you know it
everybody knows you have a pickup and a flat bed car hauler trailer... its like your free labor on call
in our neighborhood we had a veterans group to help out with people that might need a little help
little stuff
then the demands appeared, build us a deck or paint their house for free and they wanted us to provide the materials
crazy
got so bad that if anything in the village needed care and feeding the answer was call the veterans and they WILL do it
that was years ago, i stopped helping
just becasue i am a veteran and retired does not equate to me doing stuff just because you need it done
our catholic church got that way as well with those of us that were knights of columbus, we became the clean up crew for all the parishioners, emergencies are one thing... day to day clean up is quite the other.
finally had to tell the head cheese...nope nope i am not doing it, see ya
but its so good to be able to do now whatever we desire when we desire it,
turn off phone and vanish
