Oh dear,Marian,I'll surely keep you in my thoughts. I sincerely hope your nephew will find employment soon,the farm sounds like a pretty good opportunity,at least for now,and it would probably help him feel better about a number of things.
Thanks for your support GG. I really do love talking to people who understand.
All I get around here is criticism that altho I'm a Christian but not acting like one. But if you help people too much they take advantage and don't do anything for themselves. That's my catch-22 situation.
I am not a Christian, Marian, but do those people need reminding that "The Lord helps those who help themselves."? :wink:

;angry: contantly
but then I recite "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime".
That shuts them up, but then they go away and think of something else.
:roll: It never ends.

I think you are acting like a Christian, Marian. Come on, you took your nephew with you when he needed an accommodation.
Anyway, helping people doesn't mean that you have to sort everything out for them, it can mean making them understand that they have to take their life into their hands and help themselves.

Thank you Frances. I dont mind helping people at all, but I do get annoyed when people tell me I should help more (that is, do everything) for others. It doesn't seem enjoyable then.
