Buy a few baubbles and hide them. When she starts in on you …grab one, look dejected and say "I don't know why you're being so mean to me... I just wanted to give you this' and hand her the baubble and walk away feigning sadness." Then as you round the corner... fist pump. 'Gotcha!'
No...no. Best to just challenge her to a competition: Who can 'out nice' the other.
Hey Democrats... I get it. Hillary's loss is like breaking up with your ex. You still want to talk about it, but nobody else does so you watch while your friends slowly 'pivot' towards your ex and his/her new friendly significant other and move on. Everything is different now to you; and demanding that sweater back that you bought for your ex at the Epcot Center doesn't empower you. You just come across as weird and rather obsessed. So instead of dwelling in the past, perhaps its time to let go of the old mistakes. Believe me... there are more 'fish in the sea' out there and none of them bears the last name of 'Clinton'.
But you gotta admit... Trump is actually looking better with age. It's probably because he has a beautiful wife. Beautiful wives ALWAYS make me look better too.
I see your point, and agree to an extant. What I really wanted to say was " My logic is simply 'if people have money in their pockets and they are getting laid on a regular basis, they could careless what the other fella is up to'. " but chose not to because I already come across as a misogynist in these forums.
One gal I dated had a young teen son (13) and he really wanted a gas scooter as all his friends had one. They cost around $450. She was a single mom and buying a scooter was just not doable. The kid had no one else. My heart went out to him. All his friends had one and came from 2 parent homes. I took him to the scooter store and asked to speak to the owner. When the owner came out I introduced myself and the boy, and said that he really wanted to get a scooter, and if I put down $50 could you hold one for him like a lay-a-way type program? With payments made periodically? The owner said "Sure". And then I told the boy, ok... the rest is up to you. How bad do you want that scooter? That kid mowed yards, collected aluminum cans, washed cars, busted his butt doing whatever he could do in his neighborhood to make payments. He rode the scooter home in 3 months. I was so proud of him. His mother and I didn't work out but I still think of the boy often, having instilled in him a lifelong lesson: If you want it work for it.
Until they started working on their own... I paid my daughters their age weekly. At 5 years old they got $5 At 6 $6 and so on. I also gave each 3 coffee cans (to decorate as they saw fit) and one was labeled for the poor and I required them to put 10% of their monies to give to the poor once a month. The other was for 'short term' savings or 20%. This is money they could spend on something they were saving for (A Barbie dollhouse or whatever) The other was for "long term" savings. (20%) This is money they couldn't touch. The remaining 50% they could have as pocket money to spend however they saw fit. I never had to worry about them like other kids that threw a temper tantrum in a store because mom or dad wouldn't buy them a toy. I would just say... Keep putting money in your short term 'bank' and you can get it soon. And by golly they did.
