My best friend until recently-- she and I are no longer friends because of that very thing.

I was doing my best to not flaunt anything to her, and I gave her lots of stuff, paid for things, took her places. She got to a point where she was ASKING, and she never turned me down when I offered, then turned on me and said I was bragging. hell of a way to lose a friend when I was nothing but kind and generous to her and never made mention of her financial situation or flaunted my money. Hell I'm far from rich and she knows it.

That's who I thought it was. If he's a typical Turkish person he drives a Mercedes-Benz or BMW. Does he?

If I misplace any tools.. I just bust this out. Installed a ceiling fan with this and a pair of wire strippers.

Good to hear! Last day of the Girlfriend visiting, so trying to get home ASAP to spend time with her. But it's actually not so bad.

It wasn't that expensive... maybe $80 for the four of us.
Really agree with this

Some people are like that and I don't understand why. When they have extra money they offer to treat and we'll let them because we don't want them to feel like they're freeloaders.

Your ex BF deserves to be slapped.

Had a Mustang and traded it in for a 2008 Range Rover. I don't give him as much shit as I used to now that he's driving a decent vehicle.

HAHAHA.

This fool bought me beer because Skip had my wallet at C5F. So I said I'd pay him back and he wouldn't let me so I crawled though this window and put it in his glove box and he was going to get me back but he got sick. I WON!

That's a good little place. We've been there a couple of times.

Sweet!!! Enjoy your last day with her bud.

I help out friends if I need to but I don't spend that much money, except today rent+ticket Most of my friends know who I am and that my parents are quite well off, but they also know I've made a decent amount of money all on my own and that I pay for my stuff. I never throw it in anyone's face UNLESS they're being ignorant and jealous. Throwing it in their face pisses them off even more and I just have fun. Outsiders think I'm just spoiled and I don't care

You got lucky that I had sun poisoning. Thanks again for the sunscreen.
