[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 533139, member: 1233"] Well, except for the buying shirts for $150, this could have been my great aunt. NO WAY would she wear the new $37 shoes. she would be wearing a 10yo pair lined with newspaper. The new ones would be in the closet and when you came to visit she would take them out and show you how nice they are. of course at one point her underwear had a MINIMUM of 4 safety pins holding them together (and in the crotch they HURT when they come open - and they DO - and she would go "ouch! loudly and then wiggle oddly as she walked to a restroom to go fasten the pin back) and over a DOZEN pairs in her dresser that were brand new in packages and she would show them to you at EVERY visit. I had to stop visiting her because she got so mad that I threw a slice of moldy bread away with-o trying to cut off the mold that was on every side of it. ONE slice. with a whole new loaf waiting to be used. i also threw away all the paper towels that were used and drying on the stove on top of the pilot light opening because they caught on fire. So she would ONLy see me if my mother was there to supervise me - I had 3 kids of my own by then!!! I just stopped going because it was unsafe to have anyone there with all the fires from drying thingso n the stove. And the stench from her drying otu her depends to reuse them. My husband just hasn't a clue what is in his wardrobe because I add/remove things as i wash them. why wash something too old/holey to wear? they sure are not good enough to send to a thrift store!
