(1,761 posts)I still work full time, and will not stop working.
I'm staying in my 1700 square ft house, but I'm having new carpet installed.
My daughter WILL now go to college, but will still be required to work at least part time while she does it.
I will not "give" her spending money.
I am going to buy her a new car, because I don't want her driving a 2004 model with 150K miles on it back and forth from Houston to Austin.
I'm having a new engine put in my Ford truck, so I can "tote" cows and hay around.
The coolest thing for me since their passing was about a month ago.
I was in a store buying a new pair of running shoes, and a little kid (roughly 8 years old and obviously poor) was crying because he wanted the Nike shoes and momma told him repeatedly "we can't afford them".
His mom stepped around the aisle and I sent him to the register with a hundred dollar bill and the shoes he wanted.
His mom was pissed because she "lost him" and the store called out the "code adam"! (I laughed all the way home about that!)
