These ultra rich people can be very tight with finances and refuse to shell out money for anything including a carton of milk if they come visit you for a coffee - they expect you to pay for it @TAB. Its the way they are

i did same thing staying w them @SmilingGecko could get uncomfortable, as sometimes they say do you want to eat with us. or other times sounded like they werent happy about it
as mate said years ago, if visiting rels, always easier to stay at motel
i texted him today saying somethings bit hard to get/not worth it , best to let me know and I could get fm bigtown before he gets here, hes like I would pay you back .. last thing on my mind, but so long as pay for own drinks , I dont care if he eats my food, be struggling to find much lol. I wouldnt even say he was 'rich'. very well off maybe . he has indexed pension based 70% of $125k ie cos its tax free his income doesnt really drop once retires, so like $1500/wk indexed for life then goes to his wife if she lives longer he had a heap of shares and a house paid off like 20 years ago in which time his income has quadrupled. he owned over a million $ of property til sold one place, prob has millions in shares by now and guess he has savings.

@TAB A friend of a boyfriend owned a used goods store and was worth millions. He had a 3 storey house in Flemington. Used to visit us as he was not accepted by his peers. He had wealth but because MI peers would not accept him. 30 years ago. He would not pay for anything. I ended up buying a refurbished fridge from him. It made so much noise in my flat I could not sleep. Later found out the dude next door could hear the fridge through the wall. Had to send it back but he refused to pay for pick up to deliver back to store. I cut him off after that. He was like that with visiting too, would bring milk but expect us to pay for it

Hi @TAB
How's the weather ? it's 40 in Perth but 25 down in Albany.
I feel like gloating that iv missed the 40 but it will be like that when I go back to Perth......
This friend of ours is a horder. He goes to the tip pretty much every day to a store there and buys things.
His carers from NDIS are fantastic.

@SmilingGecko @PeppyPatti @saturnzoon was talking to my support worker today and she has never experienced any paranormal. she asked me if i see in pictures which i do but she doesnt at all. she said she cannot imagine what it is like to have schizophrenia. i said it is like when you see something like a monster it is as real as me talking to her now. she explained my past lives experience as my minds imagination. idk .... thoughts?

@greenpea When I got diagnosed, spirituality was considered a MI so you just didn't talk about it. It was back in the 1990's when everyone was atheist.
Many of these professionals use a diagnostic lens through which they perceive reality and by that I mean if your experiences satisfy certain criteria they say its MI symptoms. I wouldn't talk to her about your paranormal experiences. She just only sees MI and nothing more.
You can share with us here as we aren't in the business of pathologising people. It would be nice if your worker was more open minded and to have a closer sharing relationship.
My friend before she died used to say don't cast your pearls before time, (not swine)
