Well, obviously you'd spend it on your own children first but it's a lovely thing to do if you've got it spare.

Glad you think that's funny........If I turned out as miserable as you come across in your post's I think I would have something to worry about.
I think you have more time to dig out these little titbits as does your bosum buddy, to score points on your fellow members than the rest of the members who you choose to shoot down...or try.
One of these day's I love love to see a post "Margaret is happy" I fear that will be a long time coming.

Having been on here for 3 years now, think I have a good handle of what goes on on here, and one thing I have never done is zone in on any members and keep making digs at them over and over again... in fact I think I would find it rather tiresome

So do I......I have crossed swords with the main protagonist many times and that is not Margaret....I have been accused of not having a legitimate parentage one occasion, again not Margaret....Zoning in on a particular member is happening in reverse as far as I am concerned and quite cleverly turned round to make me the villain.....Margaret in her wisdom tries to cover over the weakness of the offending member and comes to his rescue, and that offends me........I like this forum and intend to stay that is why I am a supporter...Friendly banter is one thing but down right ignorance is another...and I too find it tiresome.
