Originally posted by DonM: I wonder what happened to those two young brothers. Uncle Dave arranged for them to get a new PSR from Yamaha.

I never talked to him after that. Seems we did a nice thing and spoiled them into thinking that they could get anything they needed, just by playing the 'needy" card. I was really disapointed after that call. I hope they don't turn into people who use others to get whay they want.

I hear what you're saying, Dave. Last year, I helped a young friend of one of my children with a hospital bill, and got her a job at a friend's company. She called me not to say thanks (never did), but to ask for money to buy new clothes to wear to work.
Last week I bought a TV for a young man who was my father-in-law's roommate at a nursing home. He had asked for one, since he was moving into a room without one. Yesterday, he told me he sold it, and was going to get a used one somewhere.
I can't tell you how many times someone has needed money, equipment, vehicle loans...whatever. Most never repay money. If I get vehicles or equipment back that is damaged, it's just my bad luck.
It's hard sometimes to separate the truely deserving from the hustlers.
