That my sister is more concerned about Mom's money than Mom. Maybe that statement alone would shut her up. Thanks.

She's always said, because my grandmother raised her and 2 others, that she considered my grandmother her "real mom".

Out of all of her children, there are 5 of us, 3 of them really don't know how to handle money at all. They have debts galore, and this sister in particular, her house looks like a warehouse. She's got everything under the sun, but a good percentage of it isn't paid for yet. Their income is about the same as ours.

I've always put money in the bank. I was saving for another house, but the money's always gone on things like a broken water pipe, leaking roof, broken sewer pipe, things like that. I'm glad I had the money and didn't have to borrow, but it taught me a lesson, and now I don't feel comfortable not having "emergency money". I have very little debt, and she's jealous of that too.

I just wish people would realize the sacrifice people who save make. I've always saved money no matter how little my income was. If Mom truly has this large sum of money, then she's sacrificed an awful lot through her life.

What bothers me is SM
that the previous owner was so anti-offshoring, etc etc yet she was in partnership with a Pakistani all the while. A little fact she was not honest about. So why should I be loyal to someone who was dishonest and follow her over to her site? Besides, I like this format much better too.

That one bothers me, too. Raven always says it
on her Nickelodeon TV show, so I call my kids Raven when they say it. You're right. It could be worse. At least they're not cussing like sailors.

I didn't see it, but it bothers me too.
Where are some of our fabulous letter-writing posters on here? Let's put 'em to work. Write a letter and tell 'em what's what!!

I bet it bothers a lot of children, but when
asked they just say 'No.'

Oh my. I think it's a...well...sweet term. I'm curious why it bothers you?
