I like to help people when they ask for help but when you keep explaining something again & again and they don't understand or do the opposite, you do get tired of it.

I said I could not remember me giving money advice to anyone, but last night I remembered that yes I have, and fairly big time! I gave my friend a lot of advice (she had lots of questions) when she was buying a house last April. And she did follow my advice....Same person I gave advice about indoor temps and ways to keep pipes from freezing while she left the country for 3 weeks. Though she comes from a much warmer climate where frozen pipes is not an issue, and had never owned a house before, she did not like my advice. So while she was gone, the pipes froze and burst, necessitating a plumber. And we all know how expensive that can be."There is some ontological doubt as to whether it may even be possible in principle to nail down these things in the universe we're given to study." --text msg from my kid

Sadly, advice that is not solicited is often looked upon in a hostile fashion regardless of good intent. That is just the way of it. I never offer advice unless I am asked!Comment
