Friends, family, countryman... lend me a dollar. That's all I heard over the holiday, as if I'm not on borderline broke myself. Everyone has that particular family member or "friend" that thinks you have the bank to give them or other resources that you have that may help them in some endevore that they a hatching up inside the norrow alleyway that they call the mind. Needless to say the rest of the holiday was cool. I had to work the rest of the holiday but I'm not the only one who had to do so. But that little encounter can be a small let down because they are not on the same level of thinking that you may be on such as showing up for the holidays for your family in best wishes for them and yourself to prosper and other family members that are there to so called prosper on thier behalh and your pocket book. The point is not to get so upset about it. When holidays come around and you know that this particular family member will arrive at the yearly functions (and they will), just make a game of it... pay attention to them and count how many people they asked throughout the function. See how many fall for it and see how many of your family members don't and when next your comes around see if the same people fall for it again or if they learned their listen at last years gathering. Believe me... this will become a game favorite at your next family get together. Happy holidays.
