Why on base it seems like everybody is in
competition with one another, like who have the best "HOME DECOR", who makes the BEST HAIR BOWS and TUTUS (so over that sh*t),who sells the most SCENTSYS, who dives the BEST CAR, who wear the best "NAME BRAND clothes", who has the CUTEST KIDS, who kids has the BEST TOYS...LMAO....The list goes on....so over it.... just to funny 

who has the best facebook camp pendleton pages/group....lol.. 

Where do you people love that your neighbors are like this? None of my neighbors are in competition with anyone. We just live our lives. I could probably compete for he messiest house a few times a week but that's it. Ha! 

I have lived here since 2010 and not once have I been notified of any of these "competitions". Now I am just upset. 

LOL! I have no time to pay that much attention to other people. 

I have won the cutest kids one! I don't care about the rest. ;) 

maybe its just me...
idk...
Chefs why do that make you upset?..lol 

I believe it might seem like there is competition reguarding groups and such on fb because if someone doesnt like a group they leave it and make their own. Thats why there is a thousand reslae pages, LTB, Free, ect. 

Not to mention people who sell things such as bows, scentsy, ect think they invented it and they can be the only ones to do it. FYI there are thousands of people who make bows,tutus, sell scentsy. YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE. You didnt come up with the thousand products that come with scentsy. And every bow maker tutu maker has the same shit so your no diffrent then the person next door. LMAO 

Blah you understand where i was coming from..THANKS!
I agree 100%.
...thats what i was talking about...lol
I had to leave a couple of groups on there because it was getting a little out of control...!! 

I couldn't agree more!!!! I just laugh at the people who talk about spending $200 on a pair of jeans, and such. I drive my husband nuts because I won't spent more the $20 for clothes. I personally would rather have cash in my pocket then cash hanging in my closet. But that's just me. 

^ It's because they're a "nobody" and they think buying that stuff will make them a "somebody". Well, I don't see there being any base-wide competitions to see who can "best represent" Camp Pendleton hahaha. 

That's everywhere. Nobody wants to keep up with the Joneses anymore, they want to demolish them! LOL I've seen it on base and not, but not necessarily in whole neighborhoods. Just the few odd balls trying to get out and prove themselves in all the wrong ways. 

haha Alisa same here! 20 and less is the best!...ha!

LMAO!

who can "best represent" Camp Pendleton ha!! 

I agree it is every where, but i guess i just really noticed it when moving on base and being surrounded by alot at once...
I understand people take pride in what they have and what they can do/talents but d*mn to post it on fb every 2 secs...no one cares...delete! 

No one wants to see all the crap you collected in your house balling off your husband deployment money, and no one cares about you having the best bow making/tutu creations, and no one really want to buy your scentsys...
ghesh... i think we get stuck in the house and influence to buy these things for no reason... including me...ha! 

I live off base and have a neighbor who is always struggling to keep up with the Joneses on her waitress salary and her husbands unemployment. It used to crack me up but now I can't help but pity them. All that debt they are piling up while trying to prove themselves. What a shame. And of course, bragging about filing bankruptcy to get out of the debt they previously acquired. :/ 

I think the fact that my husband and I will be completely debit free, have both our trucks, and house completely paid off, within the next 5 years is what drives me to not " keep up with the Jones". And while all these people will be complaining at 40 that they have thousands of dollars of debit, I will be sitting on an Alaskan cruise. He he :-)

Awesome! We're headed down that road too. We're on more of a 10 year plan, however! ;) 

Who are the Joneses everyone is talking about that people are apparently trying to keep up with?
