Oh man, that is my DREAM!! lol. The wall mounted toilet with the tank hidden in the wall is pretty standard in other countries, along with wall hung cabinets and vanities, and it's amazing. How do you fix the toilet of the tank is in the wall? Wall plate that acts like a panel cover (looks like a regular wall but can be taken off). We just remove ours for any fixes or checks. |

Just being able to run a mop around the floor without hitting legs and bases I insisted on getting the IKEA Janinge chairs because they had these short arm rests that also act as chair lifts for cleaning. And they stack (crucial when living in a small space). We actually downgraded our chair choice in terms of budget and aesthetic for this feature and I regret nothing.  |

DH just got a work bonus. We have things we need to get done around the house, but we also have our 25th wedding anniversary coming up in October. Should I put up a GFM for the house work, or the anniversary trip??? Inquiring minds wanna know. 🤪😉🙄🤣 OH ETA: We also have to replace several bushes from snowmageddon. Please HELP!!! No kids to put up for begging purposes. Well first you probably should display pictures of your mangled plant family members and then ask for help paying for a ‘specialist’ needed for their treatment. If they don’t already give your mangled plants single syllable names Then of course you GFM both the trip & the house work why either or? 😜 |

Don't get me going on this one...I sacrificed a lot to help pay for my son's tuition...clearly, I did it wrong... Girl, same. DS gets some academic scholarships but the bulk comes from us. No loans either. Apparently I should have been asking my social media friends. When my dad passed away, I was left some money. When my husband asked what was most important to spend the money on, it was tuition. My kids were 5 and 7 and all I wanted from that money was their college paid for even though many of my friends were thinking I could buy a bigger house, go on vacation, etc. I was raised to be practical though. Some people just have very different priorities. |

Bruno, Betty and Bruce Bush have been burned by the bitter cold and need to be unbedded and replaced with new beauties. Also, action is needed to fund our anticipated 25th anniversary that we have been anxiously awaiting for 24 years now! Although we were aware of its upcoming arrival, we are completely unprepared! We NEED an ocean view condo and 2 door Jeep to make this trip just perfect for all of my scrapbook pages. Waldo the water heater needs replaced, Frankie the log fireplace needs to be turned to gas (‘Cause, ya know...TX gets bitter cold temps like...once every 5-10 years!), Ruby the refrigerator needs her filter fixed, Stevie the TV needs a proper new stand and soundbar, MZ DAZY the Miata needs new breaks, dents removed and a possible new paint job...and mamma needs a maid and new booties! Please forgo all coffee, mani/pedis, meals out and hair fixins and round up all your friends (That don’t know us from Adam). We need all of the assistance we can get so that I can use the BEST DAY EVER 3x4 project life card that I have been saving up for just the right occasion. May God bless you all richly...so you can give it all to me! 😉😁🤣 ***Do y’all think this will work??? |

Someone commented on her trip to Hawaii. This is on Margie’s Facebook page where she also asked for money. Attachments:

Lol most people don’t have a second home, let alone in Hawaii! 🤦🏼♀️ What a joke. Even if you have a place to stay the cost of everything is so much more there and they stay for weeks!
Oh well what’s the point of having followers if you can’t exploit them 🙄

For the last 8 years since we paid our house off, our ‘house payment’ went into college funds. You can save a crap ton when you aren’t keeping up with the Joneses all the time. But to be fair, DS f*ed off at school and has had to work and pay his own tuition for the last year. You don’t go to class and I don’t pay. |

Get the app. Every drink is half price all day! This is the best thing I have read in the entire thread! I used to have a job down the road from Sonic. I got done during happy hour.  I insisted on getting the IKEA Janinge chairs because they had these short arm rests that also act as chair lifts for cleaning. And they stack (crucial when living in a small space). Nice! I have a barely eat-in kitchen and no dining room. I'm currently using our regular sized rectangle table as a scrap table instead because chairs only fit on one side if you want to get to the backyard. I've wanted a round table for some time, but the little projects in our home never end. 
And Peas!! I just got back from a doctor's appointment to see if we can get help having a special car seat covered by our insurance. We are quite certain, it will be a no, but we have stimulus money set aside. Perhaps a go fund me for a poor Autistic boy?!! I kid, I kid. Ick. That would feel very gross. I'd go to family privately if we got that desperate. I don't know the last time I went on a real vacation. Camping with family does not count!  |

It’s hilarious that she stated Hawaii is not a vacation for them, it’s a second home. Margie is so clueless. It’s actually MORE privileged having a HUGE family home and car to use when they stay in Hawaii. |

Here I come off sounding like a b*tch again but anywhoo....I don't idolize any of the more famous scrapbookers. Most of them live in a bubble, even Heidi Swapp who so many love. I saw at CK when they were doing the Hall of Fame contests that many (not all) of the winners were hand picked (told to submit and they would be a shoo-in). Also worked conventions and some of the popular "famous" scrapbookers were not so nice behind the scenes. One of the nicest "famous" people in the scrapbooking world I ever got to know was Michele Gerbrandt, the founder of Memory Makers. She didn't play dirty like CK and got the short end of the stick. *Edited to say I am thankful we have this place to post. I met Pea 1 and her husband and they turned me off of Two Peas. Sometimes ignorance is bliss and it's better not to see the man behind the curtain.  |

All this person wrote was “But you are on vacation in Hawaii?” |

I'm feeling Monday=ey today so I am a bit cranky, but I am so tired of people doing things they don't come back and own when it goes sour. If there's backlash just admit that it probably wasn't the very best idea you ever had to post that, apologize, learn a little life lesson and move on.
Don't delete comments you don't like, don't block people, don't turn comments off and for the love of all that's holy-don't act all butt hurt.
That's it.

The problem is that she doesn't think she's done anything wrong. She's being attacked by heartless harpies who don't understand her! It's two-fold with her and her ilk, she gets to look like a victim AND reap even more positive stuff from her loyal followers. "Fine, make me your villain. " |
