My grandfather had a couple of sayings regarding situations like Cindy's-- "You can't expect to dress up a dog"; "If you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig" and if he was really angry or half in the bag-- "You can't shine $hit". He has been dead 45 years--the adages are still good.
I thought the MSM said her mother had a stroke. She was having her hair and teeth done?? Ths woman seriously ain't right!!
