Saving Money

March 1st, 2006 at 05:27 pm

I am kind of upset today. I talk on a local forum a lot. Yesterday, one of the newer members mentioned that her son need a trumpet for band and she could not afford it.
I asked if it was possible to make payments on it cause I did not know the cost.
Well, another old time member just jumped all over me about saying that.
She talked about me online and made it obvious that I had made the new member feel put down. (she would not do well on this forum as we ask each other questions all the time)
Actually, I was going to offer to pay the payments on the trumpet myself, so she could have it for free.
Trying to do something nice and is caused a big controvery!!!
Guess I just saved myself over $300!

    it's amazing how peoples' pride is affected when you try to do a good deed... it's a shame. kudos for you, though! most people aren't that generous.

    Well thank you, that makes me feel a little better. They said they had been praying, and I was thinking, well, here I am , ready to buy it for you. People are funny. I offered to pay for an elderly couple's groceries every month and they would not let me.

    Wow - they don't know where to look! I sold a nice trumpet on Ebay a couple years ago for less than $100..... I wouldn't worry about them! I don't even know you and already think you're one of the coolest ppl here (shhhh!) Wink

    Gosh thanks, you really cheered me up. It is not just me. Yesterday a new guy joined us (he is a green beret, overseas) and he made a joke about stealing cable. His FIL had started a thread about cable and he was just joking around. This same person said some terrible things about him, like did he just escape from jail?)

    You could have just bought the trumpet for the person. This was on a public forum? Which one? Is it archived?
