She can always cancel the order or return the items, can't she?

Means "none of your Business"

I refuse to just deal with it. Credit card previlages have been suspended indefinitely

WHOA! If it is something as serious as going way overboard with credit card privileges then you are doing the right thing. I'm with you on that Oh, Claudeth!

Yea, she is outta control She needed shoes and can't find any that are worth a damn locally so I let her get new ones on the Internet. Evidently she took the 'yes you can use the card' to mean she could by shoes, and jewelry and clothes and.....and.....and.....grrrrrrrr I thought I had it well explained what she was using the card for but I guess she didn't hear anything after the 'you can use the card' part

this sounds like at least 2k.......

In golf terms, it means play the ball as it lies or play the course as you find it! My husband says he'll be at El Prado next Saturday and he might join you and Claudeth at the 19th hole.

Gosh, I sure wish I could go! I have been having some sort of health issue where my muscles get tired and achy anytime I try to do something physical. I haven't played golf, went to the gym or did my daily walks in over 2 months. I have been to a specialist but he doesn't have a clue so I guess I am going to be my own doctor now (does that make me and my patient fools ) Anyway, I am going to stop some meds I have been taking to see what happens.

By the way, there is a men's club tournament Saturday that starts at 7:30 so I assume he would be teeing off after about 9:20 or so.

Apparently it's the Filipino way We sent money to her parents because their water and electric was about to be shut off so what did they do? they bought a camera

Its not a filipino way. Its an irresponsible move that any people can do, filipino or whatever nationality.

Jasman,

Normally, if a person has been exposed to a certain amount of money and suddenly have more that he/she used to. Most of the time, they dont know how to handle the money.

Guess, this is the thing happening to claudeth and her family. And its up to you to control it. If you want to help them, you have tp control it until they know how to do it.

Just my 2 cents. Input based on my previous training on handling money.

It is not a Filipino way. It depends on your wife's sense of responsibility in handling her finances.

I only use 1/3 of my credit limit and pay my full credit expenses each month.

Its not like they have been exposed to any additional money, we help when we can afford to. It just seems very irresponsible to spend the money on something you don't need when there are critical issuse to deal with. This isn't the first time nor the only Filipino family have I seen this behavior with plus my sister, who was in the Phlippines back in the 50s for 3 years, describes behavior she observed that is very similar to what we are seeing so it certainly isn't an isolated incident.

Yeah, the missus is right, my friends and I will be at the Chino Creek course on Saturday. Our tee time is 11:51.

I hope you get well soon as I can't wait for you to give me five a side. With the weather getting cooler now, I think you need to limber up and have those muscles stretched. I ain't no doctor but have heard through the grapevine that pills for high cholesterol cause muscular pain. So, if you are on them now, you might want to stop and see what happens. Just watch your diet, have plenty of exercise and have sex at least 3 times a week!
