It has happened before where the stuff mixes up and gets the wrong names. I don't know why wordpress does this!

In a braggy sort of way. Instead of, we're going to Ibiza for a holiday, you could say: I helped this old lady across the road. Instead of saying, I got a new pair of Manolos (personally, I don't know someone who owns Manolos), you could say, I donated blankets to the shelter. Then everyone will want to be IN, and would be so HOT to help people. Imagine philanthropy reaching this amazing status where all the rich people could give a damn about their riches...it's so much better to like, give people time or offer their help. Just be careful not to get taken for a ride, Tobes...this is a very thin line. Tobes,

You guys are hilarious! Batman, I hope it doesn't come to that. I wouldn't know how to say no. Gnome, don't feel bad, the thought crossed my mind too. Kash99, whew, I hope it doesn't reach that point. It is the way we grew up I think but how do you distinguish then between a genuine cry for help and being taken for a dingus, as you say? Hee, hee. You guys are hilarious!

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I immediately thought this woman is taking advantage of you. I shouldn't think like that. She probably really needs the money and you're just doing the right thing!
