Today, my brother and I were going to give our parents their anniversary gift which cost us over $3000. The gift was a trip to London in August to see a show on Michael Jackson's comeback tour. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
Today, my brother and I spent almost $600 to plan and throw a divorce party for our mother. She proceeded to announce that she and our dad are staying together and that we completely jumped the gun. We deserve it, but… FML
Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look on the bright side. You could have handed them the gift YESTERDAY and they'd be soooo happy and then they'd turn on the TV and see "BREAKING NEWS: MICHAEL JACKSON DEAD AT 50." At least this way you can give them the trip to London and leave the MJ part out of it. And hopefully you get your money back on the ticket.

They said they were giving out refunds so I don't know why on earth you're complaining. Give them the 3000 bucks instead and shutup.

tell that to his legions of fans number 82. And by legions, I mean the majority of the music industry and millions of people around the world.

And Van Gogh cut his own ear off. Define genius for me, please. I'd love you hear your opinions. The man never had a childhood, so of course his mind never left it. He wasn't allowed to grow up right. Even still, he had tremendous talent and influenced SO MUCH of the music industry. What the hell have YOU done with YOUR life!?

How many cases have you heard about that you are sure that the defendant was guilty but "proofen" innocent, how many cases do you hear about where the dependent was innocent but "proofen" gulty. You can mention the example of OJ, but how often have innocent people been put away? Just because you have one example of this, doesn't mean that it works for all cases.

It is true that it does not "work" for all cases. It is also true that while many people are falsely convicted, at least as many, if not more, get away with guilt. Furthermore, while it is possible that people lied to get him in trouble, it is also possible that people lied to protect him from conviction as well because he is a celebrity. Also, why are you saying "proofen"? That does not make any sense.

That doesn't change the fact that he was a prodigy.

To number 244. The man just DIED people. Show some respect for his mother at least; she has the ungodly task of having to bury her child, one of her youngest sons pretty soon. Have some class and show some respect. You don't have to like him to STILL show respect. He's gone now so there is no need for people to continue to be cruel. Just like the prosecutors you don't have proof to convict him. Don't believe everything you read and hear because people DO tell such lies for money. Michael was such an easy and vulnerable target too, so please stop speaking as if you know this man better than his family and please stop acting as if you know what you're talking about. The man is gone. Show some respect and move on for his mother at least. I'm just happy he's no longer on earth to read/hear these disrespectful, disgusting, rude, insensitive, and heartless comments (such as the one made by #244) about him anymore.

Yes yes yes... f YOUR life because Michael Jackson died. Reminds me of the old ladies I overheard on the metro complaining about their "bad luck" when the train stopped because it struck a suicidal teenager. Don't lose sight of the fact that someone died, k?
