I'm not laughing at them for going broke. I'm just annoyed by the "poor me" sob stories from people from privileged backgrounds. Imagine complaining that your parents didn't leave you enough money. The vast majority of people in this country do not get inheritances at all, never mind get put through college.

sorry, just the Strouds part was for you...not the rest which was really being a bit sarcastic....

Strouds is a discount store on as I said, fancy stuff. ie $120 pillows for only $89.

Needless to say I don't shop there. I went in once, saw the prices and left. As long as I'm single I'll just get my "bed in a bag" at Target and spend the rest on beer and vegas. I'll pass on the $20 dish towels etc until I get married.

You are heartless. These people have lost thier Jacuzi and thier "man-made" lagoon.

Why cant these poor souls take more of my money in some government program to help them regain thier castle?

I mean the people in MAss have it right when they have destroyed my ability to purchase land even though I am middle-class. I dont desreve it because I am not "enlightened."

MAybe when YOU have lost your man-made lagoon you will start to feel some compassion! Talk about "Mean-sprited"! LOL!
