In all my years Laz, I never have figured out myself, why sometimes its so damn hard to just say no.

Glad to hear all things worked out for you. Thank you for sharing. Always a good reminder for those of us who let our guard down or always believe in the goodness of others

As sad as it is, I've always been a cynic. When I was a very young lad my Father taught me to trust no one, he was a prison gard and felt trust had to be earned first.

Funny thing, one of our neighbor's was so very nice, great with kids and always wanted to go for a walk.

Harry came to the door and asked my Mother if he could take my sister for a walk but Mom knew she would have to clear it with Dad first. (and told him so)

Not a month later he was arrested for molesting little girls and spent a couple of years in the pen.

He was so lucky he didn't go to the same prison as my father, I have no doubt he never would have made it out alive.
Poor analogy? maybe, but it's all about trust.
