9/11 widow blows 4.5 million dollars

[carole]

I would imagine with that big amount of compensation there would be enough to go around for the shoes, and all the things like college education as well don't you think?

I watched 80% of the interview.....
I don't remember them mentioning any kind of trust fund for the kids.

People like this really annoy me...

She probibly mourns the money more than she mourns her husband...and are her kids really happy?

Although I bet she can pay her bills by charging people 5 bucks for the privilage of slapping her upside the head. I know I'd stand in line.

[carole]

Hey steady on , I think that is way too judgemental, we donot know the woman personally, to say she does not or has not grieved for her husband is really unfair and a little unkind to say the least., be careful not to judge someone until you have walked in their shoes.

Richard seems to be the only one who saw most of the interview, so we have only his opinion to go by really.

Wasn't trying to be judgemental, I've just seen numerous interviews with people who have gotten death benifits from 9/11 (and from other disasters) and they all seemed to be more emotional over the money than the death of thier loved one. Also if it were me, I would want to honor my loved one by providing for the kids in a meaningful and positive way. In my opinion, material posessions did not and will not benifit those kids in the long term. I really don't think that her husband when he said to provide for the kids meant that he wanted her to get herself 200 pairs of shoes...

Its sad really. Once money gets involved it seems like common sense flies out the window. Then again Im one of those people that is against the acumulation of "stuff".

Also, I find it distasteful of the woman to parade her problems on national television. It just seems tacky to me. Does anyone know if she got paid to do this interview? I'm curious.

Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers carole, and if I offended you I really do apologise! *Siriously!* Disgusting displays of material wealth have always annoyed me. I probibly should have emoted a lot less though.

[carole]

No need for an apology, I am not in the least bit offended, how can I be, I understand what you are saying, I just thought you were a tad harsh in your judgement.

Actually 200 prs of shoes is not a lot considering she got 4.5 million dollars, I would really have to have seen the interview to make further comments,Did you see it then? if so you will know more than me.

Carole unruffles her feathers, te he,just kiddin.

[DJFyrewolf36]

I read a news report about the interview, although I would have actually liked to have seen it so I can judge for myself. (the media does tend to have a bit of a baised attitude at times )

LOL although as I reply I am thinking that I only have THREE pairs of shoes to my name...and thats actually quite a lot for me. For the longest time I only had one pair. I can't immagine the pain of having to try and pick a pair to wear if I had 200 of em

[carole]

Yep I am not big in the shoes department either, still 200 is not such a lot when you have 4.5 million to spend, I think Imelda Marco's and the celebs could give her a run for her money.

i never saw that.............
