Two women met, and struck up a close friendship rather rapidly. They became close enough to be sisters. One of the women had her own home (30 miles from the closest town. It was an hour's drive to get to town), car, and had a small income. The other woman lived in town in a rental home (she paid $250 for a $800 a month apartment), she didn't drive but her husband did. They had a car but it finally died and they had donated it to a charity. She too had a small income. At the urging of her country friend she went back to college...in an effort to obtain a job that wouldn't be so taxing on her legs. When the city friend ran out of money the country friend loaned her money. It often broke the country friend to hand out the money to the city friend, but the country lady placed the city lady's needs before her own. There were places that the city friend could get help with food and necessities, but the city friend didn't like what the food place gave to her...(the country friend went there too and was simply thrilled to have food to fill her empty belly). The country friend would recommend places for the city friend to go to for help, whether it was for the city friend's husband's pain or for food or other help. The country friend was met with "I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE, I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY THEY TREATED ME" The country friend went to many of the places with the city friend and didn't see any problem with the treatment, except that the people providing the help didn't bow down and kiss the city friend's fat a$$! One wrong word from a person and the city lady was offended and let the world know about how offended she was. The country friend ended up with the city friend's dog because of the abuse the dog received. The city friend promised to help with the cost of the dog food...which never happened. The city friend still considers the dog as hers, even though she hasn't seen the dog in three years. While the country friend, who couldn't afford to have a "big" dog to feed, did without to take care of the dog, the city friend found another dog to take the rescued dog's place. The city friend wanted the country friend to take care of the dog while they were out of the area for two weeks. Mind you that the city friend's dog isn't spayed...and has needed it to be done for three years. Because the country friend hasn't stepped forward to pay for the city friend's dogs spaying it hasn't been done. The country friend did a bunch of research to find the cheapest place to get the dog spayed...but the city friend didn't like the vet's offices attitude and wouldn't take the dog there, even though it was $75 cheaper than any other vet's office. One day the city friend called the country friend stating that she didn't have ANY food and could the country friend loan her "some" money for food. Usually the "some" money ended up being $50 to $75 for food. The country friend wouldn't mind normally but the food that the city friend bought was stuff that the country friend wouldn't look at much less consider buying since it was so expensive and wasteful. The country friend lived on a tight budget. So, the country friend had a turkey in the freezer and offered it to the city friend. The friend accepted it and the country friend took the turkey to the friend. A couple of days later the city friend called telling the country friend that the turkey smelled "dead" and she through the turkey out. It was a major slap in the face for the country friend as she gave up food out of her mouth, and she had been very careful with the turkey making sure that it didn't thaw out and was frozen the entire time. Then the country friend realized that she was supposed to cook the turkey for the city friend. Often times the friends would go to the next city to go shopping. During the drive the country friend asked the city friend to get her purse and get the pill box out of the purse for her as she was driving. The city friend did so and made comment about what the country friend carried in her purse. Even after explaining about how she needed to have that stuff with her as it was a long trip home and back to town if she had forgotten something, it didn't matter. When they went on another shopping trip taking the city friend's other friend with them; the city friend announced to the friend that if she needed ANYTHING all she needed to do is to look in the country friends purse. The country friend was so embarrassed by the comment that she wanted to disappear. Through the years a lot of money was loaned to the city friend by the country friend, along with giving the city friend things that the city friend begged for. The city friend would get the things and then within a couple of days give them away. The country friend realized that all that was happening was that she was providing gifts for the city friend to give to her family and friends. After the item was given away the city friend would announce that she had given the item away and if the country friend wanted it she would get it back. Of course by then it was too late. So many things happened through the years of "friendship", including the city friend going through the box of jewelry that the country friend had purchased at an auction. When the country friend told the city friend to stop going through the box the city friend did as the city friend wanted and kept going through the box. When the country friend got to the car after loading other purchases the city friend gave the country friend the box and then handed her a huge handful of jewelry that she wanted...which was the most valuable pieces in the box!! She told her country friend that "This is the stuff I want!" Not leaving the country friend any option. Fortunately the country friend was annoyed at the time and didn't give the city friend the jewelry. The point was that the city friend couldn't be bothered listening to the country friend and stop going through the box when she said to quit! Through the years there has been many occurances like that, and there was horrible comments that came from the lips of the city friend. When the country friend was ill, the city friend was sicker. When the country friend found out that she had a bad heart problem, the city friend informed her that she had had at least three heart attacks and a blockage that needed surgery immediately. Tests proved that the city friend did NOT have heart attacks (which the city friend immediately announced to the doctor that he didn't know what he was doing that she did have the heart attacks and that his equipment wasn't any good and that he should go back to school and get new equipment). No matter what the country friend had happen the city friend sought to out do the problem. Oh, one day the country friend picked up the city friend at her home and drove her out to her home. They planned a day at the country friend's home which included lunch. The country friend prepared a beautiful lunch which included home made chili, corn bread and home made ice cream for dessert. The table was set with the best china, silverware and cloth napkins. In one of the bowls the country friend put an 8 ounce bag of cheese for them to use on their chili. The country friend went back into the kitchen for something and when she came back she was in awe...the city friend had taken the whole bowl of cheese and put it on her chili!!! To this day the country friend can't put cheese out in a bowl without thinking of the city friend's piggishness! Finally, after all the years that have gone by, the country friend said enough was enough of the "friendship". She just couldn't take the abuse and using any longer. Country friend would buy something nice for herself for a change and the phone would ring and the city friend would need money for food or something like that...so the country friend would take the item back so that the city friend would have the money. The country friend would soon learn that the city friend would have pissed away most of the money that the country friend had just loaned her for the food. So much more had happened that added to the decision, including just finding out that the city friend had gotten grant money from college a week ago. The city friend owed the country friend nearly $1000!! The country friend could really use the money, but not one word was said about paying her back. Of course the city friend had loaned some of her friends money and the friends hadn't paid her back, and you heard long and loud about how horrible the people were because they didn't pay her back....but paying back her country friend was totally different. Needless to say when the country friend found out about the city friend getting the grant money the country friend was furious and very sad that a "friend" could treat her that way. The "friendship" has dissolved into an acquaintanceship...if it even remains like that. You just don't treat people that way! You just don't use and abuse friends like that. Of course when you look at friendship as a person who farts $ fifties and craps $ hundreds you understand the treatment. If you are a person who cherishes your friends and treats them like royalty, you can't understand the treatment. Is the country friend wrong in her thinking? Would you have been willing to be treated this way? What would you have done when the city friend told the other lady that "If you need anything just look in country friend's purse, she has everything in it!" Would you tell the city friend "WHY" the friendship has ended? I know that the country friend stayed way too long in the friendship. Part of the reason that the country friend remained was that the city friend had "borrowed" some of the country friend's jewelry to pawn for money for "food". That was another case of pissing the money away. But the thing is that the jewelry remain

Carmelire i agree with you 100%. I would stop being friends with this person along time ago and be as rude as possible in telling them the friendship is over and why. I have even done this before when people treat me this way. had aboyfriend yrs ago that treated me the same way country girl was treated by city girl and i broke up with him and told him why. Loverbear if this is you the country gurl then hugsssssss to you since i cant put the emote pic on here of hugs. also im so sorry what city girl did to you but you need to tell her the friendship is over not even an aquantanship nothing . you tell her she doesn't deserve you as a friend since u have a heart of gold and she took advantage of that. hugssssssssss to you again. Also city girl should pay you pay every red cent and thin dime u gave her no matter what or how long it takes.

For one, the country friend has a heart of gold, I would have ended that friendship a long time ago because all close relationships is a "give and take" As for telling the city friend, I would be rude enough to tell her everything and why I no longer want anything to do with her. But that's me, knowing this country friend, she will allow the friendship to dissolve, but won't hurt the city friend's feelings..Then again I could be wrong, maybe the country friend will let the city friend have it, who knows??? This is for the country friend:

Does Bill know you are using food money to repay him? Because I think if he knew, he wouldn't take your money. As for this city friend, she is lower than dirt and I wouldn't waste my energy on her. You got your jewelry back, granted you had to pay for it, but now there is nothing connecting you two and you need to dispose of her out of your life NOW!!! Want me to call you? Never mind, I am calling anyways, because I might loss power from the storm...

I agree this city friend is lower than dirt. She's not worth the gum that kids put under the desks at school. My dog's poop in the back yard is better than her. i can't think of any thing lower than that city girl. she needs the keeper to keep her nice. You are not dumb loverbear u r just too nice and have a heart of gold. Glad your getting rid of her as friend but u need to tell her why. and carmelanire stay safe during this hurricane and prayers to you and everyone in Sandy's path.

Listen to redredrose, loverbear... and thank you..I am getting conflicting reports, (you know how weathermen are), I see on one site that it isn't coming near me, and another where it is coming at me. On the local news station, a city that is about 45-50 miles east of me has lost some power and in another part of town, about 35-40 miles away, a huge tree fell over. But here, other than a little wind and some cold, I am not seeing much in the way of extreme bad weather. I guess by this time tomorrow I will know for sure.
