Pam has wrapped up her latest hospital adventure, but she still needs the attention. She had the clever idea of a house fire, but had to back off. After all, everyone who reads and marvels at her lies on the internet already knows her name and address up there on the north side of Wichita. A house fire would be too easily checked out, and with all the DUmmies hating her guts over her Top DUmmy win, they would tear her apart. She might even get the granite pizza, again. So, the house fire will have to hit a relative by marriage, once removed. No one can easily track down the particulars, so her lie is relatively safe:

My sister's brother in law and family lost EVERY thing to a fire Friday night
they live in a small town and there is not much to offer there. Hubby and I paid for their family to spend one night at the local motel Saturday. We also ordered a pizza for them and had it delivered to them at the motel. It is wonderful what internet can do now days.
Now, there is the task of seeing if anything is salvageable.
Hubby's family lost everything to a fire about 20 years ago. I know how depressing and frustrating it is.
When they find a new place or figure out what they are going to do, we are going to give them a gift card so they can pick out some household items they might need.
The town folks are pretty good, but in times like these, they also think it is time to get rid of all their "garage sale" items.
My mother-in-law said you would not believe the shit people sent. Granny panties that would fit the fat woman at a carnival is one such item.
I think the gift card will be much better for their needs. I just wish we could give more than 100 bucks.

Pam Dawson is the hero of the story again!! One night in a hotel, a charity pizza, and down the road a ways, a gift card for one hundred big clams. Remember, Pam has told us many times the rest of her family are all trailer trash deadbeats, so a night at the Super 8 and a C-note should be more than enough to put them back on their feet.

1. since I was in the hospital, we couldn't go down in person
in that small town, everyone rallies when horrific things like this happens. It is a thing of beauty in the face of sorrow.
We did what we could from the hospital.
I hope they are able to put their lives back together.
Really, we have decent insurance so my materialistic things wouldn't bother me too much, but the photos and personal things would be so heartbreaking to lose.
Pam is on chemo. She also has great insurance. Suck on that, DUmmies.
The poetess CalPig can be counted on to reply to the shunned greenbriar:

2. My dear greenbriar...
That is horrifying...
I hope they can regroup and get going once again. Of course, things can be replaced, but it's the loss of special momentos of a lifetime that hurt so much.
I'm betting their next home will have sprinklers or at least smoke detectors.
Good luck to them!
Good on you for helping...

15. thank you all for your kind words and the pms wanting to help
I will find out where they are staying and let you all know.
Well, Pam, after that single night at Motel 6, these people are still going to be as homeless as bobbolink.
If you are a real compassionate progressive, you know where they should be staying. You have that vacant basement apartment where the imaginary wino lived until a few weeks ago. You also have a vacant room where Holli lived until she escaped the day after her 18th birthday. So surely, they will be living with you from now on. If they're living with you, they won't have to use the laundry mat.

blah, blah, blah..............
I'm guessing DUmmies wouldn't be welcome there, it sounds like most people there are republicans.

What is their insurance company doing for them?

they must be too poor to afford insurance in this lousy bush economy...

Next week a cousin will kick the bucket. The week after that she will have a sudden attack of liver spots. The week after that a cake will explode in the oven, painting the desert trtailer pink. The week after that her Fundy-est cousin ever will show up on her door with both Mormon and Jehovah's Witnesses tracts....
-
Personally, I'd love to see her try and fulfill her claim of eating tacos after a round of chemo treatment.
Pure. Comedy. GOLD.

5-star dining and lodging as far as the relatives were concerned. And probably expected from their cheap-assed sister-in-law's sister....
I hope they are able to put their lives back together.
I'm sure they can. Why don't you improve their accommodations and buy them a mini-van to replace their car that just burned....
Really, we have decent insurance so my materialistic things wouldn't bother me too much...
Didn't take long for her to brag on herself, did it....

Y'all have been paying more attention than I have lately, but I thought the wino was sleeping on her couch, not the basement. Of course, the couch could have been in the basement.

The odds that he ever existed are thin, but several times she referred to him as their "basement dweller", and claimed he'd lived down there for a long time.

Man, she never ceases to amaze me. I can just imagine the family discussion, "what shall we do?"
"Well, I am willing to pay for ONE night ONLY at a low price motel. Nothing more." "What about food?" "Well, maybe a medium cheese pizza. No pepperoni, and no beer, either. We're not made of money, you know."
Same with Offwiththeirheads, giving a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of water to an alleged bum, while the goose was roasting in the oven.
-
Makes me wonder how she can possibly afford to pay for other's lodgings, considering she has to hit up the food bank in between cruises, trips to Vegas, and shopping for new Coach handbags.
-
For under $200 Pammy could have popped for a nice room in a decent non-chain Mom & Pop motel for a week. Also the Red Cross helps out folks burned out of their homes. They'll even provide for decent meals other than pizza.

and they accolades for their generosity

Not very generous, but I suppose she doesn't want to break into the cruise savings fund. I wonder if there is a homeless DUer who could offer advice as to what would help? :-)

Wait, don't tell me there's someone homeless who posts at DU? :o

Sounds much like when I was a very young lad and my youngset sister fretted about the monster under the bed.

Sounds like a song by Metallica
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Never mind that noise you heard
It's just the monsters under your bed
In your closet, in your head.

Hey, I just by chance encountered this:
greenbriar definitely had to be the year's top DUmmy. everything happens to her; you forgot her great wisdom teeth ordeal, when she claimed a bone came out of the roof of her mouth. next time i see my dentist, i'm asking him if that could happen. . . and then whatever didn't happen to her happens to bobbolink
Does anybody recall this?
-

No, but it sounds like a great story. It must be from an earlier year's saga.

Damnit damnit damnit.
I have to back Mrs Dawson on this one. You can get bone splinters and chunks that will float out after an extraction. I've had them both come out on the inner and outer sides of the socket hole. By far the inner was the worst. So yeah she might be telling some truth on that one.
More than likely though it was one of her relatives. :hyper:

Not likely her relatives. She's told us many times they're all total deadbeats. They would just wait for teeth to fall out as nature intends.
