Help her. Help everybody. You clearly have too much money, so spreading it around would be a good thing.

I like very expensive whisky but am unable to afford it. I wrote to Teddy Kennedy about my problem, but it came back 'Return to Sender' and smelling vaguely of urine, so that was no good. I wrote to George W Bush, but the letter was intercepted by one of his minions and incinerated as a threat to the national bourbon industry.

Help me Crashi-wan, you're my only hope.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Hi Crash.  I'm a single mother.  I'll give you my address.

Careful Dol.

Something tells me Crash isn't being too up front about the "terms" of his charity, if you catch my drift. :devil:

No, I would not even have or really want to talk to her, much less see her. She can do what she wants with her life. For the sake of her kid, since she's struggling more than most - I'd like to help.

You should give her all of your money. You'll be like... the ATM Messiah.

Crash, you're being dense. Either you're making this up as you go along to get attention again or you don't see that this woman will find another man to help her and her son. Either way you should let it go.

I don't know, but her situation really touched me down deep emotionally - and I feel like I should help even if there are no strings attached. After all, she's just a human being trying to make it like all of us - what's wrong if she gets a little more help? Her life is hard already, sure - she can find another man to help her, but it is not as fast or easy as you'd think.

If what you want is to tell yourself what you want to hear or to keep repeating yourself, you've doing a pretty good job.

Lots of people have been touched emotionally by people who are no longer in their lives. You're no different.

Speaking from your vast amount of experience, no doubt.

Again, your reservoir of experience enables you to make that judgment, huh?

If you were actually sincere, I'd recommend that you channel whatever monies you want to give through a charitable organization, which is better qualified to evaluate and rank need than you are. Better yet ... volunteer, so you can see real need for yourself.

But really, all you want to do is pretend to get advice, which you have no intention of taking, unless it agrees with what you plan to do anyway.

So why do you ask? Do you really get your jollies from having people here mocking you?
