2019-05-07 at 3:11 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Malice Metro EditionI hardly have pics of me. I have like zero of her. Definitely none of us together. Shes getting old now, and makes me sad. Ill dig up some photos tho. Idk where the photo albums even are anymore.
Thats one of the reasons i started putting photos up online. I realized If i die, theres not even a photo of me to put on one of those shitty remembrance sites. -

..same logic with pets.
That was kinda my logic this time around. I said id only spend as much money on her as i reasonably would on myself. If i found out I had cancer today and I had to pay a 10k co-pay on shit to treat it, id have to let the fucker ride. Her bill was $360 for the flea meds, tapeworm shots, house flea spray, antibiotcs and xray. I still wasnt fucking happy about it, but it was doable. Cats just lucky i sold drugs for so long. With what i make right now, if i didnt have a nest egg, kitty wouldve been assed out. lol -

Her car is a 2004 Highlander. Shes so careful she wont even take it on the freeway anymore. And driving a taxi is beneath her, ofc. Shes not like....snooty...but she just "wont do" a lot of things. Its hard to explain. The first 25 years i was alive, she just "worked from home". 10 of those years after my grandpa died, "work at home" really just meant wake up and work in the garden for a couple of hours and then read books all day. But still.
Originally posted by Sudo Casper you should bait your mom by leaving delicious Starbucks coffees in the fridge and see if she falls into your trap
She doesnt do Starbucks. She says its too sweet and their coffee tastes burnt. Coffee Bean and Pete's are acceptable. Her go-to value choice is Don Francisco. I bought her some pricey hipster shit a couple years ago and im 99% positive its still in a drawer somewhere bc shes "saving it". And she wonders why I keep closets full of old electronics shit. That hoarder gene is 100% her too., lol. -

She wouldnt help.
Although since i started an ebay store and made a few hundred bucks already, ive got her to go garage saleing with me a couple times. I will give it to her- the hustle i definitely got from her. Right now she spends all day making shit for etsy orders, and she gets mad when i point out the fact that she would probably make more panhandling. Then she says "Its paying for the roof over your head isnt it?" and I say "No...thats your savings account. If i spend 12 hours a day collecting cans and I get $20 bucks for it, does it mean im lazy? No. Is it a wise investment of my energy and resources? No."
And then she stomps off and slams a door and we dont talk for a couple days. Its cool shes staying busy, but objectively, thats all it is. I told her i could put some of her products on ebay and stuff or start a legit website so Google can start referencing her store, but shes convinced Etsy is the premiere site for people who want upscale handmade things. I tell her its the premiere site for people who want to buy shit some wiccan made with dental floss and beads from the Goodwill...and then she stomps off, slams a door and we dont talk for two days. -

No she just grey up in 50's and 60's suburban Texas- where if you stayed out of trouble, followed the laws, paid your taxes and got to work on time and did your best, you could expect a comfortable, relatively stress free life. She then went from Catholocism to Christian Science- the foundational belief of which is that any stress, disease, discomfort or turmoil...is simply the result of a misalignment of your thinking, and that if you zen that shit away, your problems will disappear.
Case in point...she was legit mad when i asked her to drive me to the vet with the cat (uber and lyft drivers from on taking sick animals in their cars) bc she thought i was making a big deal over nothing, and I "insisted" on finding problems where they were none. The cat of course, had laid there for a year...tired, itchy, covered in fleas, scabs all over it. Big lumps growing on her stomach. When i would try to show the lumps to my mom, she would get furious and say she didnt want to see them. But of course, after bringing the cat to the vet, they found out she was severely underweight, severely dehydrated with skin infections, and a likely tapeworm infestation in her gut. 3 weeks later after a round of antibiotics and an injection...shes healthy as a horse. If itd been left to my mom, the cat wouldve died on the kitchen floor while my mom sat in bed reading the bible and praying about it.
For as grateful as i am for everything shes done for me, i wish she had the backbone to confront things other than me. Everything and everyone else- she just puts her head down and hopes the worst passes her by. -

Originally posted by Sudo I picture your mom being well meaning but resigned to her situation somewhat like yourself. Probably a whiner too
She does whine a lot. TBF theres a fair amount to whine about. But peanut butter being on the wrong shelf should not be one of those things. lol.
But the things is she doesnt whine to the right people. She bottles everything up. Dont make waves. Even if your boss is shitcanning the whole company on a weeks notice...dont tell him what you think of him. Stay classy. Dont do out and sledgehammer the neighbors fence into splinters when they try to move the property line and steal your property. You might get in trouble. Stay quiet. Keep your head down. Do what youre supposed to do and youll be fine.
I think ive challenged some of her notions more than shed have liked.
Im not as much resigned as I am practical. Ive reduced my whining by like 80% too, and i feel i should be applauded. -
