So I am sleeping over at the (e:pmt)'s mansion while they are out of town. Too bad everyuone is busy and so I am here a lone now and it is scary. I am barracading myself in the upstairs den and just hoping noone can get in. If someone breaks in the house I just hope they can't make it into my "safe room"where I have me, the coputer, the tv and my phone and a ab roller....I am not meant to be on my own...i am too much of a scaredy cat

Mazel TovI went to my first ever like orthodoxish Jewish Wedding on Sunday. it was fun and interesting for many reasons..but oh so incredibly long. Like it started at 4:30 and at 12:30 when we left it was still like going in and like there were still ceremony parts left, like they had just cut the cake. it was crazy> no wonder we haven't seen Yosepha in like a year cuz she has been planning. If planning a normal wedding is so much work, this one must have been insane. There were seriuosly like 85-92 different cermenonies within the cermony and it included liek 12 different rooms/ballrooms of the hotel. It was quite crazy. I will possibly write about it, cuz there is much to write about like her spicy grandma from israel dancing with the henna and the throne that Yosepha sits on at the beginning. Those are stories for another time and place....

Frank The TankI love my car , Frank, which was my uncle who I got it from's name but it was named more for Frank Sinatra because it tried to seduce (e:jill) the first time she got in it by the seat just falling back and landing her in a laying down position right away. It got the tank name because everytime I have been hit/hit something my car is like barely damaged and everything else is a wreck. Like when I once ripped of the sideview mirror and part of a person's car, Frank just had one little spot of black paint on the side mirror, otherwise you would never know it happened. I feel very secure in my tank. The other day a man in the car next to me in a parking lot just repeatedly bascially slammed his car door into mine. Any damage? Nope!
Anywho this post is not about who Frank was but who Frank is becoming. He is about to die I think. He has been heating up a lot, I think he is leaking oil, and now the check engine light is on. I don't relaly want to spend any more money getting him repaired because he has a ot of issues so I am better off at this point getting a newer car. I am so afraid of that though, I have always gotten my cars for like 500 dolars from old ladies we know who don't drive anymore or like someone getting a new car. I never actually had to like sit down and think about what I wanted and go and look for it. It is very terrifying and I have been postponing it as much as possible. I can't wait any longer I guess. .....I don't want Frank to go...

my parents had to actually drag me out to a car dealership and force me to purchase a new car. mind you they didn't buy it for me, just forced me another 15 grand in debt.

I assumed that this had something to do with Will Farell's character Frank in "old school" where he is running naked down the street and his wife drives by him there is a part in that where they chant "frank the tank" but it does kinda sound like your car and him do have something in common, ok maybe someone else will say something a lot more meaning full then i did.

Blls, Bills, BillsIt's funny becasuse sometimes I complain that my parents don't really give me anything or pay for stuff for me. LIke I have to do it all myself. I realize this is kinda ludicrous because like I live at home for free and people like (e:pmt) point out to me that really so they pay for a lot. I was thinking about it, and it really depends on perspective I guess. To people who have always had to be out on their own and fend for themself it seems like my parents give me too much.
But...I am coming from a world where my three best firends have had everything paid for in their life by their parents basically. One's parents has paid for their schooling, cars, car insurance and even pumps their gas for them but she pays for her own cell phone bill. Another had to pay for most of her own schooling I believe but her parents always have paid for her car insurance and cell phone and insurance. And another her parents have paid for everything from schooling to car insurance to cell phone bill. Sooo i have had about $450 more in bills each month for the last few years than any of them and I guess I never really noticed. I always kinda lumped myslef in with us who are parents take care of everything but really my parents don't. If i wasn't already paying that much for the last few years, maybe I oculd get an apartment and feel more secure in my finances. I'm not relaly complaining that my parents don't give me enough, i'm just saying this is where I come from and it annoys me a little lately. Not that it is anyone's fault that their parents pay for stuff like I would totlaly let my parents if they offered , it just annoys me lately.

I read an article on the web yesterday that touched on the topic of girls being coddled by their parents, delaying the "growing up" process. Parents don't want anything bad to ever happen to their precious progeny!
Anyway, the way the author put it was pretty funny - someday the umbilical cord has to be cut. I can understand the pull to help your daughter out, but when it goes too far I would think you're really doing her a disservice.

Josh has some good points there, Mike. Besides, it's never good to think about what others have... why compare yourself to anyone?

ok ok i'm a spoiled brat...when you write it out like that i feel like such a jerk. well, a lucky spoiled jerk. at least i have to pay for rent and cable and internet now. my parents aren't helping me out for that at all. I KNOW, CRY ME A RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!
just think, after all your years of getting through pharmacy school, you will have lots of money. you'll probably make more in your first year of work than i will in my first 5!

Your parents friends aren't doing their kids any favors, Mike. They are raising a generation who ultimately are stuttering their capability of taking care of themselves and are perpetuating a lifestyle that they will struggle to maintain when they are on their own, thus implanting unreasonable expectations. Anybody over 25 that isn't out of the house yet and have their parents coddle them are FAR less able to cope with the stresses and rigors of adult life. Besides not having a curfew, being legally able to drink and having jumped that amazing puberty hurdle, a coddled 25-year old is no different than a coddled 15-year old.
Don't be upset - you're doing fine and believe me, you are better off. When the other kids get cut loose you'll see what I mean - I promise!
