Dumb Blondes
I always knew Cara in tx was a bitch, but I never really put her in the stupid bitch category- until today. I probably wouldn't have even thought much of her responses if all she said was
There will always be people with more. I'm jealous of people with healthy children who will grow up and have grandchildren and a fulfilling life. I'm jealous of people who only have to worry about saving for college and retirement. Whose responsibility for their kids ends when they finish college and get a good job. And they can enjoy their freedom and retirement without worrying about their child for the rest of their lives.
The above makes sense to me. Her going on and on and on and on about everything she has, specifically coming back to the thread to say
Oh, and we own 9 homes but only one boat....but we do have 2 jet skis....does that count? We have this house, our lakehouse (which was/is a huge fixer-upper and on which we are doing the work ourselves and then will sell), the house we built and pay for, for my MIL to live in (and we pay for her vehicle and all her bills, including *gasp* Dish Network) She is 77 yo and we would rather her not live in the broken down trailer and on welfare, like she would have had to. And we own 6 rent houses. Which I take care of and which I just paid a $300 AC repair bill for today.
And then in the next breath she is nearly crying about what she has had to do to get to this point. Like she wants your praise one minute for doing what many others have had to do to secure a comfortable life style and bow to her the next for what she has obtained. Like the pity me story is suppose to cleverly hide her blatant flaunting.

I don't like Cara, but have nothing negative to say about what she said. I totally understand where she's coming from. She saved for that money and has to spend it on family, not a luxurious lifestyle.
Add Yuban Coffee to the dumb bleach blondes list. She said:
"here are some pics. None are of me and DH though. I have to maintain a little bit of privacy!"
She left her photobucket account open before and someone linked her photo here. oops! lol

The secret to happiness in life is to be thankful and content with what you have.
Blogger - we need a post to discuss who Yuban Coffee used to be.
Yuban Coffee was Peas Help Me. Yawn. It's not like she was SockMonkey or Monique or something.
Cara is not flaunting. She is explaining how they got to where they are today. I think she is an honest straight forward person who is comfortable in her skin and with what she has.
The only thing I dislike about Cara is the way she refers to her son as "Special Guy." I think it's awful. I am all for embracing our differences, but to actually label your autistic son as "Special Guy", and refer to him as this almost exclusively (I have never actually seen her use his name but can't say I've read all of her posts, so maybe I've missed it.). Anyway, as the mother of a child on the spectrum, it just makes my skin crawl to see her label and refer to her son this way.

Cara is over there making fun of this and it's great. No matter what you do, you can't bring her down. She's awesome.

I totally agree.
And she spelled Kierkegaard wrong.
Cara is a piece of work. She doesn't even realize how stupid she looks. She is constantly making herself look like the better person and all she is doing is looking like a twit.
I have an autistic son that is worse off than hers. I can tell this because mine could not even be in a family photograph and cannot speak or toliet train at 8 yrs old.
I don't put it in my siggy to make people feel sorry for me.
There is no need to "label" your child. What reason is there for that? Autism doesn't "show" on the outside so if she is trying to "explain" her child's looks that might be one thing but to me it is another desperate attention whore thing for her.
I hope she reads this.

What thread? It is the thread she posted, no pics of her?
Her and Keri think every post is about them. They continue to say they don't flaunt and boast yet they do all the time. Shut up already!!!
I'm always flabergasted at the amount of info Keri and Cara post online:
Pics of themselves.
Pic of their kids.
Their location.
Pics of the outside and inside of their houses.
Details about hubby's job, their spending habits, vacations, their kids schools and activites.
What kind of car they drive.
On and on.
Now, a person can post pretty anon about some of that stuff - no prob. I'm not overly paranoid, but there's common sense, people.
They have SOOOOO much personal info out there in cyberspace.
I think it's incredibly foolish to post so many pics of the outside and inside of your house on the internet...
Meh, maybe as Texas gals, they're armed.

Check out gotcreativity's avatar! scandalous!!!!
Ok thanks! :)
Now what, or who is Kerri and Cara's husbands? Cara especially acts like hers is a big deal. Would I know him?
if i were a thief or a con artist it would be so easy to befriend keri or cara and rob them before they knew what hit them. they are begging for trouble letting the world know they are wealthy. telling us all about their lives and family members names is giving a gift to a potential con artist.
With all the pics and info they've posted, it'd be pretty damn easy to find their houses.
When I read that thread I was kind of surprised Cara in TX was refering to herself as wealthy. She seems well off but wealthy? Not even close.
The thread was about WEALTHY people getting tax breaks, which is true, my BIL (and sister now that they are married) are wealthy, like real wealthy people, not well off, and he pays the same amount of taxes that my husband and I pay. We are by no means wealthy! There are many loopholes once you are in "that" catagory. That was what the OP was talking about, not Cara (or Keri for that matter, at least how I read it.)
I live in the Bay Area, honestly, in the area I live you couldn't buy a house for $700.00.00, maybe a duplex, if there wasn't a bidding war on it. I understand that cost of living is different everywhere, if my husband and I were to live anywhere other than where we do we sould be considered well off. But for Cara to be using herself as an example of wealthy people paying taxes? I don't think so.
I think it's great when people work hard and have nice things to show for it. I just think it's weird that Cara in TX put herself out there like the spokesperson of the wealthy.
And while I'm thinking about it, what was up with Yvonne telling people to back off Keri? Uh hello, once again, I don't think the thread was about her, it was in response to the WIC thread. Annoying!
I don't think it's that these ladies are rich, I think it's that they've been on NSBR so long, they feel closer to each other, and thats why they defend each other. Good for them. It's great that they have friendships like that. Its no skin off my back if they want to talk about their houses, their cars or their special boy.
I appreciate someone working hard and getting somewhere in life but when you get so defensive when you weren't the topic in the OP then you have either something to hide or you are guilty of something.
Bragging is bragging, I am not stupid, I can see how she tries to get around it not LOOKING like it is bragging (Cara) but what was the point of listing her assets YET again?
When I read that thread I was kind of surprised Cara in TX was refering to herself as wealthy. She seems well off but wealthy? Not even close.
I think by 2Peas standards, she would be considered wealthy. Most of the NSBR board is white trash and/or welfare recipients.
I agree with the cringing when Cara refers to her son as "Special Guy."
My daughter doesn't have autism, but she does have a special need. Whenever I speak about her on the board, I explain why this is a big deal for us or why we had to deal with whatever in this particular way. I would never dream of calling her "Special Gal." NEVER in a MILLION YEARS.

LOL! True.
At least when Keri was posting about her mansion, she didn't put the price she was paying like Cara did. nothing like telling total strangers how much you are paying for a house, the ultimate bragging IMO. she could have posted the pics of the houses that they were insterested in and get opinions without having to list the prices of them. tacky tacky tacky
We had nothing when we were married. We scrimped and saved and worked to get where we are. We waited to have kids until he was home every day and moved up into the office. We relocated every 2 years, right before we moved here we had 5 addresses in 11 months. We did it so he could move up in the company.
Is she out of her ever lovin' MIND?
She has well and truly LOST IT at this point.
Who around her age and having been married around the same length of time HASN'T done all those things? Can't think of a single one! We've ALL done the same. Started with nothing, scrimped and saved, yada, yada.
However, you will never see me posting a list of everything we've attained. You will never know how big my house is, nor what we paid for it, nor what all is inside, etc., etc., etc.
She is just so far BEYOND tacky, it is unspeakable at this point. sooooooo UNSEEMLY!
(there's just so much more to say - but who's interested at this point - she's gone off the deep end!)
I'd love to know if any of the corporate wigs know what and how much she is posting all over the internet. She is not doing her husband ANY favors.
And when she went on and on about the child, she sounds much more like she resents him rather than loves him to bits. And she completely discounts the other son! Is he not able to have grandchildren? Will he not be more than willing to help out with his little brother when they become aged?
I'm glad everyone is seeing her for what she really is - finally!
I know all about the special thing. I have an iq of 68 and am a bit special myself.
I thought she was being sarcastic because of the OP. I didn't see it as flaunting. It sounded to me like she was giving that four chick the finger. That chick has posted some crappy shit.
It sounds like they buy crappy fixer-uppers and put a bunch of money into them and then rent them. It's not like she is talking about mansions here.

Oh please. Get a clue. She has always been open and honest about her son. She has explained before that people are always telling her something is wrong with her kid. If they did that to me all the time, I'd have that there too. It's obvious she worked very hard to help her kid.
As far as doing it for attention, she helps every single person that has questions about autism. I know, because she helped me understand my nephew and I read all those type posts. Do you help anyone, or are you too ashamed?
It has nothing to do with how he "looks". You are ignorant to even say that. And you have an autistic kid?

Yes I have an autistic kid, sounds like YOU don't. By looks, I meant in the pig in her siggy line, autism doesn't show in pictures so why does she use "special guy" and lamenate on it so much. Yes it is a HUGE part of my life that my child is autistic but I don't go using it for attention of pity factor so I can get away with talking shitty and one upping everyone on a message board.
That was my point.
pic not pig, sorry typo.
" meant in the pig in her siggy line,.."
There are also many ways to make people aware of Autism. Volunteer, have a link in your siggy, she is not doing that she is posting for HER attention needs. I do feel incredibly sorry for every parent of a special needs child. Especially the ones that won't ever leave home. From the public viewpoint, yes I know she has to "explain" him all the time, I use my boards as havens where I don't have to explain my child all the time and can just be happy in his everyday accomplishments and enjoy posting pictures that don't need a label.
oh and Cara I know that is you. It is your "style" of writing that gave you away.
Tired of waiting on the lame ass blogger to come and update? Want to continue to chat with the same people? Want to come play at a real message board? Then come check this out.

Made with love for all of of the commentators who make this blog the place to be. This message board is as good or as bad as the people who post on it. It's not about me, it's a place for you. Come and post at a place where your input is appreciated.
Truly...this whole 'special guy' stuff has gotten out of hand. I have a son with severe/profound needs...far more involved than most. Since living this life, I've learned
1) my son is a blessing....I'm sure the majority of parents with kids who have special needs eventually feel the same.
2) if you aren't living this life, you really can't understand all that's involved...physically, mentally or emotionally
3) we all respond in different ways and THAT'S FINE. What I say when people question something I do or say about my son is that when they have a child like this, they can make all the decisions. I do what it takes to get through my day, deal with the stares and the hardships and to focus on the joy he adds above all else.
4) if calling him 'special guy' gets her through the days...whatever. Not what I call my kid and I never would, but if it works for her...rock on.
5) i was going to post my name, but you ladies are frankly just plain scary!

Yup. That is completely crazy. You have got to have a raging hard-on for yourself if you have to post that much personal stuff about yourself and your family.
Is the need to brag and flaunt that much more imperative than your family's privacy and safety?
The same aspect for them on twopeas - they are just too fucking nosy to put anyone on ignore, the hard-on's are just too intense with self-worth that they just can't help themselves with all the personal info.
Seriously. Stupid. Bitches.
jealous much???
Hey what a great site keep up the work its excellent.
