I am older than a lot of people I deal with. But,I believe me when I say this...
If I tell you I am going to do something for you, I'll do it or go down trying.

And as luck would be, if I can't figure out a way to make it happen...
I will tell you face to face the exact reason I can't do the deed.

This makes no sense to some of you, the FFN's know exactly what I am talking about.


People tell your secrets. If you want no one to know... keep it to yourself.

Its very hard to help out someone when they consistantly fall short at the very last minute. What makes it worse is the fact that you know they are good folks at heart but it still doesnt make it any better.

Especially when you go to bat for them to help out only to be left looking like a major asshole in the end.

And the topper was being publically lied to.

I wont do it again.
