The Money Grab

[MSkudlarczyk2008]

sHE IS JUST ADORABLE

[marquisdejolie]

She can be. She can also be cruel and evil.

[ArnoldtheDestroyer]

omg she is too cute!! but why is that weirdo holding her nashers in a bag at the end.......wtf?

[marquisdejolie]

@ArnoldtheDestroyer Oh, that's just some weirdo who walked in at the end of the filming.

[fiddlestix2006]

None of my business, but just wondering here? Things seem to be more calm around there and mama seems more "normal". Is she completely off the booze and pills. Or do we just assume Beth is gone for now? Haven't seen Beth in a while, so did she run off?---hahaha

[marquisdejolie]

I have finally harranged Momma off the booze and pills. Beth is off the booze 2 weeks now. It makes a big difference around here!

[chevkoch]

Wow! So much for "possible, but not probable". What great news! There IS progress now it seems. Sounds good.

[marquisdejolie]

We'll see how long the peace lasts.....

[chevkoch]

Crossing fingers.

[marquisdejolie]

Me too!

[fiddlestix2006]

I think this video is soooo cute, I watch it several times a day, as I love to hear ya'll laughing. Now I'm not flirting here, and the false teeth don't do a THING for me. :):) But........I bet u were a handsome dude "back in the day" The curly hair, pretty eyes, and all that jazz. Understand I'm not saying there's anything wrong with u NOW. :):) I'm just saying u still carry the obvious "HUNK traits" of your younger days. U should show us a picture of u in your prime, to verify.. :)

[marquisdejolie]

I WAS a handsome ladykiller who walked through my twenties and thirties like a god....

heee hee hee I WAS! Makes being old and ugly now harder.

[fiddlestix2006]

You may be OLDER now, but I've yet to see anything UGLY about u, inside or out. :):)

[marquisdejolie]

Aw, fiddlesticks :)

[BeYourHuckleberry]

Aww that is so sweet :) Momma has such a soft voice when she is happy :) Five stars!!

[marquisdejolie]

Five thanks!!

[HallieUtube]

Wow my friend...you're a good guy. Lucky Mama to have such a kind-hearted, caring son.

[marquisdejolie]

I do what I can.....which is mostly a LOT of housework!!

:)

[Beachmama57]

You are such a sweet son! Everyone needs a hobby. Bingo can be such a rush.

[marquisdejolie]

Thanks :)

[jrsnyderjr]

and I said from the beginning the place to look for gambling was the Catholic Church or the VFW...

it's doing no harm. she's very sweet.

[marquisdejolie]

She can be. Thanks :)

[chevkoch]

"...embarrassed to ask." I think it's still a good sign that your Mom trusts you in that way, being able to say, hey, yes, I'm actually asking for money. Methinks it shows an established connection on a relationship level beyond mere family structure bindings. Which you can't say is automatically true for all blood relations you find yourself equipped with.

[marquisdejolie]

I don't know why momma is embarrassed to ask for little money when she gets so much of my "big" money every month.

:)

[fiddlestix2006]

Maybe because the BIG MONEY is from u paying the bills, which benefits the WHOLE family. I figure she's embarrassed to ask for a little on the side, just for her alone. :):) Such a swetheart!!!! God Bless mama's and the GOOD sons we have. :)

[marquisdejolie]

God bless us every one.

:)

[chevkoch]

I agree with fiddlestix here. It appeared to me that your Mom just was embarrassed to enter the "allowance" realm, when what you call "big money" probably feels more like a family agreement.

[marquisdejolie]

Sounds right. But we all know mom's church money goes to my sister's beer and cigarettes.

[chevkoch]

That train of thought might lead you to realize who is really paying for maintaining Beth's habits. Oh man, now I've said it.

[marquisdejolie]

Yes, I am aware that I too am stoking the Beth Train. Perhaps that's just the price to pay to keep Beth from beating up momma again.

[chevkoch]

No judging intended of course. I figure you are doing not bad keeping your head over water giving the circumstances.

[marquisdejolie]

After I got used to walking around with people's hands in my pockets, it's been okay. Hard to keep your balance with all those hands in your pockets!

[chevkoch]

Mousetraps is all I'm gonna say.

[marquisdejolie]

hahaha

[elbrookman]

you are a good son...a very touching vid....i feel the love.

[marquisdejolie]

Thank you :)

[camilorrie2000]

Your videos strike me in different ways depending on my mood, I suppose. After I watched this I read fiddlestix2006's comment and it hit the nail on the head for me. Dear momma, dear son.

[marquisdejolie]

Thanks :) I do what I can.

[fiddlestix2006]

mama looked so adorable, and cute, and ya;ll laffing together just made my day. I know poor mama's got addictions of her own, but everybody has their own cross to bear. Even Beth has goodness in ger too, if we just dig deep enuf to find it. Rememeber,the hardest people to love are the ones who need it the most. Once again, I hear LOVE for mama in your laughter. God bless u for being a wonderful son and brother to both Kiss mama often, cuz someday she'll be gone, and u'll wish u had, Hugs

[marquisdejolie]

I will. Thank you very much.

:)

[pitstopbarney]

What is that large cylinder-shaped object sitting on the counter over momma's shoulder?

[marquisdejolie]

I thought you'd never ask!!!

:D

[MadBadVoodo]

Give Momma some money!!

Five Stars!!

[marquisdejolie]

Oh I do. I certainly DO!

[TheBlueFlamingo]

I love how Momma says funny things but doesn't realize they're funny until you laugh.  It's so cute!

[marquisdejolie]

Thanks :)

[calikitty123]

Haha!! Just like my mom...Bless her heart... :)

[marquisdejolie]

: )

[marquisdejolie]

Hahaha! You know me. I drive a hard bargain....

Nah. Those are my new teeth I'm saving up money to get put in.

[GiacomoC]

I like momma.

She seems so...innocent.

[marquisdejolie]

Thanks :)

[Octahoney]

Your momma has such a sweet little girl voice. :)

[marquisdejolie]

Especially when she's asking for money.

:)

[MaefGalaxies]

oh my heck! they really gamble at the church? OR IS IT IN THE REC ROOM?

[marquisdejolie]

It's in the meeting hall just off the chapel.

[xjasongarciax]

Omgoodness!  Your teeth!

[marquisdejolie]

Yes! My Shreveportian teeth have finally arrived courtesy the Longbeach Arts Association.

[ZMoulton]

gambling in the church?

[marquisdejolie]

You know the bluehaired ladies. They pretty much do whatever they want.

[kathyj1953]

oh lord its worse than i THOUGHT

[hallbe]

Poor momma...

[marquisdejolie]

Ahyup....

[MannyBei]

With Beth, gambling would be the least of her problems...lol

[marquisdejolie]

Definitely!
