Just a suggestion, but I have what I call "The Bone Phone" ..It is a pre-paid phone from the grocery store, and is used ONLY for the stripper boys. Ms Ann gets a little tipsy after a couple of Gin and Tonics, and I tend to fall in love with everyone, and I love giving out my number, ya know because I'm so sure that they are in love with me also, and can't wait to call. Now when the "Bone Phone" rings, I know it's one of the kids from the club, and I can choose to answer it or not. ..easy peasy.

Grandma would really like to help those needy young men, but I am on a fixed income, and Metamucil has gotten quite expensive. So I have found ways OTHER THAN monetary to help them out ...

If a few hundred would help him and you don't mind spending it, give it to him. Then, if he needs more, let him work for it. I don't mind helping someone I believe truly has need but there is a limit. In no circumstance would I lend anyone money. It is either a gift or nothing. That said, I have one Thai guy who asked me for about 1,000 many years ago. I gave it to him. He opened up a small juice cart. That has now turned into a restaurant and all from the 1,000 I gave him. It is one of the very few times where I felt like I had not wasted my money on someone. The rest of the ones, I chalk up to trying to help failures. I am ok with those as well.

Psst! Grandma needs to know the Walmart store brand is half the price. This stuff is the shits.

Grandma cant afford no fucking "Bone phone". I just write my number on THESE and let the boy keep em... If he calls, you know he's into you.

They are practically "inseparable"...... Hoover, Nothing to be nervous about. If the vermin gives you a "shakedown", just call the cops... but Granny suggests telling them to bring their "big gun", and always ask for a "Frisking"..... It's a win / win........

Is there a difference?

Glad to hear you are home. Take care of yourself

In this, as in so much else, Grandma proved to be ahead of her time:

If he's willing to work for it, and you're interested in hiring him I would limit your financial contributions to hiring. Are you interested in him sexually? Do you have work around the house you need done? Any need for a personal assistant a couple days a week. I think there is plenty of public assistance necessary for those who need it. A healthy young man should be able to support himself. If you judge that he prefers to hold his hand out rather then put that effort towards working then I would not help him.

I thank all of you for your kindness and good wishes. I have been very bad about attending to my health needs and I have now paid a serious price. I have suspected for years that I was probably diabetic but did nothing about it till I almost died a month ago because of a MERSA infection and complications from my Diabetes. I have now been in Hospital for over a month. Part of my foot has been removed. I will have to be super vigilante about my diet and my health for the rest of my life. I will also be dealing with bills and financial hardship for some time. Not fun but at least I am alive.
