Yes, all swept under the carpet by her parents and never talked of again from what I remember. Seems an odd situation. Who sent the doc to the house without parental involvement? Odd tale as ever

Years of bullshit!
@Walkdengirl slopbot.com for all your maverick cookery needs.
Unfortunately, Slopbot has turned into Stropbot tonight. I was trying to fix something (it's only displaying about half of all the words I've put into it) but instead I've broken it, accidentally saved over the previous file and also uploaded the broken version to the site so if it's not working, that's why. I'm trying to fix it (properly this time) but with 'neurodiverse' Jack being the only incarnation that rapidly approaches terminal insufferability for me, I don't think I have enough cigarillos on hand to deal with this tonight.
There is however some good news: the winner of the Mission Inn Star Award from The Sloppies receives a golden Slopbot!

She's loaded! Too short. But really, she's bleeping loaded and it's testament to her manipulation skills that she's even made us doubt the fact. But anyone who can live the life that she does, the long list of purchases and luxuries, the cosmetic treatments, the sheer comfort of being able to all put her feet up for the whole bleeping summer without a care in the world and in an apparent hard, covid-hit year, man she's loaded. She can't be anything else. One imagines that even the cabal would be blown away should they ever happen to discover how much money she is actually sitting on.£3,000!!! That’s a lot of cash...
I promise I’m not going to be a threads gone by bore but I’m sure it was you @heretoreaditall2019 who said on thread 1 that JM was possibly covered for private healthcare by “Mrs J” (shudders). If that was the case, I’m not sure it would cover an ADHD diagnosis but it could explain the speed of it - or maybe JM had/has enough money to splurge on sideboards, enough denim shirts to clothe her county and hammocks *and* pay for something like that.
Pure speculation M’Lord
That's her great sense of humour. Hard to spot, I know.Just seen the latest instagram post. 'And plenty of black pepper for a change.' For a change?!?!
I'm so sorry, this must be absolutely horrendous for you. Have a very distanced hug off me
The state of our mental health services are shocking at the mo.
It's the uprising of the squiggles
Also, as others have mentioned, when you are really affected by poverty, or even financially necessary very lean years, you typically don’t buy lots and lots of luxury goods (or find them in puddles). And certainly not to resell (lol) if times get tough again.
Now sometimes there is what could be considered “wasteful” spending when coming into money after poverty—handling finances can be a steep learning curve when you have more money than you ever had. However, that does not at all seem to be what’s happening here.
My parents were never extravagant, and very modest spenders. They never made a lot of money but were really wise with it—and that in itself is a privilege in a lot of ways- they weren’t trying to make up for anything. That definitely rubbed off on their kids and helped me a lot as a low income single mom.
Also when low income people spend extra money on what can seem frivolous to others, it’s often because the bigger things (a deposit for a home for instance) is so unattainable (and possibly not modeled by previous generations because poverty and “class” are generational as upward financial mobility in western capitalized society is practically impossible) that you want to treat yourself to small luxuries. That does not seem to be the case at all with Monroe. She feels she deserves wealth.
Sorry for the long rant! I don’t know how to do a spoiler!!
I mean, it's claims like this among her, "I'm so transparent, I'm Just Jack, that lovable scrap," that make her so flipping disingenuous
If that person has only ever seen 2 types of mushrooms, they need to get out more
Terminator Squiggle here again
