I blew my money on booze and women?

Seriously? WTF! Grassley is bad news. Stupid idiot! I blew MY money paying taxes to have a roof over my head and food to eat. I blew MY money paying for my health insurance premium. And I haven't been to a movie in years! Jesus Christ!

Unless you have a $5 million estate.

No?

Then clearly you spent it all on booze and women. Sure, also food and roofs taxes and insurance and such, yeah, but that has no impact on wealth. Chuck Gassy says so. It’s the booze and women that‘s the problem.

I dont even have one measly million so apparently I’ve spent well in excess of $4 million on booze and women.

Now that I think about it, my spending on booze and my spending on women is pretty much the same thing....

I am a woman. A grandmother and not gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. I spend my money to live. To keep a roof over my head, food in my stomach and clothes on my back. A warm, winter bed helps.

Even on the verge of passing out on my drunkest day I wasn't as stupid as Grassley, although I might have repeated that several times. There is no 12 Step Program for either stupid or asshole.

...not so much the booze but I've spent a lot of money on women in my life.

3 daughters.
3 college degrees.
0 debt.

(couple sons in the same situation but Grassley didn't accuse me of spending money on guys).

He's such an asshat.

Yes, Chuck Grassley, I loved having 6 orthopedic surgeries in two years. Couldn't walk, was constantly in pain, and took my savings-----but it was a blast! My husband had to wait on me, drive me to all of the surgeries and dr. appts, take care of the house and yard by himself, so it was a great amount of fun for him, too!

Fortunately, I can distract myself with movies, those mind-warping teleplays that praise the Babylonian excesses of Hollywood as they unspool before my pagan-liberal eyes.

Just this Sunday, I blew some money on a movie, women and booze.

I am a woman, invited my sister over to watch Wonder Woman, and made us some excellent cocktails. Hell, I even threw in dinner.

Tue Dec 5, 2017, 10:32 AM

I am willing to bet plenty of rich folks are blowing money on those things. In fact, I have toured a couple of mansions and most have a bar and a theater. I bet they had women in the heyday. You never heard Grassley saying how Heffner wasted his money on women.

One reason I never held it against the homeless when they bought alcohol is when you are that poor, it is nice to have some small indulgence. I would never think to take that from them and feel sorry for those who do indulge but do not have the money for it on some nights.

I use to have money and indulged in quite a few movies. I have not been to the movies, in over two years, unless there has been a free premiere. But if I had enough money to see an occasional movie, what the fuck business is it of his? They hate to see the people they look down upon have anything more than the basics.

Remember the whole healthcare thing where they said we needed to give up our iPhones for insurance? They have no understanding of these things and, yet, they talk out their asses.
