Well said Nibblets!

You know, I work hard for what I have. Thee's something inside me that won't let me accept freebies. Just yesterday I was offered a ton of stuff for free and INSISTED she take money for it... I had to talk her into $500. I feel like I'm robbing her. What makes me so different that I need to pay my way whereas other feel they are entitled sit back and wait for someone else to hand them something? It doesn't have anything to do with black or white becuase my white cousin is 30 and never ever had a job, lives on welfare and has a baby... no husband or boyfriend in the pitcure. She figures "why work when I can get what I want anyway?" GRRRR. Is it how we were raised? Then why is my cousin's sister VERY hardworking and industrious? Is it tied with mentality? Personality?

I too just try to live my life as honestly and happily as I can. I try to help everyone as I can. I am here only once, and I want to be proud of my life when its time to go.
