Hmm. Well, I guess she actually is the ditz I’ve always suspected she was.
She has always seemed to me to be a self centered dim bulb. She leaves a few blocks from me, in the same stake. A few years ago, she gave a talk at a stake meeting I attended, and I revised my opinion of her upward because she seemed pretty well-grounded.
Seems like I was right the first time.
She has had a messed up family life. Two divorces. It has always seemed to me that both guys were kind of gold-diggers, so maybe it wasn’t her fault. But she has been the breadwinner, while raising a houseful of kids. So,one of her daughters has decided she’s gay, probably to get attention, or because it’s trendy.
Anyway, just because one of your kids screws up doesn’t mean that you abandon all standards to accommodate the kid.
That’s “lives a few blocks from me.” You’d think I’d proofread before I hit the post button, not afterward.
My daughter helped provide security at a Marie Osmond appearence about a year ago, and she was not impressed. Ms Osmond made representations to the audience which weren’t true (claimed her kids were all backstage, when at least one was not). After the performance, she sat in her dressing room, placing gift orders over the telephone, for an extended period, while the security staff waited for her to finish so that they could go home.
OTOH, my daughter speaks highly of Wayne Newton, for whom she provided similar security duties.
