Oh, I wasn't aware that the kids went along on the shopping trip to NYC. Does that mean that they also went to FAO Schwarz together, which would spoil any surprises? JB may have been a bit of a tomboy? I don't really know. However, it'd seem that PR should want her future Miss America to get accustomed to grand surroundings and being waited on. I don't see PR having any problems with flashing around credit cards in any case. Just sayin'.
Of course, we shall never know; but, sometimes I wonder if at a certain point in her maturation, JB may have turned on PR as being a Mommie Dearest.
Maybe this is my faulty memory; but, I thought that the Bloomies underwear were meant as a birthday gift, not a Christmas one, for PR's niece. Is this incorrect?
And while I am here, allow me to add something off topic. It strikes me as mean and stingy that the Rs refused LHP a loan of $2,000, given their ample resources. Did they really need every last bit of JR's 118k bonus? Pious words about Christianity come much easier than actual acts of charity. Not nice people for whom to work. This may explain in part why the Rs asserted that a resentful employee of JR's might be the responsible party. I know that I'd not want him as my boss.

Patsy Ramsey Interview - Atlanta, Georgia - August 28, 2000 Interviewed by: Michael Kane, Bruce Levine, Mitch Morrissey, Mark Beckner, Tom Wickman, Tom Trujillo and Jane Harmer
Q. (By Ms. Harmer) Was there - I'm
3 sorry. Do you recall making a decision then
4 not to give them to Jenny or did JonBenet
5 express an interest in them; therefore, you
6 didn't give them to Jenny? How did that --
7 A. I can't say for sure. I mean, I
8 think I bought them with the intention of
9 sending them in a package of Christmas things
10 to Atlanta. Obviously I didn't get that
11 together, so I just put them in her, her
12 panty drawer. So they were free game.
The people that were on the trip when PR purchased the bloomies were (Same interview):
Q. The first trip, who was that trip
22 with?
23 A. The first trip was a
24 mother-daughter trip with my mother Nedra
25 Paugh, my sister Pam Paugh, friends Susan
1 Flanders from Charlevoix, Michigan, and her
2 daughter and a friend of Susan's, Ms.
3 Kirkpatrick I believe was her name, and her
4 daughter, and JonBenet and myself.
You would think, since PR had money and spent it lavishly to impress other people (on her home & JB pageants) she would not think twice about buying from the best. From experience, people who have a lot of money can also be very stingy w/their money. Also, PR was given money from JR for expenses. I would personally call that an allowance. While considering this we must remember that JB was made to wear BR hand me down’s. Also worth noting is the fact that everywhere you look in the crime scene photos are cloths laying on the floor in their home (w/the exception of BR bedroom). It was rather neat for someone w/scatolia issues. My point here is there were so many cloths laying around there needed to be a surplus to wear.
As far as the religious aspects of this case and from experience I would saw that it can be used as a crutch and not necessarily as a principle.
