Yep... But somehow I'd still rather be known as the "do-er of good deeds with scars to prove it" than not.... Besides, think of all the good complaining I'd miss out on!

Don't you find that most folks are grateful or almost embarassed to get helped but there are some who abuse the "service" and call constantly? I do anyway, one guy near me constantly calls when he needs something. Never hear from the "pal" any other time.
That puts me in mind of an old buddy of my dad. This guy would always be helping those who needed help. He was constantly showing up to lend a hand. He would do so without being asked. Dad told me one time George would do anything for people who needed help but were trying to do without. And he would graciously decline to help people who could do for themselves but were always asking others to do things so they didn't have to.
There's a great lesson in life in that stratagy.
