does anyone else do things like this?
I think its important to help someone whenever you can with in reason. You can give someone 5 seconds to 15 mins of your time to make their life easier, and 9 times out of 90 it costs you very little of anything else.

Abattoir Dream, i think it is sad that you feel that way, but you do what you must; and no one has any right to tell you that you are wrong. I have to ask you though, what do you do when you need assistance?
