The 4th of July is nearly here, and my neighbor is throwing a huge party for it. Me and another friend of ours pitched in to help out with the goodie bags for the kids. At least that was the original plan. We ordered most of the stuff from a mail order catalog and I put it all on my credit card with the agreement that the other 2 ladies were to give me the money for their purchases on July 1 . I tried to talk our one friend into not getting so much, because I could see she was spreading her money too thin, but she would not listen. I knew she was not the best risk on something like this, because of past doings, but I did not want her to feel left out, so I let her order the 2 things she had picked out. When the bill came I paid it all off as I had planned to. On the first the lady that is having the party gave me the money she owed me, but the other lady did not. The 2 ladies had gotten into a fight over the one ladies trouble making son and the other's nephew who himself was capable of getting in trouble. The one does not plan to come to the party and I knew when I found that out that I knew she was not going to pay me for what she ordered.
The fight they had had nothing to do with me or the deal I made with either of them, so I think she should keep her side of it. I kept mine. But I made up my mind if she does not pay me for what she ordered I will just go ahead and give the kids the things that were ordered and just never trust my user friend again. I still see them both as friends because I do not pick friends by who does me no wrong I pick them by who does me more good then bad. I guess that makes me the idiot that can not tell the difference because the girl that still owes me money comes from a long line of users. Her sister used to flirt guys up on line to get them to send her things, and her mother still owes me $5 for like a year. It is sometimes hard to tell real friends from users. Thing about users is if you can use them back lol. If you can then you can call them friend because if everyone is using everyone it is all fair.
I may be and idiot for letting users in my life but if you really look at your life we have all used someone for something at sometime in our lives. I do not see a problem with letting someone use you as long as you can use them when you need them.
