She use to come here every Monday, before I finally put a stop to it because she was coming out just for the free food. We have taken her out many, many times. She has plenty of money, her own place in Florida and goes on cruises every year...so no I wouldn't give her any money. I would give some to my brothers, just because they are my brothers and I love them, but I wouldn't want either of their wives to benefit from it. Horrible aren't I? My best friend...well I would give her the world. What ever it would take to make her healthy again. Other than my immediate family, my best friend would never want for anything either.

Janet, you are NOT selfish. I would not give ANY of my friends any bc I don't think they would give me any if I really needed it and they had money to give. I would only help those who have gone out of their way to help me or those who I know I can count on to help me if I truly needed it. I really hate moochers. I hate it when people are only friends with people who have something to offer them. I steer very clear of people like that. It is quality, not quantity that matters to me. I have very few friends (I could probably count my friends on one hand), but the friends I have, I would give my life for.
