[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2779031, member: 13624"] I've a spare bedroom I've given--not rented, given--to friends in need. Anybody who needs help is free to ask. I've also kicked guests out for claiming a need, but playing bridge instead of working. I've bailed my own brother out of jail (and written the brief defending him) when the charge was bogus, and given him a size-12 in the backside when he blew his rent at the casino. I may have been blunt, but I don't think my point is wrong. As to friends who worked to better themselves while I hosted them, well, they're doing better than I am at the moment...and I'm honored to call them friends. One in particular I was honored to toast at her graduation recently (she and her husband shared my guest room for several months), and I look forward to their future success. I'm not out to kick anybody. I do find a disconnect between enjoying the good times and complaining about others doing the same, and between saying "I work hard" and saying "unemployment isn't enough" when we all know it's inevitable. That's not bad luck, it's poor planning. [/QUOTE]
