5 Feet of Fury

Neighbour says: Frost family are a bunch of losers, as you had guessed

As I suspected all along, this is what the family behind “Frost-aquiddick” are really like:

   They’re good people. Terribly misguided, pathetically leftist buffoons, but still good people. It was a terrible accident and Bonnie is quite beat up with guilt over the events. Lots of neighbors pitched in to cook meals and help out… Bonnie works half time doing freelance editorial work and Halsey, an incredibly disorganized lovable goofball, just can’t seem to hold down a proper job or, when he’s tried, to run a proper company. He’s a millwork carpenter and does great work installing custom interior and exterior trimwork and cabinetry. He should be making great money but can’t get out of his way…

    …Still, we make choices, right? They have three vehicles – a nice new volvo SUV, a Suburban, and his F250 Ford Pickup work truck, a nice house, and all four kids go to private school. Not sure where the money comes from, but they don’t make all that much. Should they be the poster child for S-CHIP? Heck no….

I so enjoy having my suspicions confirmed. I intuited all this from the original reports. How?? Because I am 43 years old and have met lots of people in my life, including people like the Frosts: “incredibly disorganized lovable goofball” “males” — I LOATHE “men” like that, can you tell? — and “terribly misguided, guilty, pathetically leftist buffoons”, especially the females, who “do part time editorial work” i.e. pokey little half-assed projects for which they undercharge because they have low self esteen or whatever.

Sounds like my best (now ex-) “9/10” friend and her dorky husband, for one thing…

They are smart and often talented, but because they are leftists, success makes them feel guilty and conflicted and they sabotage themselves so they can have something to blame on The Man.

How do I manage such feats of piercing insight? “Life experience” we used to call it; kids these days call it “being judgmental”…
