Mary Worth 3115

Wait... IS Arthur real? Is it unreasonable to think that Estelle could be imagining this whole thing? Is she schizophrenic? Perhaps all the email exchanges and phone calls have just been created in her own malfunctioning mind. If that's the case, where has she been sending her money? I better go check my PayPal account. By the way, you can send your money to my PayPal account, too. I can't promise I'll come visit, but I will send a nice thank you note.

"NO! Arther's REAL! Our talks mean EVERYTHING to me!"

"Fine! Then go ahead and send him money! Send him all your &*%#$@(& money for all I care, you stupid %$###@! But if you're late on one single rent payment, you and one-eyed rodent are outta here!"

-- Scottie McW.

Estelle, check Mary’s super-thin phone yourself - her scam story may be a scam.

@Nance, today’s BFH is certainly angst ridden!

Regina Wolfe-Parks said...

LOL Nance! Your BFH title is what I was thinking (and everyone else) is thinking.

If I was Mary, I would say "Okay, it's your money. If you want to squander Jim's inheritance on someone you've never seen, that's your business. Don't come crying to me when you have the three day eviction notice on your door for non-payment of rent because you sent all of your money to a scammer who's living it up in Bermuda."

Wanders, if I send paypal money, can I at least get a picture of you drinking champagne and eating dinner with no utensils? I need a visual as to where my money's going to, unlike Estelle, who just sends money to strangers at a drop of a hat. (Just kidding!)

“No! Arthur’s REAL!” It’s like a horrible, skewed, retelling of “The Velveteen Rabbit”, with a delusional senior citizen standing in for a sweet toddler clinging to his threadbare stuffed bunny. Libby, bite her, will you?

Mary is holding her phone four inches from her eyeballs so Estelle can't see the screen. Mary is actually reading off a WikiHow page called How to Torment the Deluded.

LouiseF said...

fauxprof, I love your comparison of Estelle to the kid in the Velveteen Rabbit! And so timely in this season of rabbits! Regina, thank you for providing a conversation that would be much more likely to take place between neighbors than anything KM has woodenly done. I think Mary has finally met someone who refuses to be helped by her. Her insistence on flaunting her knowledge in Estelle's face shows how the "I know more than you do" method of "helping" does the opposite. Dig in, Estelle! Show that old biddy! It will be worth the 20 large it may cost you in order to salvage your dignity!!

Yes, I can vouch for the PayPal. I received a nice note from Wandurs.
Estelle, ha ha.

It's kind of a shame that Arther doesn't know that Estelle has declared that she doesn't care about his looks. He could go all the way with this and actually meet her and hook up and he might have an extremely stupid sugar mama to leech off of for a while longer.

I wonder what these two talk about anyway?

Regina Wolfe-Parks said...

If only Estelle had read this first:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/6-red-flags-of-a-romance-scam/

But then she's such a knucklehead, she would think the article doesn't apply to her dear, sweet, "beautiful man" Arther.

I went back to see how long the Arther/ur saga has been going on. She started corresponding with Mr. Wonderful on March 6th. Almost two months later (but according to KM, "months later") she's ready to run off into the sunset with him. Arther/ur will be running off into the sunset, but with her money, not with her.

We make lots of jokes, but props to Mary for owning the thinnest smartphone I've seen in years.
