There are a few people I don't mind asking, because they KNOW I'd help them right back, but other than that, nope. I figure out a way or do without.Anne Raineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110446131001665977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-37977351138986956162009-03-10T12:51:00.000-04:002009-03-10T12:51:00.000-04:00Mary--wow.

I always think "if they were any bigger . . ."<BR/><BR/>I do know what you mean about users, though. My DH says I have sucker written on my forehead. I tell him that I'm just a girl that can't say no.

Personally, I don't feel comfortable even going to people for help unless it's someone I'm close to. Then it's an understanding.
