Oh, yeah. THAT was a good idea

I know you're probably getting sick of hearing about psycho sister-in-law but, since this is kind of my place to blow smoke, here I go again ....

Remember her last huge blow-up because I had the audacity to do some work for MIL without her and thus cutting her out of earning a few bucks? The premise was that she and BIL owe MIL so much money that she needed the work. (That much is true, at least.)

She e-mailed me today ... SO happy. They've had problems with the lender on their car loans. He is an idiot so I can't fault her there. They were finally able to refinance their house and add the car loans to it so they could get away from idiot lender. Yahoo! Wise not only to get away from him but also rates on home loans are lower than consumer loans so they'll be saving money. Right?

Nope.

Since they were refinancing anyway, they borrowed extra money so they could build a deck onto their house. Their ranch-style house. Which is flat on the ground. Soooo, let's add a few thousand dollars of debt that we desperately don't need to have as we can't pay all our bills as it is so we can build a deck, oh, a foot off the ground.

Yeah. Great freakin' idea.

Do you ever just want to slap the shit out of someone??
