[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 392198, member: 3419"] Well, for all of us in financial straits, I have to chuckle. We had our Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house, and her house has been under construction for 10 yrs now. The ceiling light was dangling, the kitchen floor was stripped to the subfloor, the stairs were unfinished, (outside was cinder blocks, and inside, wood planks) but to look at it from the outside, you see this beautiful mansion on the water. The food was fabulous, and she cooks with-o gluten or butter!!! She took over her husband's biz dealings about 7 yrs ago when he died, and she hasn't a single tough bone in her body. A biz lessee owes her at least $25,000, and she just evicted her first apt tenant, who hasn't pd rent in 6 mo's. No wonder the house isn't finished! We had her and her boys over for Thanksgiving nearly every yr after her husband died. You may recall the bizarre tale of her out-of-state romance and the schizm between her and her boys. Sad and crazy. She got rid of the loser, finally, the boys moved back home, she's got a normal boyfriend, and she's taking care of biz. Real biz. husband and I managed to stay on good terms with-all of them, despite the fact we disapproved of the way she handled her family all those yrs. Our main goal was to keep an eye on the boys. It worked. She'll come through Christmas with-flying colors. So we all have something to be thankful for! [/QUOTE]
