Connecticut Ping!!
Let me know if you want on or off of this Ping List.
“She hoards all kinds of junk she picks up at tag sales: pot tops without pots, costume jewelry, old shirts and once even brought home an old bicycle without a chain.”
Well, I’m busted, LOL!
““The most important thing here is not the paintings, it’s my wife.””
Typical amoral “loving” attitude. The paintings are important to OTHER people. A nutty wife does not have the right simply to act out her mental illness regardless of the interests of others.
And her husband is a model facilitator. He talks almost like an abused spouse. Anything which makes his wife “happy” is all right.
Mental illness is a danger, to the victim, and also to society. It is not true, though, that status as a “victim” entitles one to get away with crimes. The crimes must be stopped, and further crimes prevented. It may mean locking up this klepto, or otherwise restricting her rights.
It would have been nice if her husband had shown some ... let’s say, responsibility, himself.
