Is my friend taking advantage of me and is she worth keeping around?
A number of things happened this weekend that just annoyed me about my friend and I can’t hardly begin to explain it all, one thing in particular sounds petty but it all adds up! I kept trying to have an open mind and except how she is but when it’s costing me money to hang out with her plus it annoys me I can’t ignore that. She blows thru her money then expects other people to just help her out! I think it’s rude. She said she’s going to tell her family for the 2nd year in a row that her and her husband don’t have the money to "do Christmas!) how rude! Mean while she’s driving a luxury car, buying unnecessary items for the baby she is expecting (because she wants it), and have drinks at starbucks like it’s cheap! I mean if your on a budget this is not how you act and then to cut your families Christmas gifts before buying yourself frivolous things that’s awful! She expects her family to still buy her stuff for her baby, and for all three of them for Christmas even though she apparently can’t afford it! This weekend she borrowed .25 from me while at a yard sale because she didn’t have change then later I mentioned something about it and she was like oh I owe you that…I was like yes then she said oh i’ll have to pay you that then didn’t and we hung out today and she didn’t…i mean i know it seems petty of me but I didn’t loan her money I needed cash for yardsaleing too and she just kept it! She tries this every weekend too! It’s like any little bit of something she can get from me she does! It’s annoying! I have to watch her because it’s so bad! How unkind of her to be that way to a "friend" or anyone for that matter. When she’s at my house she eats everything in site even if it’s the last home baked brownie I made for my husband! She takes granola bars out of my pantry and puts them in her purse for later! & she eats my candy in my candy jar like it’s going out of style. We go to yard sales every weekend together and she never brings change just a bill and expects me to give her my change I went and got to be prepared for yard saleing! It’s so annoying then I go to the next yard sale and she breaks her and doesn’t pay me back! She also does art’s and crafts with me and any bit of supplies she can use of mine she does then doesn’t give me anything in return, we’ll go shopping together for the supplies and she’ll act like she doesn’t need something we are going to use then I pay for it and she uses it! She know’s I have two of something she needs and she’ll hint around that she "needs" it when I’ve told her where she can buy it but she will not buy it because she’s holding out for me to give it to her or something! I try my best to put away things when she comes over so I don’t get put in that situation but that seems like to much work and to much worry for me. I’m expecting my first child as she is and I don’t have the patience to be paying for her things when I need to be doing stuff for my family. Her and her husband are always going broke because they don’t know how to manage money and it’s not effecting my family and we save money and are thrifty so I feel like because I do manage my money why should I help her out when they make double the money we do and blow it. I tried to help her by giving her coupons for grocery’s that I didn’t need and she is using them but I feel like that is just another thing I do for her and I get nothing in return, she has invited me for dinner at her house once and she does drive her car when we go shopping far away because I don’t like highway driving (20 minute trips) but that’s all she has done for me. We’ve been friends for a few months. What do you think? Is she taking advantage of me? Should I keep her around? The thing is I just moved here, and so did she…so neither of us have any other friends here which makes this a hard decision plus we both will have our babies in a couple months.

* 3 weeks ago

Additional Details
So today she suggest that she needs to go by the ATM like 4-5 times and says I do owe that .25 to you too. Then she was needing cash and she was like I really need to go to the ATM, I sat there quietly not offering any money to her, knowing she has cash because she hasn’t been anywhere to spend it since this weekend, she leaves to pretend to go to the ATM I know this because she wasn’t gone long enough to get to her ATM…and without getting change she hands me back the .25 then uses her money to buy something she wanted which you couldn’t buy with a charge card. I know the whole thing was to attempt to get out of paying me and get more money from me but I didn’t let her.

3 weeks ago
I am actually worried about her taking or making use of my babies items when she needs them or even when she doesn’t to save herself the money…this is a BIG reason I’m wondering what to do now while I still have time before the babies get here! I need advice!

Now she i
I think I was just being nice and then after awhile I realized she was taking advantage of me. I don’t have other friends who treat me this way. It’s like it just kept getting worse with her and before I knew it I had a pest on my hands.

What the hell happened?

This is too true to be funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the
Word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about
Whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of it’s releases.

A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
Living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
At the rate our government
Is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain….
let’s take a look at New Orleans …
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
Is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number….
What does it mean?

A.
Well .. If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
You each get 6,528.

B.
Or… If you have one of the 188,251 homes in

My husband and I are purchasing our 2nd home for 5,000. We can put ,000 toward the down payment from the sale of our first house. To get 5% down on the new house would be ,250. This would be fine, because we have over 00 in the bank after paying this month’s bills, and only need to use 50 of it.

However, our bank will not allow us to to use the 00 that we have (from recent paychecks) because it hasn’t been sitting in the bank for 2 months!!! So they are requiring us to get 100% financing.

Is this _as ridiculous as it seems_, or are there other banks which would allow us to use the money we have earned at our jobs – which we can prove with our paystubs!!!

We don’t have the luxury of sitting around and waiting for 2 months to prove ourselves to the bank (because I have been transferred with my job). And the 100% financing is a bad deal as far as interest rates and the extreme pickiness of the underwriters on every possible issue.

Should we try another bank?

We had absolutely no national debt…
We had the largest middle class in the world…
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids .

What happened?
Can you spell ‘politicians!’

And I still have to press ’1′ for English.

I hope this goes around the USA at least 100 times

What the heck happened?????

This was sent to me by a friend – I did not come up with these facts myself. – Diana

LET’S VOTE OUT *EVERY* CONGRESSMAN (REPRESENTATIVE & SENATOR) EXCEPT SUPER EARMARK FIGHTER JEFF FLAKE (ARIZONA).

This is too true to be funny…

The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let’s take a look at New Orleans It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for 0 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get 6,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets !! ,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets ,066,012.

Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! … Are all your calculators broken?? (Of course not.)

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,

Tax his tears.

Tax his bills,

Tax his cash.

Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax him until he’s good and sore.

Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
‘Taxes drove me to my doom!’

We won’t relax,
We’ll still be after the inheritance TAX!!
