Ladies, I have posted on this thread previously, but this is so much like an incident I experienced. I had someone tell me, well, you've got a nice house, don't you think I should have a nice house, too. My response to this is, yes, I have a nice house, the main reason being I've worked my fanny off to have this house. If you want a nice house, you need to do the same thing. I worked for more than 40 years before I got this house! My husband, son and I all worked very hard to be able to get this house. I feel the same way about my quilting tools, sewing machines, etc. I won't be a lender because I cannot afford to replace something that someone else either doesn't return or destroys! I cannot understand the mentality of anyone who thinks because you have something, you can replace it when she tries/succeeds in borrowing something and either destroys it or fails to return it! Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now!
