Okay I haven't read thru all the posts, but I have to clear something up involving the $90 outfit. She got $106 for her birthday, from her mom, dad and Grandpa. She told me she wanted to use the money to get Lily spayed but her mother wouldn't let her 'waste' her birthday money on her animals. Her Mom got mad that she (Bri) wanted to get her bettas a new tank. So I'm sure Bri wanted to help Lily and Skye to get spayed, but her mother wouldn't allow it.

I know many people have PMed Bri and haven't gotten a reply, and I have yet to see Bri online either. I won't say anything more until I get her consent. I don't think she'll appreciate it if I went around telling part of her life.

That's all well and good if that's the truth, but in that case, since her mother won't "allow" her to use her birthday money on the animals, and her mother will not pay for the animals, then for the sake of the animals they need to be rehomed to someone who will put their needs above human wants and get them proper care, rather than continuing down this path. If this is all true then the pets need to come first, not Briana's wants and desire to have them. They are NOT coming first, they are not getting adequate care. The money IS there, it's just not being used appropriately for whatever reason. You can make all the excuses you like for her, it does not change the fact that if they cannot or will not provide proper medical care for so many pets, then some or all need to be rehomed to allow for proper care.

Yeah that sucks, but sometimes doing the right thing for the animals sucks for us. This is not a sudden emergency, this is routine care that people need to do for animals they bring into their lives. It didn't come out of nowhere and if they can afford cell phones, new cameras, birthday money, cigarettes, eating fast food often as Briana has claimed, and rental of a computer, as well as internet, they could have set aside 5-10 dollars a month for the animal needs. If her mom does not WANT to care for the animals, they need to go to a home that will.

that is a good point -
b/c Bri stated herself that her mom smoked.
I'd bet her mom always has money for cigs even when she can't afford the electric bill.
Kuhio- actually way back when this whole thing started - Bri asked for cash or checks to be sent to her for spaying of the animals. That would be a red flag for me sending a check to a 14 year old. B/c then right after she asked for that - she went to see Pirates of the Caribbean like 2-3 times in a weekend.
Now I just went to the matinee 2 weeks - ago - and it was $5.50 so even @ $5 for tickets- it would still have been $10-15 for the movies altogether - not to mention anything to eat or drink (which I do not know if she did)
that is when the paypal acct was set up.

ok - phred - you've beat this horse dead a couple times over -
time to move on before Karen gets fed up with us and deletes this one.

HUH?



I'm "flogging a dead horse" ??

I was ready to give it up a few posts ago ...
I've been correcting erroneous statements and urging CALM ...

I Was at 8, now 9, posts out of 82 = 10% by me.

(Sorry to hog my thread.)

Briana, although some of you may not agree, this thread could be an opportunity for you to learn from the opinions and feelings expressed here if you open up your heart and your mind to how others view some of your actions and attitudes. In a way this is the real world and it's not that different from the one you are going to live in and be accountable in. No, you may not agree with how your actions have been interpreted, but if you give it some serious thought instead of a knee jerk reaction, maybe you will be able to understand the perspectives of others.

Briana you have been given a lot of consideration, time, effort and concern by many wonderful caring people on this board. I hope you understand just how special that is. I hope you can appreciate how many people have reached out to you over the years in various ways. Please read the posts, positive and negative and see the truth that lies in both.

Phred, I don't like the deleting of threads either. To me that is equivalent to *deleting means never having to say you're sorry*, which in many cases would mean a lot to some of us.

Perhaps Animal Control in Bri's city should be notified? Lack of proper care?

[CathyBogart]

Lack of rabies vaccines and therefore licenses is certainly a big deal

Even if anybody could do that, AC can't do anything if the animals have food, water, and shelter. Which is evident they all do..but it's just not good enough care in my eyes.

When you ask for money from other people you open yourself up for scrutiny.

Family services (Bri?)

Do you have a reason for suggesting that Family Services be contacted? IF you have verifiable information you should certainly contact the appropriate authority. If you do not, suggesting such a thing on a public board may not be a wise thing to do. As we have learned anyone can not only read these threads but use them for other sources.

Wow...posts disappearing from a thread about disappearing threads....eerie isn't it?

Hope the one quoted above doesn't "disappear"....

[Catty1]

I deleted those two as they were being misinterpreted...I could have rewritten them, but I doubt they would have been re-read.

There were comments aplenty on them, so it's not like the content has disappeared.

They seem to get much more attention if they're deleted. They weren't important...if there's a way to put them back in, and Karen can tell me, I will. If I'm not washing my hair or patting the cat or some other urgent thing.

ES - JMO, but you seem to want to win this one. I offer to you a suggestion that someone offered to me many years ago: "You can be right, or you can be happy."

I wish I was sorry and felt like apologizing to you and grovelling in sheep manure for my deleted posts. But I don't.

Deal with it.

I agree to your whole post, good way of wording it.


But, simply like Vela said if her mom doesn't want to spend money on the animals or Bri have her spend money on them they should rehome them.

I feel bad for all the people who donated their hard earned money to Bri, while she out getting things she doesn't have to have with the money she suppously didn't have

[caseysmom]

It seems like a scam to me when she asked for money directly then when she didn't get that and it went to the vets office there were many excuses for not calling to set things up...I get up at 11, I don't have a phone, my mom doesn't let me use my cell phone for anything other than emergenies...blah blah blah
