What do you think?

Always trust your instinct! I can't stress that enough. There is a reason your brain it telling you, "Hey wait a second..." Always pay attention to that voice in your head! You may not know why you feel that way yet, but until you figure it out, stay the course of your initial instinct.

You have every right to say no. You offered to help within reason. Most people wouldn't have even offered. Why inconvenience yourself for someone you hardly know? There are many ways of reaching out and helping others other than driving people to bingo games.

What if you take them to bingo once, will they expect you to be doing it every week? You have no obligation to take care of your neighbors. You are right in saying "I can take you there but you'll need a ride home as I can't stay that late." That is still a generous offer. If they can't understand that, then they may take advantage of the situation. Once people know they can manipulate a person, they may do it again. SO stay firm, stand your ground, and don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with. You have to be responsible for your life and well being, not theirs...

You know....you are so right. I need to listen to my gut this time.

the play might be good...........you should go......you might be able to get some contacts for the future ........

Yeah... Enjoy the evening out at the play... go...go...

I'm going. I saw makeup secrets on Oprah today....so I'll just focus on that.

Must fess up....the last BF I had does lighting for the organization...so I'll likely run into him.

The split was kinda my fault....and I still feel bad about it.

I didn't want to hurt anyone....but there were some things about him, too which led to the split.

I'm sure it was meant to be. And he's married now...so that's really good. I'm happy for him...but I still feel bad.

Bingo... I was on a cruise once and they had bingo. I used to giggle at the thought. I decided to give it a go. Played Bingo for about an hour and had a blast! Surprisingly, it was so incredibly competative! Some even got pretty hostile, hmm.... I thought, this Bingo is pretty serious stuff. For some its a good time. For money, well there you are. I happen to steer clear from something that has that 'addictive' draw to it. Where personalities change because of it. Bringing a friend with you wouldn't be a bad idea. Judge for yourself.

lol..........the old dears even have lucky seats here.........god help you if you sit on one..........lol......

fluffy

I think they just want a ride....it's up to you, but I wouldn't because I have things to do for myself...

Quirky, you are incredibly funny!

I think all advice given is right on...remember too, that her mom was able to get to bingo and home again before you conveniently became their very kind hearted, generous neighbor .....only give what your comfortable with .....wait and see what happens......


I hope the theatre is enjoyable tonight...
