It's always the worst kind of people who spend hundreds of dollars on a fugly status-sack to put their shit in. Unfriend.

I will never understand people's obsession with stupid expensive designer shit. It's always seemed like extreme overcompensation for a lack of personality/identity to me.

When did you meet my stupid-ass sister-in law??

If one day I could afford my children a luxury of life that truly makes them happy without breaking my own bank...best believe I would. And I'd tell them to get rid of any friends who begrudge them my gift. You're friend is rude to rub her purchase in your face if you are struggling financially, you are spiteful and small to spit on the happiness she tried to share with you.

Snickerdoodle,

You may wanna run back to the Logic Bank, I think you left your withdrawal on the counter.

A. The author made no mention of her financial struggles.

B. If incurring unnecessary/unaffordable debt due to the purchase of some overpriced fashion accessory equals happiness, then any sane person would choose misery.

C. The parents aren't affording their child a life of luxury, they're simply enabling the girl's fiscal irresponsibility.

D. No mention was made of the parents financial standing, so paying that little fashionista's rent may've taken a serious bite outta their budget.

Don't forget about the children that are probably making those fucking handbags and being paid virtaully nothing so some scumbag can reap a huge profit.

up there, number one bully.

Stop fucking picking on people, and mind your own fucking business.

Jesus. I figured this would be that rare one where we all had consensus.
But hey: derp will out.

"Bully," c'mon, really?!?!? Geez Blows, don't be such a Sensitive Sally. When I come across a comment that can't stand up to the common sense test, I will at times call that person out.

As for "minding my own fucking business," logically speaking, shouldn't you respond to every single comment in the same manner?

Don't worry though, I generally only respond to really stupid comments. Actually, maybe you should be a little worried.

Prick, you are so smart and above everyone. You are a bully.

This is a fake and anonymous world, and all you do is prick on people. If that's your joy, do what makes you happy.

It is not my joy to put people down. I don't take pleasure in pointing out how a comment may appear stupid. Or how I think I am smarter or wiser than them because I can point out how wrong they are. All you do is bully people and pick on their faults.

The only thing I take seriously is standing up for people being picked on. I am not at all worried if you comment on how stupid you think my comment is.

You must be a miserable human is real life. You get the last word. I hope you win. Annoymous genius of the world.

Blows, I think you're taking this anti-bullying campaing a little too seriously.

If you simply re-read my initial comment directed at Snickerdoodle, you'll see that I only directed one slightly snarky comment their way to start my response.

You then proceeded to go apoplectic on me in the name of social justice. Even in my response to your comment, there are really only a couple snarky comments.

Then you start with the name calling. Prick this, prick that. You're a bully, you're a miserable person, etc.

I'm gonna keep making my snarky comments (there's no shortage of them on this blog) and you can keep up your anti-bullying campaign. How about we just call it a push?

I must admit, I do feel a little badly that you got so worked up over this whole thing. It's really not worth it.

@ Rick Stevens...


a. She mentioned fashion advice " on a budget". I assume on a budget means what it means to most of us. We budget our money cuz we don't have much extra or none at all to waste. ie, a financial struggle.

b. Doesn't float my boat either, but different strokes...

c. What's the fucking difference? They paid for it either way.

d. Good point, Though I feel her taste in expensive handbags and the fact that she values luxuries over necessities makes it safe to say ma and pa aren't eking it out in the trailer park.

Also, I'd like to reiterate my initial point, if I can one day make my children's life less financially stressful with subsidies in rent or buy them lavish gifts that clearly make them happy, I will do so and gladly. Whether they ask or i offer. Fuck anyone who would begrudge them such.

Poverty does not infer moral superiority. The ia came across as petty and shallow to me. Friends dont hate on their homies when they get nice things.

^Your comment was just the way I feel, sorry some missed the point.

@ Snickerdoodle

I appreciate the fact you took the time to provide a thoughtful response. I certainly don't deserve it given how I was "bullying" you. :)

I think your assessment of A & B are pretty reasonable. On C, I think it's parental malpractice not to prepare your children for the potential of having to fend for yourself financially. Unless they've got Kennedy $$$, there's no telling what the future may hold.

For D, I just wasn't prepared to make the assumption that the parents are well off. We don't know if this happens often, or if it was a one time thing.

I certainly will agree that poverty doesn't infer moral superiority, but the word poverty could be a stretch in this context. I think it's safe to say that those who aren't afforded wealth as a birthright, are far more likely to work harder for what they want and will certainly appreciate it far more than some who doesn't have to struggle for the nicer things in life.

I really interpreted this post to mean the author was fed up with her friend's fiscal irresponsibility and hypocrisy of complaining about debt that she racked up frivolously without giving thought of the consequences. I've seen enough of that to know how frustrating it can be. I really don't think the friend is "hating" on her.

Well anyway, I think Snicker was trying to say if they had the chance to spoil their children, they would like to with material things now and then. I know it sounds weird,but some of us understand the comment.

And I'Anon sounds like a twit that is jealous so it is what it is.
Not earth shaking comment to pile on another commenter and not a rant to get so fired up over.

My husband is spending $10,000 on a Beruccio bag. Help!!!!

Please wait...
