No fool like a old fool

Yep I am sure there are many who have been there and have the tee shirt too, but do we ever learn the lesson, well some of us do I am sure,
You get the message ,I am so sad,
God help you if you ask why, so I don't I just wait for others to answer them,
Call me tight, call me what you want but you have to help yourself before you can help others I say,
To me parents are the only true people who you should help with out them asking but it seems that anyone dare ask for anything these days because you are rich and seem to be on holiday all the time,
If you do send anything you will be blessed and there will be that many Amens sent you way too,
You have to laugh don't ya,
So how many other fools, sorry kind people I ment to say are out there,

It's almost impossible for me to turn away for someone who really needs my help..........

I don't regret it nor am I ashamed of what I've done, fool or not.

That's the first problem you have to try and sort,.
Do they really want help and is it genuine,

In my life I have no regrets.

I've never done anything nor put my name to anything that I'll ever be ashamed of.

Always followed that advice given to me so many years ago

I often help folks who I don't know and don't know me........

Not me.... I`m a mean tight fisted Kuripot GIT!!!! And they know it...They have known it for years since the days they took me in my younger years for a young,kind and gullible mug.
We live and we learn...No shame in that.

I'm not talking about my extended family who have known the score since shortly after my arrival.

We do not always need a Pilipino connection to be a regular cash cow!

About 18 months ago I bought my eldest son, who has had a rough couple of years a Nescafe Dolce Gusto , coffee machine that uses the pre measured "pods" and gave him a few boxes of the expensive pods, now today I am still supplying the pods for the machine, he gets through about double what I do!

We help several families and have arranged help for 2 others. Not a fortune but a little help on a monthly basis.
Makes you feel good. Can't take it with you when you've gone.
Managed to dump a few takers along the way as well.

Dont get me wrong i do help and i do know i will never see the money again, but when someone does ask and i know that they have the funds to pay it back well i say yes and we agree a time to pay it back by ,
That works fine and if its all done properly well they can come again, the rest dont get another chance,
I have been burnt good and proper just the once , but in the end it all came good for me and Emma
