulder, so people are organizing meals to bring over because they have 3 kids and the wife works. I don't like the wife. At all. I will bring them dinner, but I will bring the bare minimum because I don't like her and only because of societal pressure. She has this really loud annoying laugh and says stupid shit all the time. The husband is nice though.
But you're bringing food- just not as much or as often. It would be flameful to me if the H was your H's BFF or something, but a neighbor you don't really hang out with, not so much.
My mom called me and said she saw xh the other day, and starting talking about how terrible he looks, and I wish she hadn't even told me. I had to go talk to him last week, and he does look terrible. He's looks so...lifeless. His eyes are totally blank, and even with all of the shit he put me through, and is still putting me through, I just feel sorry for him. And I don't want to, I just want to be mad at him.
Someone on MM posted in the UO thread that they're scrambling to pay their taxes. $40,000 in taxes. By April 15.
And then she said, "I may not pay off our CC in full for a month or two in order to throw everything at the tax bill."
She owes more in taxes than my take home. She can take a few more months off paying her credit card in full every month and throw it towards my student loan debt, too, if she wants...
My BIL, who is the biggest trainwreck when it comes to money, worked on contract and didn't have his taxes taken out. Because he would just pay the bill at tax time.
Four years later he still owes 30K because he is a fucking dumbass and saved no money. He has also mooched oh 200K off my ILs over the years even though he by far has the most successful career. They are now in the poor house. They were teachers FFS. And they have a disabled son who lives at home.
He also can't even get his own credit card because his credit is shot. So ILS have a SHARED card with him. He is 36 and has a highly successful career. But yet uses his parents card.
Guess who just racked up another 30K on that card and isn't paying it.... This has happened time and time and time again. I can't even tell you how often this has happened.
My poor ILs. It is such a mess. They just took out a equity loan on their mortgage AGAIN. My FIL is 75 years old and still owes a ton on their modest house they have lived in since the 70s. They need get therapy but they will not. Allegedly they are taking the card away on March 1st. LOL, yeah right.
Meanwhile, I might get a 20K raise if I get this new job and it will be like a game changer for us. We have lived such a conservative lifestyle. Our income has always been modest. We don't expect money from our parents, but man is it hard to see bad behavior get rewarded over and over again. 30K on a credit card in ONE YEAR. Omg the things I could do with that kind of money.
Last night was the first time I can remember ever that I tipped less than 20%, I tipped 15% I felt so ashamed. I did it because I asked twice for a glass of water and the server never gave me one. We sat for a while after our meal to chat with friends and I was so thirsty!! lol.
This isn't flameful, but I'm putting it here. A patient just called me and asked if we had a summer camp? I had to clarify like 3 times. WTF, this is a hospital, not a school. I was like 'What type of activities are you looking for'? Oh, you know like a normal summer camp! LOL, then I had to document on it.
"Yeah, we do arts and crafts with dialysis tubing and rubber gloves! Sign up today!"
My sister is the favorite of my parents by far. Especially since I called them out on their shit and then didn't talk to them for 2 years. Every once in a while I get annoyed that she will get all the inheritance and I feel jealous that they just hand her shit. I mean, she 'pays the price' by their dysfunctional relationship, but man it would be nice to get a huge chunk of cash and a Corvette.

Weirdo.
What, not everyone learns how to cath geriatrics at their summer camp? Weird.
I wouldn't even bring the food if I liked the wife, so you're doing worlds better than me.
The worst part is that someone organized a calendar online when people are bringing meals and what they are bringing and it's being shared. So, if I don't sign up I look like an asshole.
We made some awesome enchiladas for our other neighbor because she is awesome and she told a bunch of people about it.
Can I just throw some bagged lettuce out the car window as I drive by? @lazerus24
I can't figure out how someone could possibly owe 40k in taxes for one year. Unless they made ridiculous sums under the table and didn't pay a single penny of taxes.

I read the thread and it sounds like someone is a 1099 employee and this includes estimates for first quarter taxes. If it also includes the last quarter taxes, it's still a ton of money, but it makes more sense.
Shopping is the most depressing thing in the world. Especially when you are watching your money melt away when you're only buying necessities.
PDQ My H is so busy at work. Yeah, his job pays the bills but it would be nice if we can talk about important stuff for an hour without interruption. He has a smart watch now, so he gets email notifications on his wrist. I feel like some entertainer trying to keep the attention of a kid. If I bore him for longer than 5 seconds, his attention is gone and we will have to find another time to talk. It's fucking exhausting.

A rotisserie chicken and a bagged salad and maybe bread would be fine.
My mom laid out how much my sister pays my parents for her car, mortgage, and utilities last week. It's $300 per month. They bought all of this for her and are having her pay them back interest free.
They can do what they want with their money. My sister is a single teacher, so I get that our situations are not comparable, but WHY TELL ME, MOM.

All I can picture for the bare minimum for bringing someone dinner is a gallon of milk and this: Attachment Deleted That would be delicious in my world.

They are a 1099. If you have no taxes taken out of all the money you earn during the year, you will owe a big chunk.
