I know we have talked about this, but I thought maybe she just wouldn't do it...turns out she has already given her two weeks notice at her job...SHE DOESN"T have a NEW one yet... Guess granny can fund her gas money...



she does have her financial aid all taken care of and her first college semester schedule

She is going to be a nurse

I just don't want my baby to leave yet...I am not ready for it
 

1st and only post. It will grow to a big, bright glow soon enough.

Maybe not...even at the DUmp its can wear thin.

Especially if lurkers here have picked up on her condescending "I have more money then you threads".

Cruise ticket money would have gone a long way in paying for college instead of having to take out loans that last forever.

In an earlier post/thread she made her daughter sound kind of conservative, which would explain the rush to get outta there.

[Duke Nukum]

She's leaving home, bye, bye.

Edit: to get the lyrics right

[Ree]

Damn..the way she talks ya'd think the girl was movin to Siberia, not to Gramma's house....

[Rebel]

What a psycho bitch. My parents helped me pack and made sure I didn't leave anything behind when I left. .....which is the way it should be and my parents and I are as close as best friends.

[JohnnyReb]

greenbriar has got to be asking herself, "She's acting like Sara Palin. Oh, where did I go wrong?"

....and looking on the bright side for a moment. Mr. greenbriar can now build that boat in the basement that he always wanted....... or fill the basement with beer cans and wine bottles, whatever.

Or hang himself from the rafters in peace and quiet! Who could blame him?

Well, you are fortunate. I can relate to greenbrier's daughter. The idea of having a normal situation like yours is foreign to me. Can't even imagine having a comfortable adult relationship with either of my parents. Hopefully it isn't as ****ed up as greenbrier makes it sound because her daughter will forever be a bit lost if it is.

Pity party over.

She continues to post her tribulations in GD and the mods keep moving it to the Lounge.

Are you crapping me? She keeps putting her personal business in general discussion like it's a discussion of a current event? LMFAO!

yeah that!!

I hope greenbriar junior joins the military and does nursing for them.

[lastparker]

Here's my hope for greenbriar jr.:  I hope she kicks a$$ in nursing school, gets assigned to a presigious hospital and meets and marries some grossly wealthy conservative doctor.  I hope they are fruitful and multiply and are fabulously happy and that she fills her time, after the kiddies start school and she finds herself bored, with organizing lots and lots of GOP fundraisers.  The only reason I don't have jr. becoming the grossly wealty conservative doctor herself is because then she wouldn't have time to host GOP fundraisers, and then her mother's head wouldn't explode as completely.

Sweetie, you know I love you (at least in the hypothetical metaphysical sense) but you need to be tougher on these people.

You should have said,

"Are you ******* me with a mastadon? She keeps laying out her ***** on teh GD likes it a sushie buffet? 

[Wineslob]

yeah that!!

I hope greenbriar junior joins the military and does nursing for them.

Great idea! I'd H5 ya but.......well.............

She's got pneumonia, probably from THE CRUISE !!!


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5868885

She's getting ready for her annual garage sale


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5865879&mesg_id=5865879


And she's getting some peeps together for a counter protest

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5868390


Her daughter moving out is not getting much traction in the lounge.  Maybe she should take that trip to VEGAS !!!!

No one asked for cruise pics.  I'm so disappointed. 

[The Village Idiot]

Greenbriar is the one thats lost. Her daughter has rebelled, probably makes her vastly less lost than Greenbriar.

[whiffleball]

Oh noes!  On top of all her other trials, GB is boycotting Olive Garden now.  Whatever shall they do?  http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5875483

Since she had a political slant the mods won't move this post to their Lounge.

[Wineslob]

I figure you have lost about 3,000

Damn, does the bitch live there? Or maybe she looks like she does!

Ummm...I thought it would be obvious that I was speaking as someone whose btdt. Nothing can replace the trust one places in a parent. No matter how you persevere through things, it always leaves a little empty spot in your life. I rebelled too...still hurts not to have parents you can count on and who you know have a significant emotional investment in you in your life.

10. I only made about $30 at my yard sale a couple of weeks ago
 but I didn't mind because I'm always broke before I get my SS check, and it was pretty good for the little bit of stuff I was able to get together. I actually organized the sale for my neighbor, who has been refinishing furniture and selling it at her yard sales for a while now. My location is a lot better than hers, though--I'm on a corner lot on a busy street.

She made about $500, but kept complaining that she still didn't have enough to pay her bills. Maybe she didn't want to make me feel bad because I made so little? It's weird because I was quite happy with the little bit I did make. It was a really encouraging experience, because I knew that if I had more stuff I would have sold more. Most of what I made was on my tomato and rosemary plants, and plants are definitely a renewable resource!

Also, for the past two weeks I've been scavenging at a house that has been foreclosed, but neither the house nor the yard nor the garage apartment on the property have been secured. The people who lived there were pack rats, and even though they did a lot of yard saling themselves before the foreclosure, there is still stuff strewn all over the yard. I've been picking through the dishes and pots and the fabric and sewing stuff--TONS of it! If you sew or do any kind of crafts, I don't need to explain what a stash is. So that's what I've been doing the past couple of weeks--going through somebody's fabric stash in preparation for my next yard sale.

It's a lot of work because what didn't get strewn all over the yard by other scavengers was stored very badly for a long time. A lot of the fabric and lace has dirt and mildew stains on it. So I've been doing a lot of pre-soaking and scrubbing in the hopes of rescuing as much of it as possible. If I can do that, there is enough stuff to practically open a crafts store in my front yard!

15. You might want to consider the legality of trespassing and taking items that aren't yours.
 It's absolutely true that all of that stuff would probably go to waste if nobody takes it.

I'm also damn sure it's absolutely true that you're committing breaking and entering and theft.

21. I'm not "breaking and entering" because two gates are open.
 
The back door of the house is also open, and also the door to the garage apartment. Plus a LOT of the stuff is simply strewn all over the yard.

I did have a small problem a couple of weeks ago, when a very aggressive young woman yelled out to me as I was going in through the side gate. She informed me she was "from the bank" and that if she saw me entering the property she was going to call the police. "Why?" I said. "All of this stuff is only going to be thrown away anyway."

"That's true," she said. "But if you enter the property you are trespassing."

But even after that they STILL didn't secure the property! Both gates are still open, the back door to the house is still open, etc.

It's almost as though they WANT people to come and salvage, because the more we take the less there is for them to throw away. It's like the message is, "Just don't let us catch you doing it."

However, people a lot more brazen and destructive than I am are vandalizing the house. I can't understand why they do that, and why the bank doesn't secure the property for that reason alone. A couple of days ago for example someone took a chisel to the door frame around the front door lock and absolutely destroyed it. There were splinters of wood all of the front porch and the door was standing wide open. I can't imagine why anyone would do that when it's so easy to get in through the side gate and the back door. It just looked like wanton destruction to me.

It's a Frank Lloyd Wright house too, as the previous owner informed me and another neighbor later confirmed. So it would be nice if people had a little respect for its intrisic value, regardless of who owns it. But I guess I'm the only rag-picker who knows that.
