[QUOTE="C.J., post: 244928, member: 1987"] With N*, it's not so much "stealing" to profit, it's the attitude: If it's in the house - ANYWHERE - it must be mine to use. I'll be applying makeup in the morning, reach into the make up bag for mascara (or blush, eye shadow, eye liner, moisturizer, tweezers, etc.) only to find it missing. It's just me, N* and the dog in the house. When I wake N* and ask for the missing item, the answer is always the same. "Why do you blame everything on me?" I always respond, "Because the dog doesn't know where I keep it." The other day, as she returned from an overnight visit with some Dumb*** she met on myspace, I saw she was wearing my high school class ring. When I asked her about that, she said I gave her permission to wear some of my jewelry a few months ago. Huh? I don't have much - the class ring, a pearl necklace from my mother as a graduation present, a few pairs of gold earrrings, and a few assorted rings, bracelets - mostly no value. I told her I might have given her permission to borrow a pair of earrings, once, but that did not mean she could rummage through my belongings like they were in a yard sale. I learned long ago to keep my purse locked up in my car, have my keys and cell phone on me at all times, and carry little cash. I didn't replace my 17 year old tv until last year when it finally gave out, and won't replace my home computer (large tower, 10 year old monitor - bulky) while N* still lives with me. Fortunately, the personal possessions I value the most are my books, and N* could care less about those. [/QUOTE]
