912: Mo' Money

Chemda could be making Bill Gates' salary, and it wouldn't matter because she isn't married with babies. That's all her mother would see. She said it this week when she was talking about being on tour, how it was so incredible to be part of something so special to her, and her mother only cared that she wasn't getting married and having babies.

Also, I don't think I would tell my siblings directly how much money I have, but I wouldn't hide it, either. If I had the money to buy and own nice things, like a nice home and car, I would do it. The exact dollar total is irrelevant in my opinion. If it becomes a situation of, "exactly how much do you have?" then it would also turn into a situation of "you have enough money, can you loan me (aka GIVE me) some?" And I don't need that kind of relationship with my family.

So do you have to keep yourself from laughing at your daughter when she cries?

For now. Since she did such a good job, I'm now convinced that my daughter could have been/will be faking.

I would feel weird asking how much my siblings make and vice versa. Usually you can tell with the profession (lawyers average vs. teachers) and can figure it out by what they can afford.

If I was the rich one I'd feel like my siblings would feel I owe them money or they would want money. If I were the poor one I would feel bad about my income and perhaps not blink an eye if I was dining with my sibling and they picked up the check, etc.

I think I would only ask if it was a weird situation, like one of my siblings had a low income job but was wearing designer clothing or driving a BMW. Or if they had a job you knew made tons like a pro baseball player. Just for curiosity sakes.

It's very weird because just a day ago I was re-listening to a past episode and the Greyhound Bus story came up... That guy should die... not be released to eat other people... When will Keith's Justice be put into effect?

[Uncast]

To start off, I gave up Mormonism for lent. I think I'll let this one go for a while though. Funny how I used to love the church so much and now the mere mention of it makes me feel sick and angry.

Re-listening to Keith and Chemda talk about the situation surrounding Chemda and Lauren, I have no doubt Keith is fine with it. It's just something not everyone is going to understand.

Oh and Badderwors, Vince Li isn't getting to go free. He'll be in a psych ward for the rest of his life most likely. You don't cure that level of crazy.

If I can remember, which frankly I don't, I would guess in the range from 50-62 hours.
Just take into account that I don't have a fucking clue.
