I think the one that hurts me even more than this one is when people (supposed friends) tell me to call if I need anything, then they're always too busy or unavailable when I do call ... Like how nice it would be to tag-a-long to the grocery store on a cold, wet, rainy weekend when my arthritis is just to painful to crawl on my moped (can't afford a car) and get there myself ... I've learned to just quit asking and make do some other way ... I wish they just wouldn't even offer at all in the first place ... I know people are busy and that their lives are involved, but don't say and offer things you don't really mean because it's disingenuous and hurts!
