i have learned a lesson from so many others that i am glad i did not have to learn on my own...if you are not a bank, don't loan money, if you have the money to give to someone, and you feel that they will use it wisely, do so (i am more of the type to go with them and pay a bill or buy things for them, rather than handing them cash or a check)...but if they so happen to pay you back, it's a pleasant suprise, not something you expected...and if you didn't expect it you won't be dissapointed and build a resentment... and you can help people, who want to be helped...you cannot put more into helping a person than they are willing to put into it themselves, you will end up drained, wasted away and bitter...i've said this before and i will say it again and again...i don't catch people who are falling, either figuratively or litterally, it only causes me to fall too, however i will help you back up, but you gotta reach out and do half the work yourself, and i will give you support but i will not walk for you...i will only help others as much as they are willing to help themselves... dropping my two cents every where today... chelle
