(23,156 posts)here than there really is.
Or because so many people here defended her for so very long last year, she thinks it will be the same this time.
I took a huge amount of abuse last year from people who thought I was terrible, just terrible to keep track of her various threads, point out some of the more glaring discrepancies, and suggest people not send her a penny. Her very first post last year sort of took me in, although I wasn't about to send money. Then by the second thread I was quite suspicious, and by the third one her excuses, deflections, pretend helplessness, and pleas for money told me for sure she was scamming.
Notice, by the way, that she put up the OP, showed up a total of four more times in the thread, mostly to questions about Yoshi. No responses to actual good suggestions of free or very cheap care, or to pay directly to whoever would extract this tooth. Here's my prediction: she'll let this thread go on for a couple of more days, after which it will die a natural death. Then, in about three weeks she'll be back: her tooth problem has gotten vastly worse, she's got some systemic infection, practically at death's door herself, can't even manage to walk poor Yoshi, and will be in very, very desperate need of money sent to her immediately.
She probably has quite a few who've posted here on Ignore -- she apparently put me on Ignore in the middle of that amazing saga last year, so I feel free to post anything that's not actually defamatory, as she won't even see my posts.
