And Yet Another New Try for $$$ From Twit -

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Yep, A few days back she called, left message that it was urgent so DH called her back. Apparently she is all concerned about her brother and his dealings with hurricane Irma in Florida and she decided that she is going to "organize" the family to all chip in (through her, of course) so they can send him some money because he was flooded out by Irma.

Now, friends, this is an actual, flat out, Twit LIE and DH knows it. First, DH's son doesn't have anything to do with Twit any more....like the rest of us. Secondly, DH and I have been in touched with him before/after the storm as we were concerned about it. So, we know by his first hand account that he was lucky enough not to be flooded out. Lost power for awhile, but that he said he could live with and it was back on in a day. Thirdly, we have talked to him frequently all through the years.

So, you ask, as I did of DH later, where the h*ll does Twit come up with this stuff.

Seems Twit heard this, or so she claims, through the wacky auntie. Wacky auntie is pretty much the only family member that has anything to do with Twit. Twit is going to contact family members have them send her $$ and then sent it to her brother in Florida. DH, to my dismay, didn't get into this obvious lie with her, but he told her that her brother weathered the storm just fine. Twit actually protested that she heard otherwise, yada yada yada. She claims she talked to her brother and he was all flooded out, furniture, etc. ruined, etc. Rather than make a big deal with her DH told her that if his son needed something he would send it to him and didn't need to go through her. That did not make her happy so she hung up.

I asked DH, just to be sure, if his son had any problems or needed any help and DH said no, he was doing just fine. He also said that he KNOWS that Twit did not talk to her brother because they are not on speaking terms and if she had, his son would have said something.

Just another ploy for $$.

But what I can't believe is the outright lies this Cretin comes up with! And that she expects everyone to believe them.

Maybe she was collecting to send her flooded out brother new pots and pans Wink

I wouldn't be surprised if the fundraiser Twit is doing has more to do with latest trouble her son got in than anything to do with her perfectly fine brother. But who would send her money if she called asking for court/fine money for her son. Probably nobody.

Because I'm nosy, did your DH ask Twit how that body suit was working and if all the toxins were leaving her body?

On a more serious note glad to hear your SS made it through Irma ok.

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Twit is only out for Twit and maybe her "babies".

No, DH didn't ask her about the body suit, he feels that is BS as well. Me? I think she is into some weight loss thingy and is passing it off as medical because she refuses to believe that there is a connection to weight and what she eats. Personally, I won't be surprised if she comes back with some medical excuse for those stomach bands, staples or whatever they do. She is overweight, but not like the 400+ lber.

Gosh!!! How does sleep at night. She is the lowest of the lowest using the plight of innocent people to benefit herself. She makes my skin crawl. UGH!!!

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Enuf - She honestly beleives that we are all stupid. She could not tell the truth if her life depended on it. The one thing about her lying is that she remembers most of what she says when she lies! This tells me she actually believes what she says....like in denial or fantasy or whatever.

That is one thing that I just could not get ahold of before in dealing with her. If you broke through the lies and confronted her on the actual reality she would look you straight in the face and say she doesn't know what you are talking about. That was really crazy making for awhile until I caught on.

And, if you do should catch her, she will add to the lie so you are suppose to believe more BS.

In my 70+ years I have never, ever encountered any one like her in so many ways. Her kind does show themselves if you watch. Like when she was dancing down my driveway bragging about how she was not normal and never had been. WOW! Or told me, after getting real nasty with me that SHE required unconditional love! In other words, she has the right to treat me and any one else like garbage and we should LOVE her for it regardless of what she says and does. Sorry, I don't put up with abuse from any one least of all Twit.

lies and guilt tripping are only on tactic. my skids use emotional black mail and extortion outright.

buy me this or i will stop loving you.

hows that for loving children you claim you are their bffs.

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Agree with you on that one SugarSpice.

Twit only cares about people when she wants something or is trying to get you to give her something. There always has to be something in it for her. She never, ever does anything because she cares about the person. It always has to be so that she can cry to others about how "great" she is for doing something, along with the poor me, look what I put up with carp.

Nothing is was more insulting than the Christmaes when she dug through thrift stores etc. to give us trashy, used gifts! I'm sorry but it was just hard to be thankful and gracious for a ratty, cheap common ashtray that was wrapped oh so beautifully. And her giving DH the old, plastic greasy used grill set, also beautifully wrapped, and then telling him that WHEN he LEARNED how to use it she would sell him a good one from her pot and pan co!! And the stained, dirty, yellow napkins she gave me for one Christmas because she knows I like nice table linen. Ewwww, those went right into the trash bin.

After I read the first paragraph, I knew what you were going to say later on.....that the checks were supposed to go to her first. LOL!

Your stories are so funny and sad at the same time. I get a kick out of your updates but it's sad you have her for an SD. Well, I guess it's sad I have the one I do, too.

But hey - I live in SW FL close to where the eye hit and was hit by Irma. We lost power for 5 days and need a new roof. So send her my address!

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Yes, Sacrificial Lamb, one does not have to be a mind reader to know where Twit is headed when money is concerned.

"DH told her that if his son needed something he would send it to him and didn't need to go through her." Perfect answer. In other words, "Earth to Twit, we know you are lying." So of course, Twit hung up because you nailed her. But you know Twit - she doesn't give up that fast when there is an opportunity to exploit or take advantage of people. You'll be getting another call for money. Bet ya.

Acratopotes's picture

I hope DH tells his son what Twit is up to and then the son can inform the family... I'm fine I do not need any financial help thank you }:)

Now that will piss her off like hell lol.....

sandye21's picture

This is really a good idea. Your DH has had contact with his son and his son has responded that he is OK. If Twit calls again about sending money to her 'fund', DH should tell her he talked to SS and SS said he was fine and never asked for money - or a 'fund me' account. Twit should know that more than one person knows she's lying.

OMGosh....Twit never stops. If I were your DH, I would contact her brother and then let her know he is doing fine without collecting $$$$$.

What a jewel! How do you stand it?

notasm3's picture

You might want to check go fund me to see if she has set up something. They will pull the link if you notify them of fraud.

SugarSpice's picture

if some one needs help or money due to a natural disaster or any thing else, send the money or items directly.

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Exactly.

I think Twit is just on a money grab, you know, hit the family for $$ because she is oh so concerned about the brother. What a crock, and the rest of the family knows it as well.

Evidently Twit said she got this story about the son flooding from Wacky Auntie, the only member of the family that has anything to do with her. And Twit talks about her, her problems, and how she just hates Wacky's husband (because he is doing better than Twit's husband). You know what they say about the ole green eye devil, jealousy.

Oh well, that is why we are here and she is back there. Though I really miss the change of seasons etc.

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Don't want to start a thread about this but just wanted you folks to know what I found out.

One of our neighbors here is a retired physician, specialist. I asked him about the Twit's claim about the very rare gene she has that has filled her with toxins so she has to use this suit to get them off. Now, I asked it in a gland way, not saying it was my SD or anything.

His response was that toxins is not generally a term used by the medical community. Something that is bad, like an infection is called septic etc. As for the suit, well it is just a sweat suit to sweat off the water in one's body, nothing permanent because that would require actual fat cell loss not just water but it gives one instant gratification.

As far as the "exotic rare gene" inherited....he never heard of any such thing. One may have a tendency to retain water from an underactive thyroid etc., but just retaining toxins...no way.

He asked me how many times my doctor has told me that I need to purge the toxins from my system when I see him for a problem. I said never.

Toxins is a term used by those lose weight fat informercials and diets.

So there you have it from a physician. There is no such thing that he has ever heard of or read about.

Just more Twit BS because she can't keep from driving past the golden arches or eating a quart of ice cream at one time.

SugarSpice's picture

i agree with this.

i am sick of people blaming genes for their fat back sides.

just push yourself from the table, stop eating second helpings and control your portion sizes.

no fad diets needed.

health reasons for weight gain are very rare. its usually life style and not eating correctly.

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

Agree. But this makes Twit a victim and not responsible for her weight. Poor her, she is overweight because she inherited this rare genetic thing that makes her gain weight. Also, because this gene is so rare (as not to really exist) it makes her SPECIAL in her own mind.

Once again, no responsibility for anything.

enuf's picture

Not to mention the big mac's and french fries. That is why she works so hard at scamming people for money. But honestly, she likes being the victim and wanting people to feel sorry for her. I am not surprised she has not asked to have her face put on a milk carton, then asking for a reward if found!

shes driving me crazy in my retirement's picture

enuf: Love it. Let's not give her any ideas.

I don't feel sorry for her, I pity her as she is pathetic. And I pray for her "babies", that they will get away form her and have lives of their own.

AS I have said, I have never seen any of them, except the one with the now ex-fiancée, have any girlfriends. In fact, the fiancée was the one "babies" first girlfriend and he was in his 20's.

On the brighter side, DH's other daughter wants to come for Christmas, and my DD is thinking about it too.
