I will take the smack on the head with the bunny slipper, and I will thank you to ask ex-e to make the net available in case I ever do that again. "NO, I won't give you money for drugs, but I'll give money to other people who give you money for drugs?" HUH? I am helping these people exist in their delusions. That is uncool. How much quicker I would have put my foot down with Dino if my friends and creditors had not been so damned understanding! No, I don't blame them, I bless them. How wonderful that there are people who want to help! And to be completely fair... they didn't know what was going on, because I didn't realize what was going on. But I have told Dino's parents what the problem is. Their other kids have told them. They have bailed him out of jail on crack charges. (Obviously, they thought it was a bum rap.)
Perhaps it's not my duty to wake these folks up, but it's also not my duty to rescue them from their mistake, any more than it is my duty to rescue Dino.
I think I'll just sit in the skillet a little longer.
